    No idea but I hope you find the answer soon.

    It must be loosing a fair few steps to become visible, is it out by eye or are you measuring them?

    You can see it in the part. Now, the machine cuts 1000 holes, then 500 little lines, so whatever little issue there may be is multiplied 1500 times before it even starts the cutout.

    My interim solution was to set up the job in blocks... cut the holes in a section, cut out the parts, then move on to the next.

    I'm sure it's a config thing... probably a very simple fix.

    Sounds like the stepper motors are not set up correctly. Is there any way to set up your steps per inch ?
