2023-10-13I did a grid on mine, but found it less than useful. I eventually migrated over to the parts placement method I use now. I was using my rollers as a bottle support, but not rotating it. I needed a way to easily / quickly synchronize the laser position with the position of the drawing. This series of steps is my solution. Absolute Coords. Home machine if capable. Move to front-left, power up, and Set Origin if no homing switches. Never move by hand after power on. [1] Jog laser to CENTER of what you want to burn. [2] In Laser window, click “+Show Last Position” button. [3] In Workspace window, you should see a small red cross. [4] In Workspace (drawing) window, highlight (CTRL-A) your work. [5] Mouse to the center of your work, click and drag that center onto the top of the red cross. [6] You now have the physical locations of the laser and work aligned. [7] Frame should be pretty close to correct. If not, re-scale the drawing or move your part to be burned slightly, but do not move the laser or the drawing center. I found this method also allows to quickly relocate to unburned / uncut areas of the workpiece.
