Lightburn is an amazing software. I want to give a special thank you to all the first responders and to our military.

Another great video. I hadn’t done text on a curve In Lightburn yet. Maybe I’m heavy with my marking, but I’ve started using a piece of blue tape in the center to make my center mark. Once I’m center I pull the tape.

Hello, and thanks for the great videos. I just bought a Xtool D1 Pro 20w and I have a few questions for you. 1. I see that you have gotten a nice dark burn on this project using a 20w. At the same time, your burn doesn't look deep. It almost looks flush with the unburned areas. It that just the way I'm seeing it due to camera angels or is there really no depth to your burn on this? I used your pine setting of 60in/min at 70power and I got a lot of depth. Just wondering if there is a way to get a dark burn without so much depth. 2. How do you clean and finish the wood after it has finished a burn? Clean off the burned residue (vinegar, water, denatured alcohol, etc) seal it (oil/poly/shellac/etc.?) 3. Do you know how to lower the brightness of the crosshairs on the laser. It is so bright when trying to line up my start point, that I can't tell if it is actually on it or just close to it. I am using lightburn. Or is there a way to change the reference laser to just a point and not crosshairs? I think either one would be helpful. Thanks.

Phil - really enjoy all of your content. Very helpful in both the CNC world and Laser Engravers (my new hobbies in retirement).

@timbo713 2 дня назад

Would the settings be the same on a xtool d1 pro 10 watt or would it be better to run at 100 power and say 70 speed ? Beautiful job by the way

@poti2875 Год назад

nice tutorial.. i have some question, my situation is like this, i'm engraving a 35mm diameter wood keychain. the designs are different from each other. I tried to put 5 designs in LB for 5pcs keychain but i can't make LB frame individual designs. can LB frame individual design so i can place the keychain properly? what i do is is place 1 design and evgrave, then after that replace new one and engrave. that's a lot of work to do if i engrave a lot of it, so i want it to atleast place designs at once.

@mattprewitt7438 Год назад

how did you bring in the eagle. When I try to bring in a second file it wants to close the first one first.

Hi Paw Paw love your videos !! do you have a segment on how to import a photo e.g. (My Mother) and burn it onto a piece of wood along with her handwriting ? also is it possible to do it on my xcarve CNC machine and carve it using easel ?

@PawPawsWorkShop 2 года назад

I started with the Navy logo. I kept the rope circle, then modified the stars to clean it up and added it into the center circle. I also modified the eagle to fit. Of course, the text was removed and replaced. It was a lot of work yet a lot of fun to see the final results

Hello Paw Paw, first, thanks for your videos. I have a question: When I open some PNG file in LightBurn, then I create a circle around the drawing, thus getting two layers, the png drawing and the circle layer, however, in the Mode tab of the drawing, only appears written Image but, Line, Fill, Fill + Line do not appear; Do you have any idea what it might be? Thank you

You don’t. That is the reason for the color. You turn off the show and you turn off the output

Great video but one critique. You can just hit the delete key once you have your item selected instead of doing a right click and cut. It saves you a couple of clicks.

Paw Paw please help. I’ve been CNC bit engraving for w while now and love it. I just started laser engraving but Having trouble with text. If I fill text it comes out to grainy a burn on the wood and if I line but don’t want cut out, (just want outline of letters)it shows all the tool paths burned to the project to?? How do I fix this Thank you for your help

@robertstrickland1979 2 года назад

I am trying to make a sign similar to this i got the text in the circle but i cant seem to delete the circle holding the text, i might have missed that in the video

@PawPawsWorkShop 2 года назад

In the cut/layers you can put the text on one layer and the circle that the text is anchored to on another layer. Then just turn off the circle for output and show

@seagnatprepper9613 Год назад

Fairly new subscriber .... I'm having trouble putting my text on the circle so its set up to be on top of circle .. mine keeps coming up for bottom of circle if that makes any sense. What am I doing wrong? Thanks .. Nat

@PawPawsWorkShop Год назад

Are you using Lightburn? If so, you have little handles to enlarge, rotate, and more. Type out your text. Highlight the text look for the little handles on the outer edges. One handle is just a little inside of the others with a curve. With this you can match the curve of the circle

@SimplySellers202 2 года назад

Is it possible to just hit the delete key to get rid of the item?. I prefer that method in inkscape rather than constantly right clicking. I realize you may be right clicking so everyone can see exactly what your doing.

@PawPawsWorkShop 2 года назад

Yes, you can do that also.

@derekjenkinson8014 Год назад

Why didn’t you use the centralising function, to ensure the circle elements all had the same centre?

@PawPawsWorkShop Год назад

Sometimes the various elements will all go to the center ruining the project

@8mmmauser896 2 года назад

How would you invert an image to burn?

@PawPawsWorkShop 2 года назад

The easiest way is in Inkscape. Take you image, make a copy. Fill the space. In edit nodes delete any in the center. You will be left with the solid image. With both images on top each other select difference. It will subtract the line out leaving the inverted image

@8mmmauser896 2 года назад

@@PawPawsWorkShop i guess invert is the wrong adjective, i need to flip the image upside down because I don't have enough bed space to burn the image the correct way so i flipped the board 180 so i would need the image to be flipped 180 to match up

you forgot to show how to delete the path after you apply the text to it. so it dont show when lasered.

@PawPawsWorkShop 2 года назад

In the cut settings, you have the little toggle switches the output needs to be off. The laser will not engrave. You also have a little toggle switch off for show. It hides the toolpath from view. I too am a RC pilot. The only problem is the local club lost the flying field and the next closest club is about sixty miles away.
