your videos are priceless, thank you for being so gracious as to make them available to everyone..... you are the Laser Guru!
Glad you like them! Thanks so much for watching :)
Great series so far. Never used Lightburn before. Thanks for your crash course. Appreciate your time
Glad you're enjoying it, thanks for watching!
great series so far.. I am learning a lot
Love to hear it!
Outstanding!!
Thank you!
Thank you!
Welcome!
Vids are really good! Your content is a one stop shop. I joined your discord too its great! Any down side to running Light Burn on a laptop? Mine is a pretty powerful CAD lap top but kind of older, running win 10.
First comment. Good job Alex, one more day!!!
🎉 Thanks for the comment Fred! I'm excited too!
that clears up a lot of questions 😅
Good glad to hear it!
How do you get the framing box to pull up ?
Very cool !! I’m new on this things I like to start doing this,what brand You would recommend?the CO2 galvo and the fiber laser just to star a Chinese brand since they are no too expensive and some of the are pretty good for the price.

Why the text ist 180 dg in Lb and reel rotate? How to fix it?
So, does LB recognize the library for different materials? How do you import that if so?
It does, we cover it a few episodes after this one in the series :)
@lasereverything. Just downloaded LightBurn for my machine and watched your incredible helpful videos but I’m doing a circle logo and its burning oval? Any thoughts?
In a further along episode in this series, we cover applying, and also creating your own cor file. Work up to that section, but that will be the process that will correct skewing, distortion, and sizing scale.
This is very educative video. I enjoy your videos. I have a question though. Is it possible if I want to just create a 3x3 array of laser points for a prolonged time? What I mean by that is, I just need to create a pattern of laser spots, not care about engraving them in metal or wood. Is there any feature what can be used to do that? I appreciate your time. Thank you.
Do you mean like laser marking jigs? If so, check out this episode by Kyle: ua-cam.com/video/_i6x6qsEz1g/v-deo.html
@@LaserEverything Thank you very much for your reply. The video that you suggested is a very good one, but that is not exactly what I am looking for.
ua-cam.com/users/clipUgkxnWHnz-tdPJvfsiv4en-tL879Zo_PPr_y
If you see the above video, there they tried to create a 2-point dynamic laser spot. but rather than two, I need a 3x3 array or any arbitrary number of array of laser points and I want to manipulate the dots in real time. I don't need to engrave anything, I just need the laser dots to appear at the same time. Is that possible to get with the lightburn?
Thanks again. Much appreciated.
Great video...contour for me does nothing on my 50w JPT...the other 2 work perfect but once i hit Contour, I get nothing on the material
Sounds like a lightburn bug, I'd email support@lightburnsoftware.com to see if they can help out - might be something they need to fix on their end.
@@LaserEverything I got it it was just a setting!
Good! Glad to hear it. Happy you got it resolved!
Hey Alex and all!
I have one question: On my contour preview of the text laser projects mirrored contour instead? How to change it? Its a lil confusing.
Anyway - thank you so much for your tutorials!
Hey! If your laser is seeing mirrored output / framing, you can reverse the direction in the device settings (its the option under galvo 1 or galvo 2, where it says reverse direction/negate). The galvo you reverse is going to depend on which axis is being mirrored, so try one and test to determine if its the right one. This is something that will also be corrected during a corfile typically when you run that, but that's how you manually flip it. Hope it helps!
Looking for a 30watt fiber laser can you recommend one ?
The Mactron unit is still my favorite but I can easily recommend all of the sellers listed in our Buying Guide who all have 30w variants of their offerings: www.lasereverything.net/buyingguide
My 50W Raycus never shows ready...? Even though everything is working. Also the job never shows the progress information that I see when using my diode laser in Lightburn. Help please?
The ready indicator has never been particularly reliable for me either - I just ignore it.
Progress information isn't really accurate for fibers as fibers are constantly streaming data to the laser in chunks. I think that's something that could use some improvement in LightBurn eventually...
