Hi,
I’ve recently installed limiters on my Sculpfun s9 and set all the sizes of the work area to stop clashes.
Home puts the laser at 0.0, but when I frame, the Lazer jams into the bottom left corner and stops.
I have to restart the machine to use it again.
I set X 370mm, and Y 380mm, did this in the machine settings too.
Feels like the work area is the right size, but too low.
Any ideas?
Thanks all.
Most likely, the position is not set to 0,0 after homing. You can check by homing and then get the position information from the move window. If you have negative values, there are two options: flash a firmware with better homing support or set a workspace offset. The latter is usually easier to do. Procedure:
Then the laser should report 0,0 at that location. For reference:
Hi,
I checked the position.
Clicked home, then get position and it says 0.0
This is where I get confused.
It behaves different when I frame with Absolute co-ords or user defined.
But I just don’t understand why it wants to ram into the bottom.
Yes the square start at 0.0, but the starting position should be 0.0 and not further down.
I’m lost for ideas as I’m new to this.
Thanks
It surely does. You should usually only use absolute coordinates (should work fine in your setup then) and “current position”.
Only in absolute coordinates or “current position”.
If you use user defined, I guess you have set a user position in negative space. That’s why the laser trys to move into the frame. Only use user origin if you know exactly what you are doing and have a specific use case for it. First thing is to clear user origin in move window.
Ahhhh
Thanks.
Appreciate all the help
