Rotary engraving problem
Posted: Sun Jan 22, 2012 2:25 pm
After seeing timogiles's engraved beer bottle viewtopic.php?f=4&t=909&p=8002#p8002
I had to have a go
But I can not seem to get the result I want
I am using Bart's rotary adaptor in my 2x laser with a thunder laser DSP
Pressing box on the dsp or cut box in phcad will outline the correct size but when I try to engrave the Y axis heavily compressed ?
I have tried searching for "engraving problems" but the search always ignores "engraving"
EDIT: my problem seems to come from the "current diameter" setting if I set this to the diameter of my bottle I get a hugely squashed image
The lowest I can set this is 10mm and my image is still slightly squashed ?
EDIT:2 I think I have solved this I just tried it with the rotary option turned off and it worked great
