LS3020 cutting oversized

Post by paul3020 »

Hi,

I have a LS3020 using Newlydraw 1.5 and have just noticed that my cut pieces are coming out oversize (as I am now cutting larger objects).

To try and test this I have cut a couple of rectangles in each axis to see the error and which axes are effected:
- In the X axis I cut a rectangle 250mm by 10mm and the longest edge is 252mm.
- In the Y axis I cut a rectangle 180mm by 10mm and the longest edge is ~181.5mm

To me this sounds like a software scaling issue, but I haven't played with the default settings (to my knowledge anyway) so it seams strange.

Any advice on what settings I should be checking?

Thanks

I have just been experimenting and found that the H.DPI and V.DPI settings are the ones which control this. This on from File>Engrave>Prop(button) on the device tab.

This started at 1016 and I have calculated it should be around 1003 from my machines behavior.

Could anyone else with a LS3020 please tell me what settings they have for the H.DPI and V.DPI settings?

Thanks

I can't remember from when I had mine but there is this post that may help.

If I remember right you can backup a file called EngraveLOC.ini in the ND program folder and copy over the original from the disk which will restore the factory settings.

Cheers
