I recently got a Creality falcon2, and ive been trying to tune the parameters for the laser. After doing a test (on black coated steel), I noticed that it looks like when cutting one direction the cut is offset, so one gap is smaller and the next bigger between the engraved lines. Has anyone seen something like this? Is there a software parameter i can tweak or is this something hardware related? Ive include a picture from a microscope to help explain because im bad with words lmao
There’s at least one loose screw somewhere between the motor shaft and the laser head, most likely on the pulley attached to the motor.
The machine may also have somewhat loose belts.
The laser head may be loose enough to flop around.
Although this is for Sculpfun lasers, it’ll give you an idea of what to look for and how to fix it:
The hardest part is realizing a new laser right out of the box can have badly adjusted (or just plain broken) components, so assuming anything in particular can’t be the problem is generally wrong.
Thats what i was thinking. Too consistent to be something software related. Thanks for the ideas and resources though! Ill take a look and see if i can adjust anything and find any loose fittings!
What are we looking at? A dot width correction test? Assuming so, it looks you’ve got some serious potential with that machine. The marks are very consistent and well ordered other than that (I’m assuming) backlash.
Can you provide any more details on the test and related parameters/settings?
