This is a great video. When you change material and/or design you always need to tweak your min max settings to get the best results. There's no short cut. So you need your scrap material always in hand.

Thanks for the update.

Thank you so much!!! Just for a newbie like me!l. Thanks again.

You can use vinegar and a paper towelto clean up the letters. The vinegar dries without showing a "wet area" to worry about. Nice box for my collection of hats, too.

Just released an update to,show you that

Thanks!

This was an excellent video. Just the detail I need to keep learning LB.

Second question is what type of wood did you use?

I'm attempting to design this in LB as you go. On the side pieces, the offset, how do you do just the three sides for the offset?

I have my settings both Engrave and Cut for Plywood. How do I add Acrylic settings following this?

Thank you for the efforts in explaining important concept and working of laser turning on/off on same color lines. Very helpful :)

Always come back to you when I need help with lightburn. You are the best! Thank you!

SUPER nice video Thankyou

Of my air compressor only has 1/4” connections would there be any benefit to running a 1/2” hose with an adapter?

I did it. I figured out how to name and store my files into just on Materials Library and have it backed up. I sent email re Zoom to you addy.

Can you show us this with a circle?

Excellent video, very good examples! On reciprocating air compressors used for multiple tools I’ll mention, most if not all are designed for a maximum 50/50 duty cycle in order for the pump to cool. In addition compressed air produced under excessive heat will produce more moisture.

I’ve noticed the middle of my honeycomb bed is sagging 1-2mm, but the four corners and slates are level with the laser head. I’m not sure what to do with that. 😢

What are you using to hold your jig down?

I have created a Materials Library with Engraved settings and saved to my Desktop. What is the next step for adding Cut settings below the saved Engrave settings?

Hello, I'm new to laser engraving and I subscribed to your channel. I'm getting educated from your videos. How do you move your laser freely as you did in this video? Thank you

I am just now getting back to your Generating Materials Library video. Today I downloaded from the Internet a 100w Materials Library. I am hoping it will it give me a ballpark idea as to etch/cut/engrave settings that will work on my Rudia 100w laser (my brother restored and has it in my garage and operational). I am going to generate a Materials library while following your video. I have an extensive Art Library, thanks to another of your videos.

When you operate from controller to you still put files in art library?

I am just getting around to understanding Origin settings. This tutorial is spot on! As usual, I have to go through a tutorial several times to get the details implanted in my head. Do you usually leave Cut Select Graphic and Use Selection Origin on when designing your file? Tomorrow I am going to research your tutorials for one on understand Optimize Cut path. Thanks to you providing details that I could not find elsewhere. Lucie

A friend built 2 of these for our new shop. Easy to follow directions, sturdy cart. Thanks!

I'm late to the party, but I have a question. I just bought a creality 40 watt laser. I am trying to learn and obviously there is a curve involved. I was looking into the minimum power and how to determine where it simply will not engrave. My issue is that when I draw a box in lightburn , there is no option for minimum power, only maximum. I only have that option when I have an image being set up to burn. Is there any possibility that you may be able to give me any guidance on how to make the determination?

In Lightburn I place Etch before Cut. When I run file from Controller, it cuts before etching?

What I learned today: Best not to use characters/spaces when naming a RD file!

Does the step per rotation change when you change size of cups. Or does the step per rotation remain the same now matter the size of cup.

I actually came onto your CZcams today to see if you had a video on how to make bullet points on a template to dial in the positioning on the bed for templates. I got some coasters. Then I came onto this video and ended up watching this whole thing. Now back on task.

Since I already use CAD software like Solidworks and Fusion 360 could one create the layout and save as a dxf or other supported formats that Lightburn uses to import that? I don't know Lightburn as I am awaiting delivery of my fiber laser now. Thanks for the great tutorials btw!

Okay, we are both too old to be changing to mm. How do I change the Controller from mm to inches.

I stewed all night...how do I ???????? First question I had was how to delete files, can I do it in Lightburn, YES. Easy Peasy! Oooops, must have to be connected to Controller to see the list. Coffee first. Back with coffee. I inserted the flash drive into UDisk port and twisted red knob on top of laser to turn it on. So far, so good. Remove flash drive from Controller and insert in Desktop, bring up file list? But then I am not connected to Controller? I can see where this is a two person operation. Waiting on little sister to come over with her laptop. We will then let brother sleep in before calling him to come over and give us another run through.

Oh Boy. Our brother has our CO2 laser restored and running. It is in my garage. First surprise, I must remember to put my flash drive in the G something port (located on the right hand size of laser. The laser was about three inches from wall; can't see ports. Call brother, over he comes and wheels laser away from wall. He gave us a quick run through on how to load and run a file and LEFT us on our own! So...we go shopping before starting our adventure. Just to see how much we remember. Inserted flash drive in G something port. Turn red knob on top. Yeah, machine is ready to go. That's it!

I am assuming that Lightburn now uses "Offset Fill" instead of Line and Fill as shown in this video, am I correct?

As usual a great tutorial, thank you.

I appreciate your video. For some reason when I move the test rectangle down to test another line to see if the graphic meets up, the rectangle does not move farther down the cup. I've sent the file to the machine multiple time and the laser frames in the same spot every time. My origin is set on the center of the graphic. Any help would be appreciated!

Really pleasant information, Sir. Considering as well to get a hands on one of mopa fiber. So your information is good addition.

Great video. My Fiber Laser is arriving next week. Where is a good source for slate?

Giving away the secrets, this is one of the most important features to understand but is hardly ever mentioned. If you watched this video, you are ahead of most laser enthusiasts. Great video!

where do i adjust this for a blue diode?

Thank you, I had a job on a rotary that I needed to make darker, the mug was displaced, I suppose your tip and this tool would work to re-align and reprint over the previous lighter print.

How do you get the layers to snap to the middle of another?

Off Topic. I tried Googling this. Is there a difference in how to etch and engrave on tiles. Do you need to paint tiles?

2024 still picking up great tips here and there - thank you!

I came looking for an answer and I found it! Thank you!

Thank you! Now I am searching for how to change the focus! Great video!

Really valuable info, thankyou very much

You never covered CUT SELECTED GRAPHICS. My laser runs but does not put out enough power to even engrave (like its doing a simulated preview) how do I tell it the power and speed when I use this? :( I am using a 10w LongerRay 5

Thank you very much!!!
