DAYGONE LASERCRAFT

Laser cutting, engraving, tutorials, & projects are the main focus of this channel - hello, I’m Dave and I would like to say welcome and thank you for stopping by. I’m retired after serving 30 years in the Army - my background prior was woodworking, roofing, & construction. While I have very little experience with lasers (since Feb 2023) and even less with making videos, I do like learning new things and sharing knowledge. I plan to learn a little more each day and to make at least one video per week (more when time allows), so check in often to see what I have learned and hopefully to pick up some skills and techniques to help you on your laser journey as well. I currently have the XTOOL D1 Pro 40W laser (extended) and the XTOOL M1 10W Desktop Laser. Your input is welcome, so ask questions or send comments anytime and I’ll respond as quickly as possible.
Let’s learn and do some fun projects together!
Sincerely,
Dave (laser-cutter in training)

Too bad he never used the actual kerf adjustment in lightburn
At the time this video was made, I didn't realize Lightburn had a kerf adjustment - may need to make a new one. Thanks for watching and commenting.

Dave, i just learned to turn off offset..... so i won't be upset! Lol Another great tip. Sorry it took 3 hours to figure it out, but you did! Greg
Greg, it is truly one of the "important" settings and did have me baffled for awhile. Thanks for the continued support. Take care - Dave!
You can also just change the -16 to 0 and that also will fix the problem. If you noticed the "Y" setting was set to 0.
Thanks, Karl - I appreciate the tip and the continued support! Take care - Dave!

Working my way through your videos and wanted to drop a compliment. The pace is really refreshing, so often the mouse is flying and there's just too much going on to absorb. Your presentation is so much better in a step by step format. You're clear and concise which really increases the benefits of the information you're putting out. Well done.
Thanks so much - I try to keep things as simple as possible. Glad you are finding the videos useful! I really appreciate you watching and for the kind words. I'm glad to answer any questions you may have. Take care - Dave!
Just what I was looking for. I'm trying to wrap around a hat shape. Thank you. Where do you get the file for your library? Create your own or a download?
Glad the video was helpful, I create the art libraries from sites like "dafont.com". Checkout this video, "ua-cam.com/video/PyNOp22wuAI/v-deo.htmlsi=o1IPq7FNVEmh-_QR" and let me know if you have further questions - I'm glad to help anytime. Take care - Dave!
This is great. Thank you!
You are welcome! I appreciate you watching.
What are the settings in light burn for etching the cards?
I have a 40w laser and use a speed of 100mm per sec at 20% power and set for "fill". My son has a 20w laser and uses 50mm per sec at 20% power, also on "fill". Thank you for the question and for watching.
Thank you so much for taking time to make these videos. You explain so well.
You are very welcome! Thanks for the compliment and for watching!

great video dave keep going
Thanks Luc! Take care - Dave!
I clean my honeycomb and SS shield at least once every week and use my power washer on the shield then take stainless steel spray cleaner and rag to polish it up. I use oven cleaner on the honeycomb on both sides, let it sit for about 10 minutes and power wash it. When everything is clean I use high pressure air to blow out all the water and get it back on the laser. This process only takes me about 30 minutes start to finish.
Thank you for sharing your cleaning process - very detailed and helpful! I should have thought about the oven cleaner - I have some in the shop, I use for my smoker and grill. I need a better way, so I appreciate the tip. Thanks for watching and commenting. Take care - Dave!
I use ceramic tiles under my laser bed to make it easier to clean. I use them upside down so unglazed part takes on the laser. When I do a major clean I will vacuum like you do, or scrape off the bits then wash the tiles in car wash soap to get them clean . Then I rotate in other clean tiles to get back to work. This works great and allows for quicker cleaning.
That sounds much easier than what I am doing now. Someone mentioned it in one of the forums but I never really considered it. I have a stack of ceramic tiles so I'll give it a try. Thanks for the tip and for watching.
I forget that all the time. Great video keep up the good work
Thank you, glad you found it helpful!
Why not just put a PC of aluminum foil on the bed. Much easier to replace the foil than to clean the bed.
I will give that a try and see how it works. Thanks for the idea and thanks for watching.
