Hello I made a circle and drew a line through it and I tried to edit nodes using “t”. It didn’t do anything. Also, it doesn’t seem to allow me to add nodes to circle shapes.

Why do I have to flip everything Vertical to get it correct on the surface I am engraving?

The application of visible laser is very extensive. Some people even say that visible laser is a better light source than LED. However, the main difficulty in its development is how to select appropriate active layer, limiting layer material and corresponding growth process.We know that the 632.8nm He-Ne laser is widely used. He-Ne laser is a gas ...

I have Ortur LM2 Machine. I recently replaced the LU 1-4 module with a Comgrow 20w module. The new module is 63mm square and the LU 1-4 is about 40x42mm. I glued a protrusion on to the side of the new module to hit the x-axis homing switch and it works fine. I relocated the y-axis homing switch to the front rail of the Ortur. It works fine if the m...

Because i’m new to this world I make a lot of engrave and material tests. In Lightburn there is a built-in solution to make fast cut test. Thats cool, but I need the same test with filled squares for engrave test. Is it possible to force material test to fill the squares or any option to make fast engrave tests?

Hello I'm designing a CNC diode laser machine that can cut 16-Gauge stainless steel to earn my bachelor's at the university.Since Im new to this enviroment I would like to know how to calculate the power needed to cut that deep, I've searching this forum for answers but all I can find is people estimating 150-500W and not the actual formulas or par...

I have some 3/8 dia injection mold ejector pins that i need to square off the ends, and I would like to use my CNC to do this, so they are nice and flat on the end verses trying to do it on a bench grinder.Just curious if a standard 3/16 or 1/4 end mill would work since the pins are made with hardened steel.The list the material as H13 tool steel (...

Hi everyone, I have purchased a used Chinese laser recently and it has had one of its limit switches removed. Probably removed because it was broken. So I purchased a new proximity switch and replaced it. Now when I home the machine it slides to the right and when it activates the switch it just stops and gives me the error, hard limit prot. It doe...

My 40-50W co2 laser cuts 1/4" plywood and acrylic well at 50% but above 50%, the cuts get shallower as I increase the power. The current stays approximately proportional to the power setting, but the beam seems to get weeker. Is this normal or a sign of a partucular failure?The tube has less than 100 cutting hours, mostly at about 45%. I almost nev...

Aufero 2, Windows 10, Lightburn 1.3.01. Cutting 3mm plywood using 200mm/min at 100% power 2 passes, was not quite getting through the plywood completely. I decided to add a sub-layer at a higher speed (500mm/min at 80%) to “clean up” the cut. The sublayer did NOT align with the primary layer.
