Layered project design in LIGHTBURN

Bringing you along for a file design that I am working on for Brandy. This design is going to require 3 layers to make it complete.
For templates that I have made, check out my Etsy shop. I build files for projects and tools for laser engravers.

I like the three layer one. you need to put the 45 degree lines on the outside trim of that door like you did on the one layer one you did.

[@TheClackShack]

Yea. I also should have added an edge to hold the lid in place on the CNC one. My files tend to improve over time as I tweak them. Thanks

[@genabush4619]

I like the layered one a lot but I also like the offset around the six windows like you did for the single piece. Thanks for the video!

[@TheClackShack]

Very welcome

[@chucklenz9011]

Hey! put the 2panels on the bottom as glue on attachments. Go look at your door they are raised, as in a “raised panel door”. The should be on the same plain as the door handle.

[@TheClackShack]

I was going by the design that Brandy sent. I am gonna make my own mini door on the CNC, it will be more like a real door.

[@DavZell]

An idea crossed my mind at the end. If the middle layer (door) had a solid lower half and it were sized so it could open outwards, it could swing open revealing a cat, dog, message, name, year, etc on the lower door portion of the back layer.
To make the door swing, you could give it two tabs at the top and bottom that could be sanded round and sit between the front and back layers to form pivots. The back layer could just be the frame and whatever you wanted on the lower half of the door as a silhouette, or it could be solid with the window area shaded and words/etc on the lower half.
Sorry if that was wordy or hard to understand!

[@TheClackShack]

That could be done. I was reproducing what Brandy wanted.

[@DavZell]

@@TheClackShack oh, yes; I knew that. I thought my post might give some9ne an idea to try. Hope you feel better soon! We don't want to see you in the Cla-spital.

Multi layer is my choice! Great job Dave! As always, thanks for the lightburn experience.

[@TheClackShack]

Thanks...

[@isaiahgillett2573]

Love the layered door. The engraves wasnt bad either.

[@TheClackShack]

Yea, I like the layered better,,

[@darrellrichards2133]

Layered

[@TheClackShack]

yes

[@craftingwithjean5599]

Very nice Lightburn tutorial. I enjoyed seeing how you made the file. Prefer the 3mm layered.

[@TheClackShack]

Glad you liked it…

[@tammygraves5757]

Love the 3 dimensional one!! Thanks for the tutorial!!

[@TheClackShack]

Yea, I think it is a keeper…thanks for watching

[@michaelameredith]

I wonder how it would look with the layered door with some of the engraved lines, like around the windows and the 45s on the frame corners.

[@TheClackShack]

Lots of options and added decorations possible.

[@mr.mrs.t.9292]

Another great educational video . Thank you so much!

[@TheClackShack]

Thanks, glad you liked it

[@chrisgallaher3899]

I like the multi layer but with fill on bottom panels from single layer

[@TheClackShack]

Cool idea,,

[@chrisgallaher3899]

@@TheClackShack I wonder if it'll pass the Brandy test ?

[@nathanwolf5547]

I suppose it would be possible to cut the door out and hinge it. Kinda good for building doll houses etc.

[@TheClackShack]

I guess it is possible.

[@budgetmerch]

Nice - liking the 3D version, but I think I would experiment with the edges to see if I could get some more shape into them. Not keen on seeing flat edges where I think it would be better with more of a rounded over look. But other than that I see some procedures here that I want to explore. Lightburn keeps on surprising me with its capabilities, that's for sure.

[@TheClackShack]

Rounded edges is hard to accomplish with a laser. A cnc, yea.

[@budgetmerch]

@@TheClackShack I suppose it would involve lots of individual power settings to get the depth of cut but I'm guessing.

[@richardbeck9054]

Wonderful video. Thank you!
How do you make LB display solid colors as fills? I only know how to go to the preview to see the fill.

[@TheClackShack]

It is a setting in LB. You can have it only show lines or show fill. It is under the WINDOW tab

[@johnmay371]

👍

[@TheClackShack]

Thanks

[@Terry_Genereaux]

What Laser did you use on this project?

[@TheClackShack]

Algolaser Alpha

[@budgetmerch]

I don't use Facebook so can't up your numbers on that, unfortunately.

[@TheClackShack]

Too bad.. Thanks
