Hi everyone, I’m trying to offset the torch from the holder to have better reach from the fixture we have made. The problem is that now when trying to cut a circle the torch is creating an oval, I tried re-calibrating the torch with the spacer but couldn’t cause the spacer offsets the torch 3” which is too far for the calibration triangle.

Can I fix this by spacing the triangle 3” away from the ArcDroid itself? Or can I do this on the Torch offset from the settings? I was trying to do this but it would be very off with any adjustment I made.

Yup, you can move the triangle anywhere as long as you keep it parallel to the machine.

There may be a mathematical limitation as how much the Droid can compensate between the stylus and torch positions. I know the offered pen mount is out a bit further than either torch or stylus. Apparently the included dongle that jacks into the stylus jack allows this but I don’t really know how it works. I don’t think relocating the calibration triangle will help your problem but worth a shot. Maybe try shortening up your extension or a temporary adjustable setup to find what may work.
