Ultimate LightBurn Rotary Setup Tutorial for Perfect Engravings

[@poukram]

Many thanks to you! I have had a rotary for 1 year and I had never managed to configure it correctly until I came across your tutorial :D You saved my project of the day

[@fenixbarbers]

your the only person that explained the setting perfectly thank you so much.

[@MobileMrManiac]

I got my first klaser just couple months ago... and everything I know is because if this guy and this channel. Thank you so much.

*I ALWAYS wrap my project with paper and test with a light setting. No room for mistakes!*

*EXCELLENT VIDEO!!*

[@tfwoodcraft]

Very helpful video in a very useful format. Thanks!!

[@MellowpineLasers]

Glad you liked it. 😊

[@brendonkauffman4962]

thank you for the video! big help, it is much appreciated!

[@richfox1255]

Super helpful video! Just assembled and started running my new Atezr L2 24W with roller rotary and Lightburn. Newbie question 1: Any advice on how to properly set the Origin (current position? user? absolute?) so I can avoid crashing into the rails. Second question: how does Home work when the rotary is in use? Thanks so much.

Nice work Mellowpine

[@MellowpineLasers]

Thank you for the appreciation 😊

Your video was very informative. Thanks I am new to engraving. I purchased a creality falcon2 22w. I'm trying to engrave a softball. I set-up the rotary laser. When I go to frame it doesn't frame the same as the test ln laser tool. Can you help? Thanks in advance

[@MellowpineLasers]

You should be able to calibrate your rotary using the steps in the video. But if your laser frames properly during the test and doesn't frame the same after you exit the rotary setup, then make sure you have Rotary Enabled in LightBurn after closing the Rotary Setup window.

Super vidéo. Va beaucoup m'aider pour instaler mon chuck ycr 1 ortur. Merci

[@MellowpineLasers]

Heureux que vous ayez trouvé la vidéo utile! 😊

Another great video my friend. I noticed at 7:24 you were etching the white coffee mug without anything sprayed on the mug and getting the black Mellowpine LOGO. Do you mind telling me your Speed/Pwr LPI settings for the black logo on the white mug?

[@MellowpineLasers]

Thank you so much. I used white spray paint on a white coffee mug which is why you couldn't see the coating. I used 80% power at 65 mm/s and 254 LPI on my 20W diode.

[@larrycolson7451]

@@MellowpineLasers Thank you sir! What did you have to use to remove the paint?

[@MellowpineLasers]

I didn't let the paint dry for too long, some 10 minutes and engraved it. It came off with some paint thinner.

Started engraving tumblers after a hiatus of 4 or 5 months and for some reason my OLM3 and their rotary chuck is not engraving properly. My file measures 60 x 30 and when it engraves it measures about 170 x 15 . It also frames at this size. I have used my PC as well as 2 different laptops and still get the same results. Since I have 2 of the Ortur OLM3, I also used it, again same results. I have tested the rotation and it shows it to be 96. Some people say it should be 120 but the results are the same. When I take the file and engrave a flat surface, the results are ok. Somewhere there is a setting that is wrong. Any ideas?

[@jimhamilton2680]

Disregard the above. Had a senior moment and did not turn enable rotary, only turned on chuck.

6:35 *Be SURE to position the piece at the edge, or with some kind of block. This will avoid the piece creeping downhill because of gravity!*

[@CyberStormGames-z6o]

Okay, so I just got my Longer Rotary roller in the main and lightburn won't allow the test or print. LaserGRBL does, however its not printing properly. Why can't Lightburn allow the rotary to be set as active (Enabled)?

[@MellowpineLasers]

Which laser machine are you using ?

[@Aartisan]

Hi Sir , Can you please tell me which machine is best for bottle and steel

[@MellowpineLasers]

For glass bottles a CO2 laser would be easier. However, if it is not a production environment you can make do with a diode laser. For steel, a fiber laser is the ideal choice but diode can put marks on steel as well. If it's coated metal, any laser can remove the coating to put your design on the material. You can choose any laser that has a rotary accessory support.

[@Aartisan]

Sir , Greetings!! THANSK FOR THE REPLY. I plan to buy a sculpfun Pro Max S30 20 W with rotary. It can work please suggest.

[@0vidchannel3]

Will the laser power parameters be the same for different materials if using rotary setup?

[@MellowpineLasers]

More or less the same but it would be good if you could use low speed settings on rotary. Say you engrave at 40% and 20mm/s on a rotary you can lower it to 20% at 10 mm/s. High speed can produce jerky movement in some cases.

[@MellowpineLasers]

But you should try to keep a good balance or else your engraving time would be longer

[@brandonvarner8475]

I have my rotary connected to my laser but when I got to the rotary setup it wont let me click the ok button or the test button. Do you have any ideas or pointers you are able to give me?

[@MellowpineLasers]

What laser and rotary are you using?

[@brandonvarner8475]

I am using a TTS 55 pro 5.5 watt laser with a Creality rotary kit pro. @@MellowpineLasers

[@MellowpineLasers]

Of the top of my head, it might be because the wiring configuration is wrong.

[@DebbieHillis-f4y]

I've watched your video over and over and when I press start on my Lightburn app (Gwieke Cloud Pro 2), the red error light immediately turns on. I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong. Please help me troubleshoot :)

[@MellowpineLasers]

Hi, Are you facing the issue only when using the rotary setup in LightBurn or do you face the same issue in the Gweike Cloud software as well?

My last letter looks different... why could it be?

Thank you, this helped a lot. Supper confused about “mirrored” images, turning on or off does not always help. Masking tape idea definitely s game changer!
