Why this matters
If the overlay is locally warped, revisit lens calibration; if the whole overlay is consistently shifted/rotated/scaled, alignment is the stronger suspect.
Camera and rotary workflows add physical calibration assumptions; re-check alignment/diameter when hardware position changes.
How to think about it
Define the result you actually need, then confirm the active machine profile, units and operating mode before changing parameters.
Practical workflow
- Define the result you actually need, then confirm the active machine profile, units and operating mode before changing parameters.
- Change one meaningful variable at a time and use Preview/Frame or offline analysis before running a real job.
- If the issue repeats, keep evidence: Console output, a G-code sample, the exact settings used and material context. Evidence makes troubleshooting reproducible.
If the result is wrong
If the overlay is locally warped, revisit lens calibration; if the whole overlay is consistently shifted/rotated/scaled, alignment is the stronger suspect.
