Ortur Z-axis Lifting Device

[vieracm (Craig M Viera)]

I’m about to install the subject lifting device onto my Ortur Laser Master 2 Pro, and I note in the assembly manual for the device that I may have to adjust the firmware parameters according to instructions using LaserGRBL software.

Problem: I’m using LightBurn software, and I’m not using LaserGRBL software.

Is there a set of instructions to check and adjust the recommended parameters using LightBurn.

Ortur Laser Master Pro 2 Upgraded Z-axis

Hi there, ive been using lightburn for a couple months and im still no expert so thats why im here, I brought the Z axis upgrade and was wanting to know is there any settings that need to be adjusted as I noticed I had to attach a spacer for the home stop switch to stop the laser head from going to far past zero? Im assuming you have to as the grid size is 400x400 but now the distance would be shortened going home. the laser head seems to have moved slightly out due to the depth of the new addit…

Installed the Z-axis Lifting Device following directions. Wrote a very simple macro through the Console with recommeded GCode supplied with the directions provided by Ortur:

$120=2000
$262=280

Everything is working fine.

Can I ask why you had to create a macro? Will the values revert back to its original setting?

I installed the aftermarket Ortur Z-axis Lifting Device to the original Ortur Laser Master 2 Pro. In the instructions, it states, “When Z-axis Lifting Device assembled, the mismatch of increased weight and acceleration may affect movement accuracy. Then, you need to adjust the firmware parameters according to the following instruction.”

$120 – X-axis acceleration – Recommended Parameters = between 1800 – 2000
$262 - Ortur Gshock Sensor Threshold - Recommended Parameters = 280

I cut many leather pieces and I find that the accuracy of the cuts is better after changing the original setting ($120 = 2200.000 and $262 = 290) to those recommended.

I also noted that sometimes the original firmware setting revert back, hence the macro.

Hope that explains the reason for the macro.

Have a nice day.
