Strange movement of laser GRBL

LightBurn Software Questions

:slight_smile: i there!
I’m new here and just bought a Iklestar TX laser wich is advertised it works with Lightburn, but cant make it work. The laser engraves with laserGRBl, but when i try to engrave even a text in Lightburn, it goes like crazy, more upwards than sideways and seems like it cant use both axis at the same time. I say that because circles looks like this.

I configured machine as GRBL, i set the Working area as 85x85mm. The positioning of elements seems to be correct, the shapes are cut where they appear on the screen.
Here i tried to engrave TOM, and my laser goes more upwards than sideways and it looks very strange.

If i try to cut straight lines, or squares it works well.
Hope you will understand what i mean and sorry for my bad english.
Thank you in advice!:slight_smile:

This may well be a licencing issue, as shown in the image below, did you purchase it directly from Lightburn ?

Best to email them support@lightburnsoftware.com

Yeah, i just realized that. I reinstalled it from lightburn activate trial and works just fine.
That version was installed pretty long time ago for learning the program. As the trial exprired i just took a “free” version from internet and i didn’t think that cause the problem. Now all works fine, and when i will find a bigger place to rent, i will clearly buy a bigger machine and the software❤️

Why not buy it now? Then you will be ready to design for the bigger machine.
