Anyone know what would cause these lines? First time playing around with photos, so I doubt I have my settings right for the best quality. Ignore the very bottom, as my first attempt, I forgot to make it a negative. I was using a HR head, which has a 2.5mm focus length. I did end up with a lot of crud built up on the bottom side after this.
It’s a white tile with matte black paint
What’s odd is I ran the same files/settings, just not a negative, on wood and it came it fine.
To me it looks like you missed some of your Y steps. So basically you end up with some of the lines double-burned because the laser head didn’t actually move front or back. Weird seeing that on Y instead of X to me too though.
Is X moving left-right and Y is up-down, or is the scan angle different?
It’s going to be hard to try to diagnose if it’s actually a hardware issue. Machine information may be beneficial, like whether the axis in question is belt or screw driven and what sort of speeds.
