[Tjhen (Tim Hensley)]

Why is it not cutting out like its suppose to? If I cut it out by itself it cuts like it’s suppose to only when I cut the whole pattern out.

Hi Tim,

Without knowing what you’re expecting to see, it’s hard to help you figure out what’s happening. Would you please add a picture of the tests that are cutting correctly? A screenshot of the Preview window might also be helpful.

Ah! The Xtool G-Code triangle glitch rises from the grave:

Triangles instead of squares

Good morning everyone, I recently purchased a new 20W XTOOL s1 laser engraver and I encountered a problem while testing the materials: instead of cutting squares, as per the preview, it cuts triangles [20231220_192253] If this anomaly were limited to testing only it would not be a problem, unfortunately this also happens during project processing [20231220_190431] I noticed that this anomaly occurs when the cut feature is after the fill feature. If I do the cutting first and then the fil…

I don’t know what the current status of that mess might be, but newer / better firmware seems appropriate.

Yes, this is a known issue along with a few others affecting the support for Xtool. We continue to test fixes targeted for the 1.7.00 beta. We have a select group assisting with these changes and the testing has been going well. Solution is on its way and should be available soon-ish™.
