Rough Notes & Lessons Learned

  1. Disable "Sleep" power option on the computer running Ground Control. CNC cutting at a large scale is time consuming, having the computer go to sleep in the middle of a job will result in need to abort the job and recalibrate
  2. Always verify Z-axis zero and smooth z-travel of the router before beginning to ensure the target depth can be achieved
  3. When adding Tabs, they must meet minimum size requirements or will not be visible in application.
  4. Preview your Exported MakerCam.com GCode by uploading to ncviewer.com
