Eliminate oblong circles and vertical stretching on the Bambu Lab H2D Laser Module. Use our interactive calculator below to correct your LightBurn steps-per-rotation or GRBL $101 commands, then download a millimeter-accurate calibration ruler SVG.
Rotary Steps-Per-Rotation (SPR) & GRBL $101 Calibrator
Preset: Bambu Lab H2D Laser Module (10W / 40W Diode)
Measure along the Y-axis (rotary circumference direction).
Enter this in LightBurn > Tools > Rotary Setup > Steps per rotation.
Safe continuous rotary perimeter without slipping: 224.7mm.
$101=100.000Always send this command in LightBurn Console after disconnecting the rotary attachment to restore flat Y-axis belt scaling.

Step-by-Step Rotary Setup & Test Burn Checklist for Bambu Lab H2D Laser Module
- Mount laser toolhead and place rotary fixture onto the magnetic alignment bed.
- Connect CAN-bus rotary link cable.
- Select 'Cylinder Marking' in Bambu Studio or export G-code to LightBurn.
- Confirm safety interlock and air-assist exhaust flow.
- Execute test square marking on test substrate.
Worked Calibration Example for Bambu Lab H2D Laser Module
Suppose you place a standard 20oz Skinny Straight Tumbler (Diameter: 73mm, Circumference: 229.34mm) onto the Bambu Lab H2D Laser Module.
You enter a commanded test square Y-height of 20mm into LightBurn with the baseline of 12800 steps/rev.
If using GRBL steps/mm, the corrected formula produces:

Bambu Lab H2D Laser Module Rotary Calibration FAQs
Q1: How do I configure the rotary attachment on the Bambu Lab H2D Laser Module in LightBurn?
To set up the Bambu Lab H2D Laser Module in LightBurn: 1) Go to Tools > Rotary Setup. 2) Select your rotary type (Chuck). 3) Enter the factory baseline: 12800 steps/rotation (or check Y-axis $101 steps/mm). 4) Enter your roller diameter (16mm) or tumbler caliper diameter. 5) Enable the 'Rotary Enabled' toggle and test frame your object.
Q2: What is the factory default rotary steps/mm or pulses/rev for the Bambu Lab H2D Laser Module?
The Bambu Lab H2D Laser Module uses a baseline of 12800 steps per revolution for chuck rotary mode, and 100 steps/mm for flatbed Y-axis movement. Drive roller diameter on factory rollers is 16mm.
Q3: How do I reset the Bambu Lab H2D Laser Module back to flat-bed laser cutting after rotary engraving?
When disconnecting the rotary attachment, disable 'Rotary Enabled' in LightBurn. For GRBL-based controllers, send the command: $101=100.000 in the Console window to restore true 1:1 flatbed Y-axis gantry movement.
Q4: What is the best way to focus the Bambu Lab H2D Laser Module on a cylindrical tumbler?
Automatic LiDAR distance mapping across cylinder surface. The focal length is 45mm with an optical spot size of 0.08mm. Always focus at the apex (highest vertical point) of the cup to ensure maximum beam energy density.
