Either change the scan angle to -180 or flip the entire design around.
Oh so your just saying flip the imageā¦ So I am engraving it now, and if it does finish because its a smaller section towards the end, then that doesnāt mean if I do larger burns that it will allow me to burn the full frame length. Which still causes a problem that needs to be found and corrected. I did order new printer cable connections -2 of them one is USB C to see if it will work better on my computer, and I found someone online that stated they bought a new power supply. That doesnāt make me too happy since I have only had this laser a few weeks. Ill buy some wire today to ground the system. In all it still does not explain why all of a sudden I cannot print fully on the board since like I mentioned, My ruler board was a constant non stop[ print. Im also looking at all the wires to make sure nothing is loose and will recheck once the engraving is done.
To be more precise with language I should have said rotate rather than flip. But yes, thatās one way to do try it.
So I did a light burn etch and yes it did the whole thing flipped and started doing the outline. So would the stopping be because it was a deeper burn???
Hard to say without doing a like-for-like burn. If it fails at the same area of the design with the original settings then to me that implies a static issue. Since it doesnāt fail with lower settings Iām wondering if possibly a power supply issue.
However, it looks like you have a dedicated power supply for the laser module separate from the controller. Is that correct? And youāre not drawing any power from the controller to the laser module? As in thatās not connected.
In that case another test you could try outside of the full burn is to disconnect power to the laser module and run at original power. If it works then that firmly points more to a power issue.
Well I did a second burn on same board to make it darkerā¦ finished and even cut the state out. So I donāt get it. What I am going to do is set up another to do the same burn different settings. Stronger on the burn and slower on the cut since the cut took a few times because speed was too much initially and bounced out of alignment.
Iām curious if itās related then to the wide scans near the Y position that itās been failing. The more unique data points that can be collected the more likely to be able to narrow down root cause.
I plan on doing a normal burn after this one. So far this is a great burn at 40% speed 70% power. And I have 3 layers Iāll be doing cuts with. So itās on first cuts now.
