Blender 2.9

shortcuts

SHIFT z: switch wireframe and object mode

f: fill faces or edges between edges or vertex

a: select all

ALT+a: select nothing

c: circle select

b: box select

SHIFT+b: zoom to box

SHIFT+s: cursor move or selection move

w: cycle between selecion modes

numpad emulation

edit → preferences → input → emulate numpa

enable 1,2,3 switch faces,edges,vertex: edit → preferences → keymap → search mode

select mode toggle: ALT+1

select mode toggle: ALT+2

select mode toggle: ALT+3

fix boolean operations

Sometimes boolean difference fails. Before try on each object:

edit mode

select all vertices A

vertex (top menu) → Merge Vertices → by distance (this operation remove duplicate vertices)

hide / show

select (multiple) object and SHIFT+H to hide others

recall others with ALT+H

edit mode

TAB key

activate Vertex select with 1, Edge select with 2 and Face select with 3

Create new object from selected vertex:

duplicate with SHIFT+d

ESC to exit from grab mode

parent selected with “p”

exit from edit mode with TAB and you will have two objects

CTRL+l: select touching vertex, edges, faces

Recalculate normals (to solve bevel problems): select all with “a” and hit “shift+n”

knife mode K:

c for angle constrain

z for cut all deeper edges

put vertex same X, Y or Z:

position the 3d cursor at the Y location

set the pivot point to the 3d cursor (. period key)

then scale by zero on the Y axis (S Y 0)

Hey! Apologies for Necro'ing this thread but I think I have the exact same board and machine as you, and was running into the exact same problem. I don't know if you wound up solving your problem, but the change that worked for me was two fold:

twist the spindle wires together between the motor and the board, adding a shield if necessary (I eventually removed the shielding when I accidentally damaged it)

solder a 0.1uF ceramic capacitor (make sure it is bidirectional!!!) between each terminal of the spindle motor to the spindle motor body itself. Ideally, you would also solder a third capacitor between each motor terminal, but I did not do so and have not yet had the random dropouts I did before.

Hi guys, after long time dealing with exactly the same problem I figured out that the power supply of mine 3018 is insulation class type II, it means that there is no connection of the CNC ground to net ground, so the entire frame/circuit is “floating”. Also, there was no connection between the controller board ground and the frame. It makes it very sensitive to electric noise! So I installed a ground wire fixed from the frame to the controller board AND a connection from the frame to the nets ground and all problems desapeared. So instead os be changing cables, installing pullups and pulldowns or changing configurations my recomendation is “make sure it is all ground connected.
