I think we all need more information. What type of gift? (Description) What is wrong with your machine?

[blhutchens]

Do you have it designed already?

[joe4800]

I need Thomas the train carved out of someone can help me out

[blhutchens]

are you talking about a 3d model or just a raster carve?

I have found some models, some are good and other not so good.
I think there was a member who built a train table for a grandson that had Thomas on it

What is wrong with your machine?

[joe4800]

The z Motor is not working

[bergerud]

Are you trying to trouble shoot and fix it? The z motor system is the more reliable of the three. Any idea what could be wrong? Any symptoms which could determine what is wrong?

[joe4800]

When I start the machine it starts to cut and it cuts deeper and deeper in to the board I took it a part and try to clean everything still not working

[bergerud]

I sounds like a loose or dirty z encoder disc problem. You should take off the rear cover of the z motor and have a look at the disc. See the post

to see some of Al's pictures of an encoder disc.
