Nice vid ! Very helpful! Just finished aligning my Monport laser with this step-by-step guide.! It was so easy to follow, even for a newbie like me. I'm so impressed with how accurate it is now, the engraving is perfect!
Thanks- Actually the controller board for the Monport 40 watt is Lightburn Compatible GRBL Motherboard for Desktop 40w CO2 Laser Engraver. The controller board will use the G-code version of LightBurn!
@@thelaserchannel1 then why won’t my copy find my laser wether I try to find or enter it manually? I have the GCode version for my xTool 20 watt. I’ve tried many times to find the 40 but no luck. I’m going to configure my webcam to work with Lightburn. I made the stand using nothing but PVC 1/2” pipe. It’s higher than the 18 1/2” length that some people use.
@@DaBalloonGuy67 Check out this video where I connect LightBurn to the Monport LightBurn compatible to the software: th-cam.com/video/JyxRk2f-C-M/w-d-xo.html The software connection starts are 11:15 in the video- hope this helps!
Excellent recommendation! I'll add this to my next project video! Project libraries really help when running many different materials on different machines!
Also could you do an extended step by step video as to setting up a camera for an xTool D1 Pro if you have one. Every time I do something when I try the alignment wizard. Something always goes wrong. My laser head tried to bust through one side of my laser. As fast as it was moving, I thought it would have. My current settings for the alignment wizard are as follows: Thickness 7.000 Fill speed 10 Line speed 3 Scale 114 Fill and line power 60.0 This when I framed it, the laser head was grinding the head beyond the back of my engraver. I had to physically turn the engraver off to prevent any further damage. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
That's a great idea but I currently do not have a camera for the Xtool (or any of my machines). The grinding noise (as you might know) is either the belt jumping teeth or the stepper motor jumping steps.
Thank you so much for the perfect video about aligning the mirrors on Monport 40 w.
You're welcome. And if you ever get a larger machine the same principals apply to check/align the mirrors! Thanks for watching!

Thanks- glad the video helped you!
Great presentation. I'll be setting up my Monport 40 watt laser in a few weeks. Thanks again 👍
Perfect! I like to first check if the mirrors even need alignment- all of my co2 lasers did not need alignment or just a very small adjustment!
I’ve been waiting for a video like this. The first thing I realized is that I need to purchase the DSP version of Lightburn. First comment too.

Nice video!! enjoy popular confidence !!
Thank you- I'm really loving what the Co2 laser can do for me and my projects!
Now could you make a video using Lightburn and show how to create a library of my most used images. Please do this step by step.
