While no one likes running into issues with their laser, knowing how to properly diagnose them when they arise ensures minimal downtime.
GRBL is the most common firmware used for laser cutters, and there are handful of errors we see reported pretty frequently — in the coming weeks and months, we’ll be releasing videos on fixing these common errors.
First up is Alarm 2, an error given when your machine is sent a travel move that will send it out of bounds (or it at least thinks it will be).
We cover the various situations that can trigger the error, and the steps you can take to resolve them.
