I started with Laser GRBL and it had an option (looks like a light bulb) to show where your beam is. Does Lightburn have a similar feature?
You are talking about the âfireâ laser feature. Yes, lightburn has it.
If you have a diode laser, and need to turn it on at low power to focus it, LightBurn has a setting for this. First, in Edit â Device Settings, click the âEnable Laser Fire Buttonâ shown here in the lower right: [image] . Then quit, and restart LightBurn. In the Move window, youâll find the Fire button and the power setting at the lower right: [image] . Set the power just high enough for you to see the laser when you enable the Fire button
I have the Atomstack, I set my fire button to 0.01 I had to enter the value manually, the up down selectors do not allow you to go this low at least in my case. And this is plenty bright.
Youâll need to clean the laser surround often or it will get harder to see. You might need to jog it a bit for brighter days/homeoffice settings. To frame, donât forget âhold+shiftâ
I forgot that I have the shroud off my laser. I installed safety shielding from J-Tech 100% on my door and install glasses on my face when I open the door.
