If these values are off, the image will slide a bit or be squished/widened … so it’s probably correct.
These are relatively simple to set up.
Mine has a 5000 step/rotation Motor driver set to 2000 steps/rotation. The ratio between motor and roller is 2.5:1 … 2.5 * 2000 = 5000 steps/rotation, which is the setting for the rotary steps/rotation.
What interval are you using and how big is this graphic? It’s possibly just a scanning offset adjustment. You also didn’t mention which axes is x or y related to the photo orientation.
Check this in the documentation… It’s hard to tell without some idea of the size… It seems like this may apply.
Always make a backup of software before you change anything… I’ve changed one value and couldn’t remember what it was, so I hear and feel with you…
Maybe a good reason to get to a Linux based machine.
I did the calculations
Y axis
Which gives me 12500
I tried so many different settings I just can’t get the lines disappear I really think that 12500 is wrong lol even tho that’s the calculation result ?
I’m also gonna do the test when I get the chance ( if my son takes a nap soon lol )
So if I draw a 4 inch line on lightburn
And engrave that on my tumbler
When I measure it on my tumbler it should be exactly 4 inches right? Maybe 12500 isn’t right somehow
I just did a this
Still 12500
No offset
Just played with interval
.1 vs .7 letter J
My question is how do these people I watched on Tiktok and YouTube engrave perfect lines at .1 but I can’t? Lol I am starting to annoy myself and getting frustrated
That’s great… as a suggestion, you’d benefit from the Laser Everything photo engraving how to video. This is brilliant in explaining and showing you how to find the best interval for whatever you are doing.
This is one of the most critical adjustments for lasing, but receives little distinction or attention for the amount of impact it has for lasing, either fill or photo.
I appreciate you trying to help me
I am just very picky and using a cheap xtool d1 laser and achieved very smooth lines even at .1 and so when this didn’t I started getting frustrated right away but I have to remember this is a complete different beast of a machine and I’ll learn as I go probably
Yep… I suggest that video, as what you will learn, you will use it as long as you lase things… and give you insight to things you probably never thought about…
I want you to have fun, not the other F word … frustration…
