I'm running a heavily modified K40 with Smoothie and LaserWeb3.

The gcode I’m going to post (since it’s the last test I ran) is for these little star Wars icons, just to give you reference.

Actually, disregard. That one was done at 300/300. Let me try one at 400/200.

@K1111 I am running Smoothie 4x, on firmware-cnc.bin (although haven’t updated recently so I might need to check my version later to compare).

I’ve got an Azteeg X5 Mini on the latest CNC. Here’s a photo of something I just engraved at 400/200. I’ll post the gcode for this.

They remind me of ringing you see in 3D printing when acceleration is set too high.

I think @Ariel_Yahni_UniKpty has the azteeg also? Might be good if someone with an azteeg can test too. I’ll test on smoothie later in the day :slight_smile:

Have you tried bringing acceleration down?

@Ariel_Yahni_UniKpty If by acceleration you mean the default feeds at the top of the config file, yes. As low as 4k as high as 20k. No effect.

I’m trying to install LW3 on my Windows10 machine to rule out some weirdness with the Mac. I get everything installed but when I run server.js I get this popup. Does anyone know what it means?

@K1111 ​ this are feed and seek rate. Further down the config is acceleration

Node server

Under #Planner Module Configuration? What do you have yours set to? Mine is the default 5000.

The file is now called server.js. At least that’s what I gleaned from a previous post and that’s what’s in my LaserWeb3 folder.

@K1111 you need to call the node.exe parsing it the server.js… so the command is node server.js

Ahhh! I understand now. Thank you!

I really need to take the time to learn more than the bare minimum as far as that side of things go.

@K1111 Somewhat majority of this stuff goes over my head, so glad to be able to impart what little I do understand.

@K1111 ​ there is an executable file that was build and I also can build one for OSX. But I need to update it

I think acceleration default is 3000.i don’t. Have the file with me
