I updated firmware and wanted to perform a test cut with it.
Happy to report that everything worked just fine.
Allow me to introduce the Cowboy Kid.
(Reason for the sash is a scrape from a rapid move … it’d be nice if first it raised to above Z=0.)

That looks fantastic! Great work!
Was this when moving from the home position to start the cut? Some gcode generation programs will automatically program a move to a safe height first, some won’t do it 
Can I ask details of the cut? What kind of material, router bit, and speeds? Came out nice.
I exported my GCOCE from either Vcarve Pro or Carbide Create Pro or MillMage.
For future planning can you tell me if one raises the bit before a rapid move?
Maybe I’m a slow learner but I’ve made this mistake several times. 
I’ll have to check when next I go to my shop but I’ll try to get that info to you.
Update …
I was curious which package I used so I went and checked. Turns out I generated my GCODE from Carbide Create Pro. To answer your questions: 1) material was 11-ply baltic birch (scrap), 2) the bit was a 0.25” three flute upcut flat end mill and 3) the feed rate was 55 inches/minute.

Thank you. Trying to get a sense of what speeds are reasonable. Yours came out nice.
