Hi all
I have problem with laser making a mess since few weeks ago.
I am using Lightburn latest version 1.7.08
Ruida controller 445S.
It was working well until few weeks ago when started doing this for some reson.
Your profile says “Ortur”, which is a laser diode machine that would not use a Ruida controller. To judge from the pictures, it appears to be a CO₂ machine with a Ruida 6445S controller.
Is that correct?

The machine appears to have mechanical problems in the Y axis, most likely a loose setscrew in a motor coupling, probably hidden in the jackshaft across the front or back of the machine.
This test pattern helps identify mechanical problems:
Scale it to fit the platform and run it as fast as it will go in Line mode with optimizations turned off and power set to mark a sheet of cardboard. Any differences from the design will be informative; a photo will let us look over your shoulder.
Protip: Use cardboard / paper / whatever, rather than spendy stuff, until you’re certain you’ve found and fixed the problem.
