im prepared to live with this "error" if its simply a case of processing power.. only chasing it in case its a simple tickbox correction somewhere

posted on 3dcadjewelery re this issue and got this response  (some few other jewellers have had same issue it seems, and all solve it by switching off toolpath display.

I have had this issue before! and yes, turning off the display window solves it.

But lets break it down a bit. nd I will give you WHY its doing it........

X Y and Z have a ratio of 10 to 1 (without the microstepping) so at a given speed in motor tuning, the stepper motor has to rotate at a certain RPM to reach your motor tuning speed. So to rotate that certain speed, the computer has to put out so many pulses.

The A axis gearing is MUCH MUCH higher. 72 t0 1 I believe. So the computer has to put out alot more pulses to reach the motor tuning speed. It is hogging processor power. And believe it or not there is quite a bit of processor power needed to also rotate the model in the toolpath screen. I have a p4 2.8 with 2 gigs of ram, and I still get that on large files.

any clues?

200mw laser cannot be delivered by the company i ordered it from because these lasers may not be supplied anymore due to some FDA laws just passed... they can supply the line lasers tho.

managed to find a 150mw one somewhere else. will do as well? ordered anyway?
