Creality Falcon A1

Did my research, read the reviews and bought the machine. After 1 days use the laser doesn’t even cut through cardstock for stencils and moves very slow no matter what you set it at. Customer service is all but non existent. Cheap Chinese now heading for the skip.

If you would like to troubleshoot further, post the GRBL settings of the machine here - to do that go to your LightBurn Console Window, and enter $$

Select and copy the results from the console window and then paste them here please.

Reset while in motion. Grbl cannot guarantee position. Lost steps are likely. Re-homing is highly recommended.

Just had to say…Hang in there Cyril.

Lesson learned. Never buy anything that you can’t get physically serviced or repaired in your own country. They want me to send a video of it not working!!! What planet are these people from?

The planet of very cheap labor and materials, and is full of people that choose price over quality.
