I have had the trial version of Lightburn since yesterday. I have set the “laser control commands” to M03 / M05. That also works quite well. Only somehow only with “offset filling”. With “Filling”, where he goes through the individual lines, the M05, which switches off the laser, is always missing. Does anyone have any idea why this might be? In the preview it is shown as if it would turn off, but after exporting it does not.
As can be seen, M03 (switches the laser on) keeps coming, but never M05 to switch off. If I do it like that, in the end I just get a black, even surface, but don’t keep the engraving I wanted, because the laser doesn’t go out where it shouldn’t shine.
With “offset filling” it works. That’s why I’ve engraved everything with it until now. So there the laser goes out where it should. The file also contains M05.
If it’s filling is normal than it does at full power, or at least at power you choose for filling, is true he does not shut off laser but M3 S0 is similar to M5.
M3 S255 put laser at full power, M3 S0 pratically turn off beam.
Ok, thanks. I thought the same after my message. But my Laser is still at the same power at M03 S255 or M03 S0.
I have to write M2 S1000 manually in front of the exportet file. If not, the laser will not go on. The S1000 is the Power that my laser takes. That goas from 0 (0% Power) -1000 (100% Power). The laser is from that on always the same power no matter what stand after M03. Can you tell me why?
Thanks, but i dont know how to change this value. In The 3D-Printer itselv i cant change that i think. There are no properties.
And it dont go off on M03 S0, so that will not work if I set this to 1000 anyway i think.
