Lines in Engraving

Hello, I recently started getting into laser burning / Engraving and have been having an issue with it. When I try to burn a tree on tile everything else burns fine but the tree. The tree has lines in it every time no matter where I place it it, speed, power everything. So I decided to try a different tree, same thing happens. It’s like this ortur laser master 2 20w hates trees. Any thoughts?

My first print was amazing except the tree made the laser jitter so much that the rest of the prints was off center. So I started printing the tree last. I have waisted 8 tiles now because of the lines.

I decided to try just the tree on some particle board and you can see it here too.

Any thoughts?

you might want to share the lightburn file. that way others can see your settings. or test it with there lazer.

Oh sorry about that, that would have been more helpful. So since the post I have been working on burning a picture of my wife and son and there are no lines, so its just when i do trees :smiley:

Hello. It’s been 6 days since I posted this and am wondering if I’m maybe looking for help in the wrong section? Is there direct support available or just community forums? I know that sounds like I’m coming off as a jerk and I’m far from that. I have just been having issues with this that I was in hopes to getting help on sooner than later.

It’s weird that I can engrave other things without issues but trees so far.

You are in the right place to receive direct support from LightBurn and, you get the benefit of having community-based support integrated in as well, at no additional cost to you. I know I was waiting to see your file. :slight_smile:

Looking at this file I see you have ‘Flood Fill’ set for the Trees layer. Resulting in the laser bouncing around a bunch. This is not the intended use of this feature. Turn that OFF (red).
