X and Y axis cuts

Hello all,

I noticed that all of my cuts along the X axis are thin and precise and Y cuts are thick and smudgy. Please refer to the image attached

As I am new to the laser world, can anyone help me point out if it’s the issue of the lens/machine calibration or is there something we can do in the Lightburn?

Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Diode laser ?

This is most often an artifact caused by the shape of the dot.

To confirm this we need to know more about the laser you’re using.

Sorry, I should have included the machine details.
I am using 100w CO2 laser with rudia controller, 900*600

Have you checked that your nozzle is exactly 90 degrees vertically, in both directions?
It could also be a smudge on the lens…
