WTF is going on here?

I am using an AtomStack A40 Pro. I have suddenly developed a problem with vertical lines showing up in the burn. (see picture) I have tried to correct with faster and slower speeds, higher and lower output levels and changing to a different layer. I cleaned the lens and the wheels and tracks. With no change. I have been using this machine for over a year and this just started yesterday. It appears to be in the darker areas. Here are two pics, one full shot and one macro of the affected area.

Try adjusting the line spacing, closer or more likely farther apart, and see if the pattern changes.

I tried that too. It does not get better until I get down to about .002" interval. I make too much product to wait for the machine that long.

I was using Light Burn version 1.7.03. I went back to v1.7.01 and it looks like the problem went away. I’ll update later if anything else comes up. Thanks for the ideas.
