    Good morning. Today I installed a PLH3D-6W laser for my 1515 and everything is fine. However, when cutting, the laser, apart from the picture, also cuts the lines on which it moves. Does anyone have any idea how to get rid of this? Attached I am sending a picture so that you can see what it looks like. I use cam.openbuilds.com, the laser is connected to the blackbox.

    Have you looked through the code to see if the M3s (or M4s), M5s, and G0s are where they're supposed to be?

    Looks like you forgot to flip Laser Mode to enabled in Grbl Settings. See Grbl v1.1 Laser Mode · gnea/grbl Wiki

    I understand that I should select openbuilds CONTROL ON? However, if I am wrong, maybe someone would be nice to explain it to me step by step?

    Grbl Settings tab > Scroll down to Laser Mode > Dropdown to Enabled > Click Save at the top > Click Reset when prompted

    Is it the same as the picture? should I look for it elsewhere?

    You are on the Troubleshooting tab, not the Grbl Settings tab...

    I understand that if you follow your tips, the line cut will disappear as shown in the picture and there will be a clean cut? I don't have to set anything anymore?
