New to the scene and after 4 hours searching the threads I haven't found anything related YET. I have only had my Laserpro Mercury for a few monthes but I like to think I'm quickly getting the hang of it. My new issue is a repeated laser burn at both the begining and the end of each pass. Hard to explain but i can simulate:
1 12345 1
/ ABCDE /
It would appear that whichever "dot" is intended to start a pass:
* is made prematurely appx. 1" in to the left
* is made accurately
*and is repeated appx. 1" to the right
My first thought was a mechanical problem within the X-axis but everything SEEMS to be in working order. Then I considered the X motor or X motor control board but no idea how to check either. Finally, I am considering the possibility of a software/driver issue. I have experimented with different modes, dpi, ppi and even corel X5 vs. Engravelab 8. The only factor that seems to affect it was speed. Appx 1" seperation at 100%s, 1/2" at 50%s, and none at 10% speed.
Anybody with any experience on this would be greatly appreciated. Doing business at 10% speed is killing me.
