While my guides should still work fine, making a new device as a snapmaker specifically for the rotary might be your best bet. Though I haven’t used the rotary in so long to test it.
Ok thanks. I will try out the snapmaker specific set-up now for the rotary.
Another query, has anyone managed to use the red guide laser with the 2w IR on light burn?
Trying to test the positioning for me will either mark the item by burning it or now be visible to see the laser to test positioning.
It seems as soon as that IR laser is visible on my item it marks it
I have setup a new device as Snapmaker Marlin for the rotary B axis. I can get the laser where I need and framed with the crosshair fine. When I try to start the job the timer runs but nothing happens.
Something I also noticed was the move-rotary buttons don’t drive the rotary axis, when I hover over with my mouse they say A axis even though the rotary setup has B axis enabled and tests fine
I thought as the rotary and Y axis moved for the framing the laser was going to actually work…
Ich habe eine A350 und bin genau nach Ihrer Anleitung gegangen. Der Gcode kann nicht stimmen, den bei mir fängt er in ca 30 cm Höhe an zu lasern. Wenigstens klappt die Verbindung, aber sonst eher enttäuschend. auch die Materialmessung passt nicht, immer andere Werte. Habe ich irgendetwas übersehen und wo muss ich den Z-Wert vom Laser eintragen. Die Anleitung ist so detailiert, aber es passt nichts obwohl ja unsere Laser die gleichen sind.
Ich benutze einen 10 W Laser. Ich habe keine Ahnung was hier falsch läuft und langsam am Verzweifeln. Seit Tagen plage ich mich mit dem Problem rum.
Da ich kein Deutsch spreche, muss ich einen Übersetzer verwenden. Ich habe jedoch eine aktuellere Anleitung, die leichter zu befolgen sein sollte.
Die Z-Höhe für den Start-G-Code des 10-W-Modells finden Sie hier.
Fragen können Sie gerne im aktualisierten Thread stellen. Ich werde versuchen, sie nach bestem Wissen und Gewissen zu beantworten.

I’m at your point. Did you get this working? I don’t need to control snapmaker with lightburn, i just need it to spit out a gcode that I can send to the machine where I can setup origin and height.
This is the guide you need for that. Keep in mind, this is untested with the “Marlin” or “Snapmaker” device profiles. I tend to stick with what I know works, so I haven’t tested either of those.
Perfect thanks so much! Now that I can see it will work I’m going to buy lightburn now. I used your 2022 method to prove it worked. when setting the origin with the red crosshair I had to reinput my offset in the machine or in lightburn, but not both.
I then tried with the Snapmaker (Marlin) profile and they have fixed most things. No post processing letter switching with the gcode needed. With the rotary you don’t have to mirror it in the settings. Select B axis. You don’t have to rotate the image at 90° anymore. It was just a test so I didn’t add anything to the Start and End gcodes but I will in the future. I want to try and do what you did with the origin setting with the rotary. The goal would be to just drag and drop the rotary gcode and it starts like your flat bat file.
Using the drag/drop would require my other, more complex guide. I know I need to revisit it and update it.
