Incorrect output

Okay, I’m sure this is probably a simple fix (hopefully!)

So, I can’t seem to get the code to burn the correct “path”. I’ll try and add a picture to explain. I’m sure you’ll want to see some code/ software versions to help diagnose, so just let me know what it is that I need to post and I’ll do my best. (I’m very new to this so apologies for my ignorance in advance).

Kind regards, Davy

I can’t see how to add an image, but here’s a link to the results I’m getting.

The three words are three separate attempts (non of which were successful) with different settings.

Is there something that I’m obviously doing wrong?

Happy to add code as needed.

Kind regards, Davy

Hi, in the reply box the upload tab is the 7th from the left.
You’ll need to upload a screenshot of the ‘cuts/layers’ settings of the project you’re doing just for starters. :thinking:

Okay thanks Kris

The Gcode is pasted below and I’ve attached a few screen shots.

I’ll reply with a pic of the output in a moment.

Kind regards, Davy

Here’s the preview…

This is just weird, I put in these settings and get these results…

Screenshot - Black  optimisation settings

Hi, first thing i noticed is that you have in the ‘settings’ mm/sec best for co2 thinking it should be mm/min ‘best for diode’, don’t know anything about your machine i’ll have to have a quick read up.

Okay thanks, I’ll change that setting to start with then

Did you try it with mm/min?
The only thing i can think of is the belt tension or something else slightly too loose.
It looks like it’s jumping going by the pictures.
Hopefully someone who knows more about your machine will get back to you soon.
Sorry i couldn’t be more helpful.

yeah I changed that but it hasn’t made much(/any) difference unfortunately. Thanks for your help anyway.

Does anyone else have any ideas?
