First Post - Galvo 20W Fiber Laser - Problems scale and mirroring, Evaluating LightBurn Trial

LightBurn Software Questions

Hi,
I was using EZ-CAD2 and had lots of crashes and problems importing vector files, etc. I have Lightburn working but the scale is off and the log Im trying to mark is reversed.

  1. Is there a universal config file where I can set a scale factor for all work?
  2. How can I prevent mirroring of the logo Im trying to mark?

Thanks!!!

The second point, did you check this:

About point 1 I know there is specific options in the “Import/Export” Lightburn window settings for InkScape and Illustrator Software, but I don´t know if that as any influence to EZ-CAD2 files to be useful for you.

From what you describe, I would guess that you did not import the markcfg7 file from EZCad when you configured LightBurn. That file contains all of the config info from EZCad as to which Galvo is X and Y, which would correct the mirrored output, as well as the lens config, which would correct your scale factor. You can simply edit the config for your galvo and add that Markcfg7 file into the config, which should correct your issues.

You might be right. Indeed, when you do an installation, there a par of options to select related to that.
Good point. :+1:
