I just installed the mini3D into my machine. My motors will move, but the laser isn’t firing. When running a test fire on both the panel and the power supply, it fired just fine. What’d I miss?

Impossible to say without pictures of your wiring and more details.

Alright, here’s the pics of my wiring… images/fb0eeb8145d16b6f642f1bc5e85c653d.jpeg

What additional details are needed?

Looks good to me. Do this:

Remove the blue wire from the mini board and touch it to ground - presumably the brown wire. See if that fires your laser.

I just tried touching thr laser wire (blue) to the ground, and yes, it fired.

Then you should be good. Put it back to that screw terminal.

Power back up, connect in Lightburn, make sure you can jog around. Go back to 0,0 then send this command in console

G1 X10 S0.8 F600

This should move to X10 (hence don’t be at X10 already) while firing.


K. J. VanWormer July 09, 2018 00:11

Alright. Plugged that command in. No fire.


K. J. VanWormer July 09, 2018 00:19

Whoa. Nevermind. We’re cooking!
