My x steps mm ($100)
My y steps mm ($101)
Would this cause my circles to look like lemons
Trying hard to figure why svg don’t work properly
but PNG do

Hello Laura,
The standard default $100 and $101 should be 80
Having Rotary mode could also cause the problem
However - given that images engrave well and vectors don’t, high probability is a belt tension issue on the Y Axis
Try engraving this file and post a picture please

Ok so as you can see you have a issue on your hardware
The Y axis movements are not correct
Did you check your belts, and the Y axis sprocket?
So not sure how to do this🙃
Take a couple images of your laser - some upclose images of your belts so we can take a look please

The belts look loose so you have to loosen the 2 small nuts and PULL tight on the belts, on both sides of the belts. This might be a task that someone helping would really make it easier.
The belts must be flat and tight
Hi, I am sharing a video reference to aid you better. The portion from 2:00 to 3:18 shows how assembly the belts, it is a similar procedure to tighten them also.

As @gilaraujo rightly mentioned for the Y axis:
- Use an Allen key to loosen the two T shaped boat nuts at the back of the laser module and remove boat nuts by sliding them.
- Pull the belt to stretch it such that the belts are flat and do not form loops or waves
- while stretching the belt insert the two T shaped boat nuts back into the frame and tighten them using an Allen Key.
- Do this for both belts on either sides and your Y axis is now sorted.
Let me know if you need help with the X axis as well.
Thank you so much tightening fixed it
