Just bought the full license this morning. Really impressive what you have been able to achieve. You have made so many people's lives easier. Congrats!
I bought Lightburn last night and just looking at your videos for the first time, top marks on what I've seen so far but just one point, the version you use to demonstrate Is way behind what I have now and there are soooo many new things on my Lightburn that you don't cover. Time to get recording again 😁😁
Thanks watched 3 or so videos. I’m a bit computer dumb for better terms and just got light burn for my laser. Very helpful information and def subscribed to your Chanel. Best in-depth info I’ve found so far.
This software looks awesome. I am a glowforge user which is super easy to use, but it does not give a lot of control over the laser functions. I am thinking of getting a larger more powerful laser, and this software really makes it tempting.
I followed along with you and with a few bumps along the way finally got to where you were measuring out the size of your wood.......couldn't go any further. I just don't know what I was doing wrong. I would put in my measurements at the top, lock the lock, assign that line to T2 then the arrow/heart would turn blue. I am at my wits end. I have a Sculpfun S30. Trying to use Lightburn. :(
I have latest version of Lightburn paid subscription and not sure why I don't have the scan option in the cut window. Hard to work out settings and other things when every video I watch has different setting options.
I Really like the Results with Cross Hatch. I see the option when I created the file from within Light Burn, however if I open a .png I did not see that option. Is that because of the file extension? Or am I doing something wrong?
@@lightburnsoftware7189 No no no, it does not sucks, it drives me complete insane, I try but I can't for the life of me stand it. Have to look elsewhere for tutorials :(. Thank god your software is not as bad as your ability to make videos.
great video ! . I have a questiom about the latest version of Lightburn (0.9.19) has different cut modes like ' Line', offset fill , and fill+line. did not see any documentation on it even in the underlying help docs. any explanation on it please ? . compared to the video we see like 'Cut' etc .
Just got my laser and practicing using light burn. For some reason I only have options of: Line, Fill, Line + Fill. You have options of cut, scan, etc. My power/speed is the same for line as it is for fill. Any suggestions on what the difference is and how I can cut out?
What's ideal setting for cutting thin plastic sticky paper without burning it? Like cutting a sticker without going through the bottom wax paper. 2 separate layers.
May i ask what settiings are used to perform a wood cut out. Basically a name within a circle but i dont want the laser to cut out the name i want the wood to say the name.
Hi this is my first engraver, and I’ve never used a program like Lightburn. I set my laser up today and tried to run a test burn on a piece of wood. The laser went through all the motions, but it did not make any marks on the wood. Which settings should I check to see if it’s a user error or a lens/laser error?
Hey I need help lightburn isn't staying connected. It says there was a problem sending data to the laser. The machine my be busy or paused. I made sure the drivers are connected, right clicked device to reset the connected, even power cycle everything still not working. I'm using the ortur laser master 2
Why does mine say line and not cut? Can I change that, do I need to change that? I'm trying to cut but my laser is not cutting! im cutting while engraving. So, mine is set at line for the cut and then fill for the engraving.
Line would be the equivalent of cut. Normal operation for making a cut is line mode and then adjusting the speed, power, passes to be appropriate for cutting the desired material.
@@lightburnsoftware7189 hi sir. can it be when the gravir takes shape? for example we engrave a circle of 20cm with a line thickness of 3mm. so if the scan mode the laser moves line to line, 20cm. can the laser move in a circle with line to line, 3mm and move in a circle?
What material would you recommend for someone trying to learn this , would MDF give decent results ? , it certainly would be the most economical to learn with
Where can I find the settings to engrave aluminum? I've tried everything I can think of and I've watch your videos but nothing seems to work.... I have a CREALITY LASER FALCON ENGRAVER-10W. Btw your videos is amazing
hmmm, I would have to wonder, take an image and place it horizontally, greyscale dither it. Now take that same image and rotate it 90 degrees, move the once burned image in machine and rotate it 90 degrees also, match them up in alignment, would burning it that way create a better image due to the power dithered cross hatching? /EDIT oh, the software can do that, sort of with the scan angles... interesting. Will have to try both and see the difference, if any.
