Very happy :slight_smile: Merry Christmas

Nice! :slight_smile: mine wrote backwards the first time… Lol

I have the same issue. How did you fix it?

@Tony_LaNuevo_AdoboTo hey Tony, you need to reverse two wires on the motor, or enter some commands into GRBL or UGS

I turned the x-axis around

You can see as the left y and z carriage have the wires coming out of the top of the motor. The right y carriage the motor wires are to the front.

And when I say turned it around. That is unscrewed it from the y carriages and turned the x axis around so the back now becomes the front. I had mistakenly put it on back to front!!!

@Grant_Macaulay so have been able to cut anything yet? :slight_smile:

are you using version GRbl v0.9?

What software are you guys using to generate Gcode? MeshCam, CamBamm? I’m drafting with auto cad, but I guess easel won’t accept AutoCad files… please help :slight_smile:

Makercam.com. and I’m trying out meshcam. But http://makercam.com works good.

@Tony_LaNuevo_AdoboTo is it free? hehe :wink: does it work with mac?

Yes and yes. Also use Inkscape to create your work. Free is awesome.

@Tony_LaNuevo_AdoboTo inkscape won’t install in my macbook, i wonder why? but I’m doing all my work in auto cad and solid works

Oh your set. Makercam.com just needs file format of .svg

@Tony_LaNuevo_AdoboTo thats the problem, maker cam won’t open auto cad files… neither STL… :frowning:

Try cut2d to test out. Bit cheaper than meshcam

@Tony_LaNuevo_AdoboTo is there a download website?

Vectric.com. also on invent ables site

@Tony_LaNuevo_AdoboTo I think meshcam might b the winner, $250 tho… :frowning:
