Good day, I'm new to Lightburn and my fiber laser so please excuse me if my question seems basic to you. I see that you are engraving a tumbler that is the same size from top to bottom. But most tumblers lets say taper from wider to smaller. Is there a min max variation in material thickness that we should consider to get a clean engrave? I thank you for your time.
Hello! I’m using a ComMarker B4 20W engraver with Lightburn, and recently I encountered a connection error while engraving in 3D on brass. The issue occurred while engraving a 3D relief pattern with the following settings: speed 6000, frequency 45kHz, power 90%, line spacing 0.0254, image mode set to 3D Sliced, and 150 passes. After about 6 hours of engraving, a connection error occurred. I paused for a while and resumed engraving, but the previously engraved pattern disappeared. Then, after about 1 hour, the connection error happened again. Is there any solution to this problem? And is there a way to resume the engraving from where it stopped? I would greatly appreciate your help in finding a solution. If you need further assistance with refining the details or want to send this in a specific context, feel free to ask!
When I frame, the laser uses cutting power. Even when the dot is stationary it uses the cutting power %. Is there a way to program it to frame at a lower speed? I know with GRBL there is but can't find anything similar for GALVO.
Backing up settings in lightburn has saved me today. When we got our machine last February the first thing we did was back up factory settings on the controller. Today that saved my bacon!
excellent video! One question: If I have 2 different diameters on the same part that need engraving, and an engraver with a powered z axis can Lightburn combine the two into a single job?
Brilliant video. I ordered the parts from Amazon UK except the T-nuts that they couldn't supply in the correct size (thank you Ebay). Fitted the switches to my S9 with no problem. Wired in with an extension on the x axis and fired it up. Checked the position, setup the macro and pressed the home button. Got an error message telling me to move the y axis switch by 1.5mm. Nudged it up the channel a little and did it all again. Perfect!!!! Turned the laser and computer off, turned it all back on again and put $$ in the console. New values are still in the machine - seems they are using some type of flash memory now, the firmware doesn't need to be changed each time. Still have the macro just in case. Thank you guys, don't know how I lived without the limit switches before. This process was so straight forward and I learnt a lot about GRBL at the same time. Now playing with print and cut - another good video and even better written instructions.
Thank you for the feedback and great to hear you are up and running with limit switches. It really makes a huge difference and is required for specific modes/features.
I've been having trouble with this feature and tried finding the solution through lightburn's forum, without luck. Already tried reinstalling it also. Is there another fix?
@@LaurentiuVasiliu-z8w - I’d suggest reaching out to support@lightburnalftware.com. We’ll need screen shots and config information and there’s no way for you to provide that in RU-vid comments.
Actually..... The more I think about it.... I did build a function once for this purpose.. then our workflow changed and it was no longer necessary and I forgot about it. 😂
@@lightburnsoftware7189 well I was following along and noticed something so I thought I would ask a question to the lightburn people. Didnt realize you only answered questions that pertained exactly to the video.
@@dragonshoarddesign3094 - Just go to the website and download the new version directly from there. There was a bug in the 1.5.01 version in the update check.
