Thanks … I looked up the serial number online and it goes a brand called ORTUR? but there is no brand anywhere on the laser itself.
And nothing in the manual to explain it any better that I can see. Appreciate your help this far. I am surely getting the software … I like all its features!
And if they don’t get off their ARSE and reply to my support ticket … I might be buying another laser… #suggestions under 500
Hey Ron,
I’m currently in the same boat. Can connect, can jog, can send commands, but the laser doesn’t fire.
Is there any way to get a list of available commands of the machine from the console?
Also, on a side note, can you use the .bmp feature of the Mega Pro? Mine will only print the dinosaur it came with, it won’t laser any of my custom files, even though I stuck to the manual closely (bw bitmap, 1 bit only, windows format)…
No I can’t see anything through the console. I have TWO cards. One they didn’t even format or load? The first one I got I can only read the files from the computer. The Mega Pro does not see them. Nothing. IT’s probably going back soon.
There customer support is rock bottom as well. Nothing.
Hey Ron,
the Megas are a bit picky with the formatting of the card, try reformatting them in FAT32 for a test. Mine came with only one card, and it prints and reads the files that were on it just fine, but it won’t laser my own images
Their customer service is quite good usually, they sent me a replacement for the glass bed without any hassle. But they haven’t answered my question regarding the laser neither, unfortunately. It’s really stupid because I want to engrave my new ukulele but the laser doesn’t want to print my files
Thanks Wildfang,
I did and that didn’t do me any good.
If you here from them it will be good to get a fix. I’m guessing as stated here we need a “skooch” of Gcode to set it off.
I have exactly the same problem with my Mega Pro. Have also tried it with other laser software and nothing happens. I am on a mack but also tried it on PC. Mac light burn just crashes out and PC says not laser not responding then crashes if you try again. Its clearly an Anycubic issue, Lightburn looks so good Just wish it would work. Me to no reply from Anycubic support. Mine might be going back soon as the need to Cut vectors outweighs my 3D print needs.
Yeah, that doesn’t help because it doesn’t fire the laser. I looked at the code and it seems to be pretty standard Marlin, but that doesn’t tell me how the laser is connected to this machine or how it’s controlled.
Im assuming there would have to be something added to LB configuration to get those commands sent for the “fire” button, but it looks like all the settings are compiled dll’s
Yup - I’ll bookmark it and will have to make an AnyCubic profile that does the G6 commands. The G4 P0 is strange - you’re saying that the G6 commands are executed immediately, instead of being queued?
I been working on this idea to do a small picture. I started to change all of the M106 to G6, got as far as line 5000 the I realized there are over 70,000 lines of code, has to be a quicker way.
