  • New to working with laser engravers - have design I have imported through LightBurn that works fine on flat surface but will not work with rotary - appears to be cutting but make only a single light at the top. I stopped it after 13 minutes. Have watched and rewatched many videos but now do not know how to address this issue.

  • I’m using the latest version of lightburn and an xtool d1 pro. For whatever reason, if i try to cut or burn larger shapes, they always become distorted. If I do something say 200x200mm, it measures out exactly and is fine. I’ve done some searching but suspect the terms i’m using are incorrect thus not getting a lot of possible sol...

  • Hello,I’m importing vectors from my cnc software but when I try to engrave the vectors with Line Mode, the laser output is very weak, even at 100%. Fill output on vector engraving is good and so is picture engraving. Is vector line engraving weak on purpose in LightBurn?

  • Hi,new here but using Lightburn for about 2 years now.I use it to laser logo’s in bamboo.I now want to engrave text in aluminum but this is not possible with the laser I have so I want to buy a cheap CNC router to try this.As you can understand marking or engraving is not deep.It is just important people can read what I engrave (info about...

  • Now, it may be that I missed this feature or or clever way of doing this…It would be nice in “cut” mode if there was a setting for Offset Passes. Meaning that in pass 2 or 3 it could offset or inset a certain distance.Why?When making maps I often have the roads as vector paths and they are single line, open shapes. Some...

  • I can no longer send LightBurn files from my Imac to the Ruida controller on my Thunder Laser 60 watt. Every time I try to send the file I get the following messages: file transfer failed; settings could not be read from controller; there was a problem sending data to the laser. The machine may be busy or paused. I can send the same file from my Ma...
