Hi Gil, I tried this with 80 names and I think I overloaded it. While waiting, I gained 30 lbs and had two birthdays and my cat died of old age.

@vanduraful Год назад

I never understood it needed a box to import with the shapes. It all makes sense now! Thank you!

@LaserLivestream Год назад

It was something I discovered through trial and error. Seems that without the box defining the area, the site didn’t know what the area to work with was… 🤷

@vanduraful Год назад

@@LaserLivestream seems like something that would be easy for the site or lightburn to explain..

Thank you for the feedback CR! :)

@SUNRISE-ADVENTURES 2 года назад

GREAT VIDEO!!! We have been waiting for this!!

@LaserLivestream 2 года назад

Glad to hear. I think nesting will be a game change for Lightburn, with more functionality in the area offered in the future! What will you be using nesting to achieve with your laser?

@gustavotavares5233 2 года назад

to fix issue of missing inside shapes use export button instead of nest button and than use SVGnest.

@LaserLivestream 2 года назад

Interesting work around. Will try it out and see what the results are!

@stuartmcmillan284 2 года назад

Thanks Gil, Very interesting feature. Will defiantly have to try it out 👍

@LaserLivestream 2 года назад

Thank you Stuart 🙏 Love to see your results!

@pjbpennings 2 года назад

Hi Gil, nice video again. I have used svgnest before. Lightburn made it a bit easier by eliminating a few steps (export, start svgnest,delete, close svgnest, import), so its a bit easier to use. I do prefer to go in the svgnest settings and set the space between parts to 1 mm or so. This will off course use more material, but it won't cut the same line twice. You could go in and delete the double cuts , but that would defeat the purpose of less work :) I also find that svgnest sometimes does overlap. I do agree that is can save a lot of work trying to fit your pieces on the workspace, but it does need some tweaking afterwards.

@LaserLivestream 2 года назад

Glad to see you getting the result you want with both Lightburn and SVGNest. It is great to leaver the tools you have to get projects done quickly... Just means you can get to the next project faster! Thank you Peter 🙏

@cherylshtuff 11 месяцев назад

Will it rotate pieces to make them fit better? And can you choose to have the pieces share lines? It looked like with your boxes that they didn't quite touch.

@daryldean663 2 года назад

can you make a video with different layers, eg engraving text within cut shapes, and holes cut within shapes also?

@LaserLivestream 2 года назад

We have something coming up very soon that will deal with most of your questions. Nice to know what your interested in 👍

@Rippedfat 2 года назад

Hey Gil..I've been watching your videos for a couple of months after I stumbled across your channel by chance. I've learned so much and so much to learn yet! I want to create a 1 cm square god on a sacrificial board so I can easily line up my work so it's square to the laser (Scuplfun S9). I'm certain this is child's play for you but I've been busting my melon for a while and can't come up with a fool proof system. Would you consider making a video on how to burn a grid onto a sacrificial board? Keep up the. great content!!!

@LaserLivestream 2 года назад

Hey RF... Thanks for reaching out. Let me know if you still need a tutorial on making a grid for your Sculptfun S9, but the real trick would be to attack your laser to the board before you laser on the grid. Get back to me and if you still need a tutorial, I'll see what I can do! Stay safe and keep lasering!

@jeffmastin 6 месяцев назад

it doesnt look like the edges are in common among pieces, either overlapped or not quite touching. Is that just the display?

@CisnerosShop 11 месяцев назад

How would pieces that have cut and engraving on one piece or pieces that are grouped?

@plasmaDave 2 года назад

SVGnet is interesting but so slow. My test happened to be 3 snowflake objects to be nested in 400x400 it never did complete the task after nearly an hour I gave up. I guess they were just too complex and I'm used to Vcarve Pro which does it to a not-perfect but acceptable level in seconds.

@michaeljessop4579 2 года назад

Hi Gil, I'm a long-term subscribed Lightburn user and appreciater. However, I got a Lightburn update notice recently which then required a new payment! Can you comment, please? Is this legit or a scam? I went back to an earlier version. Thanks in advance...

@LaserLivestream 2 года назад

Hi Mike, I can't comment on the email as I have not seen it, but I do know that lightburn update subscriptions do come up from time to time. My experience is a pop up in the software, but that does not mean that Lightburn may have started emailing users as a courtesy. My advice would be to check your sub in Lightburn itself, and if you need to re-subscribe, do so via the app and website. Hope that helps 👍

@Frandalf 2 года назад

When you pay for your license you can use Lightburn forever, but you can only upgrade for the first year. After one year, you will have to make another (smaller) payment to be able to use the upgrades for another year.

@SUNRISE-ADVENTURES 2 года назад

Does it double cut the close edges or just cut one line for 2 pieces?

@LaserLivestream 2 года назад

Depends on how you set it up in SVGNest, I have been able to get it to do one cut line, but standard is a double cut. You can do it, just takes more set up time!

@danshelstad4684 2 года назад

Hello, thank you for the great video. Have an svg that is made up of garden stakes. It has the words of the plant on the stake and lines that help make up the look of the vegetable. When I run it through svgnest it does not bring over the welded letters or the portions that would be engraved, just a straight outline of the part. Any ideas?

@LaserLivestream 2 года назад

Hey Dan, thanks for reaching out. This seemed to be an issue for a few people, so I tried to address the workflow using SVGNest in this follow up tutorial. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-PmPac-O_8v8.html Let me know if it helps and what you plan to use Lightburn and SVGNest to make with your laser!

@monavieforal 2 года назад

Hello, I just ran into a big snag. Could be I'm doing something wrong. I followed the steps as directed. I uploaded a My design (earrings) all went as predicted. When I downloaded the complete SVG It was missing a lot of the inside shapes. Such as all of the holes for the earrings a some of scores lines. Any Idea? Thanks Al

@LaserLivestream 2 года назад

I have not seen your layout, but try grouping your parts in individual groups. Let me know how it goes!

@oliverdriscoll8350 2 года назад

did you get a fix for this? i am trying to do the same but with letters and losing the inner line on say a "o" . tried ungrouping and combining also tried just with text i typed in lighthburn but still the same problem. any help would be gratefully appreciated!

@monavieforal 2 года назад

I gave up on it. Had an earring project I need to get done so I just nested the hard way. I'm not the tech support guy I use to be lol. So no solutions on my end.

@paulgriffiths3613 2 года назад

Hello,When I try to download 3 complete escher lizard shapes to svgnest,they are missing a couple of outside lines and the nesting result is just a bunch of lines in one corner.I must be missing something?

Can you burn a project and work on another in lightburn??

@LaserLivestream 2 года назад

Yes. Just open another copy if Lightburn and continue working

@tekkietekkie 2 года назад

if you are using windows you can just hold down shift and click on the lightburn icon and it will open a 2nd one. If you are using mac then you need to make a copy of the app
