So i have been having issues doing any kind of SVG, shapes, or text in lightburn. I put everything in and tell it to engrave but then instead of circles it gives me ovals (and sometimes doesn’t even close the circle), when it does text it doesn’t do it in a straight line (letters go up and down), and when i try to do multiple passes, it never seems to go over a line a second time exactly.
Pictures:
I tried cutting this out, but it either doesn’t connect the shapes or cut too far.
I made circle shapes on Lightburn and they came out as ovals
Since it’s not going over the same place twice, hardware issues seem most likely.
For your Wizmaker L1 20W, try to determine the maker of its controller as you’ve stated in your profile that it’s “unknown”. Reach out the manufacturer.
I consider 24,000 mm/min on the manufacturer’s website as well beyond optimistic.
1/3 of this (8000 mm/min) might be a reasonable place to start.
Changing speed (acceleration) is what causes the laser engraver to flex or move around. If nothing is obviously loose mechanically, the next step is slowing down.
