Quality Problems with Engravings

when I do engravings everything which is on the left side of the Bed is about twice as much burned as everything on the right side.

I understand that this must have to do with the alignment of the laser beam,
but I do not get the beam to land in the middle of the Head on each corner, there is a little offset of about 1mm, and couldn't get it any lower.

I bought the 1st Gerbil from Kickstarter with the extra Lens for the K40.
Does the Laser Beam need to be on the exact Center of the Lens?

 

Hi Mario, this is probably related to a skewed bed. Also if you replace the tube alignments can be off. The best way is to align from the first mirror, then the second mirror in top left corner position, then Y axis middle to bottom and finally the x axis alignment. This process can take a few hours to do. The beam does not have to go exactly thru the middle of the lens.

Cheers, Paul awesome.tech
