Differences between stock Silvertail lasercutter with Lasercut53 software and current lasercutter set-up with smoothiware controller and Lightburn software
- No need to download to the cutter
- The equivalent of 'Run Box' to get the extent of your cut is the 'Frame' button.
- Ignore the controls on the cutter itself. The LCD panel currently does nothing. We're working on providing a front panel interface.
- Z axis adjustment is via software on the PC, choose a smallish step size and keep pressing the up/down z axis buttons. Little steps take it easy!
- Lightburn tutorials
- If you E-Stop the lasercutter, you may need to restart Lightburn to re-detect it.
- The Home is still the right rear
- The Origin is now the left front (engineering norm). X axis towards the right, Y axis towards the back.
- Comm port settings should be set to auto and Hackspace laser
- Power levels might need a bit of adjustment. Do a test cut first.
- ACnode has been rebuilt and re-located on the front-right of the laser cutter. Now de-powers the smoothieboard via relay.
