|---|---|
| The Thunder Laser screen is showing Frame Slop Error | Frame Slop means that you are trying to engrave/cut too close to the laser's X or Y limits. The honeycomb bed is larger than the actual cutting area in the Y direction (front to back). You can't run the laser on the back 1.5 inches of the honeycomb in the Y direction. In the X direction (left to right) the machine overshoots the edges of your design so it can slow down before coming back on the next pass. To do this, it needs at least 1cm of space between the edge of your design and the machine's X limit to slow down. |
