== Laser Parameters ==
If you want to set up the Boss LS-3655 in LightBurn or another program, here are the settings you need:
* Type: Ruida
* Connection: USB (Best to use this setting but transfer the file to computer already connect to Boss, rather than moving USB)
* 1400mm x 900mm
* Home is rear-right position
* 100W (don't think this is a configuration option, just good to know for selecting power settings per Recommended Settings)

== Software ==
* [https://lightburnsoftware.com Lightburn] - Makerspace members receive a significant discount on a license for their own computer, where they can prepare Lightburn files at their convenience. These files can later be uploaded to the laser's computer at the makerspace. Inquire on our Slack channel for more details.

Longer Nano

2024-10-01T16:50:37Z

Gryffyn: /* Links */

== 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
