Yup 100% z travel problem. Once I moved the router down worked as expected. Then it dawned on me that a “verify” button on the job run would be very useful. The preview knows all of the x,y, and z coordinates from the file so that could check against the bit offset and give me a green go or red stop.by Curtis - Handibot Forum
Had something odd happen last night where the z-zero changed somehow during the cut. I have a sbp file (part I drew in Fusion360 and wrote out using the HB post processor). When I was using the 1/4" spiral upcut bit it was cutting through the material but when I switched to a straight flute 1/4" bit an ran the same file it did not cut through the material. I did re-zero out the topby Curtis - Handibot Forum
Actually just had an idea for maybe why it was too deep. When doing the tour it has you zero it out first (and then do the home). That first zero attempt the dust collector was on and when that collided with the stepper if that caused it to not lower (but it thought it was lowering) then it would think the zero is inside the material. Then in the home I would have done resume and then the cutby Curtis - Handibot Forum
A few updates: 1) I took a break from the other cuts I was doing and replayed the test cut. I zero-ed out the bit and checked that setting it to zero it was on the material (before going to zero I set it to 0.75 and check that a scrap just fits; and it did). I then re-did the cut and it just cut the air this time. So odd again 2) I did find that the router wasn't perfectly vertical.by Curtis - Handibot Forum
Yeah I will edit the macro#3 to change my home a little more to the left. The Z-Zero also looks like it has it's own code to home the X so I will also edit that code and test. I did the zero and then checked the Z and yes it is indeed on the top of the material (so that is working). For the test cut I will do that later today (after work). I did however think about it more and twoby Curtis - Handibot Forum
Just received my handibot today and encountered a few problems. 1) The instructions said to start the Quick Launch App (but that app does not exist) so lauched the HandiBot-Tour instead 2) The Z-Zero as part of that tour has the dust connector colliding with the motor (yeah I left it on and just connected the clip under the brushes) 3) The test cut was really deep After that did a bitby Curtis - Handibot Forum
