Habr<p>LightBurn всё. Купил? Хватай, а то убежит</p><p>Слухи прошлой недели нашли свое подтверждение в официальной рассылке. Вечером 21 января 2025 разработчик LightBurn уведомил некоторых своих клиентов о предстоящих изменениях. Покупатели из РФ и Беларуси больше не покупатели. Лицензии будут отозваны. Потраченные деньги конечно же никто не вернет. А времени осталось – до 24 января. Подробнее об этом и совсем немного о том, как с этим бороться – под катом.</p><p><a href="https://habr.com/ru/articles/875470/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="">habr.com/ru/articles/875470/</span><span class="invisible"></span></a></p><p><a href="https://zhub.link/tags/lightburn" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>lightburn</span></a></p>
TriploidTree<p>So is <a href="https://mastodon.ie/tags/Lightburn" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Lightburn</span></a> still the only <a href="https://mastodon.ie/tags/LaserCutting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>LaserCutting</span></a> software that works on Linux? Even though they gave up supporting Linux?</p>
Cassian [main]<p>Someone at our makerspace is struggling with the laser cutter, and it's a problem I've never run into before, I've never seen anything like it - so I thought I'd ask here and check if anyone has any clues.</p><p>They're trying to make boxes using this box generator: <a href="https://boxes.hackerspace-bamberg.de" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="">boxes.hackerspace-bamberg.de</span><span class="invisible"></span></a> The box shapes export as SVGs.</p><p>The laser cutter is a HPC LS3060 with 50W CO2 laser, connected to the makerspace laptop with a USB cable.</p><p>And the laser cutter software is Lightburn on Windows. The files end in ".lbrn2".</p><p>Basically, everything looks perfect in Lightburn, including in preview. But when they go to cut, even when each individual shape is in a different layer, the laser will put extra cuts in or randomly move off at a strange angle and make cuts that aren't in the Lightburn file. (See photos of errors attached.)</p><p>Have you ever seen anything like this? If so, did you ever work out the cause?</p><p>Edit: FIXED! We emailed the people who sold us the laser cutter, and they suggested we check whether our makerspace member was "streaming" the cutting from the laptop with the controls in Lightburn, or if they were sending the file to the laser cutter first and then directly cutting from the laser cutter UI. The member was "streaming" it from the laptop (pressing "start" in Lightburn on the laptop), which apparently can cause these kinds of problems. When they switched to sending the file to the laser cutter and pressing "start" on the laser cutter buttons, it fixed the problem completely and instantly. :)</p><p><a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/Lightburn" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Lightburn</span></a> <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/LaserCutting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>LaserCutting</span></a> <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/LaserCutters" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>LaserCutters</span></a> <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/LaserCutter" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>LaserCutter</span></a></p>
Instant Arcade<p>I didn't order a stencil for this prototype board because I wasn't sure if it would work.</p><p>I converted my paste layer gerber to dxf and imported it into <a href="https://leds.social/tags/Lightburn" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Lightburn</span></a> and cut a stencil on a thin mylar sheet used for transparancies.</p><p>My &gt; 10 year paste was hard, so I thinned it a bit with some IPA and this is the result I got.</p><p>Not too shabby for my first attempt.

Kadin<p>Saw this message from the <a href="https://mastodon.sdf.org/tags/Lightburn" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Lightburn</span></a> developers last week.</p><p>Lightburn is *the* software to control generic/Chinese laser cutters and there's no good alternative for Linux that I'm aware of right now.</p><p>Hopefully there will be one before LB 1.7 finally stops working.</p><p>So disappointing. It feels like this is really not a technical issue, but due to the Lightburn devs' failure to clearly communicate expectations w/r/t supported distributions and packaging.</p>
