Socket Error #11001 Host not found, Select OK
This socket error has nothing to do with feed rate - it's another issue. I suspect you have another issue buried in your system but if your happy that's all that matters.

Re: Troubleshooting - CNC Shark CP v2.1 Connected USB

Re: Shark HD3 Aluminum Base Track T-Nut size?

Re: Tape Splitting

Here's what I never understand: Why do guys like you, who figure out how to do things like this, NEVER actually include WHAT you did? Nor even where you found the solution. You're a prime culprit is this regard Rando. You post these long written solutions that actually don't most of the time give e...

Re: Custom touch plate

The only thing I've encountered is problems if I start running gcode when I'm not at (0,0,0). It's probably because of relative moves in g-code, rather than absolute.

Re: Z Axis Issues

Your post implies I would need to look at getting fan in the controller box? Bill, You said you've run the job a few times before without issue. I seriously doubt heat is an issue - I'd suspect perhaps a brownout or something else gremlin like. My thoughts would be to simply monitor it going forwar...
