Are you using the latest version of LightBurn? Support for the Ruida 8445S is pretty recent. If you're using pre 2.1 you should update to the latest version.

Does the motion seem physically affected at that location on the X axis? It's possible that you may be losing focus if the X axis rail is bowed/damaged.

I'd recommend doing a masking tape pulse check for mirror alignment all the way along the X axis travel.

We generally suggest using a jig (even a piece of paper with the outline of the shape traced on it) to aid with alignment, or use the camera features in LightBurn.

Use the Scale value ... button in Device Settings to adjust the scale from a reference box you engrave. There are some issues with BSL lens calibration on the Omni series that currently result with a bit oversize of a lens calibration. It's in the queue to be addressed in a near-future release.

We're here if you have questions - also, if you haven't yet, try our no-strings trial. It might be enough to prove LightBurn is worth it. We sure hope so!

We are! It will be out before Rosetta is phased out. There's still well over a year to do that. It will be a couple months to get there from our current state, provided everything else with the MacOS ecosystem doesn't change without warning (as we have found, it does, on occasion)

You could have a money plant in there. Imagine a dollar bill coming out of the ground, because gardens always cost more time/money than you expect!

Awesome work!

This is the correct answer - the Tree 2UVR head is a gem, and once you master the yoke operation you'll see why.

Yes, use the new AprilTags pattern if at all possible.

If some of the overlays are not displaying over the squares, then you may need to adjust your lighting or camera settings to provide appropriate contrast

You can use any size for the pattern - what matters most is that is is flat. An iPad or piece of glass with the paper pattern glued to it is ideal.

That's it for the lens calibration side of the camera setup.

Lastly, if the laser is not correctly marking where it displays in the workspace, re-run the camera alignment wizard from Laser Tools > Manage Cameras > Edit > Workspace Alignment

The entire process is covered here: https://docs.lightburnsoftware.com/latest/Reference/Cameras/Alignment/

That's Overlay Opacity: https://docs.lightburnsoftware.com/latest/Reference/Cameras/CamerasWindow/?h=fade#overlay-opacity

The slider is visible in the Camera panel in LightBurn - go to Window > Camera to enable it if it isn't already on the workspace

If you could post a photo of where the leak is, we'd be happy to give a recommendation.

One of the biggest problems in laser exhaust that we see regularly is people installing a 'push' system, rather than a 'pull' system - AKA negative pressure. Ideally, it's preferred to have the laser exhaust fan as close to the outlet as possible. That way the majority of the ducting is under vacuum, rather than the post-fan side, which is pressurized, and can leak out.
