I can’t see the top of my bed, but I can see the bottom. Is that the way it’s supposed to be? I mean… If I put material near the top of the honeycomb, I literally cannot see it. However I can see past the honeycomb on the bottom. [image] Thanks!

I can’t see the top margin of the honeycomb and never could. Bottom is always visible. Interesting though the honeycomb and tray margin meet at the bottom edge on your image at less that 11" in the left ruler. Mine is at 11.25. Check out others in this topic: [image] Prerelease Req…

Ok then, I’ll crawl back under my rock now. I just don’t get why you guys keep being stubborn about this. I consider the Pro to be a ‘prosumer’ product, not a toy. It’s like you decided at the start that camera alignment is the way to go because of the funky trace function. But you haven’t solve…

I’m not - the system doesn’t have a reference corner like you’re asking for. If you wanted to solve the problem of “put this thing in a precise location” or “align things the same every time” or any other particular use case, we’ve done lots of work and have lots more to do. But if you want that s…

Numeric positioning/scaling/rotation in the gfui would work wonders here. I’m hoping we see that soon =)

I am wondering how much the decision to do only camera alignment is bolstered by manufacturing and assembly and calibration. I was watching some videos of other laser brands in operation and looked at the beds of the lasers and the registration setup. Not at all dismissing the value of having dialed…

I think part of the argument here arises from different perceptions of how something like this is supposed to work. For those well versed in CNC fabrication and those type of machines, I’m sure the lack of a 0,0 coordinate is frustrating. For me, where my use cases aren’t as fabrication centric, so …

Limit switches don’t normally need to be super accurately positioned, they just have to repeatable and then they define the origin and everything works from there. However if the origin was defined by switches and fixed relative to the frame, you would still need to work out where the lid camera is…

[image] marmak3261: Certainly having the lid close accurately and reliably to allow the camera to register If the camera can detect edges, position of material on the bed wouldn’t matter. Even angle wouldn’t matter. The software could just adjust x and y planes accordingly. And if it regis…

Is my lid camera misaligned?
