I bought a Longer RAY5 5W laser back in December and have had no issues with it, runs great. I just recently bought a RAY5 20W and I am having issues with the speed. After running a material test, I compared the same file using the 5W and the 20W. The 20W was gonig to take 13 minutes longer to run than the 5W. When I first set it up, I set it up to run the Longer rotary and I did change the Y Max rate ($111) to slow the roller down a little bit, and that is where the troubles began. I tried changing it back to 1,600 mm/min but it seems to have had no affect. I have noticed in my device settings, my maximum x and y speed as well as rapid speed is 26.7 mm/sec, but even if I try to change that, the head still moves very slowly. Did changing the Y Max rate in the machine settings also change another setting somewhere that I need to change back to the default setting? Any ideas of what might be happening? I have uploaded my current machine and device settings.
Did you disable rotary?
Yes I did. Should have mentioned that.
1600 is very slow for a current laser. I’d try to set $110 and $111 to 6000.
Edit: I just checked the advertisements, and they say it should reach 10,000 as well. So set those to 10,000.

Yep, that was the issue! Not sure why I didn’t think of that. Thank you!
I’m an idiot.
