Setting Up Your Z Axis On The Two Trees Ts2 10 Watt Laser Engraver

In this video, I am going to go over how to setup the Z axis for the two trees laser engraver. It is basically the same for any laser that uses a stepper motor for the Z axis. There are two ways that you can do it. The first is having the Z Axis Drop down and run at the same level the entire time or, you can have it where it drops on each pass when doing multiple passes for a cut. Both ways have their benefits. What most people may find the most beneficial is it can autofocus to get you the best focus distance before each engraving.

Hi I have recently bought a TwoTrees TS2 and was having difficulty in understanding how to set the z axis untill see your video. Great video, very well presented and thank you for sharing.

I am glad it helped.

I'm finding that when I use autofocus for cutting, it leaves the probe right on top of the material. Which then drags along.. if there's any imperfections, it sticks into the material. Almost feels like thee should be an extra height offset. In your example (2mm cut), the probe comes quite a way back up.. I don't know why mine is different... I'm using the official settings. (TS2 20W)

There is something wrong with your setting. If the probe is dragging it is to low. I believe the offset for engraving is 7mm. You can then change the micros to a max of -6mm. If you you set it any more than that the probe will drag.
