Hi, im having a problem whith my laser machine, sometimes some objects i cut are displaced , and when it happends all the rest of the cutting is displaced, it is happening only in the x axis. thanks for your help

If it is repeatedly on the same place, it's something with your layout.
It it occurs randomly at different places, then you are loosing steps. This can have quite a few causes:
most common causes are too high accelerations or speeds for your motors.
but dents or dirt on your guiding (rail) can be a cause
The powersupply malfunctioning, a heated stepperdriver, bad contacts, a break in the cable etc etc..
You have to check it all...

I get similar things happening. I've opted to upgrade to a closed loop system. I had a fire in my laser anyway so decided to rebuild the x axis with closed loop. At least you can eliminate a few things then.
