I did not use my Laser Master 3 for about 3 months, so I ran the LightBurn update, but now the laser is doing… nothing. I am unsure if it’s because of a hardware problem, or because of the update. It seems all is working and responding fine, but there’s just no laser beam:
Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated
Thank you!
(some laser engravings are visible, but they’re from previous tests)
Please post a screenshot of your entire Lightburn screen with the Cuts/Layers Panel and Laser Panel visible. Also post a screenshot of the Settings Window (Gears icon) with the Units and Grids tab visible and post a screenshot of the Device Settings Window (Wrench and Screwdriver icon).
In the console, type $$ and hit enter. Look for the value of $30. It will probably be 1,000, but may be something else. If it’s anything other than 255, go to device settings and change s-value max to match the $30 setting.
Hello in the association. Today I did a Lightburn software update to 1.7.02, after turning on the machine it went to the home position and since then the software does not communicate with the engraver (Ortur laser master 3), when I put edit in the menu and the device settings it says only communication with the controller failed . Does anyone know how to deal with this? I tried restarting the machine, I tried to go back to version 1.7.01, nothing helped
PROBLEM FOUND: I just noticed the cable to the laser head wasn’t directed fully upward. Something must’ve hit it during storage and slightly bent it. I set the laser to work, played with the cable, and the green light came back on…
Big thanks to everybody trying to help. I’m going to figure out if I need a new cable or whether I can fix it with some tape (to keep it in the upright position).
