Technical Specifications
Nano
- Laser Type: 450nm blue light diode laser
- Power: 6W
- Aiming mechanism: "a glass" bends the laser night according to Kickstarter, generally described as a galvo versus traditional X/Y carriage
- "0.05 x 0.05mm Precision" (product landing page) (does this mean 1270 dpi?.. 25.4 mm per inch / 0.05)
- Max Speed: 600mm/s
- Working Area: 100mm x 100mm extendable to 100mm x 300mm with extension
- Preview speed: 17000mm/s
- Thickest cut: 4mm
- Gold/Silver can ben engraved by first applying paint and an oxidizing layer (according to Kickstarter)
- Transparent acrylic: Engraving not recommended but can paint it black first with a pen (according to Kickstarter). 450nm diode lasers apparently have issues with transparent materials without coating
Nano Pro
- Laser Type: 450nm blue light diode laser
- Power: 12W
- Aiming mechanism: "a special lens" bends the light according to Kickstarter, generally described as a galvo versus traditional X/Y carriage
- "0.02 x 0.02mm Precision with field lens" (product landing page) (does this mean 1270 dpi?.. 25.4 mm per inch / 0.02)
- Max Speed: 2200mm/s
- Working Area: 100mm x 100mm extendable to 100mm x 300mm with extension
- Preview speed: 17000mm/s
- Thickest cut: 8.5mm
- Gold/Silver can ben engraved by first applying paint and an oxidizing layer (according to Kickstarter)
- Transparent acrylic: Engraving not recommended but can paint it black first with a pen (according to Kickstarter). 450nm diode lasers apparently have issues with transparent materials without coating
Software Configurations
LightBurn
- Before Oct 1, 2024, you would buy the GCODE/GRBL version, after Oct 1, 2024, you want the LightBurn Core product
Initial Setup
- Automatic Configuration: Load the proper LightBurn lbdev configuration file for your device
- Manual Configuration:
- Laser or Controller: GRBL
- Connect via Serial/USB
- Give it a name and X Axis = 100mm, Y Axis = 100mm
- Origin: Front Left, Auto "home" on startup disabled
- You may need to select the correct COM port
Quick Setup Files
