So… After a lot of testing… It’s been awhile since I’ve done a guide, and this one was a long time coming. This guide will allow you to do your entire project in Lightburn, and (if connected via USB) run it directly from Lightburn. Letting you skip Luban or using the USB drive entirely. A quick n…

[image] Skreelink: n Hi Skreelink… what is a “pull-off for homing”? my search of that term did not yield results except for your post here. Thanks!

When the machine homes, you’ll see it (normally) move quickly to the homing switch. Once it trips the switch the first time, it’ll pull the head back (or pull-off) and then move back into the switch again much slower for better accuracy. The faster you hit the switch, the more inertia the bed/toolh…

Hello, I installed latest firmware from snapmaker and trying the inline function in lightburn… basically testing with 10W. when I click on frame to check the boudaries, the laser doesn’t turn on. The tickbox is checked in the settings. Do you have same behaviour on your side? Thanks

I don’t use the framing function, nor a direct cable connection. Maybe input M3 S0 in the console first, then hit the framing button to make sure the laser is brought online.

I have my machine set up as a Marlin machine in Lightburn (USB). 40W unit, Move/Power @ 0.5%, Frame works with just the Frame button and also Frame +Shift. This works in both normal mode and dev mode on the touchscreen. Starting stream G00 G17 G40 G21 G54 G90 G1 X101 Y1F3000 I S1.3 G1 Y101 G1 …

@Skreelink in the newest firmware update there are som laser related changes - does any of this affect using Lightburn with Snapmaker? [image] Snapmaker 2.0 Firmware Updates and Downloads Update - Snapmaker2.0（3-in-1） Oct 25 2023: Snapmaker2_V1.18.0 Thank you…

They actually fixed up the firmware where the custom firmware is no longer required. So you can use the stock firmware with lightburn just fine.

Thanks for the quick reply! I thought that was the previous one, but I’m referring to this from todays release: M3/M4 Gcode update Support for M3/M4 to turn Trapizoid Power on or off (in Marlin definition). This differs from standard Marlin, which configures LASER_POWER_TRAP when compiling fir…

Oh, I missed that. Theoretically, those two changes should make it work better, as it’s closer to GRBL than before. I’ll have to test more to see if standard GRBL is better than GRBL-M3 and see if M4 actually works as it should. It should turn the laser power down when decelerating to keep from burn…

Which is better to use for the 40w laser marlin or GRBL also with this work for the Artisan Thanks
