P9 M50 + R3 Pro Rotary Roller – different deviation of the Y-axis

Hello,
can anyone think of a possible cause for the rotary roller problem?

In forward rotation (Y+) the deviation is minimal. But in backward rotation (Y-), the deviation is almost exactly 3 mm per revolution (of the test object).
It is not possible to combine line and fill - they have a noticeable offset.

The Rotary Setup in LightBurn is set up well - the test button rotates the roller exactly 360 degrees.
Machine settings:

  • Y Max rate (mm/min): 960
  • Y Accleration (mm/sec^2): 30

The cylindrical test item has a circumference of 274 mm.

For a better illustration - rectangles (1 × 5 mm)
offset 0 - 274mm - 548mm - 822mm - 1096mm - 0mm

I would be grateful for any ideas

I don’t have one of these, but I have my Ruida set to 5mm/s^2 for acceleration for the rotary. Do these have a ‘startup’ speed? I set that also in the single digits.

Make sure you make a backup…

I assume you have a wheel type rotary? If that’s the case, circumference isn’t needed…

Hi. Does anybody have a solution for this? I have the exact same problem with my R3 roller. Y+ runs perfect. Y- will offset around 3mm/ revolution. Tryed changing the the speed and acc settings but still have the same issue.

This is my second R3 roller. First one was sent back due to this issues but the new one has the same problem si i am sure it is not the roller. But some setting…
