Hello all, I am new to using a rotary tool. I understand that these things are difficult to setup for the first time based on all the forum results. I ran though testing and found the steps per rotation is 6100. The circumference of my object is 11.24690 inches. When I try to line out a rectangle o…

Something you need to look at. What is the Y position on your controller? If your Y position does not make sense to the controller when you send your file you will get this error. What I mean is if your Y position reads near 0 and your origin in lightburn is near 500 with the graphic going towards 0…

Here is the solution: [image] Frame Slop Error frustration LightBurn Hardware Compatibility I am continuously frustrated with “Frame Slop”. I’ve posted and received good advice on here and other places before, but I am still struggling to understand. I have a Ruida contro…

Thank you for the speedy response! Yes, I did review that posting. This is why I tested making my rectangle smaller to only 1.5 inches high by 1/4 inch wide. My laser head is smack dab right in the middle of my 28 inch by 20 inch bed and I still get the frame slop error. There should be plenty of t…

[image] ok0p0x: But when I switch over to User Origin mode Have you tried Current Position instead? You tell us everything except what the User Origin setting is.

Did you position the head and press origin on the machines console ? Your setup as a roller type rotary, so the object diameter doesn’t matter to the machine. You can use it to compute the working area withing Lightburn. :smiley_cat:

Yes, “Current Position” produces the same Frame Slop Error.

Did you position the head, then press origin on the machines console? If you don’t do this, it won’t work. :smiley_cat:

Yes, I have jogged the head to my starting point, pressed the Origin button on the controller. Still, same issue. I only provided the circumference so everyone understood why I was trying to engrave a 11 inch rectangle. Which should fit on my bed, but not even a 1.5 inch tall rectangle will when usi…

The machine thinks you are in a different place. If it works with absolute coordinates, it should work fine with user origin. You mention is doesn’t work with a 1.5" rectangle, is this 1.5" rectangle 11" in it’s other dimension? One side of a rectangle doesn’t tell us very much in these circumsta…

As mentioned in my original post, the rectangle has always been 1/4" wide. I started with it at 11" tall because that was the circumference of my item so I can find out how many steps my rotary tool would take for one rotation, then that 11"x1/4” rectangle should meet precisely end to end. This work…

Do you mind posting your source ? … I’d like to see how you have it positioned in the work area in Lightburn. You seem to know what you’re doing so I’m throwing out conflicting information. I’ve seen this a lot and it’s always boiled to a misunderstanding of the way it’s coordinate system works. …
