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

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. Sliding adjustment of the shaft spacing: SCULPFUN roller adjusts the size of the space between the two shafts by sliding, and fixes the shaft by turning the knob by hand, which is simpler and faster than the traditional multi-stage fixing hole adjustment. Y-Axis: this one is working without additional hardware. Since the normal y-axis motor is connected to the same port, you need to physically disconnect one of them during operation (or use a switch like presented in the next chapter). You can’t connect both at the same time. 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). Note: The front roller is a fixed roller and cannot be moved, only the rear roller can be adjusted.

With LaserGRBL you can import vector files (NC, BMP, JPG, PNG, DXF…) and bitmap image files (bmp, jpg, png and gif), 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. There is a bar that says "type gcode here," select it, type the following depending on which step you followed previously: Adjust the position of the rotary axis so that your cylinder will be parallel to the Y-axis and perpendicular to the X-Axis. Step 3: Install, Connect to and Configure LaserGRBL

Questions & Answers

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).

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. Place the rotary axis in an appropriate position on the table, and connect the machine X-axis motor cable to the rotary axis stepper motor.

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. You can also expand the work surface of this machine with the Sculfpun Expansion kit, which expands the working area more than two times. We have tested the expansion kit HERE. 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).

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.

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. Another important thing: turn off homing! Homing does not work with a rotary, since the y-axis doesn’t support homing anymore if the rotary is connected (only applies if you use the y-axis for the rotary, but that is the case for 99% of the users in my experience). You don’t need to turn it off in the firmware, but just don’t use it and don’t enable automatic homing at startup. Select “current position” as “start from”option. Never use absolute coordinates. 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 rotary roller is not only easy to build but it is also pretty easy to install and configure (virtually no assembly required). Plugin and go. Adjustment of shaft spacing: The shaft spacing can be adjusted steplessly by sliding, and it can be fixed by hand-tightening screws.

Set the steps per millimeter (“steps/mm”) correctly (firmware). The LightBurn assistant is not required and is not activated. This is a perfect upgrade for expanding your engraving capabilities and adding variety to your projects. Designed to engrave tumblers and cylindrical objects with ease, this rotary roller is a must-have for any laser engraving and 3D printing enthusiast. Rotary as delivered by comgrow (plus a small manual and a small height adjusting piece to enable engraving wine-glass-shaped objects) 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) 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.Move the tensioning wheel assembly to make the synchronizing wheel under tension, and tighten the fixing bolts. Application: This machine can work with a number of different Sainsmart machines to engrave on materials with a cylindrical shape. 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" Final note: this is not meant to push anyone into donating. As I said, the wiki will be free to use and stay free as long as I can afford this passion.
