convert to curves

… Can you post a picture of your grbl settings. Start LaserGRBL and click
Connect.
Goto Grbl menu and click Grbl configuration. You should get a list of the
settings.
Post it here. You may need to calibrate the steps/mm for the Y axis.

Okay, thanks to your helpful post, I was able to calibrate the stepper motors to the proper measurement. Now, how do I convert to curves? |

Is this due to user error or software? |

Which format is the image you loaded, jpg, bmp, svg ..... |

The workaround is fine for this image, but for more advanced images, it seems to just dump all the interior outlines together at the bottom of the image. I don't have another example handy at the moment. |

Oh, sorry, it's a PNG. |

Strangely, watching the tool marker move in the laserGRBL window, it indeed appears to move up to the appropriate spot in the image to engrave the areas it actually puts at the bottom, and then the tool moves to the outline where it should continue from there. I wonder if I should post the g-code also. |

As far as the image goes it looks fine. Do you load the image in to lasergrbl as it is, or did you vectorize it in another app |

I vectorize in LaserGRBL. I just load it in as I shared it with you, and use the in app option. |

99% you have too high acceleration set in your grbl configuration. Read this guide: http://lasergrbl.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/Grbl-Configuration-ENG.pdf |

First, thank you (all of you). I appreciate your help. I have reduced the acceleration, as well as the overall speed. Also, this helped me fix the measurement calibration. I will try it again with the new settings this afternoon/evening and post the results back here. I cannot use my workshop right now. |

Hello,
I'm a new hobbyist, and I'm having some issues with this software and the machine I recently purchased. I don't think it has a brand name, but that's beside the issue. So, the laser works alright, more or less, except for when attempting to use the lasergrbl vector option. When I send an image as vector to the laser, all isolated elements that do not touch the outline get printed over each other at the bottom of the engraving area. Anything that is part of the outline gets engraved as intended, but if there is a cut out area apart from the outline, like for eyes as an example, those would get burned down at the bottom of the print area. It's almost as if there are no Y-axis values being passed to the board. I went into an image editor to create a work around by making a pass through to those areas so they'd not be cut off from the outline. Doing that works, but isn't ideal. A lot of complex images are off limits to me until I get this sorted.
Thanks in advance.
