How to Set Up the Rotary Attachment with Slide Extension on Lumos Ultra

July 20, 2026

Before you begin, make sure:

Your Lumos Ultra is powered off and unplugged.
You have a clean, flat work surface.
All required components (slide extension, mounting base, rotary attachment, screws, and cables) are within reach.

Remove Center Screws: Use a Phillips screwdriver to remove the four screws located in the center of the slide extension working panel. Set the screws aside in a safe place.
Remove Panel: Carefully lift and remove the main working panel to expose the slide extension’s internal rail system. Place the panel in a clean, safe area to avoid scratches or damage.

Align Mounting Base: Position the mounting base onto the slide extension rail. Make sure it aligns perfectly with the pre-drilled screw holes on the rail.
Secure the Base: Use the four long screws provided to fasten the mounting base to the rail. Tighten them securely using a screwdriver to prevent any movement or wobbling during operation.

Position Rotary: Flip the rotary attachment over and align it with the locating pin on the mounting base you just installed.
Secure Rotary: Insert a screw into the left-side hole and tighten it.

Turn the slide extension over and align the screw holes and insert the L-shaped bracket.

Position the Slider: Place the entire slide extension assembly onto the machine’s base. Align the screw holes and fix the slider with screws.
Connect Cables:
- Plug the rotary motor cable into the Rotary port on the back of the machine.
- Use the other cable to connect the slider to the machine, then plug the remaining end into the Slider port on the back of the machine.
Use the appropriate jaws to hold the object you want to engrave.
Power and Data:
- Turn on the power switch on the back of the machine.
- Connect the USB cable from the machine to your computer to establish a software connection. For best results, use a direct USB port on your computer.

Select Mode: In the WeCreat MakeIt software, go to the mode dropdown menu and select “Auto slider + Rotary”.
Initialize: Click the Initialize button. The slider will move to its home position. Wait for the movement to stop completely before proceeding.
Refresh Canvas: Click Refresh to update the camera view. The software should now display the current working area, including your material in the correct position on the canvas.
Turn the silver knob on the side of the machine until the two red dots converge and overlap perfectly into a single dot on the surface of the material.
