- How to drop the laser head 2mm
( C ) How to set "Z Down 2mm " function in LightBurn:
- When you cut thick objects, you can drop the laser head by 2mm, making the focal length drop by 2mm for a perfect cut!
- The steps are the same as before.
- Select any custom button, right click mouse to pop up the button setting page, enter the name of the button in "Button Label", enter [$J=G91 Z-2 F200] under "Macro contents" .
For LaserGRBL
- How to set "Autofocus"，“Z-axis reset”，“Z Down 2mm”functions in LaserGRBL:
- We have packaged LaserGRBL's function buttons so that you can import three buttons at once.
- You need to download as follows or go to support.gluwphy.com to download the button file "Gluwphy_GM_GRBL_Button.zbn" first.
- At the bottom of the laserGRBL interface, click the right button of your mouse and choose”Impot custom buttons”, as follows:
- Select the "Gluwphy_GM_GRBL_Button.zbn" you have download.
- Follow the prompts and select Yes for all.
- As shown below, the newly added button, 01 is the "Autofocus"，02 is the “Z-axis reset”，03 is the“Z Down 2mm”
Part 1 Unbox and check
Rotary Roller X 1 Rotating Rod X 2
Height Increasing Shims for Height Increasing Shims for
GM110(10W) X 2 GM105(5W) X 2
Part 2 How to Use
1, Put the Rotary Roller into the machine and connect the wires. (Picture 1)
2, If the laser module is 10W, you need to use two pieces of 10W spacer to put into the bottom case square first (Picture 2); If the laser module is 5W, two pieces of 5W shims need to be placed into the bottom case square first. (Picture 2)
Picture 1 Picture 2
3, Unscrew the claw disk with the claw disk turning lever, clamp the round carving object, and adjust the tail top to support the carving object. (Picture 3)
4, If you need to engrave vertically, you need to adjust the rotary screw (or hand screw), rotate the motor and then tighten it to fix it. (Picture 4)

Part 3 How to setup the software parameters
1, Firstly, you need to measure the diameter of the object to be machined in mm.
Assuming a measurement of X mm.
2, Then you need to calculate the value of $101, Calculated by the following formula:
$101=2548/Diameter of the object to be processed=2548/X=Y.
3, If you use lightburn to process, Turn on the machine and connect with you computer. Open edit in lightburn and find Machine Settings as follows:
4, Find Y steps per mm($101) and change the last parameter from 80 to the previously calculated value of Y (Note that this parameter needs to be changed back to 80 when you want to use planar machining)
5, If you use LaserGRBL to process, Turn on the machine and connect with you computer. Open Grbl in LaserGRBL and find Grbl Configuration as follows:
6, Find $101 and change the parameter from 80 to the previously calculated value of Y (Note that this parameter needs to be changed back to 80 when you want to use planar machining)
