3018 Pro
I have just finished building a Two Trees 3018 Pro (bought from Micro Center). When I create a design in Easel. I created a machine profile with the following settings:
- Spindle Controlled by = Automatic
- Spindle = 24VDC
- Default Spindle RPM = 8000

G'day @Comsdude welcome to the forum.
Type $$ in the code bar and see if $32=0. If it reads $32=1, it has selected laser, not spindle.I have just finished building a Two Trees 3018 Pro (bought from Micro Center). When I create a design in Easel. I created a machine profile with the following settings:
When I go to print the spindle starts and runs for about a second or two then the connection between my computer and the machine is disconnected and the spindle stops. I have tried changing from automatic to Hardware. When I do this the machine starts on the path but without turning on the spindle. I have looked in UGS to try and manually turn on the spindle but didn't see a setting for this. Any suggestions on how to get this thing going would be appreciated.
- Spindle Controlled by = Automatic

You can also type M3 in the code bar to turn the spindle on and M5 to turn it off. Download Candle It has a section for turning the spindle on and off. I use it in preference to UGS.
I had a similar issue with my 3018 pro. I disconnected the offline control pad and the spindle ran continuously after that. I had one other time time that the spindle stopped mid carve after that and it took me a few minutes to realize that the power spade connector had vibrated off of the spindle.
