Great inspirations. Thanks for all your great videos on LightBurn. I switched from LaserGRBL to LightBurn with your help. Several years ago I had access to a CO2 laser in Huntsville AL at a Maker space. Last week I took delivery of a Ortur Laser 15w Diode device. I joined Make Nashville last month. I live halfway between Nashville TN & Huntsville AL. 50 miles to either.
I like the way you slow things down so I can follow what you are teaching. Thanks I have been trying to take a square and just create a 45 degree angle across both of the top corners. Would like to see hopw you do this.
when you have an object or line selected if you hold down the shift key and hit the period key it will rotate your selection in 45 degree increments. I use this feature all the time.
You are an excellent teacher and I watch your Lightburn tutorials in preference to all others as you present the information in a way that is easy for beginners, such as myself, to follow. That makes a big difference when it comes to reducing user frustration and increasing knowledge and confidence. Your step-by-step approach is engaging and enjoyable and I have learnt more from you than any other tuition provider. You clearly appreciate that we all have to start from the beginning and aren't 'pre-programmed' with knowledge! Thank-you for the time and effort you put into your presentations - I genuinely appreciate it. One question...when you sized the polygon to 2" using the width and height facility in the top toolbar, it showed 2 x 2" as expected. But when you went into the shape properties, it showed the width as 2" but the height as 2.309" whilst still showing 2 x 2" in the toolbar. Why is that?
I love the flexibility, also really love the way you walk thru each step in one screen and then do it...very cool. Haven't downloaded LB yet, but will soon as I just got a Legit 15a laser. I'm getting pumped. Thanks, and just subscribed. Just gotta figure the macho do it now.👍 Andrew
Thank you! You do a really good job of explaining things as well as good visual examples as you go! I appreciate the time you put into these, coming from a relative newbie!
I am getting my first laser this week. 60w omtech 20x28. I find your channel to be very, very helpful. I was watching your library creation video. thank you for that. I use vcarve for my CNC so I was very interested in how I can use lightbun.b.
Awesome video. I've been doing graphics for a while, making t -shirts (yeah, I saw your heat press in the background :) This is a whole new level of fun. Only have a little 5W Creality Falcon but it should cut game parts out of chip board. If you have any tricks on lining up prints on two side before cutting (not engraving) I'm like Mr. Spock ... all ears!
I followed each step as presented. When I got to preview it was a big black blob. I read the comment and reply on this previously posted and you mentioned that must have overlapping lines. Not sure what this means or how to get it, as the design on the screen show lines overlapping, but in the preview they do not. I have fill set. Using 1.0.04
try something much simpler to start off with. you have to have one shape cross over another duplicated shape to get the difference in white and black. it can be tricky sometimes
What a great tutorial. I look forward to more. You should have more likes than this on it and way more subs. Truly the best tutorial i have seen yet. Well done.
Thanks for sharing. I am going to try this out today. I was wondering if you could show your hose brace (or send me a picture of it) that looks like it goes to your CNC behind you when you started the video. I need this solution for my CNC. Thank you.
Good video. I like the style of explaining, but also showing the written sequence of instructions. My suggestion: please attach the instructions so I can print easily, see 5:07
Hi Red, I would love to be able to do that, unfortunately TH-cam does not allow attachments like that, just links. The only way this would work If I would to provide a link to a hosted location, just not prepared to do that yet. I appreciate your suggestion and thanks for watching.
Hi Great stuff. How would you go about creating the Imagine Circle at Strawberry Fields, Central Park NY. I have been trying and am having a hard time? Any help greatly appreciated.
Great tutorial. I had a problem when I tried to preview the first project, it looked nothing like your it was just a black blob. Also I noticed when changing the item to a triangle, the triangle was upside down to yours. Maybe I have changed a setting. Any help would be appreciated.
Great tutorial. My problem is that i cant get the shape to snap to the middle of the other shape. If i use the bullseye function it dosnt centre it to the actual shape. I have turned fill on and snap to shape. Please help.
I have the latest lightburn 1.0.02 on a Mac OS big surr . When i call for the shape properties i only get half of the information .Cannot edit the polygon.
QUESTION! I have a map and want to shade only an island on it. How do I combine specific lines to be able to group them together so I can use the fill setting? PLEASE HELP thank you so much :)
if I understand your question correctly, you want to engrave the island(shade) on your map. draw the outline of the island with your pencil tool, then using node editing modify the shape so it fits the contour of the island, make separate layer and set to fill. adjust power lever in that layer to desired look. hope that helps
Yes it’s very easy once you learn how to do node editing. Look in TH-cam for LightBurn node editing and you will see how easy it is to modify shapes thanks for watchin
@@computercreationz Cheers for that, I will review node editing. One more query, Can I invert the burn so that it burns everything except the traced image?
A great video! Thank you! This is a dream come true for someone who loved her Spirograph! :)
I had one of those too. that’s what it reminded of as well. thanks for watching
It's never too late to have a happy childhood!

