Is auto alignment possible?

@MrTopcat

if there is an easier way?

Assuming:

• The printed targets match the LightBurn targets, so No scaling alignment works
• All the printed sheets are the same size
• The (visible) laser can turn On at a low power or there’s a red-dot pointer for invisible lasers

Then this technique is surprisingly fast:

• Use Position Laser to put the laser head at one LightBurn target
• Slide the sheet to put that printed target under the laser’s dot
• Use Position Laser to put the laser head at the other LightBurn target
• Slide the sheet to put the corresponding printed target under the laser’s dot
• Check that the first target is still aligned
• Iterate until satisfied
• Fire The Laser

I made a few hundred punched cards that way and it was much faster & easier than Print-and-Cut:
