Is there any progress on this?
Laser startup is still totally erratic, as you can see from the following test-cut; I indicated cutting direction and sequence of the squares:
I think that the laser module is broken, would you please help us to get this working or confirm that it just works this way and not any better?
Btw, in order to rule out other possible causes I tried to
- tried to keep the laser turned on when moving between squares (with pwm rates from 20-120)
- Use a higher-rated power supply
- added an 470uF/16V Elko parallel to the dust fan (there is no stabilizing capacitor near the power supply, only at the motor drivers)
- changed to the second PWM output (ruling out a faulty Mosfet)
None of the changes could resolve the issue.
If the LaserBot should be able to print full rectangles, can I exchange the laser module?
P.S. hereâs the GCode:
