SCULPFUN Laser Rotary Roller, Y-axis Rotary Roller for Laser Engraver Cutter Engraving Cylindrical Objects and Cans with 360°Rotating and 4 Height raisers, Support Diameter 6-150mm

Product Information

How to use: Disconnect the Y-axis motor wiring of the laser engraving machine, connect the SCULPFUN Rotary Roller to the Y-axis cable, and you can start using it. There is no need to set parameters in software because the surface linear speed of the roller is the same as the original Y-axis speed. Lightburn supports more formats: AI, SVG, DXF, PDF, HPGL, PLT, and RD for vector formats and PNG, JPEG, BMP, TIFF, TGA, and GIF for image formats. Step 2A is meant for machines that only have a single port/stepper motor, such as the 3018 Pro, 3018 Prover, LE-1620 and LE-5040 Free useful accessories: a free soft ruler to measure the size of object; 4 free raising feet, which can be used to increase the height of a variety of machines. There is a bar that says "type gcode here," select it, type the following depending on which step you followed previously:

If you don’t want to change the steps per mm every time, you can use the LightBurn wizard. LightBurn then takes over the conversion of the lengths from the motif into the movements of the rotation roller. For this, LightBurn needs two parameters: “mm per rotation” and “Roller Diameter” (A in the following picture). These two values are explained quite simply, but the function is sometimes a bit complicated. Rotary setup in LightBurn. Showing values for the Sculpfun rotary (A), these should be adjusted to your rotary. Settings B are, as stated, not used for rollers. and press the connect button to the right of the baud rate value. If successful, the console should show "grbl 1.1f" or grbl 1.1h" Adjust the position of the rotary axis so that your cylinder will be parallel to the X-axis and perpendicular to the Y-Axis. Step 2B: Installation Guide for if your Machine has Two Y-axis stepper motors Perfectly matched with engraving machine to engrave round objects】The One-piece rubber laser engraver rotary, hardness up to 70A, stronger friction, allowing you to perform 360-degree engravings on round or cylindrical objects such as cups, pens, bottles, pipes, bowls, drums and tubes and over-length plate engraving or cutting.Either way, you should now have a functioning rotary connected to your laser system. The last step is to set it up for use in your laser tool. I’ll show the tool from LightBurn. Set the steps per millimeter (“steps/mm”) correctly (firmware). The LightBurn assistant is not required and is not activated. Note: The front roller is a fixed roller and cannot be moved, only the rear roller can be adjusted.

Application: This machine can work with a number of different Sainsmart machines to engrave on materials with a cylindrical shape. mm per rotation”: this is the slightly more complicated value. This value indicates how many millimeters LightBurn should send to generate a complete rotation of the roller. And here you have to distinguish two cases: To clarify the whole thing a little better, here is an example. With the Comgrow Rotary, I can choose between the following settings. The initial situation is as follows: My laser normally has 80 steps per mm in the y-axis; with the roller it is 65 steps per mm and 16 mm diameter of the rollers. Huge engraving space and 4 raising feet: SCULPFUN roller base design is lower and stable, and equipped with 4 sturdy metal raising feet, so that it has a larger engraving diameter of 6-150mm, which can meet more engravings. need. Metal feet are more solid than plastic feet, and the machine is more stable when engraving. And if you want to engrave cylindrical objects, the Sculpfun Rotary Attachment is a great buy! We have reviewed and tested it HERE.A great upgrade for a cutting surface is a HONEYCOMB BOARD. It makes a big difference and the bottom side remains clean when laser cutting. It's great for cylinder carving and etching. It has a stable design for multiple diameters. Spacing between the two rotary axes ranges from 17mm/6.6" to 33mm 1.2".You can engrave almost the same travel size as the machine. Equipped with a roller stand to engrave objects such as goblets.

I leave the steps per mm in the firmware set to 80 (the default setting for a Sculpfun laser). Then I have to use the LightBurn wizard and find out by trial and error what value I need for “mm per rotation”. In this case, I get 40.8mm per rotation. To use the roller correctly, I have to activate “enable rotary” in LightBurn (so that the values of the wizard become active).A: The resolution of the lines should be chosen according to the laser spot. Usually for modules up to 10W 0.08 mm or 318 DPI (Lines per Inch), for modules from 20W rather 0.1 mm or 254 DPI. But here you can still play, if lines are visible in the motif, you can reduce the line interval or increase the DPI. Place the rotary axis in an appropriate position on the table, and connect the machine Y-axis motor cable to the rotary axis stepper motor.

original scale high-precision engraving: SCULPFUN roller adopts high friction 70A rubber shaft to prevent slipping, and the linear speed of the rotating surface has been precisely calculated. Directly plug in the engraving machine cable to engrave the original image in 100% proportion. Does not enlarge or reduce the image.

Highlights

Move the tensioning wheel assembly to make the synchronizing wheel under tension, and tighten the fixing bolts. Engraving Table Height】 This aluminum rotary laser engraver has a height of 2.36”. Please ensure the space between your machine’s laser head and engraving table can accommodate this added height. Adjustable axes distance up to 3.39” to process a wide range of cylinder diameters.

But the “saving and loading settings”– stuff is not required if you follow my tip using macro buttons. Example
