Does anyone know why Lightburn sometimes cuts off centre? I have been cutting large sheets of Christmas decorations and on most sheets everything is spot on. Yet on some sheets the holes used to hang the decorations do not cut central.
There is no rhyme or reason to why this happens. It could be none on 1 sheet, 5 on the next, 3 on the next, none for a few sheets then 8 on the next one. I cut just 2 decorations an hour ago and both had off centre holes cut. I am wasting a lot of materials & time due to this issue.
All the files are grouped, and sheets are secure on the laser bed. Any ideas as to why this is happening?
What machine or controller? (the âMachinesâ part of your user profile just says âSmokey71â which tells me nothing)
Most likely the machine is losing position when traveling between the cuts. This can happen if you run small shapes too fast, or if your acceleration or speed settings are too high.
If youâve been using the machine a lot, itâs possible that the rails or bearings are dirty, and the additional load on the motion system would make it more likely to skip.
