Laser Jumping on X Axis

LightBurn Hardware Compatibility Sculpfun
1

Looking for help with my laser projects:
Laser: Sculpfun S10
Software: Lightburn version 1.7.06
Computer: Microsoft go tablet

I’ve had my machine for about 6 months now and everything has been working fine. Today the machine started jumping on the x axis and messing up the overall engraving.
What I have done so far:

  1. Deleted machine from lightburn and added back to devices.
  2. Cleaned x axis rail and belt
  3. Moved engraving to different positions around grid and attempted.

Any help appreciated, hopefully the picture came thru.

I would check all setscrews on motor pullies and couplers with an allen wrench.
Also for any looseness at laser module.

This is most likely a mechanical issue. Go through this guide and check everything that’s mentioned there:

Thanks all for the replies. I figured it out this morning. I took apart the x axis c track and cleaned again. This time I added a small amount of grease to the ball bearings inside the mount. Just did for engraving jobs with no issues.
