Random Letters Missing During Laser Cut – Only Works Fine One Letter at a Time

[ednisley]

@MarcoC

encountered this before

For a Ruida controller, this is almost certainly due to a communication problem causing a loss of commands & data between the Mac and the controller.

If the machine is connected to the Mac through a USB cable, then this is definitely a communication problem.

Although you can try a known-good / high quality USB cable, using the controller’s Ethernet connection is generally the best way out. The doc covers the basics:

Cut off on tokens

I make 2" tokens using version 1.7.08 and cutting goes well, The engraving always stops somewhere while engraving. The engraving is well within the circle, but will quit halfway through a word or skip a word entirely (see picture). It doesn’t matter what it says on the token it just stops. If I’m engraving something larger, say 4"X 5"+ it’s never an issue. [BlurBar] All help appreciated Folkhero
