Glowforge owner of a few weeks and everything was going great until yesterday. Printed a few small items yesterday until it started to go wonky. The GF is now printing doubles laterally.
To troubleshoot, I printed out Gift of Good measure (scaled down to fit scrap), but you can clearly see it’s printing double and it cannot execute perfect circles. You can also see in the GFUI that the resulting cut is very far off from the virtual placement.
I gave tried following the maintenance and cleaning all mirrors and lenses. The machine has probably seen less than 15hrs of run time as I only get to tinker with it outside of work hours and proud owner for only 3-4 weeks.
Thanks for the quick reply! Do you mind expanding on that? How/what should I adjust to fix a slipped drive? I hope it’s something I can fix myself, or would GF have to step in?
I’m so glad to see that the advice from our other community members got you back up and printing as expected. Thanks folks!
