What the heck happened here ?

Can someone guess what kind of logo this is you have a good eye.

Thing is…all looks perfectly normal in ESTLCam when I select tools (engrave) and my pen.
The preview is also all ok - then the result is this piece…

Here is the logo in ESTLCam

It is so jumbled that it makes me think that either:

  1. You are using some combination of relative and absolute coordinates, but sone features are not messed up.
  2. You have your Z axis flipped, so it is pushing down during travel moves and lifting up to write.

I have no idea, Ill do some more tests, if the crown still works I assume there are no wrong with directions

It must be settings in ESTLCam - Tool settings or CNC settings.

It must be the settings, I,J values
estlcam

When I ticked this one the output is OK again.

Made me really confused, I was comparing with the Gcode in the 12mm testcrown and it has no I or J values nor does it have any G02 or G03

Mine has them left right and center :=)

Hunting a clean code I must have ticked that one off…

Some ESTLCam mistakes…by me

Some lines are double, some are missed…

When it comes to carving this one out I have to be very careful selecting all shapes as there are plenty…
