The lid limit switch is located rear left side of the machine. Make sure the switch is engaged and restart. Better yet, reposition the switch so it is always depressed when the lid is closed.

LaserCut software assumes 1 unit of your DXF file is 1 mm. Best practice is to export your drawing from your CAD file to DXF in mm. Other units (px, inches, au etc) will be ignored. Helpful tip - add a 1 inch by 1 inch square box to your original drawing. Once imported to LaserCut, scale the box (right click on box line) so the box is 24.5mm by 24.5mm.
