I have had this problem before but I can’t remember what the solution was. The cnc goes to the first position, drops down and doesn’t move. I think it had to do with speed settings but I can’t remember how I fixed it.

You are setting your feedrates for 15mm/min and 3mm/min. It is moving, just extremely slowly.
Set all of your EstlCAM settings to mm/min

Isn’t that the same?
You should be running at around 15mm/s (900 mm/min)or higher.
Marlin expects mm/min. Depending on how you define settings in EstlCAM, you may have the output set for mm/sec, or you may be expressing feed rates in mm/s.
Far better (IMO) to use only mm/min for all settings, that way you won’t have errors in converting between mm/min and mm/,s

The control board is assuming the feedrate is set to mm/min, but the issue is that your CAM is probably set for outputting your g-code as mm/s This means it will output F3.0 when you really want F180.0

I normally use my laptop when using eltlcam but this time I used another computer which, apparently, had the wrong settings. The same thing happened last time I had this problem. I just remembered that this morning. Thanks for the help guys.
