Does anyone know why I'm get wavy lines instead of straight lines when raster

Does anyone know why I’m get wavy lines instead of straight lines when raster engraving?
3mm MDF 150mm/sec 2mA also tried reducing speed to 100mm/sec

Inkscape and K40 Whisperer

Probably still too fast.

Loose belt

Is it the same if you engrave a single circle? If not, then it should be a software issue :wink:

Disregard my comment. I agree with @Ariel_Yahni_UniKpty — you very likely have (at least) one loose belt, because that definitely looks like backlash.

@SirGeekALot @Ariel_Yahni_UniKpty and or timing pullys set screw could be loose.

Fyi, My timing pulleys do not have any grub screws… what a shameful design :frowning:

Update

I’ve tried several things with no success. I’ve also had the whole frame out because I couldn’t find out how to adjust the belt tensions. I now know how. I don’t want to teach you to suck eggs, but let me know if you want me to tell you. I have learned that the frame is not square or level and I will address that over the next couple of days and let you know how I get on …phew!

@Duncan_Caine you have learned what “most” do. Still it’s important that the info is continuously shared with the community
