Engraving skewed, cutting fine
Posted: Mon Apr 02, 2018 5:16 pm
Hi,
I have a 1309 machine that I recently replaced the X motor driver on. I typically only cut plastics, but I recently tried to engrave and I had a weird result.
The scan goes from *bad* (out of where it should be), to *good* (right where it should be).
-The issue is not exclusive to any software (tried 2 different versions of RDWorks and Lightburn Beta)
-it happens anywhere on the bed (not location based issue)
-It's consistent: RDworks scans from top to bottom and the issue shows at the top. LightBurn goes from bottom to top, so the issue is at the bottom.
-it's not file related: both test files were created in their respective editors (open software, new file, text tool)
-I tired adjusting the backlash settings and it just made errors appear; I have it set to 0
-I tried adjusting the 'reverse interval' settings; this made it no better
-I tried toggling the 'pwm rising edge' box; no luck.
-steppers have been calibrated: 100mm square measures 100mm square.
I feel like this might be a settings issue, but I'm not sure what it could be.
Any thoughts?
