@earlfurman T2Laser supports PLT (HPGL) format which is similar. It would not be that difficult to convert Turtle Graphics to G-code but you would still need a "sender" to get the code to the machine correctly. You could use T2Laser or something like GrblController for that but it wouldn't be an integrated solution.

What is the reason for wanting to use Turtle Graphics rather than draw in Inkscape (which can run python scripts) or a similar program and then export the result as DXF which can already be loaded and sent to the machine with T2Laser or other software?

@spareroom What software are you using? Have you tried T2Laser? (you need to reboot after using other software to free up the COM port but then it should work)

@christianlp If it isn't binding elsewhere then the problem must be the linear bearing, you can remove it from the way and see if it's repairable but don't lose the ball bearings.

@spareroom You need to configure the firmware for EleksDraw which is CoreXY and Servo mode and set the max value to 55 or less (in T2Laser this is a single click in the menu), if you didn't do these before connecting the servo it is probably damaged (cheap plastic gears get shredded almost immediately as it will over travel).

@ryan7373 T2Laser does both, drawing would be vector and engraving is raster or vector.

If you are switching between laser and servo (pen) you need to change the firmware parameters as the same output is used for both but the type of PWM signal is different. If you connect the servo while in laser mode it will over travel and can strip the gears (unless you replace the cheap servo with a metal gear version). Changing the firmware is accomplished in the Configure EleksMana menu, and setting the laser max to 55 will ensure if doesn't over travel.

I saw this many months ago, as I had the same question. Now I know. It is the mounting plate for the optional laser module. I was trying to mount the 2.5w laser module to the bearing housing for the pen module, but the holes did not line up. I am glad I did not throw this out. The aluminum laser module 'plate' mounts across this and the final assembly has a similar cross-like profile as the pen module. Now I have separate pen and laser assemblies I can trade out when needed.

After thinking about it for a bit, I just mounted it onto the board. Although it wouldn't be the same as in the picture, its still functional (even if there is going to be more weight on the servo without the standoff screw, potentially shortening its lifespan).

Initially I thought the standoff screws acted as something more than just stoppers, but I realised that I was wrong.

Same issue here. A fix would be great!

It worked before, so I'm a little surprised. The expected result was a write to the chip, followed by a flashing LED (blink test code). Maybe it has something to do with the fact that I moved Xcode to my external hdd, because I ran out of space. Now, since I think it uses Xcode, I moved it back to the applications folder on my mac. I installed Avrdude with Homebrew and also installed CrossPack. jiofi login https://forpc.onl

@DigiEddy That is very common, which is why my instructions say to keep the servo disconnected during firmware setup and configuration. It is because the PWM output for laser causes over rotation and strips the plastic gears, when switched to servo mode the PWM output is reduced and won't cause damage.

Yes I did and they are fine, I could disassemble the machine and check them out to see if they're damaged in any way but they're straight and they keep the right tension. I mean, I could disassemble and reassemble the machine completely just 'cause and see if anything changes.

Ho lo stesso identico problema.
Usando T2Laser funziona perfettamente.
Con EleksMaker CAM 3.1 non funziona niente.
