Cassian [main] on Nostr: Someone at our makerspace is struggling with the laser cutter, and it's a problem ...
Someone at our makerspace is struggling with the laser cutter, and it's a problem I've never run into before, I've never seen anything like it - so I thought I'd ask here and check if anyone has any clues.
They're trying to make boxes using this box generator: https://boxes.hackerspace-bamberg.de The box shapes export as SVGs.
The laser cutter is a HPC LS3060 with 50W CO2 laser, connected to the makerspace laptop with a USB cable.
And the laser cutter software is Lightburn on Windows. The files end in ".lbrn2".
Basically, everything looks perfect in Lightburn, including in preview. But when they go to cut, even when each individual shape is in a different layer, the laser will put extra cuts in or randomly move off at a strange angle and make cuts that aren't in the Lightburn file. (See photos of errors attached.)
Have you ever seen anything like this? If so, did you ever work out the cause?
