So, I just built and set up my A350 last night. I haven’t found a good way to make tool paths for what I want to make on the router, so I started with the laser module. I got it set up just fine, but as I start to work on my first project, I’ve been having issues with laser settings. First of all…

[image] How to switch between engraving and cutting? Snapmaker Luban In Luban, how does one determine that an SVG is going to be for cutting and another is only for engraving? I cannot find how to do that, I feel dumb…

Oho, I have more questions. So, even though I have my Snapmaker connected to wifi, and my computer connected to the same wifi, Luban cannot see the Snapmaker when I search for it? No matter how many times I refresh, it never ever shows up. I can put in the IP address for a manual search, but once…

Have you updated the firmware? V1.9 is the most stable. What version of Luban are you running? -S

I’m using 3.12.2 for Luban, and it looks like my SM is running 1.8.0.0

Upgrade your firmware to at least 1.9. I’m on 1.10.0. It has a bug where it sometimes gets stuck on 3D prints at 99% even though it’s finished. Only happens occasionally so doesn’t really bother me. Just have to cycle power. 1.10.1 had a bunch of little bugs and didn’t feel like trying to figure o…

In order to cut you will have to set it do multi-pass…also when you have loaded your gcode there are settings there where you can set the laser strength. I have the 1600 mW laser for my original SnapMaker and I am running most of my engravings at 50% power with my speed set to 1500 for no burning a…

3D printing, now. I made a model in Solid works, and exported it as an STL, but when I load it into Luban, it shows up in the object list, but there’s no visual representation of it. Also the number in the bottom right corner reads 0.0 x 0.0 x 0.0 mm. And when I try to generate G-code it gets hung…

Is the scaling way off? That can happen if it’s 30m instead of 30mm or something. Load your STL into https://www.viewstl.com/ and see if the model size looks right.

I will try that when I get home. I’ll also try downgrading Luban to the previous version. Failing that, I know people like to use Fusion 360 instead of Luban for CNC routing, and like to use Lightburn instead of Luban for lasers, is there a preferred software for 3D printing?

Cura is great. There’s others too.
