Hey @norman and Tested crew, if you really do welcome forum folks’ requests, I have a test that I would love to see you run.
[If you prefer a particular method of bringing a request to your attention, please do let us know.]
There has been much discussion regarding registration, precision, and coordinates in this thread: XY home position
My question for you is can you figure out how to get to the exact center of an item.
The test: Take a circular material, whether proofgrade or anything else. Using any tools you can, get the Glowforge to cut a hole dead center. Use that hole to put in an axle (dowel, pencil, whatever) and then spin up the “wheel” to see whether that hole really is centered. Several iterations are ok, but figure out how close you can get to center, and what process seems to work best.
Anyone with suggestions to make it a better test, I’m way open to that.
I would accept the results as where GlowForge is Now, rather than What to expect ultimately.
