Hi everyone,
I’m using a Sculpfun S40 Pro Max with a Chuck Rotary. Everything seems correct:
Problem: When I start a job, the laser and chuck move to the wrong position, completely offset from where I set the origin. Framing looks fine, but engraving is misplaced.
Has anyone experienced this? Could it be a firmware, rotary setting, or hardware issue?
Thanks!
Show your entire Lightburn screen with your project loaded and ready to send, then also show your rotary settings. (not a phone pic please)
Where? But start with showing the screenshot, as Tim mentioned.
I’m not seeing an obvious problem here except, when I select mirror rotary, my origin position changes by the size of the engraving. See the green origin position in my screenshots. Not sure what it means as that’s not my workflow. I don’t need to mirror anything.
Without mirror enabled, the situation is the same, I did everything. Very strange situation. I remove the pointer offset that was enabled in machine settings and then the laser starts engrave closer to the frame, but it’s not enough.
You can see also, I lost two days with this problem…
It’s a learning curve, sometimes it takes hours to learn something, sometimes it takes weeks.
Turn off mirroring. If it is mirrored, turn the rotary by 180 degrees.
Since you mentioned the offset, did you enable the fire function? You can only use one, either pointer offset or fire function, not both.
Is there an offset in the Cut Settings window?
I understand, what the problem is, but dont know how to fix it. The laser start engrave, where the fire blue point is, not in the frame teritory.

Here’s some instructions i wrote on how to use the chuck. This may help
This is a word doc so change the extension from txt to docx.
Also i noticed you have commas instead of periods in all your settings. That doesn’t seem right but may have something to do with your machine or cimputer. ie 182,00 instead of 182.00

You mean that I should watch the blue light, not the frame one
I am pretty sure there is no separate framing light on your laser. When Framing, these settings are used to turn on the laser beam (blue light). I set my diode lasers at about 0.2% power for good visibility.
That is correct
It depends on how you set it up. You can only use one. Turn off the offset and only use the beam. That should work best.
