New and in need of help 😪

[Doddy]

As a footnote, just playing with Candle, and with no machine connected (as above, I don't have a 3018 or similar). Bottom right of my instance of Candle, running on a Mac, there's a text-entry widget intended to allow you to present G-Code to the machine. Just try entering the following G-Code into that, to get a feel for what G-Code is doing.... "G1 X10 F100" (then hit the "Send Command" button). Then try the same with "G1 X0". Then "G1 Y10 F400", If that results in some very basic movement (and doesn't break your machine!) then you can start to understand (a) the basis of G-Code instructions, and (b) the basics of the machine coordinate system - both of which would be useful starting points.
