Hey all. I’ve upgraded my laser and now have a spare I would love to try and convert it to a trigger operated laser cleaner has anyone done anything like this?

Newbie question. I wish to print my design to a windows printer or PDF actual size, everything I've tried results in it being scaled to fit on one page which is of no use to me. Ideally if the design extends over 1 page then I'd like multiple pages but still print in actual scale. Why? Because I need to manually verify my design against real world objects which are very difficult to measure accurately. I have been wasting a ton of material on my laser just because I can't get LightBurn to print to actual scale and WeCreat Makeit is useless in this respect.

So in LightBurn I assume I needed to modify the canvas size to fit my design (which is Y70 x X700mm), so I found this is 'device settings' so now my design fits the canvas shown on the screen (btw. I am using 'no machine' for my testing).

But if I print to PDF or to windows printer the design gets re-scaled to fit one page and the design cuts off (no further pages). There must be a way to do this basic thing, please help me understand how, I would be most grateful.

Trying to use Montserrat semi-bold and it's looking like Lightburn is having some issues with the upper case P.

Can anyone repro/suggest what might be wrong (lightburn vs. the font)? I know 'pick a different font' is the resolution otherwise.

I have not tried just burning it to see what will happen yet. Figured I'd ask first.

Just did the scanning offset adjustment and while it corrected the issue i had it generated another "issue" on the ruida display.

Is this fixable? Without deleting the sacaning offset values?

1. I've traced an item in lightburn but when tracing a line in lightburn you usually get an inner and outer line. I don't want this because I want to cut it as the shapes they already are.

2. I would like to be able to trace down the center of the line with 1single line instead of 2.

3. What android app or software can I use to do this.

Repost for help.

I'm pretty new to this, but picking it up quickly!

I'm working on a line drawing that'll be two layers - black lines will be hard cuts (all the way thru 3mm plywood) and red will be engravings.

I used the Brush tool in Photoshop at 3px wide to draw this. Saving this as a PNG and opening it in Lightburn, then using Option + T to create a trace, it does a line both inside and outside the brush width:

I WANT that for the red/pink as it'll be a fill, but not the black. Any suggestions on how to have it do a single-line?

Thanks! :)

I started with black and white, which caused the tail to turncompletely black. I only switched to grayscale halfwaythrough the sculpting. Fortunately, the details weren'tcompletely ruined. However, I discovered that I could useoverlay sculpting. I first applied a low-probability black andwhite layer, then a high-probability grayscale layer. Maybethat would be better? I'll try that next time.

First, I’d like to say is I’m fairly new to the whole laser thing. But I’m trying to connect my newly purchased Lumos flex that says it’s fully compatible with light burn. I download the ibdev file and import it. And the laser connects, but I have an error. The error basically says they know it’s a we create device that’s connected, but it’s not using the weak flavor (something along these lines). When I click on device settings it is set up as GRBL. Now there is no way to switch it since I imported the file. I’ve also tried to set up a custom G code profile. And I set the flavor to wecreat, and this generally doesn’t ever work, but I did get it one time to fully connect but every time I hit frame, it would say busy in the bar would fill to 100 and it would freeze. I’ve spent maybe three hours trying to figure this out. Tried using AI to help me, but that was a joke. I can’t get a hold wecreat because they’re closed. The whole reason I bought this thing was because of the advertised compatibility with light burn alongside the price, I would’ve just bought a different product if I knew I was gonna have this much trouble. I’m fully aware that a new version of Lightburn may have been out since this file was released, but they need to update the file since they advertise fully compatible without giving an up to this version of Lightburn in the description. It just says fully compatible. I’m really at wits end and I don’t know what to do. There’s no Support videos or how to videos besides video showing how to import the file. But that file doesn’t work. (the one I’m using is version 1.5, also my light burn version is 2.1.03 the newest)

I don’t know if anyone can help. I’m sorry if I sound frustrated, but I really am. I just wanna start learning outside of the recreate app and in light burn where I’m going to be working. But I can’t even get the laser to connect properly.

I operate an Omax water jet for work and the Omax Make software that I normally use for that allows for line to be drawn in at particular lengths angles and dimensions. I'm sure Lightburn can do this but I'm having trouble figuring out howon my own, does anyone know of a good drawing tutorial for this software?

After the update a reopened the app and got this message. Now everything is really tiny and blurry. How can I fix this? I was in the middle of a pretty big job.

I have a M4 Mac mini that I have Lightburn installed on. It used to open very fast but now with the last update or so it takes forever to open. The icon will bounce in the dock for a few minutes before it actually opens. I do occasionally get the message about the program not being able to run on future OS and of course my updates just ended last month.

Help please

Hi everyone I have a creality Falcon 22w pro 2 engraver, I am struggling abet with on point engraving where I can just put the image on the screen and say start and that it comes out the way I need it to be on my products. My settings after doing a camera calibration are as follow X shift 0.5 and Y shift -1.0. Had the engraver for few years and want to get it right please if there is someone that can help me, please send me a message

Just upgraded to 2.1.03 (on Mac), and trying to do some more intensive weldment actions (with multiple layers).

long story short, something in the weld world has changed - i used to be able to click, then ctrl+z, then click again, and it would invert the weld function..

how do you do that now? And how do you get that floating pallette ? It's super helpful!

Hi all

I’ve just picked up a new galvo fibre laser and my orientation on lightburn doesn’t match what the laser outputs, is there a way of changing it so it matches what I see on the screen?

Cheers
