Awesome job, thanks to your videos I bought my first laser cutter and have been making cuts and engravings all night. Thank you and this is an awesome design.

Got my LASER LE5040 yesterday and took me 4 hours to put it together, I'm 74 and a little handy caped, and will try this after we come back from BRANSON. I like it. Love your video's. They are so interesting and informative.

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.

Outstanding!

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.

Thank you 👌

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

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

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

How would you invert an image to burn?

@PawPawsWorkShop

2 жыл бұрын

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

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.
