If you have the smaller machines, then measure out your distance and put it in for your table.Ĥ. Name your machine and put in the dimensions. You will not be able to do pictures though).ģ. (if you don’t have GRBL 1.1f and don’t want to upgrade, then choose GRBL-M3 (1.1e or earlier) from the list. You need to have GRBL 1.1f installed on your machine to do pictures. It will not work for most GRBL machine like the Shapeoko3, so we recommend setting it up manually. There will be a section in the start where lightburn will “attempt to detect” your laser. Here is what you need to do to get it set up. When you first run Lightburn, you should have a quick setup wizard walk you through the setup. The Shapeoko3 has some things you need to change to get it all working, so we will cover it here. Click on the bottom “Run Anyway” button to install it. When you install the Lightburn software, you might see Windows trying to protect you.
Ok, now that you have downloaded Lightburn software, we can get started with the rest of the setup. If you want to do the step by step instructions then they are all below.
