    I'm a complete newbie at this, your video has helped loads. But, I am having a homing issue. Whenever I press home, the laser goes to the left corner, which is fine, but then it makes a horrible and loud grinding sound like the laser is trying to go beyond where it can actually go. Any idea how to fix this so I can home correctly? I'm terrified I'm gonna break this machine.

    @ainttakenanyshit 3 дні тому

    How about this method.. Starting higher, start the burn and slowly lower the lens and when you FIRST notice an etched mark, note that distance. Then, lower the lens until the mark just disappears then slowly raise the lens back up until the mark just reappears. Take that measurement and the first measurement then split the difference as a "center distance" where the beam is most focused. This way you are finding the burn threshold as the lens is lowered(noting distance) and finding the burn threshold as the lens is raised(noting distance), then the average-middle-distance should be accurate?? Your thoughts on this "averaging" method please.... Thanks for your reply.... Hank

      It’s only wet for a short time and it says to dry it. It’s not things being submerged that causes rust, it’s humidity. When water and air mix. Leaving gunk on your laser would likely be worse, as dust attracts humidity from the air and that will be slightly acidic (this is how old paper turns yellow on the edges of books).

I thought something was wrong with my settings, so I checked. They were fine. So I ran another file, and it worked fine.

      Apparently, there is so something going on when using a certain image when copied from online. I can copy, paste, and trace in XTool Creative Space just fine and burn and cut with no problem. Lightburn may be picking up some type of code within the image. And somehow is being read as a command by Lightburn. Other people with the same problem solved it by exporting their project as an svg file and then running on XCS. I'm not going to repeat the problem for a ticket as the problem is very violent at times and slams the diode around to the edges off the laser bed at high speeds. So, use caution.

      @ainttakenanyshit 3 дні тому

      When you find the perfect lens focus, note that distance. Then under the galvo head there should be screws holding each of the two red pointing lasers. Loosen these screws and manually move that red laser pointer to dead center of the main - center laser beam. Repeat for the second red pointer and then ALL three dots will be centered. Gently tighten each of the two red pointers snug, not "head bolt" tight, but, secure firmly. See my suggested lens focus method above as I think it will give you a perfect focus by the "burn average" method.... Hank

Unless there was a firmware update that could have changed the value on the machine there shouldn't be anything that would switch it without manually editing it in LightBurn. Some manufacturers have a reset option in the firmware but if things are working as expected now I really wouldnt recommend poking around the firmware more than necessary.

Now take that same image and rotate it 90 degrees, move the once burned image in machine and rotate it 90 degrees also, match them up in alignment, would burning it that way create a better image due to the power dithered cross hatching? /EDIT oh, the software can do that, sort of with the scan angles... interesting. Will have to try both and see the difference, if any.
