If you do not set this value, LightBurn will use the same speed as the G1 moves. This can save significant time.Ī note for Marlin users: Since Marlin treats G0 and G1 moves identically, this value is used to specify the speed for rapid moves. With the Fast Whitespace switch enabled, LightBurn will boost the speed through blank areas to the speed you indicate, if it is faster than the current engraving speed. If you are engraving slowly to get a good burn, but the image contains a lot of empty space (white space), this takes a long time. When engraving an image, LightBurn normally moves at the same speed across the entire image. Note that this section will appear differently depending on the type of controller you have, and not all settings will appear for all controllers. See the help for Scanning Offset Adjustment here. Scanning offset is useful when doing raster or vector scanning at high enough speeds that delays in your power supply cause the firing point to be a little behind where it should be. If your laser has a red-dot pointer that is not aligned with your beam, you can enable the Laser Offset value to compensate for this when framing and positioning. If your laser output is mirrored horizontally or vertically, move the dot to the opposite corner, horizontally or vertically, depending on the direction that the output is mirrored, and that will correct it. If you have a DSP laser, like Ruida or Trocen, the origin is usually where the limit switches are placed, and will will be the corner the laser seeks when powered up. If you have a GCode based system, this is almost always at the front left, regardless of the location of your limit switches.
This is the origin corner or 0,0 location for your laser. Note that this setting does not affect the laser itself, it's just to tell LightBurn how large the work area of the laser is. Set this to the maximum X and Y travel for your laser. This is the working size of your laser bed.
