Setting Up Chuck Rotary on Boss Laser

[@ryaneberly7944]

OK first thank you so much. You explained that better than Boss did. I have the exact same laser and our numbers were the same. Second Use the laser to make a phone tripod

Glad it helped

So does this machine come with a camera for the overlay for Live placement ? Subbed...........Regards, rick

Does the steps per rotation change when the diameter changes or does it stay the same?

[@mrbill8686]

Once you set it, you shouldn’t have to change it. You just update your object diameter or circumference

How do you go about leveling your cup? Or don't you??

[@mrbill8686]

I just put shims underneath until it’s level. But I have since upgraded to the PiBurn Grip.

[@bradouellette6558]

When you are measuring for the diameter of your cup are you using the widest diameter of the cup or the opening for the lid. And also the circumference, if your graphic went from the base of the wine tumbler to the lid what measurements would you use. Thanks for the video I have the exact setup as you so this was very helpful

[@mrbill8686]

I use the widest diameter of where I plan on engraving at. If it has a slight taper, then it shouldn't really affect it. However, if it's a moderate or heavy taper or drop in the cup shape, then that complicates things. As far as the measurement on the wine tumbler, I went with the diameter of the widest part of the cup and it auto populated the circumference. Then I just measured where the wide part was to the top of the painted portion of the cup and centered the laser halfway between. I'm not sure if that answered your question or not, but I'm glad the video was able to help.

I noticed that in Lightburn when you did the bure for the step check you had a camera view. Does the 1420 have a built in cam like the Laserbox does?

[@mrbill8686]

No I had to buy the camera separate from Lightburn and install in the machine.

Hello! How do you use your chuck with 4" diameter cups? I can't get mine to stay. Thank you!

Thanks for the gReat video .

Thanks for watching!

Hi Bill , what is the correct procedure for removing the rotary , second time I used it and needed tech support to reset , after unplugging and restarting my Y axis will only come forward 350 mm

[@StripingWithBill]

Make sure everything is turned off then disconnect the cord on the rotary and reattach the cord that was originally plugged in for the y axis. Then turn everything on. Then go to the tools tab and rotary settings and make sure that the chuck is not enabled. Let me know if that works. If not, I’ll do another video.

[@bradouellette6558]

@@StripingWithBill , thank you , I forgot to turn off the rotary , I will try that in the morning and report back , thanks for the response , it’s nice to have someone to help that has the exact setup , I have a slick little trick for the rotary chuck , I will send you pics tomorrow

[@APTTMHYAH]

Does it have to be a rotary from boss laser or can you install a rotary from amazon?

[@mrbill8686]

It should generally be the same process but I cannot confirm that as I have only used the boss one. Sorry I couldn't provide a better answer.
