Do these 3 things and then retest:

1. home the laser
2. after homing, do not move the machine by hand, use jogging controls exclusively to move the laser head
3. change “start from” mode in Laser window to “Absolute Coords”

Retest. Do you still experience the issue? If not, always follow the first 2 rules. Stick to the 3rd until you’re well comfortable with your laser to experiment with the 3rd.

The cut settings are modified in the Cuts / Layers window. You pick the appropriate operation and speed/power settings for the desired effect.

To better get an understanding of the right settings for a given material I suggest you familiarize yourself with the Laser Tools->Material Test tool.

Furthermore I’d highly encourage you to review the Documentation to better understand LightBurn.

hi there I followed your steps and that works ok but my problem now is I think the x and y are flipped as say I laser a circle in bottom left when I do frame test its going to the right corner but also the image is flipped too any ideas what settings I need to change please

Take a full screenshot of LightBurn and post here. Also, can you confirm the model of your laser?

It sounds like you need to change your Origin in your ‘Device Settings’. You can find this setting by going to ‘Edit’ > ‘Device Settings’, or by clicking the wrench icon in your top menu bar.

The ‘Device Origin’ setting controls the orientation of what gets sent to your laser. If you have the origin for the device set incorrectly, your output will be mirrored or upside down when run.
