Xtool d1 with R2 Rotary issues

LightBurn Hardware Compatibility xTool
1

Hello Team,
I have an xTool D1 and their R2 rotary tool. I just recently started using Lightburn 1.2. I’ve confirmed my firmware is up to date per the laserbox software. The issue I’m having is while using the rotary tool I can’t seem to find a proper configuration. I’ve tried multiple settings from various posts and I’m still having issues. When doing the test functionality within the app it turns and turns and never goes back to start. Then when burning the image gets stretched across the entire surface which results in weird lines. I’ve attached screenshots of settings,and pictures of the results.

Did you review the instructions on the xTool site?

They have different parameters than what you’ve shown.

The diameter is greater than 17mm… on this object. Nevertheless it’s not right.

I don’t know how these are set up. If the ‘test’ doesn’t work properly it probably won’t get acceptable results.

Step/rotation are generally the issue.

Lightburn says you have to change the firmware off the XTool website. There is a place to do this but I can’t find it right now. I have been trying to change mine but not having success at all. Now Xtool says I have to download their XCS program and that Xtool won’t work with Lightburn Not sure what is going on because I used Lightburn for a few months but now its not working properly because I updated the firmware. Very frustrating and at this point won’t recommend either Lightburn or xtool to anyone as I’m losing money because I can’t get things working.
