    EDIT: Lightburn is NOT subscription based (as of the time of this video). It is a one time purchase of a product license that doe snot expire. Hopefully Lightburn keeps it this way.

    I'm really excited to use this laser engraver in some of our projects this upcoming year.

    You should do aa quick follow up video on how to change the setting as well as talk about the prices. That to me was the only 2 things missing from this video. Love your videos, can't wait for the next one.

      Thanks for the pointers, I'll probably do a follow up video once I get a little bit more familiar with the program. Thanks for watching!

    Another great video Taylor, really enjoyed this one.
    Been looking at engraver/cnc machines but being retired income is a little tight, and this looks like a good way to take the plunge without spending a fortune!
    Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and family.

    Great video!
    Just got my X3 as a gift but I'm struggling when trying to cut wood. Can you possibly let me/us know the setup you use for cutting (speed etc.)?
    Thank you very much!

      So I am using LaserGRBL and I have learned that the 5watt laser cuts the balsa wood packs off of Amazon the easiest. I typically buy 3mm material and it typically takes 4 passes at 40% speed and full power. In the puzzle video I made, I used 1/8 plywood and it took 6 passes to get through it. I'm still learning myself, so as I learn more, I'll make sure and share it.

    Great video. Thanks for sharing. I'm already for a longer time thinking of buying a smaller laser engraver and/or cnc.
    How long did it take to cut out the circle with the Christmas motive?

      I did 4 passes to finish the cut out, however, that includes me experimenting with the settings. Even with me messing with the setting, it only took a few minutes so I'm sure once it's dialed in, it could be much quicker for batching them out. Thanks for watching!!
