Text on Path Problem

LightBurn Hardware Compatibility Ortur Lasers
1

Hi,
I’m using an Ortur LM2. I want to engrave text on the outside border of a 12" round Lazy Susan. I’m using User Origin in the center position. I set the starting point to the center of the Lazy Susan circle. I select all of the text and all of the template lines/circles. I hit the circle frame button but the laser does not go to the position where the engraving is positioned in Lightburn. Here is what the console says:

ALARM:3

Reset while in motion. Grbl cannot guarantee position. Lost steps are likely. Re-homing is highly recommended.

Does anyone have a solution for me?

Change job origin to the center circle as shown with the red dot here:

Thanks but that is where I had it originally. Did not work. But I’ll try again.
And once again, no joy.

Can you send a screenshot of your whole application with the job setup?

Is this what you wanted to see?
Can you try the lbn file on you setup to see if it me or the file? Thanks.

Do you see how your green square is higher than the center? Can you reset your user origin or change Start From to current position?

Also, is there a reason why you can’t do this from Absolute Coords? That typically makes these things easier.

I won’t be able to run your job with the sames issues since my setup would be different.

I’m looking at the .lbrn file more carefully. I didn’t realize the orange circle was a tool layer.

Change the orange to be a regular layer. This will allow the job origin to account for the circle in determining position. Once you do that the green square should show centered to the circle.

Wow! You are absolutely correct. Thanks so much for the help.

Merry Christmas!!

You’re welcome. Take care.
