Thanks for watching - Věda a technologie
Thanks you’re very talented,I relayed on your instructions and I was successful on installing my machine
Thanks
Thanks for your tips the driver tip worked perfect!
thank you so much again! This video is really helpful!
Super helpful! Thanks for your work :D
I have purchased a Neje Max4 and having major problems with this machine. Can you recommend where I can obtain the lbset and lbdev files for this machine. Any help would be greatly appreciated
I just got a neje 3 max and have tried what you have suggested but the console doesn't connect. Lightburn says it is ready but the laser does not move. Can you help me?
Hi,I have the neje master 2s,the laser power is lower when using lightburn, even though my settings in lightburn is set to 100%,plus one of the axis goes the opposite way,can you assist me please.
Good video but I can't download the setup files any thoughts? No ad blocker and tried 2 different browsers.
Hello and a very big thank you for your videos ! I have just bought a Neje 3 plus and it keeps bumping in the frame when I'm trying to set it up with lightburn. Is there somewhere a configuration file for this mahine you could point me to ?
I'm trying to install my NEJE 3 Max, and this video isn't getting lightburn connected, Do you have any words of advice since it looks like you have the same one?
Thanks for your video. I have a Neje Lasermaster 2s and connected to my MacBook Pro.
Everything works fine, GRBL and drivers installed and connected.
I can move and control everything, only problem is that I don't have a laserburn.
Checked all the setting and it should be fine.
The laser follows the path of the shape to be cut but only with a small bleu light
All power controls checked.
Laser is normal functional when I use the Neje app, but I need to cut Gcode files.
Any idea???
Hi, Duke & Sons Leather; thank you for your comment.
The machine has 2 microcontrollers; one works with Neje's proprietary software, which seems to be working at this point, and the other is the GRBL microcontroller which is supposed to work with LaserGRBL, LightBurn and other GRBL-based software.
Have you used my config files for the setup in LightBurn? if not, either try using my file or check if in the GRBL configuration under Edit > Machine Settings > Homing and Limits, the parameter $30 and $31 are set to 1000 and 1, respectively.
If that does not work, try updating the firmware using the neje_grbl_uploader app available at neje.wiki/doku.php?id=nejelaser_master_2s (check at the bottom of the page)
Once you do this, you may need to repeat the config process in LightBurn.
Let me know.

Hey mate do you have any fixes for hooking up a neje max 2 to windows 11? The driver that you suggest in your video doesn’t seem to work. Thanks
Hi, Brad Suriani; thank you for your comment.
Unfortunately, the second series without S is problematic, and it works for some, and for some, it doesn't. This concerns NEJE's old implementation of the GRBL chipset in their boards.

My machine has been sitting since the last time I tried lightburn and failed I've just tried again and it's working and going to the home position far left top corner but when it's done burning it goes to the front left and crashes I have to hit stop before it happens ugh can you help me do you know why it is doing this
Hi, 831 fpv, I now see this comment, but I have already replied to your previous one.
Ciao
Do u know maybe how and where change home speed?
Hello Darko Tomac, thank you for your comment,
The Homing Speed is called Homing seek rate, in LightBurn this can be found under Edit > Machine Settings > Homing and Limits > Homing seek rate (fast) (mm/min) ($25) here you can raise or lower the speed as you wish.
I hope it helps.
Ciao
Would I have the same problem on a Mac?
Yes you will. I can only get my iPhone iOS 15.4 to control my NEJE via the NEJE Wireless app.
Hello Abbo Fun, thank you for your comment.
I have no experience with Mac, however, the problem is the machine, therefore I am more than certain that the same issue will replicate on Mac too.
I guess the same process can be applied to Mac.
Ciao
Hello Joe Eskridge, thank you for your feedback.
May you tell me more about your problem? Aren't you able to work with your Mac at all?
Ciao
Your homesite Done works?
Hi, thank you for your comment.
I am sorry for the inconvenience.
Unfortunately, I found that my site was down, but now is back online.
Ciao
Nej mini 2 ??? Its possible ??
Hi, thank you for your comment.
If I remember correctly this works only for laser series 2s, therefore it may not work for your machine.
I hope it helps.
Ciao
It seems your "Download Files" link is broken
Hi, thank you for your comment.
The link is back to work.
Ciao
I'm not sure it is me or something else but download files (Device settings file) is not working
Thank you for a good informative channel 😀 @@MiddleRoomWorkshop
Hi, thank you for your feedback.
This file used to work with the 2s series of machines, but some older versions of the same machine won't work.
I know that some people find themselves with a machine that actually runs on an older mainboard and won't work.
If you already installed the Driver CH340, go to the tasks manager and make sure that while attempting to connect to Lightburn, the NEJE software is actually not running as this may keep the port busy.
If all this does not work then there is not much that can be done
Ciao
@middleroomworkshop is your site down?
I need setting for 2s max
Hi Karim Mahi, thank you for your comment.
For a 2s max, you should find someone with the same machine to get the files, but since it is the bigger brother of the 2S Plus, you can follow the same instruction from the video, then go to "Device Settings" and change the "Work Size" to the dimension of your machine.
That should do the trick.
Let me know how it goes.
Ciao
I've got mine to work but at a 100 percent it hardly even marks the wood
Hi, 831 fpv; thank you for your comment.
Check under machine settings the parameter $30 and make sure it is set to 1000.
Alternatively, you may need to clean the optics of your laser module.
Here I got a video showing that.
czcams.com/video/hQsFa5mKJK0/video.html
I hope it helps

