Laser running really fast and not burning or engraving

Why would the laser start running really fast, not engrave and be really jerky

  • Layer speed is set high
  • Layer power is set low
  • Laser power supply is off
  • Acceleration is set too high
  • Velocity is set too high
  • Holding torque is set too high
  • The laser is being operated in a zero gravity environment :slight_smile:

There is not much detail in the question, so the answers above are of a very general nature.

Take some time and explore the forum. Read a little bit from search results. Try searching on keywords you may think are related to your issue.

Imagine if your question read:

“Why would my car start to run really fast, lose steering, and ride really rough”. So many reasons for each one of those situations individually.

I have tried the speed setting but it just all.of a sudden started doing it. Laser comes on but won’t cut and its almost seem uncontrollable also makes a noise when framing

What speed are you using, including units? (50 mm/sec, 3000 mm/min, … ?)

You might have accidentally enabled “inches” mode, for example, and a setting of 3000 inches/min would be MUCH faster than 3000 mm/min.
