Hahaha... Thats my Aussie/US accent getting in the way. I should have said "Deeee...caaaaaaallllllsssss!" Decals! Glad that didn't get in the way and you were able to get another way to use Print and Cut in Lightburn. What will use use the P&C workflow to make with your laser?
This is great! I'm looking into this to cut out sublimation material that my cricut can't cut out. Hopefully I will be able to use my diode laser to do this as I don't have an accurate laser pointer on my CO2 laser.
Awesome! Make sure you come and share what you create with us on Facebook. The link is in the description. What are you planing to make first with print and cut?
I wanted to engrave some USB-Sticks with a selfmade Jig using this feature. I did everything exactly the same but my engraving was totally off. It wasn't centered on the USB but placed in the lower left corner even tough my file was perfectly centered... Do you have any idea what this could have caused?
Hi KG, glad you found us. Yes, you can place the Print and Cut markers on the tool layer. It's totally up to you. I have found that sometimes when setting up a job, I might not get the results I was planing for. By keeping the markers on the cut layer, I have an instant reference if the results were due to an error when lightning up my laser to the marker, or if something had changed with the layout of the graphics. In the end, how you set up your projects is totally your call. There is no wrong answer if you get the result you want! :) What are you using the Print and Cut feature to create with your laser?
becuase there are only 2 registration marks rather then 3 - am i right that this doesnt allow for any accidental rotation of the part placed in the laser cutter - it has to be parallel to the travel of the gantry??
Hi Adrian, No issues with rotation on the part at all. As long as you have the two registration points lined up correctly, you can orientate your workpiece any way you like and still get a perfect cut. If you're worried about misalignment, try a test piece once you have the basics dialled in :) Print and Cut is very versatile.
