Trogdor (100w CO2 Laser) Checklist

Power On

  1. Turn on machine: large switch, right side of cabinet
  2. Confirm blower is running: ducting will obviously be moving air
  3. Turn on computer: if it isn't already
  4. Wait ~10s before opening Lightburn: a background process needs to configure the laser first
  5. Open Lightburn, wait for homing cycle: the machine will automatically “home” itself i.e. confirm the position of each axis by driving motors to reach endstop sensors

Prepare To Cut

  1. Prepare design in Lightburn: import SVGs, clean up cutpaths, etc.
  2. Focus laser to workpiece: use the move tab in Lightburn with the plastic focusing puck OR use macros from the console tab to jog to the right height for common material thicknesses
  3. Align design to workpiece: make sure everything fits as expected in x/y axes by using Lightburn's frame button

TODO: confirm “cut selected graphics”, coordinate system, etc.
