This is genius!

Same concept, but I use a sheet of construction paper held down to the honeycomb with little magnets. Then I just throw it away and use a new sheet next time.

Hey, may I suggest you look into the "pattern" tool, which will automate the copy/paste you did of the circles. Perhaps it would make a good future video.

So when buying a piece of wood, just measure it and add the dimensions to the software to make sure the image fits ?

Hey, hi, I do like your videos. I have a question: What settings do you use to cut through wood because I'm having trouble? I'm going through like 11 passes.. I have a text to d121 laser, or maybe you have a video to explain the settings if you don't mind helping me

Thanks for the tip.

Great tutorial! Good idea.

My longer won’t cut through at all even with 5 passes at 100 power. Speeds at 11.4 what’s wrong? Longer ray5 10watt also

Is it possible to use bigger workpieces with circumference 10" or more?

How do you actually align the laser in the centre of the design, on the square? You have positioned the square on the right on your table, but in Lightburn the design is on the left?

How are you going to seal it as a coaster?

Nicely explained and easy to follow. Thanks. Cheers, Huw

I was following the steps very carefully and I still was not successful my machine doesn’t work. The laser when rehoming it hits the frame also the rotary keeps rolling a few times

For those who have family with plotters (ie vinyl cutters), don't forget that their software will usually have a very good and easy trace system. Sure Cuts a lot, Silhouette Studio Business edition can both output to SVG. Inkscape is free, then there is Gimp and a multitude of other apps for the iPad, like Affinity . There are also pattern generators like Amaziograph...Lots of options.

you need to play with steps per mm to fix the stretching issue

Currious.......where did you set your laser to start from ..........? current position

Looks like you also cut out a fire truck and ambulance? FD/EMS? Love my Air Assist!

Great explanation, good video !!!

👍, thanks for sharing

hi, may i know you other contact information? We would like to invite you to collaborate with us and promote our new product to your audience.

What a genius idea！It helps a lot to save my wood,thanks.

You Need to download UI Character Map to get all the fancy things that come with the fonts

like this vid have used a font called Place script in aspire its very nice have a look cheers

I'm so glad I found your videos!! I just purchased this exact laser and using the free trial lightburn, so your videos are perfect for me. Excellent explanations!! Thank you for helping us with great visuals. Looking forward to learning from you!

Dafont had a nice feature where you can type in sample text and preview

Excellent video, thanks Learnt something new and now I can experiment with my projects. Cheers 🇦🇺

thanks for a great tip on adding fonts to lightburn

Thanks for the tip.

Nice I will have to give it a try. Thank you for the video.

Nice video. I like following your journey. Lots of people, on the Facebook laser pages, swear by Dawn power wash or Awesome cleaner from Dollar tree to clean the honeycomb. I just got a larger honeycomb like yours, so I’ll try some dawn on my old tiny honeycomb. Fingers crossed. Also just installed my air assist, you’ll love it, makes a huge difference.

Just started lazing a few weeks ago with a Sculpfun S30 Pro- the 10 watt with the 900x900mm extension kit. Built a cardboard enclosure and I'm glad I did first instead, it's really quick and easy to customize. One thing I've learned is that most of the smoke comes from under the work- what I'm going to be doing soon as an experiment is building a second air extractor on the underside- beneith the Honeycomb bed I'm going to be drilling a bunch of about 1-2 inch holes 6-12 inches apart in a grid then make it so I can open/close different holes. A second air axtractor will pull air out from under the work. The reason for the blockable holes is so that I can extract air from directly under and only where my work is in order to pull most of the smoke from below which I think should minimizing smoke stains on both sides of the work. Also going to have it setup so waste can be swept into the holes and vacuumed out of the hollow area underneath so it should make cleanup/maintenance easier. Not sure if that makes sense- it's an experiment that I've not seen before

What wattage is your laser machine? I assume 10w?

Nice : ) Air Assist is awesome. For fun try 900mm/m and 85% power with 6 passes. I bet you love the results and look at the time & quality of cut vs your current settings.

I see you placed your metal backer rite up against your honeycomb. You will want a small gap for gasses to escape below the comb . trapped wood gas between backing plate and inside the cells of the honeycomb will pop in tiny explosions that can move parts of your work. i put adhesive rubber feet in the corners of mine keeping 2 mm between metal sheet and honeycomb. Air assist is amazing . it keep your lens clean and turns scorching and charring into deep clean engraving and cuts.

Has onyone tried cooker hood grease filter? Those honey combs are wildly overpriced imho.

Another addition - Get a 90 degree USB cable. I hate the fact that they include the one that sticks up 5" from the top of the controller!

Air assist is worth it. I've got the enclosure for my Ray5 10W and with the exhaust port it works great. Got the honeycomb as well and, yeah, no more scorch marks. Now I'm waiting for my switches, which I believe are having to come out of China, and they are taking a while (as of this comment, I ordered on 13 Dec and they still haven't shipped) to get to me!

Wait until the air assist comes! It’s even more impressive.

I was just wondering if all the cad shortcuts worked on Lightburn.

good video, but i have some space between the comd and the plate beneth it. air assit is allmost a must while cutting, the top and bottom whil be even clean. Thanks for sharing.

You will notice a huge difference after installing the air assist

It is so useful! Nice.:)

in Lightburn, double click on text to edit it. The pink text cursor should appear where you double clicked.

Everything is fine, but the edges of the material are burnt and it doesn't look nice.

Super!

what do you use under the piece being cut? another piece of wood that is scrap?

Cracking video. Thanks.

You sir. are a very good teacher. Straight to the point. Lightburn seems very complex to me, although you show how to use. Thank You

smart trick, i am surprised though for not useing honeycomb support under the wood and air assist to avoid the burn under and on the edges...

I must say I enjoy your videos. they are clean and straight to the point. With all the videos I have seen for lasers and creating smalls, this one is the best so far. I really hope that you continue to produce these they are really really good!
