Thanks, new to lasers and lightburn and really appreciate your insights and tutorials

[@dave0sparky0matkin]

is your hot air balloon images available on your web site? I was going to follow along with your tutorial - enjoyed making the key rings. Will be watching most of your videos going forwards!

[@anitabenadie4668]

Quick question, is your GRBL set at 20000? as well as Lightburn?
Thanks

Hello, Im using a desktop connected to a 4k tv and all the symbols are teeny tiny! I can barely click them. The size of the font and everything else is fine. Do you know if how to enlarge them?

[@jessetutterrow4320]

I have the same configuration. From Windows go to Display Properties (right click on blank area of screen and pick Display Properties from the pop-up menu), select the display you want to change, scroll down to the "Scale and layout" section there is a "Change the size of text, apps, and other items". Pick a higher percentage say 150% to make everything 1.5 times bigger.

I am new to lightburn and I just got a xtool D1 pro10w. When trying to setup a material test I am only getting the grid but not speed and power intervals. Is there a way to turn this on?

[@asherdiy]

If you mean that the power and speed labels aren’t showing up when you run the project, then the power and speed settings for the labels themselves is probably too low. Those can be edited in the test generator by clicking on one of the buttons on the bottom. I believe it’s called “text settings” or something like that. Hope that helps!

[@nathandowdy1628]

Hi Asher, when i run the test my boxes are just outlined not filled in . What am i doing wrong? Any help would be appreciated.

[@asherdiy]

My guess is that the engrave "mode" set to "Line" instead of "Fill". You can find this setting in the cuts/layers menu in Lightburn.

[@nathandowdy1628]

@@asherdiy thx mate

[@migoalaso]

Can you change the settings from mm to inches?

[@asherdiy]

Yes. It’s under either the device settings or general settings. I can’t remember which one offhand. Just checking both should reveal the location.

[@nicolestorie4069]

Will this work with leather?

[@asherdiy]

Good question- I’ve never tried it on leather to be honest so I’m not sure. In theory, I can’t think of any reason it wouldn’t work. Let me know if you learn otherwise, I’d be curious.

[@elizabethbarnett5781]

using the Array tool would save a minute or two ...

[@asherdiy]

100% - great point!

[@WeCreatOfficial]

Hi Asher, Would you have interest give a honest review on our WeCreat Vision?

[@ManWhoYellsRape]

just opened the cut test file and its very hard to see. yours seems to pop more and be brighter! hoe can i fix that?

[@alexanderkorchmar1186]

Sounds like that your layers output are not turned on.
When they are off, it shows layers faintly
