I am brand new to using a Speedy 300 which we recently purchased to upgrade from our Glowforge. I am running into some issues with the Speedy and I thought maybe somebody on here would know what to do. I was on the phone with Trotec support yesterday for 1.5hrs and they had me adjust some screws on a belt to try to prevent the Speedy from jumping lines. That's one of the problems I am facing. The second is smooth engraving. I have attached some images of test engravings I have done on leatherette which comes out typically full of "lines". However during one test half of the engraving came out very smooth. Does anybody have any suggestions as to how I can replicate the smooth engraving? I have spent two weekends testing different speeds, power and velocities. I also tried some different z offsets and i cannot figure out why these engravings are full of lines, and then sometimes half full of lines and half smooth. Any suggestions would be most appreciated.
Thank you.