Hello I cant get my comgrowZ! to do anything it powers up but when i send any work to the laser it says that it is pause or no data can go throw please how do i reset or unpause it so data can go throw
I have a ruida and i get the burns on my images on the ends ! It doesn’t have overscanning. What do you mean that it has it in hardware ? How would you suggest i don’t get the over burning on every edge :0
In my experience cutting acrylic with diode lasers is tough. Black may be the exception and is the primary one I have seen cut on a diode. XTool does have some settings you can use as a basis www.xtool.com/pages/material-settings
Hi, pls help explain. Overscanning - this feature is available in the setting of light burn for use of Grbl - and it is hardware setting if used Ruida am I understand this correct? how do I find out on my Ruida to do this? Thansk
Need help new 100w 26x39 ruida China made engraver when I start a cut no matter what the image is text shape the laser engraver a single line help please
Nice tutorilas but it seems lightburn has changed a lot There are many things in the interface that have changed so for a beginner it gets quite confusing- That scan thing I did not find it anywhere- and there were other settings that do not appear and other that are new that I don't see in the videos- How old are these? Now that youtube has decided to hide the date in which the video have being published is quite difficult to know how old the videos are
@@lightburnsoftware7189 Awesome. Thank you for your fast response. I finally found that the date not showing on youtube is a lay out problem on some screens. I had to zoom out to 65% and I see now that they are from 2017. Quite old.
@@lightburnsoftware7189 This guy did an amazing job with lightBurn tutorials in Spanish. This year, 2022, videos ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-T7l6DBDkOxc.html You should promote his tutorial play list for Spanish speakers.
When you set multiple passes and it is only doing one can you see it running multiple passes in the preview window simulation? If you are still having issues contact our support team at support@lightburnsoftware.com
@@lightburnsoftware7189 the design of the circle is fine, the problem is in the cut, it does not end at the point where it starts and therefore the circle is deformed
Sending a job to your laser from LightBurn can be done over USB or Ethernet. An alternative to this is LightBurn Bridge if you have a Ruida based laser. I would start by watching our getting started video: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-v3RDzOrlCTM.htmlsi=CIrB43Esau6qtx5s If you are still having troubles getting the laser set up in LightBurn send the specifics of your machine and the issue you are having when trying to run a job to our team - support@lightburnsoftware.com
Yes, the line tool will let you draw Bezier Curve. There is a 30 day trial of the software available on our website if you want to test out its design capabilities.
Really liking the software. Can you tell my why all the sudden svg's are getting the traversals are powered on? Did a couple test engravings and they went fine but then the last couple svg's I imported started getting cuts where the traversal lines are. Very odd. I closed the program and deleted my preferences file and then started the program again so it was back to default but still cutting the traversal lines. I hope that makes sense. I couldn't find anything in your docs or faq.
@@lightburnsoftware7189 Hi there. I have now thru photoshop got rid of the white background on the photo. But why did the laser still not burn the photo with the settings like in the video above on lesson #3 - cut settings
@@lightburnsoftware7189 I see, thanks. I was confused with the popup "you do not have any shapes in your project set to output" When I saw that before I thought it was something other than preview. When I checked output on it worked.
Your tutorials are very hard for beginners, which I thought is what tutorials are for. You keep using the hot keys and moving so quick that I have no idea what your talking about.
uuuuf the latest version looks much different.... Lots of videos dont make much sense anymore,....... I just want to create a cut line from a vector... and then the only thing I find in videos is guys saying like yeah and then you can create a cut line.... But its not shown how lol
If you have a vector, setting the desired shape to line mode will allow you to cut (if you set the appropriate speed and power). We are actively working on revisiting these early videos to bring them up to date while also making them a bit more concise.
Is it so necessary to chew banal stuff like "lines per mm"?? I'm tired how idioticly stupid your "tutorials" - you have nothing to say?!?!!?! Just show how to import pic and burn it!! This is ALL we need from you!
