I have been using it for all my recent jobs (after Stephen put me onto it), and found that it has some great and handy features.
The first capture was a Letter "D" for (Danny of course), then we captured his name which we rotated and resized to engrave inside the original letter D using the camera work alignment, then on the back we engraved a doodle he quickly did and resize and located on the workpiece I've attached a couple of photos the Danny and I were playing around with capturing his drawings. There is a calibration and alignment procedure and when completed you can throw away the red dot laser pointer that these laser come with, however this is not just for job alignment to the workpiece, it also allows to capture an image and then you can scale rotate and align to your workpiece. So I hooked up a spare webcam with some double sided tape to test things out. One of the cool features ( and there are a few) is that it has a camera interface for work positioning using computer vision. Straight out, one of the the things I love is that it works on Linux, Mac and Windows, the free software RDWORKS that comes with the laser cutters only work on windows and is VERY clunky to use in a Chinglish sort of way, if you've ever used it you'll know what I mean, dent get me wrong the software is very capable, just not intuitive.Īs both myself and my wife are Mac people I was looking forward to something I didn't have to fire up a windows VM to use each and every time I want to use it.Īfter using it for a couple of weeks now I can safely say that I'll be sticking with it.
I wont go into demos of it as you an see from the you tube channel the tutorials. Also for this price the license allows you to to install it on two devices, perfect for my wife and myself. The costs for the Chinese controller is USD$80, and if you only want GRBL is half price at $40, however for the $80 it also includes GRBL, and you can upgrade your GRBL license at any time. along with the open source GRBL controllers. Over the last few weeks Ive been playing around with Lightburn, ), a 3rd party (commercial) software that works with the RUDIA controllers that come in most cheap chinese Laser cutters on eBay.
