It appears to cut vectors correctly (I will test that more in the morning).
I do not know if the issue is in the software or hardware but I don't think I made any changes that would make this happen.
Attached 3 images that hopefully help explain my issue. The pics are the file i am trying to engrave, the result i am currently getting (I stopped the job mid way because it was obviously not correct) and the result that I have gotten in the past, engraved correctly.
If your advice is to not buy a cheap Chinese laser then please don't bother posting.
Thanks
