I am new here. could you show an example of Min power. I am looking for that setting.
I all so have the problem. I have the tab setting on off and it still randomly adding Tabs.
Is it because I am cutting to slow. Speed 7.0 Power 90. Like I said I am new bear with me. any help we be appreciated.
Min power doesnāt apply to GRBL controllers other than in the context of grayscale so thatās why you likely donāt see that field.

On a GRBL controller itās better to work in Inches per Minute or mm per Minute.
Please confirm the units of the speed. If youāre working in inches per second the symptom may have another cause.
If youāre at the bottom speed limit and attempting to cut you may need multiple faster cut passes at lower power. If you have pictures of your work, you can drag and drop them into a reply here.
Sometimes inconsistencies in materials, like Glue pockets in Plywood can generate things that look like tabs.
Itās possible the ācorner plannerā is playing with your cut.
Looking forward to pics. thanks.

Same laser, same problem!!! Looks like perforated cut rather than regular - LA Hobby Guy - I hope to get this figured out.
Can you post a photo of what youāre seeing here as well as the .lbrn file? Iām apparently unable to see the photo in the link you provided without having an account.
Iām not the OP, but here it is.
Thanks, Paul.
Assuming the gaps are not somehow in the design Iād guess one of two things:
- thereās a hardware malfunction, possibly a loose wire, corroded connectors, or nearly broken wire thatās intermittently losing signal along the cable from controller to laser module.
- firmware bug thatās mishandling power modulation by going too low for the module and dropping out. Itās also possible that the laser module is underperforming and dropping out at higher power levels than expected
Iād suggest trying to run this with āConstant power modeā enabled. If that eliminates the drop-outs then that would suggest the latter scenario.
Yep thats it. Gaps are not even the same distance. I dont have problems cutting paper or even engraving seems to be fine. I dont think I saved the lightburn file since it did this, I will have to check. I am pretty sure I had constant power mode on and at 80%.
I will check the wires. Hope this helps the OP too. Just weird how it is the same on both machines.

I believe there was at least an Ortur firmware bug where these dropouts would occur when you actually had Constant Power mode on. Itās possible Creality has the same defect. In that case, try turning Constant Power mode off and see if that changes things. If it does, see if Creality will resolve the bug or if the firmware source has been released then hopefully someone else can resolve it if thereās a community around it.
Thanx! There is a firmware update but my sdcard slot doesnt work and they are out of motherboards at the moment so I have to wait. Wonder if it would be safe to do it through usb or notā¦
In a conversation I had with Gil he āseemedā to imply as much. I was having a different issue (Iām running an OLM2 Pro S1) and he recommended disabling āConstant Power Modeā as he believed there might be a firmware issue (and, as you speculate, might exist in the Creality firmware). I have run without any problems since. Just my two cents worth.
Thank you! I will try that hopefully today!
