So I updated Lightburn to the latest and greatest. Upon firing up my machine and getting prepared to engrave… I always frame. It frames exactly what I want BUT, when I click start for the engraving, in the x-axis clicks the gears. It cycles down in Y-axis fine, but instead of dropping down in Y and beginning to cycle to “my right” into the project field, it goes left having to stop the project immediately to not strip gears… Any help on this?

      Heading in the wrong direction in LightBurn most often indicates that the Origin is incorrectly located.
Gently move the laser engrave head to the middle of the work area and open the Move window. In the move window set the distance to 30mm and the speed to 30mm/s (or 1800mm/minute). Test the four compass points around the house on the left of that window to confirm that LightBurn is using the correct origin for your engraver.
