Yeah, I don't have the latest trajectory planner. 3d_chips was one of my test files and came out ok without G64 settings. Any suggestions on how to estimate with G64? -Original Message- From: Todd Zuercher [mailto:zuerc...@embarqmail.com] Sent: Thursday, 16 October 2014 3:16 AM

I was so annoyed that the estimates for my 3d printing jobs were so far off (estimated 2 hours, took 8) that I modified the axis code. It looks at the Velocity and acceleration of each axis and tries to calculate a more accurate time. It only looks at moves - no G64 or probing. It isn't

My guess is the new tool planner's G64 settings are throwing off the estimate. Try the real time with tighter G64 PXXX, and I suspect your results will differ. - Original Message - From: Sebastian Kuzminsky s...@highlab.com To: Enhanced Machine Controller (EMC)

Thanks John, I will keep this in mind if i need to calculate run times more precisely. Just out of curiosity how dose LinuxCNC deal with sub routines, if, or, wile, logic ect. I am assuming it reads ahead does the calculations and spit out standard g code to the interpreter where it is

If you need the exact time to run a file create a simulator with the same acceleration and velocity settings as your machine. Add the time component to the simulator then run your file. JT On 10/8/2014 10:01 AM, Schooner wrote: First Q From Axis File Properties Brings up the
