An easy way to use lightburn in combination with Easel to create a CNC file. I use this to reproduce designs that I already have.
For templates that I have made, check out my Etsy shop. I build files for projects and tools for laser engravers.

Thank you for the demonstration. Even the errors and challenges. Helpful to see you wirk through potential solutions.

Thanks..

Neodymium magnets will definitely do the trick.

@TheClackShack 6 месяцев назад

Yep

Nice video. I have both the X40 Pro Max (still in box) and the same CNC. The CNC has been setup in the shop for months and I’ve never used it. I’m pretty good with Lightburn and laser cutting/engraving. This video has sparked my interest into actually using the CNC.

@TheClackShack 6 месяцев назад

It adds another level of making to the laser. Enjoy

@fredericj.208 6 месяцев назад

I agree with you. Easel is very good for beginners. When I bought my CNC 2 years ago, I really wanted to use V-Carve but it was overwhelming as I had to learn both the CNC and the software. A year later I switched to V-Carve after I feel confident with my CNC machine. Santa just got me a laser engraver and I need to start learning from the start again. That's how I found you channel. Thanks & Happy new year!

@TheClackShack 6 месяцев назад

The transition shouldn't be too bad. Lasers are easier in my book. Enjoy..

@QuiltersHandyman 6 месяцев назад

I own Aspire the big brother of Vcarve and have had it for several years. It took awhile to understand it but there great support for learning it. I use it all the time for processing 2d files for my three xtool lasers.

I use light burn for my cnc work too.

Nice!

Man! You are getting diversified. CNC and lasers, what’s next PLA?

@TheClackShack 6 месяцев назад

Already printing in PLA...

I love how those came out. Those magnets are very soft, if you use a drill go slow, I would hate for the projects to get ruined.

@TheClackShack 6 месяцев назад

I am pretty sure I can get them out, I have better ones ordered.

@terryh5677 6 месяцев назад

I appreciate your video brother. Now I have to get a CNC. lol The project looks much better using the CNC.

@TheClackShack 6 месяцев назад

It is just one more method of making... Thanks.

@Vintauri 6 месяцев назад

Fun stuff. Get some 6mm x 3mm rare earth magnets that will work well in 3mm or 1/8" material or you can stack two for 1/4" material. They will also be much smaller in diameter to take up less space on the inside of the box.

@TheClackShack 6 месяцев назад

I ordered some for the future

You can make a design in inkscape and then create a gbrl file under extensions grblfile.

@TheClackShack 6 месяцев назад

There are lots of ways.

@slhasebroock 6 месяцев назад

Cool! As I am getting better and better with LB.

@TheClackShack 6 месяцев назад

Keep it up

@merrillalbury8214 6 месяцев назад

Note, best to use smaller rare earth magnets unless you want it to REALLY hold tight.

@TheClackShack 6 месяцев назад

Yep

@karlriley1314 6 месяцев назад

Magnets need to be rare earth magnets.

Happy new year to you and your family, I noticed that you are using mm per second my Ortur is using mm per minute can this be converted in lightburn. Many Thanks Steven.

@TheClackShack 6 месяцев назад

You can change it in lightburn. Or just divide or multiply by 60

@JackInTheShop 6 месяцев назад

I do designs in LB and save as SVG to go to Fusion for 3D print. Easier that way.

@TheClackShack 6 месяцев назад

My feeling as well

@srflow2 6 месяцев назад

Dave, great video. I do have a question on a different topic. I just got a new laptop. And I purchase alot of svg files from Etsy. I download and copy and paste into lightburn. Unfortunately this new windows 11 has no copy and paste option. Any suggestions? Thanks

@TheClackShack 6 месяцев назад

It has the capability it just uses icons. Look up at the top when right clicking and you will see what looks like scissors snd two sheets of paper. That is cut and copy. If you don't wanna use the icons, CTL+C is copy and CTL+V is paste. You can also change the layout and make it look more classic.

@srflow2 6 месяцев назад

That icon is not on my screen, and control C doesn’t do anything. Not sure what’s going on.

Hey, I also have the Atomstack x40 Max. Can you tell what camera you use for material alignment?

I use a 180 degree fisheye that I mount in the 3D printed or laser cut enclosures in my Etsy shop. amzn.to/3vjxxO0 theclackshack.etsy.com/listing/1569815522/board-camera-enclosure-3d-print-file

High Clack, this subscriber needs some assistance, I have acquired an Atezer P20 and purchased light burn and installed same on the computer, the Lightburn display only has the "move" panel on the display and I cannot determine how to get the laser panel to appear in order to select devices. I appreciate any guidance you may provide. thanks

@TheClackShack 5 месяцев назад

There is a "restore default view" function that may help. The display differs based on your resolution
