      I don't have a video on it, but just manually input the stuff that's in the video (so when it asks for bed size, use the size in the video, etc.) and then once it's added, just specify the port it's connected to (if it shows multiple COM ports then just try each one until you find it, no harm in choosing the wrong one.)

    I’m having framing issues and the material test is engraving in reverse. The framing is just all over the place and not where I have the image. Any ideas on both of these issues?

    • @CreatedWorkshop
      @CreatedWorkshop  5 місяців тому

      For material test, it goes based off of where you have your origin set. So, if your origin is set to "absolute position" it'll place the test in the middle of your bed. If you have it set to user origin, and so on.
      For the engraving in reverse, that's very odd. Could you send me a picture on Instagram (or email it to me patrick @ created workshop (dot) com)

    What shall I do if Lightburn refuses to see my Monport 40W Pro? It just doesn't see the device

      Are you doing manual setup or the "Find Device" function? And, have you installed the CH340 driver?

    how do I know where the laser will start prinint, or how do I tell it where to start printing.

    • @CreatedWorkshop
      @CreatedWorkshop  7 місяців тому

      That's controlled by your origin point. There's three options: absolute position (where you place it on the workspace is where it'll work), user origin (move the head to a place and set user origin), or current position (wherever the laser is that's where it starts). Then, right around that selection is the actual job origin point. This is where you choose like top left, center, etc.

    And if it doesn't find the board. I just installed a monport and it doesn't show up in lightburn, but will "connect" but frezzes out when "homing" (no stepper movement. But on LASERGRBL it works fine

      The K40 is actually on loan to another maker that’s not super far from me, and when I visit the shop next I plan to take some footage of how the Z table is connected.
