Thanks for this guide to setup the Aufero rotary to my Aufero LU2-4-LF, I know that this is an old tutorial but the info was spot on. I plugged the rotary into the y1 plug and figured out that my y2 connection had to be unplugged also in order for the rotary to work properly. I just wanted to thank you.

Man, thank you so much putting the effort into explaining this aspect of getting a rotary up and running in Lightburn. I had someone want to order engraving on tumblers and had just got my rotary. I was worried I wouldn't be able to figure out in time to do the job. Thanks to you I was doing a good quality engraving on the first day! I don't know how long it would've taken me to figure all this out on my own but this was a lifesaver!

great video for rotary. It worked great for me the first time I tried it. Went back to standard with out issues. Today I thought I would get a little creative with a tapered bottom wine bottle. So I made my funky set up. I can provide pics if you want them. But I had issues with the unit itself. I changed my settings to disable homing at start up, then turned off the power and attached the rotary cable. Next I powered up the laser. Then I loaded the rotary file I saved from my first go at the rotary set up that i did via your video. Then I selected write into the machine settings and created my burn file graphics. Then it went crazy. I kept getting the Gcode error while trying to home or jog. I had home turned off. Anyway, I had to go back to the standard settings which was a little difficult because of the gcode error. after research on inet, i found a comment about an error in the $22 code. fixed that and i was back to good to go on the standard settings. Then I thought I would try one last time. Instead of using my saved rotary machine settings I started from scratch with your video. It worked great. I know this is a long comment but my question is, d0 you have issues when you go back and forth between the two machine setting files?

I've measure the rolls, and I had 2 different measures, so i set it somewhere in between the two, then I measure the object was 60mm, which gave me the circumference of 188.496mm, but how did you get the "mm per rotation" figure? Is that supposed to be automatically calculated by Lightburn? Mine was over 300 mm... I tried the framing and it looks like is going around about 3 times, same with the burning... So I'm not sure if my vertical lines are apart or overlapping, since is going around and over the circumference more then once... Any idea? Cheers Alberto

After what was a steep learning curve, I am ready for the jump. My question for you I about a rotary attachment. I really like the look and versatility of the Xtool RA2 but was wondering if it would be in any way compatible with an OMTech 80w machine. If not, maybe a recommendation from you. I’ll be very grateful for any help mate. Take care and keep up the good work. 🤓

Not that I know of Bill. Co2 lasers use 2 or 3-phase rollers, OMTech & Monport are both 2-phase. Much better chuck rollers are available for the Co2 for about the same price as the xTool.

Rich, firstly thanks for a very educational channel, as a newbie to both LighBurn and Laser Etching I have learnt a hell of a lot. I have just purchased a Atomstack R3 rotary roller to use with my NEJE Master 2S Plus 40w Laser. I followed your instructions to the letter and they worked even though they were for the Ortur. However when I did the test with a 4mm line my line was 29mm wide, I run it several time with the same result. I tried a 5mm line this came out at 37mm wide, also the first line was 3mm short so I added 3mm on the mm per rotation in Rotary setup, but the gap still remains 3mm. Any ideas? By the way I am in the UK , thanks again Ian.

Manually move the laser (by hand) all the way to the left and try again. You probably had your settings wrong. You should be in absolute coordinates.

Thanks Rich for a prompt reply. I have run further tests, I entered a row of numbers 1 to 9 their height was 16.6mm to run right around a tumbler with a circumference of 228.96mm. The tumbler was covered with masking tape, when I started the run it was obvious that it was wrong, but I let it run for 3 numbers. The outcome was that the numbers were 120mm high x about 12 to13mm wide, also they were a mirror image. If I had completed the run I think the numbers would have gone around the circumference correctly. The image is correct when viewed in the preview window, I have gone right through all the settings for installing the roller. I have tried Enable Rotary both on and off in Tools Rotary Setup. There must be a setting wrong somewhere either in my LightBurn or for the Rotary Roller. Can you or anyone else please help? Kind regards Ian.

Isn't that crazy? If I weren't part of my own local Maker community and if I didn't have multiple machines, I would have never figured that out! The industry needs better standards! 👀 I'm glad it helped you! Great channel name BTW! 👍

Thank you very much for this video. But how does it work with the LM1? Lightburn doesn't allow to put a circonference bigger than the workspace of the machine.

Your circumference will never be larger than the work plane. That is the distance around the outside of the cup.

@@TheLouisianaHobbyGuy Hello, I’m familiar with what is the circumference 😬. But the Ortur LM1 (the little one) has a workspace of 160mm X 150mm. So any basic tumbler has a bigger circumference than the workspace.

Hey Rich. I'm having a lot of issues with "line drag" for lack of the correct term. It looks like a couple of passes are being dragged down a fraction of an inch out of the image area. so my finished product is nicely engraved except for 2 or 3 passes (vertical) screws up the image. Anything you can suggest would be a huge help. Cheers. Keep up the good work. (I apologize if you've touched on this in a previous video, I couldn't find anything applicable).

Without actually seeing it Brad, I would think it's likely either an anomaly in the file or perhaps something loose on the roller itself.

many thanks for this video, it has really helped me set up my rotor. the issue I'm having is that my rotor spins multiple times when doing my test run, not sure how to ensure it runs just once 360.

Sorry, I can't diagnose problems in KZread comments. But usually it's just the framing that has this behavior on the rotary.

@@TheLouisianaHobbyGuy it was the mm per rotation that was off, sorted that now, many thanks. It's there anywhere I can get the recommended speed and power settings for different materials

Great video! I have the Atomstack R3 Rotary. The principle is the same. One question I have is concerning the mm per rotation setting. Should this be the diameter of the roller times pi? My roller is 16mm in diameter so the mm per rotation would be 50mm. Or am I falling down a rabbit hole. Thanks again for the videos you produce! Denham Springs

No Jeff. They all seem to be different and it's based on the stepper motor used. For example, one rotary on my Co2 is 8250 SR with a 24mm roller diameter, and another is 9200 SR with a 25mm roller. So the numbers are based on the motor & the roller.

Hey Rich, Great video! , This really helped me get most of my settings dialed in. Only issue i am having is when burn letters onto a tumble, For example I was writing "I planned on it" on a tumbler, When it would start engraving, it would start on the word "Planned" but not finish the word when it would go back to finish the word the letters would either be spaced out differently or not line up or overlap itself. Do you have any idea why this would happen? Thanks man

Sounds like a steps per rotation problem Frank. Check your roller diameter again.

I have a question regarding the setup on the Machine Settings page. Your instruction state turning to false the Soft Limits and Homing Cycle before saving. Since there are only 2 items to change why do I have to save this. I can remember this when changing back to standard laser. If it is absolutely necessary to save what is the procedure to do this. Where do I find this saved file and how to activate it? The video is a great reference to revert back to. Thank you.

Hi Dick, If you want to manually change the settings, that's fine. You find the save settings wherever you save them to. I would suggest creating a folder named Lightburn.

Hello, I have a Shapeoko 3XXX. Do you know if this will work on this machine? The Y cable is cancelled in a box. If I had some kind of cable to plug into the port and have it extend out of the box that I can easily get to would that work? Great video by the way.
