Installing the Genmitsu Z5-1 galvo laser in Lightburn v1.7 BSL

[@plasmaDave]

I've just discovered that in the step where I change the "start marking" port setting from 2 to none, if you instead set the option from high to low the button on the handle of the laser will start the current job 👍

I have the z5-1 also. I was looking at the x-toolf1 and it's basically the same as minus the print size and the diode laser. X-Tool says the F1 can color engrave. Any suggestions how to do this with the z5-1?

[@plasmaDave]

Not something I've experimented with but it would be easier too run some tests using light burn. A combination of speed power and Hz I imagine. Is now on my to do list.

One more question. I have bsl mainboard also but it does not detect it

[@plasmaDave]

@@stephensharma3259 you have paid for the extras plug in?

[@stephensharma3259]

is that black acrylic then how does it engrave and turn out white

[@plasmaDave]

@@stephensharma3259 yes black acrylic. It does turn it white. Not sure why but very effective.

[@stephensharma3259]

@plasmaDave does this work on red as well? i tried on my galvo.. didnt have any effect

[@plasmaDave]

@@stephensharma3259 not so good on other colours, it marks it but black is by far the best contrast.
