This is my first try at a project. It went OK, but I am definitely having problems and could use help debugging.
My first PCB try was a very simple board that went pretty well.

So I tried a more complicated board, and it did not go so well.

This was done with Eagle and pcb-gcode. The first version I made (not shown) caused Universal Gcode Sender to choke halfway through the board and give up (it just stopped on one point). Subsequent versions (using a .008 instead of .004 mill) generated simplified (shorter) code and made it through OK. However, the later cuts were off by considerable amounts. The above (which was the 5th try or so) is the best looking, but as you can see it is still unusable. In a few places, the Shapeoko simply missed, but in others (the blue arrow) it seems to have "forgotten" a spot.
Any suggestions on how to increase the machine's accuracy and on how to solve the missing cut issue? I am not sure where to go from here.The picture is too big to upload,please contact me if you can help me.Thank you so much.

I think this is spam. Or more specifically, it's setup for spam. At the very end of the only other message from this account, they offer "PCB layout services".

Answer was posted at that forum, 4 years ago. Maybe 'drs' never came back to read it?
 
*Maybe* it´s a new Bot trick to "show intelligence": they copypaste a real but old message with a somewhat related subject, and they drop their link-bomb at the end.  ???

Oh, so that's why there are no pics. They just copy-pasta'ed the text from the other message, but were too lazy to copy the pics.
 
They copy/paste because some forums keep new members on probation for the first several messages. The first 3 posts may have to be OKed by a moderator, for example. So they need kosher-looking text, and that is easier to copy than to invent. They may not be able to insert images or URL-links until they get 3 posts approved.

This one made much more sense when it was posted at a CAM PCB forum, with the pictures, than it does here naked.