@Middle Room Workshop ok thanks I'm sure it's not the lens because I just put a new laser head on it and I've only used it twice since then and I was using the cheapy neje software lol it really runs rough on the neje software and you can't cut on the neje software either thanks I'm sure your information is going to work for me also do you know how to set my settings so it returns to the home position after it's done engraving because mine goes to the front left and crashes I have to be there to hit stop and return to home position
Hi, 831 fpv; if you use air assist, the lens may get fogged by the condense after a single use; therefore, I would recommend checking that out if all is fine from the software side.
Regarding the Homing issue, try to check in the Device settings if the machine dimension is set correctly at 255mm and 420mm. In case the size is correct, reduce the y-axis to 410 or 400mm. Some machines have some greater deviation, meaning that are effectively smaller than the advertised working area.
Let me know,
Ciao
@Middle Room Workshop wow how did I miss this reply sorry I'm an idiot and thanks for helping me out have a great day 😀
Is everything OK in there
Doesn't work for me I'm afraid. Still does not detect my master 2
Hi, steveos111; thank you for your comment.
What version is your Master 2?
I was reported by other users owning the same model that would not work with LightBurn.
In some instances, that turn out because of an old hardware version.
Anyway, we can try to troubleshoot the problem.
Does the machine work with the NEJE application?
Have you tried to use the machine with LaserGRBL? This will help identify if the problem is on the board, as these machines have two processing units; one dedicated to GRBL and the other to NEJE native apps.
Let me know
Ciao
Hi there and thank you for getting back to me.
I have now managed to get lightburn to work with my Neje master 2. The auto detect does not work but the laser makes a noise and slight movement during the auto detect attempt so its obvious that lightburn can detect the laser in some respect.
I first updated the firmware to the latest version from the neje site.
I then imported this profile which is for a Master 2 plus 30w. forum.lightburnsoftware.com/t/neje-master-2s-max-speed-settings/42757
This profile works just fine although you do have to change the "Y direction Invert" from true to false in Machine settings otherwise you get a mirror image when engraving.
You also have to change the engraving area size in the laser profile which in the case of the Master 2 is 170mm x 170mm
Auto home does not work on startup so just remember to push the laser all the way to the back/left on startup and then Lightburn knows exactly where you head is. The laser head movement tool then works perfectly and even returns to origin once the engraving has finished!
Thank you for your help and i hope this helps anyone with a Neje master 2.
I now have to set up my brand new Atomstack A20 pro! :-)
Hi, steveos111; Thank you for your feedback.
I am glad that you have already solved your problem. Unfortunately, this machine shares in common this pairing issue regarding LightBurn.
Thank you also for sharing your experience; this can be a valuable help for other people in the same situation.
Wishing you good luck with your hobby and your newly acquired machine.
Ready to help if you need some assistance.
Ciao
I need for Mac book
Hello SALAH SALIM, thank you for your comment.
I am not a Mac user, but I believe that the process will be pretty much the same.
Just download the MAC version of the driver, than you can use the same setting files provided for download in my blog.
Let me know.
Ciao
Great video.
Burn pronounce with the sound 'e'
not barn. Barn is another thing 🙂
We are so lucky to have people willing to help, regardless of language skills.😊
