Hello all!
Running MBP and pro 2.1.00 rc-9
OK so a NEW problem.. If i do a set laser position.. at the bottom of the work in LB and on the piece..OK in the correct place. NOW when I burn it.. it is on the other side of the piece?!??!
I have reset the machine and LB.. Burnt stuff yesterday…Any thoughts on what happened overnight? LOL
I have never had this happen before.
Thanks!
Post a screenshot (not a phone pic please) of your entire Lightburn screen with your project loaded and the laser window visible.
What exactly do you mean by set laser position? Assuming you’re using the Ruida controlled laser from your profile, you can set the origin from the controller.
I am not at the laser right now…
I mean the piece is in one spot. And the “finder “ is in the correct place on the actual piece.
Like this..
And it burns it here….
Is there a buffer.. IDK never seen this before..
Thanks for the help!!
Looks to me like you have an origin issue. Change to absolute coordinates and the lightburn workspace is a direct representation of your laser bed. This video may help your understanding of origins.
Yes I know about that… But, How can it be an origin issue when it switches height and orientation?
If I move the proof it does not change in the laser.
It is like the laser is “ stuck” in that program. It will not accept the “new changes from LB.. IDK how to describe it. I reset the laser power off the laser. same thing.
SIGH.. IDK…
I’m not exactly sure what you’re showing. Is the blue filled area what your machine is burning and the outline off the work area is your design?
Im using a Trocen controller and this happens to me (sometimes) when I have another laser program other than lightburn open. Normally I would just close the program I am not using and have to restart the laser and that clears it up. Not sure what other programs you have that may be open if any and how they could affect it.
Pay no attention to the outline.. the blue one is what we are looking at.
Hello,
Nope no other programs.
I’m still not sure what you’re showing. Post a picture of your results on the laser bed along with your Lightburn screen for the burn.
