I don’t know anything about the 3018 but have seen it discussed in this forum before. Here is an old forum that discussed the problem you’re having and what setting $3 should be. If you are still having trouble @NeilFerreri1 will help get you going.
Good Luck

No they go the right way when you jog them , picture on screen is all correct but when it does the carving then it’s mirrored so back to front and upside down

They do now? Or before you changed $3?
