After I run the crown, is there any gcode that exercises a new build? Moves to all extents, like a spoil board resurface, exercises arcs, moving both x and y together, etc.? I would think you would need to input the max size of the build…
Would be good to move everywhere and make sure I have everything clear of the gantry and it can move and cover my 24" x 24" workspace.
Thanks
Share a gcode that fits all different mpcnc sizes is impossible, so you’ll have to do yours.
You can draw a simple 24" square, and ask your mpcnc to cut it in the air.
Spoil board resurface is easiest while still being useful. Start with a rectangle sized the same as your workable area then pocket it a half millimeter or so. Rerun if it doesn’t touch everywhere, as many times as needed.
Here’s several DXF files, they won’t exercise your Z.
It’s a long time since I used a zip program, let me know if you have a problem with them.
They are in metric.

Zip file worked perfect!
Thanks Bill
You can of course use the dxf files with the pen Tom.
To exercise the Z you could open the file I linked to in Estlcam and give each square and circle a different depth but if you are just learning please make sure your Z is well above the work surface.
