Another Question...direction of burn

I have a D1 Pro 20w and using LightBurn. When I do my burns the laser moves up and down instead of side to side. Is that how it’s supposed to burn? If not…what’s the deal?!
(See how the burn marks are vertical instead of horizontal)

What is your scan angle in the cut settings editor, for left to right it should be set to 0 degrees

You generally run the most movement in the axes that has less mass or is lighter.

If the head is on the X axes, which is most common, then the whole X axes mass or weight is also on the Y axes… faster to move the Y axes the least amount as it will take the most time…

You maximum speeds and acceleration values should be different, since one is lighter than the other.

As @Mooseuk pointed out, it’s controlled by the scan angle.

Make sense?
