DO NOT disassemble the machine or remove any of its protective covers while the unit is plugged in. DO NOT attempt to defeat the door interlocks. DO NOT view directly into the beam of the Laser Diode Pointer (Red Dot Pointer). DO NOT operate the Laser Diode Pointer (Red Dot Pointer) without the machine’s focus lens in place.
Page 7: Fire Safety
3. Fire Safety The gweikecloud unit’s laser cuts and engraves with a beam of high-intensity infrared light. The laser can generate extremely high temperatures in the material being cut or engraved. Under some circumstances, it is possible for the material inside the gweikecloud unit to ignite and for the flame to spread outside of the area being cut or engraved.

Page 61: Lightburn Software Camera Correction Instructions
9. LightBurn Software Camera Correction Instructions LightBurn's camera feature allows you to use a USB-connected camera with LightBurn: (1)Preparation Connect the double-ended USB cable that came with the machine to the USB cable interface of gweikecloud machine and computer. Connect the other double-ended USB cable to the camera cable interface and computer.
Page 62 If a compatible USB camera is connected to your computer, it will appear in the "Camera" drop-down box. Select the camera and the camera's view will appear in the window as shown: This image is somewhat distorted because the camera used here has a fisheye lens. LightBurn will correct this, it takes some effort to set up, but it's worth it.
Page 63 (2).Camera Lens Calibration Wizard Note: This process depends only on the camera and lens, not its position in the machine - as long as the camera and calibration pattern are completely still, you do not need to have the camera in the machine to perform the lens calibration. If the calibration image cannot be kept at the proper distance to match the image shown in the monitor, you can reduce or enlarge the printed pattern.
Page 64 The view will change to include a capture button and a help image to show you how to position the printed pattern for capture. For the first capture, place the pattern in the center of the camera's field of view, with the printed side of the card pointing directly at the camera, as shown in the small view at the top.
Page 65 Above the image on the right you can see: Image : Pattern found - Score: 0.45 - Not bad! Click Next This tells you: Image was successfully captured The resolution of the captured image is 640X480 (higher is better) The image will update as you continue to capture. The first five images are the center of the view, then the bottom, left, right, and then the top.
Page 66 If you don't get it right away, you can recapture the current image, or go back to the beginning and try again. It may take a few tries to learn how to align the card with the camera to get the lowest score. When you have completed all steps and you are satisfied with a good calibration result and an undistorted image, click Finish to save the result.
Page 67 (3).Align camera and workspace Now that the camera is calibrated, you can move on to the next step, Camera Alignment - telling LightBurn where your camera is relative to the machine's workspace. From this step it is very important that the camera does not move relative to the machine. It is possible to mount the camera to a movable part of the laser, such as a cover, as long as the camera is in the same position when it is in use as it was when it was calibrated.
Page 68 Click on capture image, the captured image is displayed on the right, continue to the next step Follow the instructions in order - set the numbers correctly, use the Frame button to check that the material lines up with the cutouts, click Start when you're ready. If the clipping is not correct (too light or too strong), change the settings and try again.
Page 69 (5).Mark target On this page, you can "mark" each target by double-clicking on the center of each target in turn. You can pan and zoom the image using the same controls as the LightBurn edit and preview windows. When double-clicking, a red "+" mark appears. Place a marker in the center of the four targets, in their numbered order (1, 2, 3, 4).
Page 70 When you have placed all four markers in order, zoom out and verify that all four markers are visible and clearly centered on the target, as follows: Click Next to complete the marker placement screen, then click Finish to complete the process and store the results.
Page 71 Now that everything is aligned, open the Camera Control window again and simply click "Update Overlay" to capture and project whatever is in the camera view to your workspace, as shown:...

Page 75 (5) Open lightburn upload the drawing, set the parameters, the cutting parameters are consistent with the plane parameters, and the focal length needs to be calculated. After setting the focal length, click print to start engraving. Among them, the focal length value: focal length = 86.2-the height of the material placed on the highest point of the rotation axis from the desktop (the tool box is equipped with a height ruler, use the height ruler to measure the height)
Page 76 (7) After using the rotary axis, turn off the laser machine, open the machine cover, unplug the air plug, put the rubber cap back to its original position, turn the dip switch back to flat mode, take out the rotary axis, install the honeycomb board and drawer, and turn on the machine again to use the flat mode.
