Laser moves "in steps" while doing a rubber band frame

[Patico (Alonso Cambronero)]

As stated in the title, when I do a rubber band frame, the laser head moves in steps while tracing a curve, instead of a smooth motion like when it’s cutting the same pattern.
The movement is so harsh that the entire chassis of my machine shakes with it. Is this normal?

(Machine is a Amazon 80 watts red/black chinese cutter. Purchased from OMTechm if that matters)

As far as the “steps” thing, if you convert things like that to paths, it tends to stop the “stepping”

Thank you for the input, yet this is not true.

Thank you for identifying this, as the issue is with the way the Ruida motion control system deals with Frame Requests, as discussed in the post below.

Rubber band boundary not running smooth issue

Hi, I was cutting circles when I noticed that when I use square boundary it works well, but when I use rubber band boundary it doesn’t go smooth. Its very rough almost like zig-zagging. Any ideas why? I have Ruida controller. Cheers, Daniel

Understood. I am glad it’s not a problem on my machine.
