Not getting round shape correctly

Hello there.

I am trying to cut a simple wood button for a project and the shape is completely wrong, though the image is a perfect circle. It’s was built in LightBurn.

The image in LightBurn:

I have a LightBurn original software.
I also share my device settings files.

Thank you

Maybe try checking the belt tension, the tightness of the shaft couplings connecting the stepper motors to the drive shafts, and the tightness of the toothed belt pulleys.

Hello. Thank you for the advice. They all seem to slide smoothly if I move the machine 45 degrees. How can I be sure that the tension is the correct one? Thank you once again

Is the lens that bundles your laser beam clean and not broken? Is it at the right position to focus correctly?

Thank you. I think there is nothing wrong with the laser. The focusing test:

You cannot check this with the motion tilt test. That only tells you if the belts are too tight.

My S30 Xaxis coupling was loose on a brand new machine. Take the Allen wrench and check all the grub (set) screws.

Not sure I understand this - I was just suggesting to check belt tensions and tightness of the shaft couplings, for which I would use an Allen key.

I think we are saying the same thing. :joy:

Thank you both. Much better, but no quite a circle. ¿Any other tip?

One other thing that might be worth checking is that the frame and gantry are all square and at 90º - measure the diagonals of the frame maybe?
