Greetings! We are trying to move away from EZCad and test working with Lightburn, but we cannot create the same workspace as in EZCad. At the moment, we have a working solution in Lightburn that can perform marking in a static area (without moving the guide; the laser is mounted on the guide, the …

First of all, it’s important to note that the starting point is the 2 cm mark. The testing area is 220 mm. Y axis Start: [image] Finish: [image] Entire area: [image] Y axis is perfect. X axis Start: [image] Finish: [image] Entire area: [image] The ruler here is centered, so the…

[image] rsx2007: Y axis is perfect. Nice! [image] rsx2007: X axis [image] rsx2007: The ruler here is centered, so there’s a small 1 mm difference across this working area (22 cm). Did you adjust this by calibrating the Galvo scale in the Device Settings? From your image, I can…

Yes, and test mark of ruler is the result of marking AFTER calibration.

Was this measured before, or after calibration? [grafik] As far as I can tell, it’s almost a millimeter off.

On this image if you treat it from 1 to 23 cm → so yes 1 mm off, i mentioned that earlier: The ruler here is centered, so there’s a small 1 mm difference across this working area (22 cm). But 1mm for 230 is pretty much small in comparison with 1 mm per 10 mm (each repeat element) as you can see…

For your convenience, we increased this limit in the PreRelease candidate of an upcoming version: [image] LightBurn v2.0.05 RC2 Release Candidate Existing Feature Updates Increased galvo rotary size limits to 20 meters [image] LightBurn v2.0.05 RC2 Release Candidate …

It shouldn’t be too long before the aforementioned genuine “Split Marking” is publicly available. This should make setting up a linear table much easier, in contrast to the rotary function, which serves a different purpose.

Thank you! Then I’ll try to test the functionality today or tomorrow and provide you feedback.

I see the split for rotary is way over my biggest lens now as well. What is the difference between that and split marking?

Well, we tried to test it, but still we are limited to value of “steps per rotation”… Our motor got 1000 steps per 1 mm, it means for 5 meters we need 5000 * 1000 = 5 000 000. Sadly, but current limitation is 1 000 000…

Maximum range of working area for rotary working mode (or linear?)
