We I’ve posted about this previously and haven’t had improvement or a solution, so I wanted to mention it again since it’s still happening to me, but the result is slightly different. It was previously a burr type of thing but now it’s a bit more smooth - but still an issue of not cutting all the way through smoothly and always in about the same place.
Whenever I cut a circle like the piece you see below, it always leaves an odd burr or rough place somewhere around the 9 o’clock to 10 o’clock position.
Today I even ran two passes on the outside cut. But the circle still took a small tap to fall out rather than falling out on its own - so there’s clearly an issue somewhere.
I would looking into adding a small lead-in and lead-out. This is an extra little path used in machining to eliminate this type of defect when cutting with a milling machine. Just make a couple of short tangent curves for your lead-in and lead-out and set them up as all one path and the laser should start at one end of the lead-in, run around the circle, and end with the lead-out. I haven’t tried it though, so YMMV.
A fix might be to rotate your art 90 degrees so at least the tick is at the bottom and is not visible when on display. I know its still a problem but at least you can create things you can use / present.
It happens on the Redsail. There’s even a setting to make it overshoot the end of the line to make sure it goes far enough to cut. You can get the same thing by overlapping a fraction of the curve with a duplicate (copy the original and then cut out an inch to drop on top of where the cut starts/stops).
Thanks again for letting us know about this. We’ve seen this, too, and the team is looking into it. Unfortunately, I don’t have any more information right now.
