Updated Jan 10,2025
Updated Jan 10,2025

Overview

This document addresses issues where engraved images appear mirrored or flipped when using the rotary attachment with S1. This problem is caused by an incorrect placement of the rotary attachment. Rotary attachment is designed to be placed in one specific orientation in S1, and any deviation from this orientation will result in flipped or mirrored engravings.
 

Troubleshooting procedure

#1 Verify correct rotary attachment placement

Check the motor orientation: Ensure the rotary attachment is positioned so that the motor is facing the top-right corner of S1. This is the only correct and officially recommended orientation. 

  • Correct orientation:
  • Incorrect orientations:


#2 Adjust image in xTool Creative Space (XCS) (If using alternative placement)

If, against the official recommendation, you choose to use the rotary attachment in a different orientation, you must manually adjust the image orientation in the XCS software. You can manually rotate the image in your design software by 90 or 180 degrees to compensate for the incorrect attachment placement.
