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:
- From the computer directly connected to the laser, open Lighburn.
- Go to Help - Camera Selection Help.
- 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).
- Carefully read everything in this window, it’s there to help ensure you get the correct camera for your laser.
- 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.
