I've been having the check cut motor error when doing a vector cut like many here. This happens on the first carve after the machine is first turned on. After I hit enter the vector cut completes normally.
Yesterday that didn't happen. My first carve was a fairly lengthy vector carve and the check cut motor error didn't come up. That was until I realized that the muffler/dust bag on the back of the carvewright had been left off following some cleaning of the machine. In just a short time after I put the muffler/dust bag back on the carving stopped and the check cut motor error appeared. I think this happened because the dust bag in my case a sock (original bag developed a hole) was clogged with dust and the back pressure generated by the motor caused the motor sensors to miss-read the rpms. This may be happening to others that have original dust bag, not a sock, that are clogged with dust.
I'm curious if anyone else has seen similar behavior.
