Alex you're the man, putting out videos faster than I can watch. Just got light burn and again I would be lost without your support. Thank you for all the great content.
I appreciate that! So glad it's helping you Anthony, thanks for watching!
Low key a straight man. But his patron is the only one I sub to
Can't say it enough...Thank you sooo much Alex for this AMAIZING SERIES of videos!!!
You're absolutely most welcome! So glad they're helping you!
This is great! However, how do you know what frequency to use? Is there an explanation of why you are choosing a different value for cleanup vs cutting?
I'm new to Fiber laser world and your video helps me a lot, I subscribe to Laser master academy to support your channel, thank you soo much for all the good info.
Awesome, thank you! So glad to hear it's helping!
Your awesome man... your video's are so much help... I would be completely lost without your video's. Much thanks, I really appreciate you and the work you put into making all these video's. Thank you
Just happy to hear they're helping you.
Once again another AWESOME video... Thank you I leaned a lot...
So nice of you, thanks for watching!
Great stuff! Thank you
Thanks Rob!
Thank you
Well done ..very informative!
Glad you enjoyed it!
amazing content!!
Glad you enjoyed
Nice video again 😀, love the videos very clear explain and whats them all
And now this one again because I have a question, i never use ezcad and come from diod and have a mopa M7 jpt now
playing with color and have a lib
60W MOPA in 304 stainless steel marked colored.
Hatch 0.002
What is that hatch number and where to put it in lightburn
because i have more tests with other hatch numbers like 0.001 and 0.004
Hello my Lightburn dont show black fill on rectangle when i put fill, should i switch on something? Its still only showed like lines. thank you
How do you turn on the colors on the bottom and dock the layers window
What they just called Sub layer, is already there in SCANLAB's software with similarity as "paths".. its cool.
So to hatch like we did with ezcad I need to run 2 of the boxes on the upper right corner one cut 45 second cut -45? Kinda confused
Hey Alex! Great video as usual. I am working my way through the series and I have a question regarding sub layers. Is there a way to apply library presets to a sub layer. It seems to only change the main layer when I apply a preset. I don't know if I am just missing something or it's not a feature. I know I can manually set it up, but it kinda defeats the purpose of having presets in my opinion if i can't apply them to individual sub layers. Maybe I am just doing it wrong....lol :)
Doesn't seem to be, great question. I'll mention it to the LB team, you should too over at forum.lightburnsoftware.com/
I love how when your block gets filled the moment you click on FILL ...Mine however stays lines...wonderfull!
You have to turn on "Filled Rendering" in your LightBurn settings. We cover it in this entry: ua-cam.com/video/XOtk37NeTeE/v-deo.html
@@LaserEverything you are waaaaay to good at this mmmkay...take a break have some tea go to the beach take a day off ! You deserve it....thanx!
cant wait for LB 4 galvo to come out
It's exciting!
can we only use 30 layers? how to use more than 30 layers?
Why is my frequency limited to 40% to 60% kHz ?
do they mean the line interval of 0.002 perhaps ?
Now in a live stream i asked about fiber/mopa laser and if it was supported. The answer was yes. However i miss the Pulsesettings, do they appear when making the Mopa Profile? Further this is great work.
They do, just have to tick the box in the device settings menu labeled "enable q-pulse width" super easy!
@@LaserEverything thx for the clear answer.
LigthBurn runs also on MAC, so is it correct that it is possible to run a Galvo laser via LigthBurn on a MAC computer?
Correct
Thank you so much, I wonder if you did a video on clean-up, for different metals and their settings. I searched a lot and did not find much. You are the best at this so if you have something please share. Thanks, thomas
I'll definitely add it to my list Thomas, in the meantime you may get some use out of the bonuses on the LMA - masters.lasereverything.net/
What if I want to run 3 deep engrave passes, then 1 cleanup pass, change the angle, and repeat that 50 times (autorotating the angle each time). How can I get it to keep rotating the angle without repeating cuts I've already done? I can do this in EZcad. In EZcad, you can set the angle rotation, then set the number of times the job will be run and it will continue to autorotate that same amount with each time the job is run. Here, I think I would have to have duplicate shapes and many cuts/layers (1 2 3 deep engrave, 4 cleanup, 5 6 7 deep engrave, 8 cleanup, etc) but there are only 11 layers you can have so that limits that and then before long you're repeating cuts. Thanks.
Hey Yaog, you can simply enable auto rotate in the hatch menu for the layer, set the passes for that layer to 3, and create a sublayer on the same layer (enable auto rotate on that sublayer as well), and set the passes for that to 1 for cleanup. This can be done with 1 layer + a sublayer within that layer now. You could also save the whole layer's settings to your material library for later use on other projects to not have to rebuild the hatch settings and angle adjustments.
@@LaserEverything Yes, but what you're saying to do will have it engrave at x angle, auto rotate, engrave, auto rotate, engrave, auto rotate, and then cleanup. If I run that job 50 times it will go back to the original angle (ezcad would remember to continue the angle rotations where it left off so that you could run the job 1000 times and have a different angle each time). But if I want it to do that 50 times I'd have to set a different angle manually in Lightburn for sublayers 5, 6, and 7 (then cleanup pass sublayers 8). Do you see the issue I'm talking about? I want it to run a job 100 times and auto rotate continuing at the angle it left off on so as not to repeat angles. Ezcad does this. Lightburn does not, unless they changed it recently.
I do the "fill" and it doesn't fill. Just stays as outlined box.
Go into your lightburn settings (not device settings) and check "Filled Rendering". It's filling, it just isn't showing on screen :)
What setting are you using for wood, I want to engrave a name in a pencil. to be more specific.
and I appreciate everything you are doing, thank you
I'd ask for some suggestions in the Discord Server or Facebook Group, links are in the description :) People are usually happy to share.
This dosent work for me. If enable repeat and set it to 10 times, it only does 1 time. I have try it so many times =/
Alex, Any idea why when picking fill from the drop down menu, my shape does not show solid on screen? It lasers correctly, but on the screen it still shows as just an outline.
Yes, easy one, head into lightburn settings and tick the box that says "Filled Rendering" :)
@@LaserEverything Thank you! That’s what I get for skipping videos 😄
Haha no problem here to help. I always encourage everyone to go through the series as if they had never touched a laser. There's lots of little nuggets and easter eggs hidden through out them that often help even experienced laser owners ^_^
feature request: on thinner metals, i can get really clean cuts if i give the metal a chance to cool between passes. however, there is no way to tell the program to just chill for 10 seconds between repeats. would be nice so that i dont need to stand by my machine hitting play every 10 seconds for 3 minutes.
I find that that line out at .02 line interval is way to small for a project, it might take an hour to do a flask for instance, that is not right.. if you do a preview of the time it would take its a long time, not like in EZCADE were .02 and cross hatch takes about 15mins at 200 speed..
I do not believe preview time calcs are currently accurate in lightburn for galvo lasers. Line interval is what it is and shouldn't be affecting the run time between softwares and has not in my experience.
One tiny question but it can save the world. I got our Galvo working just nicely on Lightburn thanks to your videos. I have only one problem. The working area is not facing towards me but turned 90 degrees to the left. Do you know by chance how to change this? I would be grateful, keep up the good work sir.
Yep easy, in the device settings (wrench and screwdriver icon) in the very first section labeled "Field" simply change the "Angle" box to your desired angle of rotation and hit okay. Should do the trick.
@@LaserEverything as always many thanks :)
Most welcome!
can you see the hatchlines without having to click preview??
Unfortunately no :(
@@LaserEverything Thanks :)
