Im very new to lasers and have just set up an extension kit (920x900mm) on my sculpfun pro max. Everything was working fine, however was having some problems with the tension on the belt on the x-axis. I tightened the x axis and all of a sudden my laser stopped firing although the light still comes on and machine will draw as normal. It has also started to draw everything in the top right hand corner although origin point is set to bottom left and can identify home position correctly.
Before, you used the small version of the laser? I highly recommend getting used to the small setup because the extension kit adds many external factors that influence the result. Plenty of mechanical issues can arise using the long belts and stuff.
Which light still comes up? Does the fan of the module still turn? Did you change any settings in LightBurn and firmware? For reference: Workspace extension kit - Diode Laser Wiki
If you point the module to a wall a few meters away, what does the shape look like? You can see how that shape should look like on this page: Guide to mechanical adjustments and maintenance
This is the one i have. Oh, yes youre correct. Mine isnt four lines. So now i need to attempt to unblock the laser of possible dirt or possibly i have a cracked lens?
First, I’d try to remove the air assist nozzle (and maybe the lens as well), and do the test again. If the image is still the same, then it’s neither the nozzle or lens blocking the beam. Then the module might be broken.