@@LaserEverything Thanks for the clarification 👍🏻 🙏 Would be nice in future updates to see the progress, pass number etc... that you get when using diode lasers with Lightburn.
Your videos have been SO hopeful.
I'm having a big issue with my framing button. It was working fine, but all of a sudden when I hit the Frame button it starts the beam and runs continuously until I pause it, then stop it. Frustrating! Have you encountered this by chance? I've turned the "require framing" toggle on and off to no avail :(
Check what port your red light pointer is set to activate on and make sure it's not mixed up with the "start marking" port. Start marking is usually set to 10-15 so if the red light is there that may be causing the issue.
@@LaserEverything I've tried every port and none of them works, but it works in EZ Cad.
Check the Facebook group or discord so we can take a closer look I don't think we can solve this one in the comments
good video, but its old news, lightburn 1.2.01 does not have this in the settings
Just came out of beta, there's gonna be some rapid changes post release. Some things will have to be updated.
Hi Alex, Great Videos! quick question tho. When i click frame my red dot goes away but it doesnt light up anything. Bounds, Hull or Contour, nothing lights up. Where would i find that setting?
Check the episode where we cover device settings and talk about ports. See how your red light ports are configured in your F3 param on ezcad and make sure they match. Issues like these are usually port issues.
@@LaserEverything (I am now a paying member!) Alex I have the same problem. I bought your recommended 50Watt Mactron JPT laser, just got it... I don't have a PC to run Easy Cad on... I am just running Lightburn and hoped I would never have to use easy cad... is there any other way to find these settings without doing 100 to 1000 port number guesses? On my I/O ports the graphic above says 0 green, 1 red, 2-9 are green, 10 red, 11 red, 12 green, 13 green, 14 red, 15 green. My Ready Light setting is set to None and so is my Red Dot drop down, set to None. I'll keep at it, my laser just went off due to this when I was expecting a red dot... always wear my glasses! - lesson learned.
hello.
i can't see the frame, i did every thing, sill nothing appear .
have y any idea ?.
Check with your manufacturer to see what port your red light should be set to and confirm that's correct!
What does that mean? Here too, no framing :( @@LaserEverything
When I laser mark a text it does the words backwards
I have an Omtech Fiber Laser 30W machine and I can't get it fully operational. I bought it second-hand directly from Omtech; their customer service is hopeless. I'm in Ensenada, Mexico, and there's no one here who understands it. I moved here from Austria. My main business is 3D printing. The machine arrived with a wrong motherboard, which Omtech replaced. The machine is uncalibrated, I have trouble installing drivers properly (didn't receive USB), EZCAD doesn't work, LightBurn can laser but framing doesn't work at all. Do you know what the problem might be? Thank you!
There are a few possibilities. It's possible the framing red dot laser is controlled through a I/O port, which you may need to trial and error your way through testing and finding in the device settings. It may freeze or cause your laser to fire. If that is the case, be prepped and safe, and be ready to hit the E stop to kill the power. If it causes things to freeze or misbehave, go back into lightburn and change the port back before turning the laser back on and trying a different port. Not graceful, and requires safety planning, but its doable.
Alternative is that there might be a physical red light button to turn it on, usually on the laser head, or on the box if its a split style unit. That may turn it on and sort that out.
Unfortunately, lasers can come with red dots within the source (Like JPT's) or may use beam combined red dots within the laser path (in the arm of the laser on the tower, just before the laser head), and then ontop of that, many ways to configure and software/hardware power and control them. Thats about as far as we can get in the youtube comments, but if you're still stuck or need help, I highly encourage you join at least one of the free communities we link in the description so the support community can help you out in a thread.
Sorry for the criticism, your videos are highly valuable and thanks for them but Its a bit annoying that you always show some options that you cover/will cover another video. This makes me confused and makes hard to concentrate, understand the current topic.
