Howdy all! I got my Ortur LM3 about a month ago. I set it up and ran an engraving test with the material test function, it went very smoothly. For a variety of reasons, I wasn’t able to use the machine for several weeks. Today I tried to run a cut test, but I had nothing but problems. First, LightBurn would no longer connect to my machine, so I deleted it and set it up again. Then, the material test had several issues. First, when I preview the test (using the default settings for a line cut), I see the following image:
From the YouTube videos I’ve watched, this is not normal. Even when I deselect “Show transversal moves,” I see the same thing. Second, why is it going to take 24 minutes to run the test?
Then, when I tried to run the test, the laser unit zips full speed from left to right, then the test shuts down. I don’t know if something is malfunctioning, or if there is a simple software error on my behalf. Since I’m new to this, I don’t know how to search for a solution. Thanks for your help!
