Cant get laser to do anything

i have a ortur laser master 3 and i am getting
G-code motion target exceeds machine travel. Machine position safely retained. Alarm may be unlocked. (Right-click the ‘Devices’ button to reset the connection)

On or near line 2:

ok

Basically, the G code command is telling the machine to [1] go farther than the settings in the $130,$131,$132 machine parameters or [2] the machine is being told to go the wrong way.

This says it was a software check by GRBL alarm and not an actual motion overtravel error.

Is it possible you have items outside your designated work area that are not visible? Do a CTRL-A (select all) and see if the corner blocks are completely inside your table area.

this is what i get

it works in laser grbl but not in lightburn

Print out the G code from both and compare it. I am pretty sure you will see why Lightburn is not giving you what you expect. If you still do not see it, paste the first 10-15 lines of G code from each (be sure to label each) into a text file and also include the $130, $131, and $132 parameters. Then upload the file to here.
