Hi Jerome, I am now cutting some foam parts with my machine, but it incredibly slow. I have tried a lot of different settings but only a few settings work with my motors and drivers. Here are some pictures of my breakout board and stepper drivers. I am using 16 or 32 step settings on the DIP switche...

Hi Jerome, yes I have managed to set the speed. My threaded rod is M8 x 1.25 mm and I found that one of my stepper drivers has one DIP switch that is not working correctly but I found a good setting anyway. In your manual control setting, the slow or fast buttons make no difference and it takes some...

Hi, I have managed to cut a few foam shapes now with my machine, but I would like to know how to set the motor speed and what microstep timing is recommended. I have drivers based on the TB 6600 driver chips and there are 3 DIP switches for microstep setting. Do I set them for 1, 1/2, 1/4 etc.? My m...

Thanks very much Jerome! Just keep dreaming............

Hi Jerome, I have been trying to set the configuration for a few days now and I do not seem to be able to get it right. Maybe you can make some suggestions please? I have 4 x TB6600 stepper drivers and they have 3 DIP switch setting for different microsteps 1,2,4....32 etc. my motors are Nema 17 wit...

Thanks Jerome, that is very useful. yesterday I got one stepper to work from the manual cut option so now I see how everything works together. Now I can continue with the mechanics of my cutter. I will take some photos later and make a nice write up in English. I have a little understanding now of t...

Hi Jerome,
The dxf file imports o.k. on my Windows 7 pc with no error messages. I was able to save it in your jdc format and open it on the XP machine.

Thanks for the idea of using the cutting wizard. I have a lot to learn!

I don't understand. Do you want to generate GCode with Jedicut ?

Yes.......Mirek said that he wanted to use the exported g-code in another program called Theramino, so I was wondering if Jedicut exported g-code. Thanks.
