Skewed engraving

Post by LarsS »

Hello, Two weeks ago I bought a new ray5 10w, but there is something wrong with the positioning system and my engravings are all skewed (se attached images).

the problem seems to accelerate since the first print only was slightly skewed (only some mm) but the most recent engraving has a difference of 8 mm on a 100 mm engraving height!

I use LighBurn.

What could cause this problem? Is there something I can do to fix it (I have controlled the tention of the belts)?

Appreciate all input

It’s a long shot but perhaps check the tightness of the grub screws on the pulley / coupling of your X Axis.
