Importing bundles to add configurations is a beautifully simple process.
Thanks for sharing this; I’ve installed the Nomad 3 bundle.
I’ll try it out soon and report back … thank you!

I’m able to go through the Carbide puck probing process successfully on the Nomad³ on today’s nightly and get the same “Setting the WCO for the Z axis requires also probing the tool length.” dialog afterwards. When I run the Tool Length Probe, the tool is moved away from the puck and towards Zmin, triggers the Z axis endstop sensor and errors out with the “Hard limit triggered” message in the console, and with the “Operation Timed Out” dialog pictured immediately afterwards. I’ll write this up on our side tomorrow. Do you get the same message?
Are you able to run the Tool Length Probe routine without hitting the Zaxis hard limit message and resulting stop?
Edit: Changing this line in the Tool Length Probing Custom GCode block lets the Tool Length Probing process proceed without hitting the Z-axis hard limit error.
G53G0 Z-1
This is what I’m using now for the Nomad³ Tool Length Probe Custom GCode. Once you enter your probe configuration, change the G53G0 Z0 value to Z-1 in both lines. With that change the Nomad completes the probing processes without hitting any of the endstop hard limit errors. YMMV, but I’m curious to see if this works for you as well. I’ve ran this on our nightlies, RC4, and RC5.

I also have “Has Tool Length Probe” active in the device settings, so it’s probing the tool automatically before each run, making tool changes easier.
I still need to hit the stop button twice after closing the enclosure to continue, but the project completed successfully with the puck and tool length probe.
Here’s the device profile I setup for the Nomad³. Review the settings after you load it to make sure it makes sense for your machine, just in case.

I did a quick cut with this config file. Note my use of the word “quick”.
That would only be possible if MillMage worked as expected.
Congrats on configuring MillMage for a Nomad 883.
I’ll continue testing and provide feedback as appropriate. Thanks!

Claudio, Thank you. I had already changed the Z to -3 after probe. I will try you changes ASAP
This works great.
I did find a new issue on the Position tab.
Ticked Workpiece and as get all shows fine, However if I put in 0 and click Go To X it only goes to 20.39 and doing the same on Y goes to 8.58
Entering 0 on Z and Clicking Go To Z moves x and y back to those positions as well but gets Z right
There is some weirdness in the go to position handling, and how it treats the other axis fields when doing so.
