Hello.
I have a Ortur: Master 2 and I’m using LightBurn 1.7 as my format. I purchased my Ortur 3 years ago but never used it because I’m not computer savvy. I do a lot of woodworking, mostly flags and I have outsourced a company to make my laser engravings / cutouts. So to cut costs, I figured it’s about time I learn how to use this software and laser engraver.
Last night I engraved an image on a piece of Dpi tempered panel to test everything out. It came out fantastic. After that, I switched to quarter inch basswood plywood. I looked up the settings for plywood and made the adjustments. I’m running (in/mm/min) in my settings.
I went to the menu for material testing and everything worked fine when it’s engraving a test chart. However, when I insert an image, three things occurred.
-
my Ortur machine only moves on X axis, back and forth. Never in a Y axis.
-
the blue laser light is on but there is no laser cutting or engraving.
-
I also can’t seem to calibrate my x and y axis’ to my home starting point (left bottom corner).
Again, this only happens with imported images and fonts. Testing it appears to be fine. I watched the videos you provide and went on Google to ask how things are done and the issues still persist. What am I doing wrong and how do I correct these issues to ensure I can make the best quality items for my customers?
Thank you so much for your time and help.
Sincerely
Donald J Bozzi
