  • Mirrored Pattern

      Reset the origin in the software to match the actual mechanical home position of the machine. (As shown).     RDWorks         LightBurn      

  • Compressed/stretched pattern

      Restore the factory settings>> If this has failed, draw a 100×100mm square in the laser software. Set the engraver to cutting mode, power to 30%, and speed to 50mm/s. Fire the laser. Check if th...

  • Pattern stretched along X-axis

    If the pattern is stretched along the X-axis, access "Scanning Offset Adjust" and adjust as needed. For details, see "How to adjust scanning offset>>"

  • Low-resolution and sparse lines

      Adjust the DPI in the software (as shown).  

  • Line distortion when cutting

    Restore factory settings>> Set the cutting speed to be lower than 30mm/s. Fasten all three mirrors and the focal lens. Lower the value of "Start speed" and "Min Acc" either through RDworks or Ligh...

  • Start and end lines of the pattern not aligned

  • Inconsistent cutting depth

      If you are experiencing inconsistent cutting depth, please follow these steps:  Align the beam (refer to How to align the beam>>) Adjust the focal length according to the material’s data sheet i...

  • Parts of the pattern burnt (especially the corners)

      Find out the min. power setting for the material by trying different power settings.

  • Failure to cut a certain material of a certain thickness

      Seek the data sheet of the material and set the power to that value. If cutting is still impossible with the power set to the value on the date sheet, see "Weakened laser performance>>" to troubl...
