Laser doesn’t turn off during transversals

[mbgfire2008 (Seth Lenker)]

So recently I started to have the issue with the laser not shutting off when it transverses from line to line or when it’s filling. It’s rather strange as it seemed to happen over night as no changes were made in the settings.

Thanks!

Laser not turning off between cuts? (burning during travel moves)

Fix this by typing $32=1 in the Console window and pressing enter If you have a Ruida or other DSP controller and are seeing this happen, it is most likely a dying high-voltage power supply unit (PSU). The drive circuit that turns the laser power off and on tends to go first, before the part …
