Hello, I have a problem that is probably easily solved, I just can’t find the correct settings to change.
I have a K40 with an Arduino controller that I have loaded GRBL 1.1g onto. This setup seems to work pretty well. Also LightBurn has made my life a lot easier when dealing with this machine, so thanks for that
Anyway, I have these setting programmed into GRBL:
$0=10
$1=255
$2=0
$3=2
$4=0
$5=0
$6=0
$10=1
$11=0.010
$12=0.002
$13=0
$20=1
$21=0
$22=1
$23=3
$24=300.000
$25=3000.000
$26=100
$27=1.000
$30=1000
$31=0
$32=1
$100=315.000
$101=315.000
$102=34.000
$110=7000.000
$111=7000.00
$112=300.00
$120=300.000
$121=300.000
$122=10.000
$130=333.000
$131=204.000
$132=0.000
I have also made sure that my “S-value max” in device settings is the same as my $30 GRBL setting of 1000.
If you look at the attached image, you can see this sort of ghosting effect happening when the laser hits an edge and changes direction. To my understanding this is to prevent scorching, which it does, but the lasers power is lowered a bit much, so depending on the wood density and grain direction this ghosting effect can become really distracting to the eye and kinda ruin a piece.
I have tried switching to M3 (i.e. pre GRBL 1.1 I think is what it is) and scorching becomes really bad.
Any thoughts here on what to change?
