LR3 and EstlCAM v13

Software / Firmware EstlCAM
1

The problem may be related to the LR3 and EstlCAM v13.
I haven’t used my LR3 since last summer, which is
controlled by the old SKR Pro board.
I installed EstlCAM v13 and imported the settings from the previous version 12. I thought everything would work. Instead, I can send the LR3 to Home, perform a thickness probe, and everything works, but when I start the work gcode, the machine positions itself correctly on the piece and doesn’t proceed with milling. It seems stopped, but you can hear a stepper motor noise, as if it were moving at a very low, almost imperceptible speed.
I created a small test gcode that I’m attaching in the hope that someone will find the error.
Thanks in advance.

Pretty sure you switched mm/sec to mm/min in the basic settings by accident. Can you check please?

Thanks a lot Philipp, I checked but it doesn’t seem to be the case, I’m attaching an image of the setup

OOPS nwo I see a difference.
CNC conbtroller must be Millimiter per minute. Is thios correct?

5

I don’t know, I am using a different controller.. Just try. :sweat_smile:

6

Your Feedrate units are incorrect, should be mm/min. In your screen capture they’re mm/s

7

Correct.

8

Actually, the controller setting is unused (applies only if using EstlCam controller, you’re using Marlin).

The EstlCam setting MUST be in mm/minute, but it doesn’t hurt to do both.

9

That’s not correct. Mine is set at mm/sec for estlcam and the controller is set at mm/min and that works perfectly.

10

I stand corrected.(actually I’m reclining at the moment, but you get the gist…)

11

Many thanks to both of you, the problem was in the controller setup which was not set at mm/min

So to summarize:

  • the first setting is the units used for the gui when you pick cutting tools
  • the controller setting is the units put out as feed rate in the gcode
    Dies that sound right?

I can’t really help you.

I followed the instructions and still made a mistake.
