7. Rješavanje problema

Ovaj odjeljak obrađuje uobičajene probleme s kojima se možete susresti tijekom rada.

• Laser Head Moves Out of Bounds: If the laser head attempts to move beyond the working area, manually position the laser head to the desired starting point. Use the 'Frame' function in your software (e.g., LightBurn) to verify the working area and design fit before initiating the engraving process. Ensure your design is scaled correctly for the 30x30cm area.
• Uređaj se ne povezuje s računalom: Verify that the USB cable is securely connected to both the engraver and your computer. Ensure the engraver is powered on. Check if the correct drivers are installed for your operating system and software. Try a different USB port or cable.
• Loša kvaliteta graviranja/rezanja:
  • Fokus: Ensure the laser is properly focused on the material surface. An out-of-focus laser will produce blurry or weak results.
  • Parametri: Adjust laser power, speed, and number of passes in your software. Different materials require different settings.
  • Materijal: Ensure the material is suitable for laser engraving/cutting and is clean and flat.
  • Čistoća leće: A dirty laser lens can significantly reduce laser power and quality. Clean the lens as described in the Maintenance section.
• Stroj ne reagira: Power cycle the engraver (turn it off, wait a few seconds, then turn it back on). Restart your computer and engraving software.
