My wife wants one for etching glass. Apparently, you can do it with 10 watts. Showed her my research and she's checking her bank account... I left out the part about how excellent it would be for cutting motor mounts and other goodies for planes. Sometimes, it's what you don't say that's important!
I used a piece of mdf that the lasercutter is clipped into and then engraved a 100x100m grid over the sheet. I just line up the wood to be cut onto the grid, home the laser and start cutting. I had sockets with screw hole 3d printed that the feet are placed into and it's perfectly aligned each time the laser has been moved around
Hi Lee Great video and review of the S10. I have a friend who ingraves wood boxes for ammo and he has had it with the ingavers in this town. And he may like this video.
Can you please help me ...idk why but the laser read that the work area begining from somewhere in the middle of the original and continue out from the laser ...(sorry i know bad english) ...but if ypu know what I talking about ,please help me to repair this problem..❤
The part that connects the Y axis motor to the Y axis has some screws that are too large and are not hidden, which causes them to collide with the X axis motor. This part comes assembled from the factory and it is completely impossible for it to have passed the control of operation. as it is intended to show the label that comes a few centimeters from the part with problems
On a bigger job 5 is going to take forever ( per the recommendation ), can I increase the speed to 600 and 50% power but make 2 passes and get the same results ? Or is my 10w to powerful ? I have a 5.5 w now and am in the process of the upgrade . I know I need to play around with the settings , and I will , but what are your thoughts on it ? I use Basswood and Bamboo and Pine mostly but am trying red cedar , oak and others soon , I just started after Christmas .
When I have thoughts like this I tend to run a cutting test on the edge of the material. Have a number of 10mm lines and vary the speed, power and number of passes to see which one works best then use that for the job itself. Does how to do this need a video?
Yep laser makes parts easy, and for foam board construction saves finger tip from sharp razors problem is size . Most table top lasers are too short . Extended mine with some new side rails, 20x30 inch foam board fits with room to spare . However the ability for second pass is lost which limits wood cutting to about 2 mm . Lo k for small spars . Take care.
Looking at cutting in the next video. I've found a pre 'cut test' on the material avoids the issues with offset second seperate pass as you can add the extra passes into the job from the start... happy flying!
why after i follow all the steps, but the laser engrave result not same like what i setting？it becomes some vector shape（but i import the image actually） is it need to click any button before start？
Without seeing what you're doing it is tricky to comment. You must be missing some steps. The preview in Lightburn will show you what the laser will do...
Make sure you are subscribed and have the bell notification icon selected so you don't miss content. It's in the community tab on the channel and I also posted it on Instagram. 50mm
I just searched for laser engraver in one of those stores from China... And it actually seems pretty reasonable. It's definitely not cheap, but I saw things much more expensive there. 😬
I've cut a few balsa models using my atomstack a5 with lightburn, with thicker balsa I just do 2 or more passes. I stick the balsa with double sided tape to the mdf board, bit of a hassle cleaning, but prevents the bad quality balsa from curling up and getting stuck on the lasers shielding plates
@@stephenkolenic303 Thanks Stephan, I am more interested in how the cad software part works, how to get a rib or similar off a printed plan and into whatever software controls the burn
@@peterhancox5268 download plans from www.aerofred.com or www.outerzone.co.uk check out the following plan on outerzone, oz12729 thermale Aquila Elektro 3.0m glider, PDF file that is ready to be cut. Import it into lightburn, move the sections that you want to cut, in and out of the cutting area.
Nice!. Im not a laser expert, but I would advise you to get a proper laser safety glasses. I been told ( by someone who knows about lasers) that those that come with the laser are ususally not that good. Try to find a video on YT where someone tested some cheap laser safety goggles
Wow! Thank you! Happy engraving! Check out the series where there are lots more basic 'how-tos' for engraving, cutting and designing using the S10 and Lightburn - ru-vid.com/group/PLYsWjANuAm4o7qk6dEGR68387Mtd2ngyC
