Can I get more Speed

Hi, I have recently bought myself an M2, Fantastic!
I have been using it to mark out some work that we plasma cut by hand (for aesthetic reasons) I have made a pen holder and it works well but it’s a bitvslow. Can I speed it up?

what feed rate are you currently using?

what pen holder are you using?

The Maslow 4 is about 3x the speed, but that’s a different machine

I’m not sure, I’m using easel to convert my dxf to gcoad, in easal I have set my feed to 2000 m/p but I don’t that changing my speed on the m2 or it’s just going as fast as it can.

I think that you are probably hitting the limit of how fast the machine can move. That’s one of the big reasons that I redesigned everything.
