4.1 How It Works: Canvas

The canvas in the Luban equals the lateral area of your material. After you input the diameter and length of your material, Luban will adjust the size of the canvas. You should put your object within the canvas. The highlighted area is where the material is clamped by the 3-jaw Chuck.

4.2 How to Generate the G-code File

The following steps instruct you to generate the G-code file with Luban 4.0.0.

① Launch the Snapmaker Luban. On the Home window, hover the selection arrow over the Laser G-code Generator  on the Get Started pane and click 4-axis.

② On the Job Setup pop-up window, input the length and diameter of your material and click Confirm.

③ On the left toolbar, click to import an object from your local computer.

④ Click to select the object on the canvas, edit the object based on your need, and then click Next.

⑤ Click to select the object on the canvas, and then click Create Toolpath on the Process panel. On the Toolpath Settings pop-up window, use the default configurations and click Save.

⑥ Click Generate G-code and Preview to check the toolpath.
