When you operate from controller to you still put files in art library?

I am just getting around to understanding Origin settings. This tutorial is spot on! As usual, I have to go through a tutorial several times to get the details implanted in my head. Do you usually leave Cut Select Graphic and Use Selection Origin on when designing your file? Tomorrow I am going to research your tutorials for one on understand Optimize Cut path. Thanks to you providing details that I could not find elsewhere. Lucie

A friend built 2 of these for our new shop. Easy to follow directions, sturdy cart. Thanks!

I'm late to the party, but I have a question. I just bought a creality 40 watt laser. I am trying to learn and obviously there is a curve involved. I was looking into the minimum power and how to determine where it simply will not engrave. My issue is that when I draw a box in lightburn , there is no option for minimum power, only maximum. I only have that option when I have an image being set up to burn. Is there any possibility that you may be able to give me any guidance on how to make the determination?

In Lightburn I place Etch before Cut. When I run file from Controller, it cuts before etching?

What I learned today: Best not to use characters/spaces when naming a RD file!

Does the step per rotation change when you change size of cups. Or does the step per rotation remain the same now matter the size of cup.

I actually came onto your UA-cam today to see if you had a video on how to make bullet points on a template to dial in the positioning on the bed for templates. I got some coasters. Then I came onto this video and ended up watching this whole thing. Now back on task.

Since I already use CAD software like Solidworks and Fusion 360 could one create the layout and save as a dxf or other supported formats that Lightburn uses to import that? I don't know Lightburn as I am awaiting delivery of my fiber laser now. Thanks for the great tutorials btw!

Okay, we are both too old to be changing to mm. How do I change the Controller from mm to inches.

I stewed all night...how do I ???????? First question I had was how to delete files, can I do it in Lightburn, YES. Easy Peasy! Oooops, must have to be connected to Controller to see the list. Coffee first. Back with coffee. I inserted the flash drive into UDisk port and twisted red knob on top of laser to turn it on. So far, so good. Remove flash drive from Controller and insert in Desktop, bring up file list? But then I am not connected to Controller? I can see where this is a two person operation. Waiting on little sister to come over with her laptop. We will then let brother sleep in before calling him to come over and give us another run through.

Oh Boy. Our brother has our CO2 laser restored and running. It is in my garage. First surprise, I must remember to put my flash drive in the G something port (located on the right hand size of laser. The laser was about three inches from wall; can't see ports. Call brother, over he comes and wheels laser away from wall. He gave us a quick run through on how to load and run a file and LEFT us on our own! So...we go shopping before starting our adventure. Just to see how much we remember. Inserted flash drive in G something port. Turn red knob on top. Yeah, machine is ready to go. That's it!

I am assuming that Lightburn now uses "Offset Fill" instead of Line and Fill as shown in this video, am I correct?

As usual a great tutorial, thank you.

I appreciate your video. For some reason when I move the test rectangle down to test another line to see if the graphic meets up, the rectangle does not move farther down the cup. I've sent the file to the machine multiple time and the laser frames in the same spot every time. My origin is set on the center of the graphic. Any help would be appreciated!

Really pleasant information, Sir. Considering as well to get a hands on one of mopa fiber. So your information is good addition.

Great video. My Fiber Laser is arriving next week. Where is a good source for slate?

Giving away the secrets, this is one of the most important features to understand but is hardly ever mentioned. If you watched this video, you are ahead of most laser enthusiasts. Great video!

where do i adjust this for a blue diode?

Thank you, I had a job on a rotary that I needed to make darker, the mug was displaced, I suppose your tip and this tool would work to re-align and reprint over the previous lighter print.

How do you get the layers to snap to the middle of another?

Off Topic. I tried Googling this. Is there a difference in how to etch and engrave on tiles. Do you need to paint tiles?

2024 still picking up great tips here and there - thank you!

I came looking for an answer and I found it! Thank you!

Thank you! Now I am searching for how to change the focus! Great video!

Really valuable info, thankyou very much

You never covered CUT SELECTED GRAPHICS. My laser runs but does not put out enough power to even engrave (like its doing a simulated preview) how do I tell it the power and speed when I use this? :( I am using a 10w LongerRay 5

Thank you very much!!!

how can i fix my design to just engrave the letters and not everything. It shows all red.

OMG what a difference! I recently purchased a used 51/130 and the main thing I like to do is paint my wood first and then cut. I was almost thinking I would not be able to do this because I thought the paint was causing the flames and severe burn marks. Introducing external air completely solved this. Thanks a bunch!! And by the way you are an excellent presenter and teacher!

Thanks!

Wow, just watching this video for second time. I don't believe I have ever come across a video on this subject before. You are the BEST! The stupid question I asked my brother was "can I save file to desktop using just the controller". He answered NO. So, can I go to the File List, copy and save files on Controller to my desktop from this list? How do I upload to my computer?

Hello , my questions is does anyone know where to get quality wooden plates because locally i cant find

This video is a keeper. I have a question that is probably too stupid to post. I will hit my brother with it before posting here.

Golly, just getting back to this tutorial. My brother restored a burned up Laser for me and my sister and it is the garage, ready to go. We intend to run projects from the controller. I took notes while watching your tutorial and will type them up tonight. I am the older sister and my other sister my sidekick. We work together. I need to get a galvanized pail for emergency. So far we have managed not to burn up any lasers.

I just got a 50w fiber laser. I really need to make a jig but I don’t have a C02 laser. Do you have a recommendation for what type of material I should use for the jig?

Good tutorial Robert. I know this was a large piece, but if you took the same paper you used to contrast the photo taped the together and them used a fine sharpie, you could have outlined the grill and the mounting holes and traced it to the paper, then took a picture of the outline on the paper you could save some time in editing the photo. Just another way to go about it. Like the idea of using a metal fabricator to expand your capabilities. I do not have a metal shop, but had a real good client that orders from us on a regular basis really begged me to add some metal to his products, so I did some research and found someone local and now I have the ability to sell even more products.

These are my preferred style videos from you, Robert. More please.....LOTS MORE!!! Thanks......this was an excellent tutorial.

why not take measurements and use pattern commands and lines ?

Amazing video mate. Just a quick question, when I make my image adjustments and press ok, it doesn’t save this and just goes back to the original image in lightburn. Any ideas on this please?

Thanks for another great video. I ALWAYS prefer a longer video with more content. I get more detail and I can always fast forward if i need just certain information. Thanks for all you do. I have learned so much from your videos. From a fellow Texan!

If you had stayed in node editing and highlighted the part you wanted to move you could have done the same with out having to go through the other way.

Dang…. A buffet of such good info with a plethora of utilitarian bits being used and demonstrated. Thank you for taking the time and sharing.

Thanks!

Thanks for taking the time to put this video together, this was super helpful.

Thanks!

this is fantastic! Thanks

Start here. Amazing, it's under my nose and I never paid attention to it. That is a top tip, thank you.

GREAT VIDEO! Can you please let me know what kind of cuttings speeds you were able to achieve cutting 1/4" wood @ 1-pass?

oh something I found out cleaning the lens on another brand laser (before I purchased my Thunder Nova51). The focus lens, looking into the lens - if you can see your face looking back, that is the domed side. So when you install your lens back into the nozzle tube, if you look at the lens (end where the nozzle screws in) and you can see your face, it's in backwards.
