I have recently had to change computers and with the new one my laser illuminates but does not print the design. I have focused my laser and verified all my settings with the old computer.
This is generally caused by one of the following:
- You are inadvertently using different units between old and new machine and not converting your values accordingly. Make sure you’re using the expected units and the appropriate values relative to those units. Diode lasers typically are specified in mm/min.
- Assuming this is a GRBL machine your “S Value Max” setting is incorrect on the new machine. S Value Max should match the value of $30 in Edit->Machine Settings.
I have verified $30 is matched. Measurements set to mm/min. The only thing that changed is the computer I am using.
Please provide the following:
- Full screenshot of LightBurn with design loaded and Cut settings showing
- Screenshot of Edit->Device Settings
- Run in Console and return full output:
$I
$$
$#
?
It is now fixed and working. I reset my s-max and $30. Cleaned the lens and lowered the laser on the z-axis. Thank you for your assistance.
