The halves were coming out different sizes.
So I scored 1mm acrylic with a different sized rectangles to see how they compared with my 100mm rectangle that I calibrated the "pulse unit" with.
100mm rectangle on Lasercut comes out 100mm
So I thought to try other sizes and drew rectangles of the following sizes in LaserCut and scored them in acrylic at low power .
25mm came out 24.62
50mm came out 49.53mm
100mm is right on at 100mm just like I calibrated it.
150mm came out 150.40mm
There is some kind of non-linear scaling going on but I cannot figure it out. Anyone else have a problem like this?
Am I going crazy? Did I forget something? Another Calibration setting?
I have always calibrated at 100mm and assumed that any differences in pieces were the result of Kerf or bad focus but this is worse or I didn't check properly before.
Anyone got any ideas on this one?
