Does Crosshatch take into account for one Axis of the Laser Cutter usually being slower than the other? Like less than half the speed slower?
I usually don’t like to have my Y-Axis go beyond 150mm/s as nearing 200mm/s already causes a concerning sound I do not care for and anything beyond that is a guaranteed entire Marathon of Steps lost but my X-Axis is capable of doing 400mm/s ( after which I run the risk of losing Steps - Usually around 450mm/s ).
Obviously, I want my Scan Engraves to be as fast as possible so I usually set them to 400mm/s but from the looks there doesn’t appear to be an option to differentiate between the two Axis which I assume would end up in the Controller driving the Y-Axis at 400mm/s too?
This is going to depend on your definition of “take into account”. LightBurn will request that the laser go at the speed indicated in cut setting. If your machine configuration limits the speed such that it’s lower than the cut setting then you’re now at the mercy of the controller limit as well as the controller’s ability to down modulate power to accommodate the slower speed. This should be further limited by the min power setting in Cut setting. So the controller shouldn’t go lower than the min power setting that you’ve set. All in, this can cause some non-obvious behaviors under certain circumstances.
Hmm… I guess I then need to update the Machine Vendor Settings to limit the Machine to its usable Settings cause right now those are set to beyond highly optimistic values for both the X and Y-Axis
