Image shift when running a large job

[fastrider777 (Rob Steffens)]

Hello Everyone,

I’m having a problem with my china built blue and white laser. 180w with a 1300 X 900mm bed.

If I have multiple images, layers or shapes… If I select a small area to engrave or cut, everything is fine. If I select a larger area, or get really greedy and try to run a full bed of things, as more of the images start to get cut or engraved, I develop a shift in the images.

I would love to select the whole job, and work on something on my workbench while the job runs instead of having to dice the job up into little bits and constantly start a new job so I don’t lose whatever is on the laser.

It really gets worse if the image is being filled.

Where do I start looking for a solution?

Thank you in advance,

You don’t give us a whole lot to go on. A photo of the problem is nice.

Are they off a specific direction.?

Might give this a read and see if it is anyway helpful.
