Major rotary problems.
I have been pulling my hair out for several days trying to execute my first rotary carve. To make a long story short, Onefinity helped me with a couple of issues and resolved them, but I still have a problem. The first issue was a post-processor problem that we resolved. The second was the way that I set the work origin. I had it set for center, and it should have been lower left. I resolved that. Here's where we're at.
I'm running a Onefinity Foreman Elite with Maker. I extruded the part I wanted to machine and created the file. I set the origin to lower left, and the Z origin to the top of the material. However, the tech at Onefinity seemed to think that it should be the bottom. It doesn't matter, because I've set it both ways, and neither works.
After homing the machine and probing X, Y, and Z, when I run the program, the spindle spins up. In a few seconds, the cutter moves toward home, stops, moves to the right, and then starts the carve. However, the cutter was only positioned far enough to the right to be in line with the rotary motor, and nowhere near the material block. I'm losing my mind!
Please help!
