I hope this is a good place to put this. I’ve been annoyed at the print and cut process within LB. My laser isn’t 1000% square, so doing large jobs and only having 2 points didn’t correct the skew. I couldn’t find anyone or anything close to what I wanted, so I made my own!
With the help of AI (sorry), I was able to build an app, works outside of LB but then imports back as lbrn2 file. This is just like you find on those $30k machines from Aeon and some others. I spent about $60 in parts, 3d printed my bracket, and some AI coding.
I now have a true print and cut feature. I print 4 randomly placed circles, point the camera to the first one and it will auto find the rest and adjust the cut for skew and scale. I’m now able to draw a .25pt stroke line if I want on my files and it will cut directly on that line! Down to under .05mm accuracy!
I’m pumped! I just got this working today and have done multiple sheets already and freaking love it! It’s saved me 5+ mins per sheet trying to setup the old print and cut, but it’s also made my cuts more professional now that they will all be uniform and accurate.
This was built for windows
It does require Python and some other items to be installed
It works for Ruida controllers (I know for sure Thunder)
I will not support it, but I do have a manual on how to use.
I will take suggestions but unless it’s something I need or want, I doubt I’ll build it in as I don’t have a way to test or don’t need it.
If interested in trying or using, feel free to reach out, I’ll get it online for download
