Problem with engraving the correct height

mopkins69 · January 31, 2024, 9:05pm

I have a Two Trees laser frame (the original laser is a TTS, 12V 4A DC, Power: DB 5500S/DB5500/DB2500mW). I’m still using the original frame and motherboard (LTS ESP32). I replaced the laser with a Laser Tree LT-80W-AA-PRO (12V).

The only connection I had to make was plugging in the laser using the Axis connector. I create a name in LightBurn with the dimensions of 3.57 x 1.26 inches. When engrave this name, the width seems correct, but the height is about a quarter inch slanted. Sometimes it’s just a single line where you can’t make out what it says. Can someone help me? And was it worth it to trade out the lasers? I was hoping for a deeper cutting one.

Not sure what you mean by this.
Can you take picture of your project result?

Not really sure what the connector is called. I uploaded a picture of what I mean.

Here are a few pictures of what the output looks like.

Using same power supply?
Can you make a square say 50mm and see what it looks like?

Ok. I will try that now. And yes, it’s the same power supply. I’m still using the TwoTrees motherboard. There is one that came with the Laser Tree, but I wasn’t sure how to connect it.

Now it won’t engrave nor cut. I’ve uploaded a screenshot of my settings.

Got to go for couple hours, someone will likely step in and help.

Ok. Thank you for your help thus far.

To get deeper engraving:
Check focus length and then run more passes and or cross hatch.

This is great. I am getting it to engrave but the sizing is still a problem. The width of the image is fine, but the height is not. I looks squished and slanted.

Can you burn that square and show what it looks like.
