Hi, how does one analyze their power supply?Forgive me for this general open question. I’m still trying to learn about diode lasers and their quirks. I’ve searched the internet for days for a way to check if my power supply is fast enough and strong enough. So I decided to ask a question here. I would like to know if there are tests/pro...

I have a new xTool D1 Pro with the optional 1064nm infrared laser. I need it for laser engraving (technically, laser foaming) on ABS plastic. The xTool Creative Space software worked pretty well on my very first attempt. Sadly, the Creative Space software text function is not Unicode compliant which I need for this application, so I’m trying ...

I just received my Atomstack P9 M50. In Lightburn, when I click the arrow buttons the laser head is moving the wrong way in relation to the button that I click. Right arrow moves down, down arrow moves left, etc…I changed the origin several times and it’s still not helping. Can anyone help me figure this out?

Today I am trying Lightburn for the first time and have encountered something I am not clear about…I have designed an object and cut it… But every time it doesn’t cut all the way through, so I have to keep coming back to the study and changing settings (speed and passes) and still can’t get there.Since my computer...

HiI have switched from diode to co2. I have many projects saved where the settings are mm/min for the diode. When I open these in the new c02 laser the speeds are still in mm/min . Is there a way to change the settings when reopening in the co2 version.Many thanks

I’m a new user, just installed an OMTech 130w CO2 running Lightburn on Mac Ventura via USB. All cutting is reversed along X axis no matter what I try. I’ve changed the origin in Device settings to each of the 4 corners but the cut is still reversed. Today I actually had the cut match the Lightburn screen but the machine control panel wa...

Similar problems here when trying to etch a ceramic tile…Attached the project file, gcode and photo of result.The extra thick lines near the centre were where the laser stopped the first time.
