Hello, I recently got an Atomstack 5A Pro and am trying to use the LaserGRBL software. At least I got the laser to work - that's about it. All he lasered was a line :-(. My question - how can I set the program? The laser drives to a corner, stops because it can't go any further, but wants to keep going and starts to rattle. Sorry for my English - I'm from Germany and I'm translating with Google

Really helpful video, thankyou. Have you engraved laserable rubber on your machine? I have an atomstack 20w and tried to make my own rubber stamps but struggling to achieve satisfactory results. My last effort seemed to be going ok but had to do 7 passes, taking half an hour a time and on its last pass it had moved a millimetre despite being taped down and made a mess! I'm wondering if I can get more depth per pass with different settings. I had it on 4000 mm/? 100% on dithering with a speed of 750. I'm not sure if 'flare ups' at this slow speed burned my fine details away too as it got deeper or if it happened on that last pass being moved. I don't want to waste any more of my A4 rubber sheet :( Or is there a better material to use on a 20w which would make a good fine detailed stamp?

First,, check your max S setting by typing in "$$" to your console. Look at what $30 returns. Make sure to set your Smax in the second setup screen to that value (typically 1000). Try using a slow speed like 200 or so. If things still do not burn,, you may have a bad diode.

On Diode Lasers, the Rating is usually the laser's power consumption - not it's output. For a 20 W Diode Laser, the output power will be between 5.0 to 5.5 W. On the Baud Rate - unless you have a very old computer, use the fastest Baud Rate.

So with LaserGRBL I cannot position the image anywhere on the grid. So, for those of us who have the Pro version with the smoke alarm right by the Home (0,0) lower left corner; it detects smoke as soon as it starts because the etch/burn is within inches of the detector. Can I move the image anywhere on the grid? Other than that, thanks for the video.

Best video for actually understanding how to use this software with my machine. Thanks.
Thank you SO much for so thoroughly explaining this software. I was feeling pretty lost up until I found your video. Thanks again.
Super useful for the beginner; particularly if you’re making your own CNC laser from scrap (so lower tolerances). Thanks!
Thanks for taking the time to put this together. You have answered quite a few questions that i didnt even know i needed to ask. Thanks again!
I was just about to throw this out the window!!! Your video helped me figure it out. Thank you so much for ending my frustration!!!
You made this program so much easy for a first time user and i wish the best
Excellent video!!! Thank you!!
Thank you very much for posting this informative video. I learned a lot.
This video was very helpful to a newbie
Thanks for these tutorials! Very helpful! Can you tell me how to get the background of my images totally blank? I seem to keep getting a very faint background
Thanks for that Anthony, am a new user and your explanation helped heaps. One thing you could maybe do a video on would be to start from beginning to end slowly with Inkscape, it would help a lot. I am trying to learn as I want to make the dolls houses and other items like your lit up tower but you are too quick for beginners I think. Good stuff really enjoyed your videos excellent.
Thank you for the video!
Thank you! Very helpful!

Brilliant video , I have atomstack x7 pro ! Looking to cut some 6 mm wood! which of the programs within laser grbl would you recommend for cutting ?
Thank you Anthony your clear tutorials saved me a lot of headaches, I wonder, do you do tutorials on things like stepper vibration etc. ?
thanks, that helps a lot !

Hello, I recently got an Atomstack 5A Pro and am trying to use the LaserGRBL software. At least I got the laser to work - that's about it. All he lasered was a line :-(. My question - how can I set the program? The laser drives to a corner, stops because it can't go any further, but wants to keep going and starts to rattle. Sorry for my English - I'm from Germany and I'm translating with Google
Really helpful video, thankyou. Have you engraved laserable rubber on your machine? I have an atomstack 20w and tried to make my own rubber stamps but struggling to achieve satisfactory results. My last effort seemed to be going ok but had to do 7 passes, taking half an hour a time and on its last pass it had moved a millimetre despite being taped down and made a mess! I'm wondering if I can get more depth per pass with different settings. I had it on 4000 mm/? 100% on dithering with a speed of 750. I'm not sure if 'flare ups' at this slow speed burned my fine details away too as it got deeper or if it happened on that last pass being moved. I don't want to waste any more of my A4 rubber sheet :( Or is there a better material to use on a 20w which would make a good fine detailed stamp?

First,, check your max S setting by typing in "$$" to your console. Look at what $30 returns. Make sure to set your Smax in the second setup screen to that value (typically 1000). Try using a slow speed like 200 or so. If things still do not burn,, you may have a bad diode.
How do you know what settings to choose? Im brand new and dont understand any of this
Thank you for the information GREAT LESSON. I still don't know how to import pictures or line diagrams into the program.
Got your vid from google/you-tube and still have many Q which sure you know answers. So how do I select whatever in lasergbrl and flag as burn or cut... How to select laser level/speed for items?

On Diode Lasers, the Rating is usually the laser's power consumption - not it's output. For a 20 W Diode Laser, the output power will be between 5.0 to 5.5 W. On the Baud Rate - unless you have a very old computer, use the fastest Baud Rate.

There comes a time when you want/ need to change your mind and go back to change a selection. Is there a way ? I been exiting abd starting over. Can you ask the creator to maybe add this feature?
So with LaserGRBL I cannot position the image anywhere on the grid. So, for those of us who have the Pro version with the smoke alarm right by the Home (0,0) lower left corner; it detects smoke as soon as it starts because the etch/burn is within inches of the detector. Can I move the image anywhere on the grid? Other than that, thanks for the video.
