Invitation to Millmage team to particpate in Livestream 3pm EDT Saturday 11/08/25

[HoboWithWood (Steve Fortner)]

I would love it if someone from the team could make a little time to join the stream to tell us what’s expected and in what time frame for Millmage. Discuss the problems I’ve already encountered but not found a solution to. If available contact me at hobowithwood@gmail.com I can send you a link to the stream studio.

What issues haven’t you found solutions for? I can’t do your stream but I can help with issues here.

Here is a link to the biggest current mystery.

Random G0 Z20 command crashes CNC

[image] In the code above, there is a random line of code that I cannot find the source for and it crashes my CNC. G0 Z20 I have my safe clear clearance height set to 5mm. This is observable in the line G0 Z5. But the previous G0 Z20 command before the spindle is even started, sends my machine beyond it’s limits and crashes the job before starting it. If I move the spindle to the side of the material, I can lower the bit past Z0 and allow for enough travel for the move up the commanded 20…

Last week’s livestream was devoted to trying to figure it out. No one could. Even more confusing, not everyone was having the same random code. Everyone I think was having a G0 ZXX line on code. But the move value differed.

I demonstrated it had nothing to do with the safe clearance height, but could never figure out where it came from.

You posted this Nov 7? Regardless of anything else, we’d need a bunch more notice than that.

[HoboWithWood (Steve Fortner)]

Hey @LightBurn Oz.

I am live every Saturday. Actually twice. The times are 3pm EDT and 9PM EDT. The subject is always Lightburn and MillMage. They alternate time slots. Next week, Lightburn @ 3 and MillMage @ 9. Anyone from the developing team is welcome. My email is HoboWithWood@GMail.com and I will be glad to share the studio link.
