Rotary Axis Guide¶
This guide will walk you through setting up and operating the rotary axis using Due Studio. You will also find essential tips to ensure high-quality results for your projects.
Installation and Setup¶
To begin, place the rotary axis inside the front section of your machine.
Ensure the connection cable is properly plugged in and screwed into the specific port (indicated by the signal input).
Once the hardware is installed, all movement controls and engraving parameters are managed directly within the Due Studio interface.
Pro Tips for Best Results¶
- Use High Resolution: Always opt for high-resolution settings. This significantly improves the finish and detail of engravings on curved surfaces.
- Locking the Motors: Objects with uneven weight (such as a mug with a handle) may rotate unexpectedly. It is best practice to lock the motors via software after positioning your object.
- Power Parameters: If you are working with a new material, start with low power settings. It is safer to run a second pass than to risk damaging the object.
- Glass Engraving: Ensure the surface is thoroughly cleaned with alcohol. Since glass is sensitive to temperature changes, using low power is crucial to prevent cracking.
- Handling Irregular Shapes: For standard cylinders, use the diameter. For tapered objects (like traditional cups), measure the circumference of the specific engraving area to avoid distortion.
