Was told a few weeks ago that it would be implemented “Sooner rather than later” for the pen style rotary bed for fiber laser. Just wondering if there is news on when it might happen?
I am waiting on this as well but I just got mine up and running in less than 15min on LightBurn and it works great. If you need help let me know.
So, you figured out how to put in a name (single line) have it engrave it, spin 1 spot and do it again? If so then yes please let me know how you did this.
This is how I did it but there might be better/faster ways (Still very new to LightBurn). First I created a box the size of the cutout for the pen and made it centered (mine was 93.48×6.28) I then framed it and lined it up with the rotary slot then clamped rotary to table (it didn’t line up with any mounting holes but I have machinist step clamps. Also, make sure rotary is on otherwise it might jump and no be in alignment when you do power it on). Then turned off output for that layer. Now you can put whatever you want in that box or a pen sized box and array it Y Rows 24 (make sure to turn off “Ignore out of bounds shapes if possible” under settings) , Y Spacing 12.500 (300mm table size/24 slots in table). Set your rotary to Circumference of 300mm, steps per rotation on mine was 32,000 (12,800 per stepper driver settings×2.5ratio=32,000) The following settings might not be necessary but they worked for me, Split size 7mm, Overlap 0mm, Run whole shapes, if possible ON, Max Shape Size 7mm.
