Fiber Laser Color Test | Monport GA30
Wanted to test out some color engraving with the Fiber laser. Using Lightburn's built in material testing, we got the Monport GA30 to start etching different colors. There are a lot of parameters that can be adjusted with this and we have just started to scratch the surface.

What do I need to set up the automatic air assist through this board
Hi, how loud is the laser ?
I'm having problem with mine connecting
Im experiencing the same thing 3:43
I was following along until it came moving z axis. It didn't matter what increment I chose to use, the z axis would not go below 000.0. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
14:10 Why remove the old home switch? Doesn't the software ignore it. It would make a nice safety feature should the CR fail.
Ahoj. právě jsem instaloval tuto desku a zdá se mi že motory chodí nějak hlucně a ještě mi to piše ,že koncoví spínač nenalezen a při spuštění mi nenajede do domácí pozice. mohl by si mi poradit co by mohlo být špatně? Děkuji. jsem z České republiky.To to mi to piše.ALARM:9 Navádění selhalo. Nepodařilo se najít koncový spínač v rámci vyhledávací vzdálenosti. Definováno jako 1,5 * max_travel při vyhledávání a 5 * pulloff (odtah) při vyhledání fází.
I think you should use the front laser red dot to autofocus.
It’s seems to need both. But I am not 100% sure on that
Hello, Top thanks but how does the font you used in the video Which font Thanks in advance
Had to return the monport controller, too bad.
Hi! First thank you so much, I have a question. Is may be posible engrave with a fiver laser? (Sorry if my English isn’t good I’m from Colombia)
What do you recommend for engraving brass with a 50watt c02 laser?
thanks for you video , I have the k40 but 55w u had changed the focus lenses to 38.1mm to engrave a very small area's as 2.5mm *2.5mm size but the machine is not working as the focus is not working well any suggestions I've tried with the Hight adjustment in addition to the power nothing is working any idea's thanks in advance
I love this! The Monport 60W CO2 laser is a solid investment.
Finished etching on glass jar; came out great. Do you just spray it with air? AND I subscribed to your channel.
Thanks. Air is good. We also use glass cleaner. Just don’t wipe it with your hand or you can get shards in your skin.
I had a question is the power head a three prong or two thank you
Not that I can remember. Sorry
Can I etch bottom Pyrex dish and use for baking?
I don’t know if the etch would weakin the dish. Might crack when it’s heated.
Hello, how did you connect the endstops? I have the same board and it doesn't work for me😓
When you pulled the tables all apart; were there any adjustments, or places to put shims. Mine is high on both ends.
This is great KLR! I love this because the setup was straightforward, and I appreciated how customizable the settings are, allowing me to experiment and dial in the perfect parameters for the canvas texture. It's clear that each laser can behave differently, but with some testing and adjustments, I was able to achieve stunning results. I can’t wait to explore more projects with this machine! Highly recommend it for both beginners and seasoned users!
Good luck exploring the machine. It’s never ending learning, but a lot of fun!
Try applying titanium dioxide before engraving. Lots of YT videos showing how to do it.
I have absolutely no knowledge about this, but I want to get started on it. That's why I watch this video. Am I totally wrong if I think that an aluminum plate underneath will dissipate heat and prevent burn-through? Maybe you can burn harder without burning through. Just an idea, as I said, I have no idea what I'm talking about, or what will happen with an aluminum plate underneath. Maybe that makes it all a lot worse, I don't know. Thanks for the video. 🙂
It’s a fine balance or speed and power that just needs a lot of testing to really dial in a machine. None of our different lasers use the same settings.
Cool. This is helpful to me. FYI - Tell your guy to stop eating flax seed. It leads to low T.
Thank you , question if you hadn't moved it how would you go over it again? If you hit start will it go over it in the exact spot? or do you have to use the print and cut feature in lightburn? If that was the software you used Thank you
If you don’t move it you can just hit start again.
have a question if I cut and engraved something but it is either not dark enough or didn't cut thru before I remove it how would I engrave and cut this again Thank you.
Yes. I have done this many times
Hello, good job, how much does it cost? If I want that watch, how much should I pay?
Hi guys. Maybe I missed it. What was the Dot Duration on this project? Thanks. Well done.
The 60w they sent me to review had a broken screw in the laser head, 6 weeks and 2 shipments later I get to do this today...
That’s unfortunate…
Thank you! This is the first place I’ve found where someone has the same menu options as I do. I finally got my cr touch set up.
How do you know if the switch is bad? I bought 2 new ones (my dime after no response from Tech Support) for my 60W as well and have the machine tore apart as I type. Both of my switches light up. are in the exact same position as yours but 1) at startup, the head goes to home and starts jackhammering trying to go past the limit switches. Also, both of my switches get hit by something and lean over no matter how low I take them. If you get a Monport, prepare to be inside of it regularly.
On the wire channels you can push the cover to one side to release the other side then open the released side and remove the cover.
Thanks for the tip!
What a great video thank you guys so much for the inspiration
Hi I hope you got it working in the end, as it wasn't working well. My k40 ( more like k25 , its the mini one with 600mm tube ) will cut 3mm ply and 3mm mdf at 20mms at 13mA in 2 passes, if I slow down to 12mms it cuts in 1 pass.
why didn't you do some test cuts and engraves on the parts you are going to cut off first.
That’s always the best way. But to be honest I was thinking I have used it enough to have a good guess on the settings. I got lucky.
great video i just ordered the cr touch for my 3 pro tho think im going to have to do some changes to mine as i have the direct drive setup on mine
NO NOT BUY A MONPORT LASER. They have NO support. There are 3 numbers listed on there Website as post sells support. NEITHER one number answers. Ever. You have to summit cases via an email link and WAIT. When, if, they contact you then it's a 24 email and wait. For days. If you have an urgent production issue like we did, you are screwed. We spent $1,000 on a CO2 laser and it's DEAD after a week when a runaway Z movement sent it into the honeycomb crunching the laser head. We are STILL waiting on Tech Support help over a week later.
Wound love to test one
Lookx fun
Good quality guidance video
They let me me know
ok I'm new to 60w and help!!
I loved your video. Based on the size, do you think it will fit thru a standard door? I don't have a garage but I have a spare bedroom I use for my lasers. I'm looking to upgrade to a CO2.
❤ sweet ! Amazing. Say what is your laser watt 5 10 or ? 😀 great job 👏 also I need to change my power settings now thanks for that .
you deliver the board to India
Can this cutter cut 3 mm thick acrylic sheets?
Nice job! Looks like a lot of charring on the cuts...did you have air assist on? Comments?
Air assist was one. But the power might have been higher than really needed and maybe could cause the charring? Not super sure.
@@KLRform thanks!
Just like Monport, send you something without directions. That's why I stopped dealing with them!
I think I would use your advice/experience and will try to get bigger machine (well looking for something up to 2028) ;D for now I am choosing first laser but those k40 seems very limited and probably bigger worth the investment. Thanks for sharing.
Nice video guys. I started having constant stoppages every 3 minutes. So, followed your tips (except for the sock) and took the makita router out - opened it up and gave it a deep dust clean with a small air compressor, added 2 fat ferrite chokes to the makita power cord near the router itself. moved the hanging router power cord a little further away from the main drag chain and also flipped the router 180 degrees so the power cord now points away from the controller box & short drag chain. So far so good - just finished a 20min carve with no disconnect. I also find that making sure your computer doesn't sit idle for more than 10mins - essentially keeping the computer awake also helps. The way forward is to give the router a regular deep dust cleaning - monthly.
Is there a link to get this board in the uk ?
I do not know but I can reach out to my monport contact and ask.
