The line on the X-axis is shallower than the line on the Y-axis

I am engraving a square box-shaped ruler. The lines engrave lighter on the X-Axis than they do on the Y-Axis. They are all on the same layer with the same settings.
Why does this happen and how do I fix it?

      The spot from a diode laser is not square and will typically produce a darker mark / burn when moving parallel to its long axis.
      The specs for the 40 W laser head say this:
      Laser Spot 0.1*0.15mm
      That implies the long side of the spot is parallel to the Y axis, which agrees with your observation “lighter on the X-Axis than […] on the Y-Axis”.
      It’s inherent in the nature of the laser, so there’s no way to “fix” it. Basically, you must arrange your designs to either take advantage of the shape or minimize its effects.

        • : Thanks a lot for your time and advises! I asked the new module from AtomStack team within warranty, waiting for an answer.
