All about remembering z height.when starting a cut.
I’ve set my origin and home fine on the machine itself and with tests and using luban I am able to move from origin to home and back lazer something and repeat.
However when using lightburn the first item placed does ok, it seems to remember the origin and home points from the machine, but for any subsequent lazering it looses the z height for the origin either not moving down or crashing into the origin point.
I can replicate this using lightburns move controls for home and then origin. (Loosing z) without doing a job just trying to move from home to origin. (Works first time after doing home by touchscreen on machine). But then doing the move back from origin to home in lightburn it goes awry. However if I go to my snapmaker and use its the onscreen home then move to home it is all correct again for one “move” to origin command from lightburn.
I’m using a Snapmaker A350 2.0 10W laser latest drivers, firmware and latest version of Lightburn. Is it a bug or am I missing something in lightburn?
I want to get it sorted so I can properly set calibrations and focus etc doing the test articles in lightburn to do slate coasters etc as the imaging engine in luban is a bit poor for greyscale.
Note I understand I can run Jobs direct on the machine using a USB version of files created on Lightburn but I really want to continue “streaming” via USB cable from PC to Snapmaker, the main reason is I’m running material tests to dial in settings for engraving and cuts so it’s useful to move the test images around the “workspace” in the software. It’s goodl to know for repetition/batch stuff in future I could just run the job directly on the Snapmaker by uploading or from a USB stick. Just frustrated as to why Lightburn won’t retain the Z setting from one moment to the next.
Help appreciated.
