I’m having trouble registering or aligning my work material with the laser.
On my Onefinity CNC (or rather, in the Vcarve Pro software), I tell it the size of my material, and which corner is 0,0 (say, bottom left). Then I position the bit at 0,0 [,-0] and off it goes. I know just where it will cut.
But with the Atomstak X20 Pro and/or Lightburn, it doesn’t seem to work that way.
I position an image in Lightburn to a known x & y (is it bottom left, or based on center??) but when I have the laser to a contour pass, it’s off… usually bigger than my image.
Is there a consistent way to place material and the laser start point? I don’t have a laptop attached to the Atomstack, I’m just using it’s little hand-held unit. Would a laptop make placement easier?
Just for grins, I also put a “spoil board” fit tightly between the feet and had it burn a grid so I could see where the Atomstack though the mm measurements were.
Thanks!
