New member here. Apparently this is the only forum I'm allowed to post in?
Just received a Kehuilaser 55 x 35-1/2 Inches 130W CO2 Laser Engraver and Cutter Machine.
I'm located in Greenville SC and working with a local MakerSpace here. I mainly do 3D printing and some occasional laser engraving as a hobby.

Welcome Allan- please look at our FAQ section and if you have not... record your Vendor and user settings for future problems. I think you can only post the first time in this forum and it looks like you were successful after the first post? There are a lot of creepy-crawly things around the internet and a lot of people sign up and never participate and this is our way of weeding out the peeps who are not going to engage.

I responded to your other post and I am sure if other people have had problems with Ruida software they will post them but I have not. Alto Pete and I are still on V.18 &.19 and I have pretty much switched over to Lightburn which was developed by one of our members and is rock solid. Gene

I think that stuff was required in the survey to sign up. It's not actually my printer, it belongs to the MakerSpace, so I'm not sure about the vendor TBH. My guess is Alibaba or ToolOTS. I could find out as I will be helping to get it working initially. It's this machine though:

The user settings are a work in progress (and I'm not entirely sure what you mean TBH).

Thanks for the info. Yes I tried something with Lightburn and it worked great. The thing is I already have a vector graphics image developed in CorelDraw that I'd like to engrave. Seemed to work better printing straight from Corel on our other machine. I think I'd prefer to use a printer driver for that reason but haven't been able to get that working with this one yet. Maybe Lightburn would work better? I don't know, I'm not that comfortable with using it yet.

I understand from the mighty Oz that he has a Corel link similar to the Ruida link... I don't use Corel so I cannot help there.

Would be great if I could get my hands on it!

EDIT: Maybe this would work:

There's also this:

Still a direct printer driver would be the simplest.
