Hi guys.
I was having some issies with my fiber really stretching past the edge of letter when doing a rotary engraving, 3mm tall letters. After quote a bit of research I started messing with my start/stop settings.
Here's the issue. I was getting no real change when changing each TC setting in EZCAD. I decided to try some really high numbers to measire what changed. Long story short, in order to get it looking right I had to make the End TC setting 5,000(!). That seems VERY high. Every reference I've found people aren't higher than 600 on their settings. All of my other start/stop (laser on, laser off, polygon) are around 200 with minimal chang on increase.
In the photo you will see best in the M and the A. The bottom one is at End TC 5,000 and it's almost completely fine. The one right above is at 2,000 and the 3rd one up is at 800 and you can see it was very bad. Lines stretching almost to the next letter.
My question is: is this a concern to have to need this setting this high? Is this masking a different problem?
Edit: maybe this is an issue with doing hatching on a rotary because it isn't a problem I normally have. For reference I'm using the rotarymark plugin and I've also tried splitmark2.
Basically if someone tells me "hey if it takes 5,000 to work on a rotary that's fine" but I don't want to be masking a different issue or causing problems in other areas by having that setting that high. Any advice will be greatly appreciated.
