That is what I ended up doing. But I also had to remove all instances of Microsoft Virtual C ++ 2008 and 2010. There were 4 of each. After the install there was 2 of each and that solved the problem. I finally got it going around midnight last Saturday. I forgot that I posted in here. Thanks for the...

Control Panel 2.1 stopped working this morning. Windiows did an update two nights ago and I tried to start CNC Control Panel 2.1 this morning and it will not display the program screen. I can hear it connect to the controller on my Shark HD3 because the stepping motors stop and start like always whe...

This phenomena is virtually identical to what I am seeing (https://www.cncsharktalk.com/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=6276) It would be nice to see what the resolution was for this. Hi dgarvin - There was no resolution from NextWave. Got one email back from them asking me to try a new post processor file to...

This is not in regards to your code query, but the first thing that I saw was your failure to use a spoilboard. it scares me think of a pristine machine bed being gouged up with a possible "oops" in coding. NL7U - You are correct and I have since added "spoil board rails" to my machine. I added the...

Hi Sharkcutup, Thanks for replying. I heard back from Nextwave today as well and they are working with me on solving this problem. That's amazing considering it is New Years Eve. As you can see from the Vectric forum, I have a couple of work arounds so I am not stopped from carving (that would be de...

Okay... Some success. - I drew an 11.5" circle in V-Carve - I programmed profile toolpath, inside/left using a 1/8" end mill - I saved the cutter path 2 times: once with the 3D post processor and one with the ARCS post processor - I set up a piece of MDF and deliberately put a 1/8" shim under the to...

Hey Sharkcutup! Thanks for taking the time to run that. Question: Just so I am sure, did you run virtual zero or just set zero and run the cutter paths? I am using a Shark HD3. If you ran Virtual Zero then there is definitely a glitch with my machine. I have opened a ticket with Nextwave to see if I...

Thanks for replying! Here is the V-Carve Desktop file with only the vectors that I am having the issues with. Partial file due to privacy and copy write. RWR-Crest-MDF-PartialForForum.crv Here is the G-code created from the V-Carve file just for the 1/8" cutter causing the issue (not the V-carve cut...

I have a problem when using virtual zero on a sign I am currently working on. The project involves two circles with text between them that I am V-carving and using a 1/8 end-mill to clear before the v-bit. When the 1/8 cutter performs the circular interpolation around each circle (the most inner and...

Just purchased a Shark CNC HD3 and unboxed it yesterday. I am ready to cut but the X and Z axis direction are backwards. Does anyone know how to change them?
