Mar 15,2023I believe, scan offset is to fire the laser sooner or later. One laser may fire quickly while another may take longer… they need to fire at the right time. I think it gets used to correct for mechanical backlash on a lot of these… :thinking: My machine will run at least 1650mm/s, fun, but relatively not much use. I would think yours should run 500mm/s, but I don’t know… And, yes the numbers are rather large… Here is an old screenshot… you can see mine are a bit smaller…
: I had something mechanical (belt) cause the shift above 350mm/s…I think @600mm/s it was around 0.04 or 5… These belts are timing belts for engines and are designed to go one direction… we are using them kind of off label. When I put a better belt in mine, I got better results… It was also a different drive system… It’s still back to mechanics… at least I’d start there.
