I’m etching a raster on Dorian today, and even though my frame test fit entirely on the wood, the laser has twice moved to well outside the frame.
Any suggestions for debugging or possibly reseting Dorian or Lightburn to defaults? I have no idea where to start with this.
Thanks!
Reset both computer and laser. The computer is setup to reload to default settings when restarted. The laser if there is nothing wrong with it, will reset mechanically to original home points.
It stayed within the frame after a PC reboot. I am curious to know what might have caused this and whether there’s any danger to the honeycomb or other parts.
Well, you maybe on to something mentioning the honey comb. The cutting table or honeycomb last few times when i tried to adjust the leather i was cutting moved rather easy, so if by accident you moved the table after homing your project, everything would be off. The honey comb itself can only be damaged by the head if you activated the automatic focus and used the incorrect thickness of your material. I believe this option is completely dissabled. It can also be damaged by the operator during focusing, dropping heavy object on the table unevenly, having the table too high and driving the head across, and is possible during operation, that the head can catch a weight or clamp, drag it, and then the object gets caught on the table. But from the software alone i cannot envision how you could damage the table other than the autofocus which like i said has been disabled. The reset of the computer is nice, whomever took the time to do that, thank you! There are a couple of people that load their libraries and make them the default and the settings are not what people are used to, so that option is nice as otherwise you would have to learn the process of loading the library in Lightburn which is not hard but people are not familiar with it. Laser machines have been configured to reset mechanically and electronically (servo motors) for ease of trouble shooting and to reset the head when is out of position when by accident is driven into an object that takes it offtrack. On this instance some will autocorrect the position but the image will still be shifted over.
