Creality Falcon2 Pro Rotary Steps-Per-Rotation & Calibration Tool
Eliminate oblong circles and vertical stretching on the Creality Falcon2 Pro. 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: Creality Falcon2 Pro (22W / 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. Add weight (rice or water bottle inside cup) to prevent roller traction loss.
$101=80.000Always 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 Creality Falcon2 Pro
- Connect Creality Rotary Roller cable to the Y-axis stepper motor extension jack.
- Open LightBurn > Rotary Setup > select Roller > enter 15.0mm roller diameter.
- Ensure Y-axis steps per mm ($101) is set to 80.000 as base value.
- Place tumbler on rubberized rollers with counter-weights inside cup if slipping occurs.
- Run 20mm test square along Y-axis to calibrate true mm output.
Worked Calibration Example for Creality Falcon2 Pro
Suppose you place a standard 20oz Skinny Straight Tumbler (Diameter: 73mm, Circumference: 229.34mm) onto the Creality Falcon2 Pro.
You enter a commanded test square Y-height of 20mm into LightBurn with the baseline of 2560 steps/rev.
If using GRBL steps/mm, the corrected formula produces:

Creality Falcon2 Pro Rotary Calibration FAQs
Q1: How do I configure the rotary attachment on the Creality Falcon2 Pro in LightBurn?
To set up the Creality Falcon2 Pro in LightBurn: 1) Go to Tools > Rotary Setup. 2) Select your rotary type (Roller). 3) Enter the factory baseline: 2560 steps/rotation (or check Y-axis $101 steps/mm). 4) Enter your roller diameter (15mm) 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 Creality Falcon2 Pro?
The Creality Falcon2 Pro uses a baseline of 2560 steps per revolution for chuck rotary mode, and 80 steps/mm for flatbed Y-axis movement. Drive roller diameter on factory rollers is 15mm.
Q3: How do I reset the Creality Falcon2 Pro 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=80.000 in the Console window to restore true 1:1 flatbed Y-axis gantry movement.
Q4: What is the best way to focus the Creality Falcon2 Pro on a cylindrical tumbler?
Use the multi-step focus block to seat focal bar precisely 40mm above cup rim apex. The focal length is 40mm with an optical spot size of 0.1mm. Always focus at the apex (highest vertical point) of the cup to ensure maximum beam energy density.
