Swiitol E18 Pro - Head crash in the side at start

Hello,

i have an brand new Swiitol E18 Pro. Iam new to Laser Engraving and Cutting.
With the Mobile App all works fine. But i want do the things a little bit better with lightburn.

i put the laser the position i want to start the engraving.
i start a frame and all looks fine.
if i start the engraving the head is moving to the left and crash to the frame, the endstop stops there with error.

Layer C00

ALARM:1

Harte Grenze ausgelöst. Die Maschinenposition geht wahrscheinlich durch plötzliches und sofortiges Anhalten verloren. Die Rückkehr zur Ausgangsposition wird dringend empfohlen.

Here a Short Video to the Problem
https://files.fm/u/s3p85am73e
Already tried different Start Types all the Same Problem.

Figured out that the Handy App still works perfekt, i just engraved a „Hello“
I have done the Same in Lightburn and startet and the Head is moving randomly over the Wood, Looks Like a „Stepp“ Thing is Not correct anythere

Same machine, probably from the same sale :wink:
I think I have the same or a similar problem.

My issue with a small “Hello”:

  1. Laserhead exceeding the originally shown Frame to the right by far, e.g. 30-40%
  2. “squiggly” lines that are 45° rotated to what I would expect - looks like modern art, but not text it was supposed to print - might be the same as you see. I’ll upload a pic shortly

In the video I think the thing you want to engrave is just much bigger than what I wanted to do, so for me “a little out of the frame”, e.g. 5cm is for you already a crash into the side wall.

Coming from 3D printing I would presume either the stepper settings are not correct, or the GCode flavour is not set up correctly…

In any case I would be happy about help as well.

By the way, is the Swiitol E18 Pro not very much identical to the Atomstack A24, just that I presume the Atomstack has 4x6W Lasers and our Swiitol has 3x6W??? or maybe binned lower power diodes with 4,5W.

Just saw your video, try this please:

  1. Enable the 2 blue options.
  2. Keep the green option.
  3. Home your laser.
    .
  4. Jog your laser with the arrows on the move window to where you have placed your engraving material.
  5. Select your shape, do a preview to confirm that´s what you want.
    .
  6. With your laser protection glasses on, click frame and check if everything is ok.
  7. Click start and confirm if all went well.
  8. Report back.

A good doc worth reading:
