I am new to laser burning, and this is first “large” project I have tried. My neje master 2 started the project then about 4 minutes into it, just stopped burning. I tried the “preview start from here button” but the message said the laser was busy. whats happening?
I got it working again. I tried just stop, then went and used preview suggestion and it started again. Not sure why it stops tho?
GCode devices stopping are usually from USB connectivity issues. If you turn your volume up in Windows you might hear the ‘ding’ from plugging in a USB device. If you hear that, either the computer or the laser dropped the connection. This can be caused by:
- USB port going to sleep (look up ‘Selective Suspend’ in Windows)
- USB connection dropping because the connection is loose or bumped
- Electrical noise in the connection (poor quality cable or no shielding in the cable)
- Static build up in the machine (no grounding is common for these)
- The power supply for the machine not keeping up with the laser being on 100% for extended periods
Check those things to see if any of them might be happening.
Volume is up, and checked other items. nothing has changed since I used LB last. I moved project to Neje program and it is doing fine. I don’t use 100% power, as I’m new to lasers and try to be careful. I love LB, just this glitch is bothering.
