Hi there! I am trying to do your light burn files for the engraving and cutting settings and my laser won't cut or engrave? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Misiek, zaliczyłeś już wszystkie partie, więc zaczynaj nową rundkę znowu od Pisu.

Thanks!

Thanks for the crash course. Just loaded up Lightburn and this was a great jump start to get rolling. Great job. Much appreciated.

I am trying the same, did very big test grid as well, but the results what i am getting is either brown colour engraved or dipper but not the dark black colour as you are able to achieve on surface of the ply, am I doing anything wrong, or i have selected wrong material, i have selected 7mm plywood.

For glass you need just water but would you know if you would have glass school

Great video thanks.

Hi, I have been watching your videos on Lightburn. Great content. One suggestion; when you are showing a feature in Lightburn, I have a hard time finding the pointer. I was wondering if it is possible to increase the cursor (arrow) larger. I know it is possible to make it larger on Windows. Not sure if it can be made larger in Mac.

another navigation tip, if you press the scroll wheel on your mouse, you can move around that way instead of using the spacebar!

Hi, I am trying to download your free test files, and I received the welcome page in my email. However, there is no "link" to click on to receive the files at the bottom of the page. What am I missing? Thanks ...

Great vid! I'm hopeless with computers as it is, so trying to get my head around this software was really hard. This tutorial has helped a lot. Hopefully now I can get to grips with it and when my 30 day free trial expires I'll be able to purchase the license with confidence.

Everybody got to start somewhere,

Thank you so much for this! I am new to the laser world, and trying to decide on which one I actually need. I was impressed by the 10W detailing and really didn't expect it to look so good. Since my main need at the moment is cutting 5mm EVA foam faster and more accurate than I can with my exacto, I am looking more at the 20W. I don't NEED the 40, but would love to eventually have a 20 and 10 for expanding my projects later down the road. Very helpful video and information, thanks so much!

We cut Makerstock at work, so I’ve seen hundreds of panels personally and we’ve cut in the low thousands over the last 4 years. Here’s what I’ve seen, and their discounts: Surface finish is usually pretty good. There’s sawdust on the surface out of the package, so they are doing something to smooth it out before shipping The sizes are SPOT ON. The edges are smooth and always fit perfectly on our laser Some bad things, and why I’m watching videos like this: Warping can be BAD. Our extraction works as a vacuum table, so most can be held down but we’re talking .5-1” across a 20x30 panel. Climate is Southern California for reference, humidity between 60-80 at least in the summer. Knots and inclusions are ruining up to 20% of a panel about 15% of the time. This can be solved with another pass, but sometimes requires 3+ passes. The thickness varies WILDLY. We have had 2.8mm all the way up to 3.2mm between shipments. Building on the last bit, they definitely have more than 1 source since the smoke deposition will change between orders. Sometimes it’s pretty fine, sometimes it gunks up the extraction vent very quickly. We recently tried out a local lumber yard for wood and while it is cheaper, we had just as many inclusions and the surface finish was worse. I dont have a lot to compare to yet, but if you reply to this comment in a while, I’ll update :)

Showing and explaining Lightburn features really help those of us just getting started. Thanks for sharing your talents with us.

I would like plans please

Hi, I'm trying to follow the instructions in your video, but when I click on the O shape I do not get the pop up window for resizing. also I do not get the shape around the name. I have latest version of lightburn 1.6.01, what am I missing. Thank you in advance

forget sealing the enclosure, u actually dont want to do that. you NEED for air to get into it, otherwise your exhaust system doesn't do anything. Instead you want to expand your exhaust system. bigger fan, then bigger hose, going from 3" to 4" makes a big difference from 3 to 6" is even better. plus bigger fans means lower noise level.

What do you use for your business revenue?

good pointers. Keep it up.

The best way to watch this video is to watch it all the way through to the end Then Go back and make an outline with pen and paper, then retype my notes. This provides me with a three-step approach to the video. I taped the video for review purposes and then watched the individual segments. As I watched the segments I set up a picture in Lightburn and did the steps with the video. This is one of the best videos I have seen and used to engrave photos usingLIghtburn.

is your hot air balloon images available on your web site? I was going to follow along with your tutorial - enjoyed making the key rings. Will be watching most of your videos going forwards!

Great video

You mention Xtool 'customer support'. Not so good when you have a warranty claim - to say the least it was long and painful. I had laser head failure.

Xtool D1 pro 10W - After 6 months the laser head failed. Warranty replacement took 3 weeks to resolve. Many emails repeatedly sending info I had previously supplied. Then they did nothing for a week during 'spring break'. While waiting, I purchased a Roly MK2 20W - great machine.

i have a vevor 5w laser is this information for these machines as well please ?

Great video. I have been using Lightburn for photo engraving for a couple of years now and I too started with the research and guess method. I learned a couple of new things from your video. Thank you. Two questions, did you do any image adjustments, in Lightburn, to the photo? Do you find that by following your steps, you don't have to do image adjustments?

Hi Asher, when i run the test my boxes are just outlined not filled in . What am i doing wrong? Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you, this was exactly what I needed…plus it was $10 off right now. I tried to mod my airbrush compressor, but these results look much better. Thanks!

The 90 Degree hot key was clutch...

are you running 10w or 20w laser

Really great video, I’m a newbie with all this and I really liked how you made the chart with air and no air and speeds. How did you do that is there a way you could share that with me?

You want to make money on CZcams but aren’t transparent in your Etsy business. Wouldn’t buy from you or subscribe to this , also circle back is a huge no no phrase - big red jen saki you lost me there as an American. I’m not circling back to your un info bull. You could be Biden’s press secretary lol. That’s how the info was in this crap non info video. I’ll circle back to better content.

To much information. Can you do a simplified version of this video PLEASE.

Where do you adjust step 6 image mode?

It’s interesting that you found so many issues with the Home Depot plywoods. I have cut thousands of these panels and only had a couple with defects, veneer wrinkles. Yes some are warped but warping can happen to the best woods. Temperature, shipping, storage all impact this issue. Great information about the options.

Excellent video! Helped me a lot :) thank you

I want plans. Please Thanks in advance

Great content! One question- why do you use mm/min? mm/sec is the natural SI value...

The test samples do not open in lightburn

I don't have any of the options below the tape measure in the tool bar on the left. Do you know how I can get these?

This was a really great intro to LightBurn. Thank you for this! Now if I could just get LightBurn to 'see' my engraver... I know my laptop sees it because I see it showing up in device manager.

Looks like EXACTLY what the doctor ordered for my newbie learning curve. Looking forward to following these procedures in the coming days!

Super helpful to me - thanks! What, if any, product you do use to finish this? Do you lightly sand & apply a poly (maybe satin sheen)?

I am new but i would try painting first then cutting, or figuring out how to cut white craft foam or acrylic

Plans please

so this is my first attempt at using lightburn and i have about 2 days worth of experience with lasers. i have the xtool d1pro 2.0 10w. as i watched this video i did not notice where you told LB what material or the thickness of it. is that info not needed in LB?
