Which camera to buy for my Laguna Laser MX

Well, I wanted to close this topic with an update after speaking to the tech support guys at Laguna. Lightburn actually makes it quite easy, once I found out how:

  1. From the computer directly connected to the laser, open Lighburn.
  2. Go to Help - Camera Selection Help.
  3. Enter your machine bed measurements. Note that the numbers will be displayed in whatever measurements you have your software set to use (mm or inches).
  4. Carefully read everything in this window, it’s there to help ensure you get the correct camera for your laser.
  5. Based on your machine dimensions and the minimum height, select the camera that best fits your machine. (see my actual example below)

My Example: The bed on my Laguna SmartShop LaserMX is roughly 24" x 36" or 609.6mm x 914mm. I’d recommend rounding your measurements to the nearest whole number or standard size. i.e: my actual bed size is 23 x 35. I just rounded up to the next standard measurement of 24 x 36.

The height from the work bed (in it’s highest position) is 32" or 812.8mm. I selected the 8MP Camera (4K-N) - 75 degree. I also added the mount for this camera.

I hope this helps anyone else who may be struggling with the instructions on Lightburns Store website. Don’t hesitate to reply if I can help.
