Files 90 Degrees Off
Hello to all, new to the group and would like to ask for some help. Everything I’ve been doing has been with a diode laser and now have recently purchases a Haotian 5W UV Galvo laser. I am using Lightburn with the latest updated version. The learning curve is kind of steep but am having good results thus far. I have searched the group and have found several answers, but this one I cannot seem to find. The orientation of the file to the laser is 90 degrees off. The pics show what I have in the setting, what my screen and preview show, and then what comes up when I run the file. Any advice to fix this would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks, Joe
Hello Joe and welcome to the forum!
You will need to adjust your Galvo mirrors orientation here:
There are eight possible combinations with only one of them correct.
Engrave this design Galvo Orientation Calibration.lbrn2 (7.8 KB)
Look at the result and use this chart to find the correct combination:
You can watch this video explaining the process: https://youtu.be/x08cRPkyToc?si=Gwek-_KNvntymVMt&t=167
On that note: Did you import the config file from your manufacturer when you added your laser? This file should contain the values for the correct orientation and a few other important settings.
Thanks for the information and and tutorial references. It was very helpful and informative. Followed the instructions and now the problem is solved. Everything now works as planned.
Thanks again, Joe
