Engraving not centered (engraves to the right)

Community Laser Talk

Hi!
I’m having some trouble with my laser engraving everything to the right side, I center the designs and the scored part is OK, but when it comes to engrave it always “slides” to the right.
I’ve done everything I can think of, and have my laser stopped for a week. I tried several files, aligned the mirrors, checked the belts (I think they’re OK), tightened screws, slowed down the speed, checked the offset scanning adjustment, basically everything I can think of. Can anyone help me understand what’s going on?
Thank you!

I have a 60w omtech. Forgot to mention that :blush:

Although probably not an issue, can you drop the .lbrn2 file you are using here?

It looks odd that the right sides and bottom are darker.

Maybe a picture that was a little more clear?

If you lower minimum power it will burn less on the corners.

Hi! I just created two squares on lightburn, the outer one set to line and the smaller one to fill. But this happens with every file, even ones I used before many times :confused: (I don’t have this file anymore, I didn’t save it, they were just two squares, the bigger one about 1,5 cm). I’ll take other photos, but the engrave seems about the same color here, it’s probably the photo
I tried with circles, squares, old files…
