Neje3 not burning through on the horizontal part of each square cut

Hi,

Please see the two images from a test cut that I have just completed. The horizontal part of the cuts do not penetrate through the 2.5mm Basswood yet the verticle ones do, see reverse photo of wood. I noticed that the horizontal cuts are twice as fast as the verticle and so is the laser intensity, do I need to make another change in the GRBL in console as I did for the $101.

Regards

Dave

Hi all,
I have just started out in the world of lasering and have purchased a Neje3. I downloaded and bought Lightburn. I know that Neje software is not compatible with lightburn and in Neje pressed the GRBL button. I started up Lightburn and followed the setup instructions. I then created an image and presses the burn key and found that the image once engraved was elongated. Looked at this forum and saw that I needed to press on the console button and type in $101=80. When I pressed on the console button I saw that it was already set at 80 so typed in 250 and did a test burn. I measured the square that I had engraved which I had set to 25mm square and it was exactly correct so it appears that has solved the problem, however I noticed that the vertical lines to the square are fainter than the horizontal lines. I am using the latest version of Lightburn on a HP laptop running windows 10. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