I appreciate the time you took to prepare for this video. This is what instructional TH-cam videos should look like.

Its amazing what you can create with Lightburn. thanks for watching
Excellent .... thank you so much
You are most welcome
Man, this tutorial is second no none!

LightBurn will work on lasers but not Cnc machines. just keep that in mind. it’s a great software, if you have a laser give it a try!
Great job thanks
Thank you!
This was a really great and very clear tutorial. Many thanks
Glad it was helpful!

@@computercreationz Hi I am having the same problem as Paul! I have changed the # of copies and no change. All I get is a big black blob!!!!!!!
How could I get the overlapping layers/lines to NOT to FILLED
That was very cool!! Thank you so much for sharing!
Glad you enjoyed it! it’s allot of fun once you get the hang of it!
Excellent tutorial -thanks
I appreciate you watching !
WOW !!!
these are allot of fun, thanks for watching

I’ve sold my Cnc since then!

Hi Great stuff. How would you go about creating the Imagine Circle at Strawberry Fields, Central Park NY. I have been trying and am having a hard time? Any help greatly appreciated.
Hiya, Great vid. Can you tell me how you set the preview box to black and white from the default Black and Red please?
In the preview window there is a radio button that says “Show traversal moves” be sure it’s OFF. Thanks for watching!
@@computercreationz Seriously no idea how I missed that. Many thanks for the reply :-)
Great tutorial. I had a problem when I tried to preview the first project, it looked nothing like your it was just a black blob. Also I noticed when changing the item to a triangle, the triangle was upside down to yours. Maybe I have changed a setting. Any help would be appreciated.
Make sure you using the fill mode on your layer, must have overlapping lines for this to work
Great tutorial. My problem is that i cant get the shape to snap to the middle of the other shape. If i use the bullseye function it dosnt centre it to the actual shape. I have turned fill on and snap to shape. Please help.
Click on the gear icon and look for snap to objects in the middle of the page. Turn it on if it’s off.
Hello. Ty for your videos. I have my shape properties window up but it does not have anything in it. It is empty. Can you help please? Ty
I figured it out. I needed to select it first. 😂
I have the latest lightburn 1.0.02 on a Mac OS big surr . When i call for the shape properties i only get half of the information .Cannot edit the polygon.
hmm, I’m not having that issue with a pc based LightBurn version. I would email LightBurn support and ask if this is an issue with the macs
i really like your videos , you tell it really good
Glad you like them!

aloha! what is happening if I have an object selected and convert to path is not highlighted? Iʻve tried multiple types of shapes. Thanks!
I believe after you’ve converted it to a path you can select the node edit tool and edit your shape give it a try.
Hi, This is a bit simple, but can you do a curved rectangle in lightburn? like the top of a banner. Been googling with no luck :(
Yes it’s very easy once you learn how to do node editing. Look in TH-cam for LightBurn node editing and you will see how easy it is to modify shapes thanks for watchin
@@computercreationz Cheers for that, I will review node editing. One more query, Can I invert the burn so that it burns everything except the traced image?
i want to put a grid on my waste board and do not know how, maybe you (or someone) can help me out here. thank you
Look at using the rectangular array tool in LightBurn. Draw one single line both vertically and horizontally and use the tool mentioned above.
dont need to select them all if you uncheck "Cut selected Graphics"
Yes I understand that but usually I have allot of other items on my work space that I always choose to work this way. Thanks for watching
@@computercreationz more mentioned for those that wonder why your selecting it all
