Adding tabs to my font in LightBurn so I can burn out letters in 110# paper

- I want to make a quick Happy Mother's Day card out of 110# paper. When you burn letters out, if you don't attach the inner parts, they will just fall off and the letters will not look correct and make it more difficult to read. I want to show you how to attach the inner parts of the letters using LightBurn. It is easy and quick to do. This technique will let you use any font you would like to use.
Normally, I use the stencil font as it is already set up so that you don't lose the inside areas. But it can be boarding too. Some fonts are quick and easy to use. Some of the more complex fonts will require quite a bit of work to secure all of the interior pieces.
Other than for making a card, you can use this technique to make a stencil for painting and use something other than the Stencil font. Can make your stencils look nicer. - Навчання та стиль
very helpful
Very Helpful Brother. Thank you. 😀
I am glad this will be helpful. I avoided cutting out text because I was manually putting tab on letters and trimming them which took a long time. Then my brain kicked in and said "Why not use the subtract feature in LightBurn?" I tried it and it worked great. This opens up many options and saves a ton of time.
You just saved me so much time this weekend. I was going to start editing fonts for some cutting I need to do. Your video saved me so much time and grief. Thank you! I've subscribed to your channel. I'll watch often.
That is great! I am glad you found this video and it was helpful for your project.
thank you,
I was searching for 4 hours and you gave me the answer
you are awesome! !
👌👌👏
I am glad you found this and that it was helpful. I have avoided projects where I needed to add my own supports because it was taking too much time. When I figured this little trick out, it was a game changer! 🙂
Dang, I wish I saw this an hour ago as I just made my first paper card before I found your video. In my case I used a fancy stencil script font (Brannboll) which worked out pretty well, but the tab trick would have been useful for a few letters. I also used a widely space dash vertical line in center to assist in the fold.
I was just thinking about this video for some reason. Your comment came at a great time. :-) In the future, I hope you are able to use this method. Your widely spaced dash to help the card bend is brilliant! Good thinking. In manufacturing, that method is called a bend relief. We used them in back when I worked as a manufacturing engineer in precision sheet metal manufacturing. I can't say that I ever thought about using them with paper. Fantastic idea!
When I subtract almost everything disappears except for the few places touching
Sorry to hear that. The subtract doesn't always do what you want it to. I think it has to do with the order things are selected. I don't remember for sure. The cool solution for this is when you do the subtract and it isn't want you want, undo it and do it a second time. The functionality will work differently the second time. That is something they built into LightBurn. :-)
