Just got this A5 M50 Pro after watching dozens of videos of it cutting 3mm or thicker plywood right out of the box. I am using LightBurn and one pass at 100mm/min 100% laser doesn’t even burn deep enough to feel the cut with a sharp object. Thinking it was something with LightBurn, I loaded the included dog cut file from Atomstack on the TF c...

My preview screen went from a white background with black lines to a black background with white lines. Not sure if this is a new update or if I push the button to change it somehow has anyone seen anything like this? If so, is it normal or how do I change it back?

I have 3 saved positions that come up when I need them. A few days ago I was using a template and needed to add 2 new saved position for these templates but when I went back in they were no longer there. This is a reoccuring issue and I’m not sure what I did correctly for the 3 that come up all the time Vs those I keep setting and losing.Late...

Ortur Laser Master 3 keeps beeping, I cannot get it to quit when using Lightburn. I was using it wireless with Laser explorer wireless with the zip drive connected and it does not beep, only when I take the zip drive out and connect it with usb to my computer.

I started getting the “hard limit triggered. machine position is likely lost due to sudden and immediate halt” error today. I had a long cut going, approximately 4 hours, and it stopped about a third of the way with the error. Since then, I’ve received the error a few times when framing. It always stops when traversing from left t...

I’m importing vectors that are solid filled shapes, yet when I bring them into Lightburn, they are automatically turned into outlined shapes and so when I preview, it’s treating portions of my design as simply lined etches instead of the filled? is there something that may be turned on in Lightburn that makes it do that or does it just ...

I have a Atomstack a5 pro plus running lightburn. I used it four days ago and it worked perfectly. But when I went to use it tonight it says error code 20. I had not messed with anything between uses.

Is there a way to set it up like our cnc mills we run? This would make it easier on us when designing things. Since we are familiar with this layout and for programing. Our normal cad/cam software is setup like picture below. Can we setup Lightburn the same way? Like this picture I found on here:Everything seems to point to positive values only un...

Hey there! I bought an FTG rotary, and hooked up to the Y axis on the Lightburn compatible board that came installed in my Monport Blue K40. The machine is working with standard flat burning, so supposedly everything is fine until I swap to the rotary. When I power up, the machine does its Double Homing Routine (once quick, backs off and then does ...
