Super Slow Cutting

Hey all,
So I have an MPCNC I build awhile ago that I just upgraded in the following ways:

  • New Jackpot Board
  • ESTLCam 12 Upgrade

I was trying to basically do things from scratch but the cutting is so slow. I never really got this thing on rails so I would REALLY appreciate some hints.

I have the following setup:

In ESTLCam I have the following:



The machine starts and moves very quickly to the start position and then it goes at a super slow pace such that I could not really see it moving at all without really focusing on it.

The GCode starts like this:

Also WIFI is totally unusable on FluidNC, it works as an AP but cannot use the Wifi even though another ESP32 device next to it is able to connect fine. Not sure if an issue with the firmware or what…

Any hints would be appreciated!

Change this to millimeters per minute

It is currently sending your mm/s value as mm/min

These should be much higher

like 60x as high :slight_smile:

Thanks so much! I figured it was one of those settings but was not sure which one, not exactly intuitive to me at least.
