Hey, I know what you are going through. Trust me because I was in your shoes, so I am happy to help the next person. I too have a three wire / three phase stepper. I think these posts will help you:
Please, can someone help me understand what I’m looking at?
I set out to reverse the coil pairs on my rotary and was confronted with a very strange surprise. My 2 phase stepper motor only has three wires coming out of it.
I scratch my head and search everywhere trying to figure out the right way to reverse the direction / wiring.
I’ve applied a volt meter to the pins. I’ve read resistance. I’ve read voltage (while turning the chuck). No matter what two pins I measure, values are always the s…
So, when I work on my projects normally (when not using the Rotary), the orientation of the design as well as the output at the laser is fine (and matches).
But for over a year, when I do Rotary work I always have just rotated the design -90 degrees and then mirrored it so it would output properly to the object on the rotary.
For example, if I created this (normal orientation):

The result on the Rotary is this (90 degrees wrong / mirrored):
The Controller shows:

The outpu…
I got a new rotary, before the new one the laser alway printed left to right on the rotary. The new one is printing right to left. Where do I change this, I’m not in the mood to have to remember to swap used files around before running them. Thanks
