Recover from Ruida "no enough extend space" error

So I am engraving a large image into a special piece of wood, using my BOSS 1420. I get one chance. After much testing on scraps, I pulled the trigger on the final cut, at a speedy 300mm/s.

Turns out, the Ruida might wait until it’s approaching y=0 to throw the dreaded error.

D’oh!

Recover:

  1. Don’t touch the piece. Leave it right where it is.
  2. Lock your image in LB so you won’t accidentally move it.
  3. Crop the image in LB.
  4. Check the Frame on the laser.

Repeat 3,4 until you’re happy.

  1. Cut speed and power both in half.
  2. Don’t forget to move assign your cropping rectangle to a layer that will not output.

Resume the cut.

Voila!
