Hey there!
I’ve a new… discovery since two days now.
After turning the machine on, the head will go center to calibrate. That’s what happens normally.
Last two days, some strange things happened while calibrating.
On the way to the center, the head went a few centimeters back on it’s route, then again towards center, back a bit, then to the center.
Now calibrating.
Then to the left (like normal). Up, down (like normal).
Going back to null (like normal) but on it’s way again the back and forth move.
Arriving at null.
While doing the “new move”, the button lights up white for a second, sometimes even orange.
Is this a new routine while calibrating or is something off?
I’m so sorry to hear that you’ve been running into trouble! I’ve extracted the log files from your Glowforge, and it appears this behavior may be related to a lower than normal ambient/operating temperature being registered by your Glowforge.
Has this behavior continued to occur, or was it only during the cold you noticed in your workshop?
I also noticed that images your lid camera is taking are very dark. Are you noticing the LED lights on the lid activating when the lid is closed?
Thank you for the update and for sharing a video. From what I can see in the video, it looks like the LED strips are working correctly. Will you please let me know if your bed images improve after cleaning them with a Zeiss wipe or similar lens wipe?
