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

And if you want to engrave cylindrical objects, the Sculpfun Rotary Attachment is a great buy! We have reviewed and tested it HERE. You can get millions of free vector designs on the internet, or you can use free vector drawing programs like Inkscape or QCAD (for more technical drawings)

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" In the LightBurn screenshot above, you can see which settings you should pay special attention to. In the pictures above are examples of favorable and unfavorable movements. Movements along the y-axis should be as small as possible to prevent the object from sliding on the rollers. Set the steps per millimeter (“steps/mm”) correctly (firmware). The LightBurn assistant is not required and is not activated. 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 Test fire your laser at a low power, 5% or less, and make sure that your laser is focused to a tiny point.

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. 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. I change the steps in the firmware to 65. Then I don’t have to use the wizard. If I still want to use it, I have to enter 50.26mm per revolution there (16 * Pi). 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. If you have a Sculpfun S9, you can upgrade it to the improved x-axis mechanism from Sculpfun S10 with THIS UPGRADE KIT.

Note: The front roller is a fixed roller and cannot be moved, only the rear roller can be adjusted. Place the engraving material between the two rollers and confirm whether they are far enough apart to support your cylinder without lifting it up too high. Generally, the lower the cylinder sits, the better. 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. 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.Here is another video that explains some additional things for the workflow: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wL6tXOupQgo (LA Hobby Guy). But the “saving and loading settings”– stuff is not required if you follow my tip using macro buttons. Example The options are described in the LightBurn documentation, but it is a bit hard to understand there for non-technical users, I guess. As mentioned, when you press Test, the roller rotates the small rollers once 360 degrees. So, the object (that might be lying on it) doesn’t even move all the way around (as long as it is larger than the diameter of the driven rollers). Sliding space adjustment: SCULPFUN roller adjusts the size of the space between the two rubber rollers by sliding, and fixes the rolloer by handscrew, which is simpler and faster than the traditional multi-stage fixing hole adjustment. There is a bar that says "type gcode here," select it, type the following depending on which step you followed previously:

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. 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.

Questions & Answers

For the mathematicians among you, the value in the first case can also be derived mathematically: 40.8 = 65/80 × 50.26. That is, the ratio of steps per millimeter multiplied by the true circumference of the roll. Sculpfun Rotary
