A few things jump out right away:
It looks like you just have the card on paper, and it’s bending & curling - It needs to be flat. (3 minute mark of the video - https://youtu.be/ONnmCaoUkLQ?t=183 )
You don’t have enough white border around the bottom (needs about 1/4")
You’re holding it up at an angle, instead of toward the camera (3:55 in the video - https://youtu.be/ONnmCaoUkLQ?t=234 )
It’s too small in the camera view (5:15 in the video - https://youtu.be/ONnmCaoUkLQ?t=315 )
Thanks for the advice Oz. I’ve managed to calibrate it again, and got 0.3 or less on each capture. However, when actually testing it out…it is engraving way off to where the (in this case) a line of text is. It’s at least 8 inches off vertically and about 5 inches to the side any thoughts?
Are you using your machine in Absolute Coordinates mode? (You have to for the work to go where the camera image shows it).
Your profile says “blue and white”, not “Ruida”, “Trocen”, etc. If you specify your controller in the machines section, we can help you more easily.
Hmm, i thought i was using absolute co ords… ill check today. Apologies, yes its a Ruida
The latest versions force you back to Absolute Coords when you take a camera capture, but you show 0.9.07 here, so it’s worth checking
The other thing that happens often is that people back out of the Camera Alignment wizard, then go back through it, but forget to set the Scale value the second time through. This is also fixed on the latest release.
