  @tempest You can further reduce the values by manually editing parameters $120 (X) or $121 (Y) and probably also reduce maximum feed rate for the axis. I recommend you also use Dynamic Laser Power as with low acceleration the start and stop will have more burn without this feature.

  Say you are using Y axis for the rotary, you would use debug mode and type these commands (examples):

  $111=800
  $121=20

  @farmerpig I've had no problems using 1.1 with the Eleks Mana boards, perhaps your boot loader is corrupt in which case you just need to reload using Arduino IDE.

  Re: Engraved Glass
  According to this beautiful picture i am doing something similar with my glass laser etching machine so after finishing will send some pictures.

  @wduensing No. The COM port would not show up in device manager if the Nano were bad. This sounds like a software issue, you can use my T2Laser free trial to test it (no need to change any firmware or settings, just connect to the COM port using default values).

  @hami Correct. 1/16th microstepping is going to be smoothest but also the lowest torque. Full mode would have maximum torque but is very rough stepping. Resolution and feed rates are also considerations but this also varies depending on the drive mechanism (e.g. ballscrews improve performance but cost more and may need higher torque).

  This is usually caused by backlash (a symptom of loose belts), circles are a good way to check for backlash as typically the ends will not connect if you have this issue. T2Laser includes an option to disable bi-directonal mode which is another good way to check if backlash is the problem, as when the laser always scans left to right it will effectively mask the issue.

  @Djack Search the forum, this is a documented bug that many people have discussed. You either need to run the patch or use different software. T2Laser is newer and supported, it runs on Grbl 1.1 which has many improvements to your machine.

  @heedaf EleksEgg works perfectly with T2Laser although I will say after making a bunch of custom golf balls with sharpie markers it's been put away and not used since. You could probably just use the trial (if you don't want to support me by registering) as the 10,000 line G-code limit for raster and 1,000 line for vector is probably enough for such a small machine.

  I have fully assembled the clock, but it won't turn on at all. I have tried switching the LED cable from the left to the right without any luck. The LED on the PCB is a solid blue. Any suggestions?

  @Kis-Gellért Unless you require the old firmware for some reason (like CoreXY machine or servo support) I recommend using my Grbl 1.1e DEFAULT as it is more reliable and provides faster / smoother motion control and allows more features in T2Laser to work (axis calibration, rotary mode, home switches, dynamic laser power and real time overrides etc).

  @Kevin-Harte That's impossible, T2Laser sends G-code to the USB port. It can't damage your machine.

  I looked at the gcode tool but all of the inkscape versions are different.
  Has anyone gone through this in Linux and have some hints?

  Thanks.
