Create a dot to align twice sides of the piece of wood?

Hi,

I often need to reverse my piece of wood to cut front and back side (same lines).
I use “print and cut” function to do that, but I’d like to use dots to align the 2 sides.
is there a way to create a dot (not a small circle, juste a dot).
I’d like to go through my piece of wood with 2 dots to align the laser on the back side of the piece.

There is maybe another way to do it right ?

thks :slight_smile:

Probably just make a square or circle really small. Or use line and make it 0.1mm long

yes, that exactly what I’m looking for

There is a ‘dot mode’ available. Might be usable for your application.

dot-mode

That’s an interesting option. Hadn’t heard of that before. But think this may be a Ruida only option. I don’t have it.

For some reason I though you had a Ruida… Sorry about that…

:smiley_cat:

Nothing to apologize for. It was just an observation from me and I wasn’t the one asking the original question anyway. Although I raised it because it didn’t look like Lionel C had a Ruida either.

In the move tab use the fire button and just increase the power.
I have done this to put a small reference point on wood.
I imagine you could just crank up the power to 95% and let it sit until it burns through if you need on both sides?
This is just for a dot.

Hi,

the fire button is cap to 20%. I already tried. May be is there an option to go to 100% but I don’t think so :slight_smile:

@Feyr Is what you’re trying to do dependent on print & cut in some specific way? I’m wondering if there’s a different way to approach the problem that wouldn’t require you to do this.

I just want to burn the 2 sides of the wood with the same visual.
Sometimes the laser doesn’t go through the wood in certains places.
When I flip the wood, I can flip the visual in lightburn and use print and cut to align and burn it.

If possible, I’d like to find something easier to cut the last remaining wood fibers, but print and cut seems to be the only way to do it.

Are you able to devise a jig that would allow you to reliably flip the piece and relocate it precisely? This would be less fuss than print & cut. And repeatable if you needed to this more than once.

I know you can tell it to burn at whatever power level, via gcode. Don’t know about how to time it’s duration. But you might look into that… had this bookmarked…
