Good morning. After 3 days of trying, searching I’m about to give up. I’m completely new to this. Bought Snapmaker 2.0 a250. It works on Marlin. After my research decided to use Lightburn software. Added the device. But… Location of my laser in Lightburn is wrong. First time I tried to move the laser to start the project burn it crashed into bed. It turns out that it got wrong coordinates. When I pres “get location” my laser according to Snapmaker Luban is in X-15.50, Y253.00, Z235.00. On Lightburn it shows X-141.50 Y122.90, Z 210.60. How to fix this/calibrate? Other thing is camera. On lightburn it doesn’t show my Snapmaker camera on laser module. On list it’s only my laptop webcam. Is it possible to enable Snapmaker camera? Sorry for probably stupid question, but I can’t find anywhere a solution for my issues. I installed driver CH340 from Snapmaker download section, and I’m using USB connection. Laser works OK on Luban, but Luban doesn’t work for me. Please help me, or direct me at least where I can find solution. Thank you
I can’t help with the Z axis movement, I’m not a Lightburn user but the Snapmaker camera connects via Bluetooth to the touchscreen, it won’t be seen by Lightburn.
Did you every solve this problem, I just had the same issue and figured it out. Let me know,
The difference is machine location vs work location. On Z, the difference is your laser focus height. It seems your laser focus height is 24.4mm. This means that at Z24.4 your laser is focused directly onto the bed, under this and you will crash into the bed.
I assume you’re using the 1.6W that came standard, since you know your laser focus height, you can follow my guide if you like to use Lightburn with a repeatable origin.
My latest guide, while specifically for the IR/40W, should work with any available laser, knowing your focus height is the most important.
In my guide, in the lightburn header you’ll put your Z210.6, which is Section II, step 4.
EDIT: Sorry for responding to the original poster, but I figured the info given to them could help @Shamalama
