Thank you so much for this. I appreciate that you talk in layman terms. Some of the videos I have watched use lingo that assumes the watcher has already been doing this type of thing. I am working on learning Lightburn while my machine is being shipped to me so I can create a design or two before it even gets here. This was extremely helpful for me, so I thank you for your time in making this video! Now I am going to go search for a video that will show me how to make a straight line into a curved line!
Great video! I need one on how to set up test grids…not setting the arrays but where to start with speed and power. Mine are either scorched or charred. 🙏🏻
I was recently informed by multiple sources that lightburn will not link to a Falcon 2 directly with the USB jumper cable. You must transfer all code through the mini flash card. Is this accurate?
Just wanted to say I have learned a lot from watching your videos. Thank you for your time. I not sure if you know this or not but when I heard you talking about making triangles there’s a way to make them. You can use your polygon tool make a polygon and with it selected go to shape properties and there you can choose the number of sides and by choosing three sides will turn it into a triangle for you. Not sure if that helps but it may save you a few step when needing triangles
I have to start by saying; Your video is very insightful and we have watched it a few times and plan to watch again. Thank you for taking the time. However, I have to ask a few questions about the Iodes. We cannot seem to get them to respond the way you do and was wongering what we are doing wrong lol?
Clack, I saw s video where you made some acrylic keychains. Would you do anther video on doing things cutting and engraving acrylic? Thaks, I really enjoy your videos.
@@TheClackShack getting my engraver tomorrow, and setting it up this weekend z but I'm already deep into tutorials and i like yours. Thank you for doing it (in the end i went for the Atomstack X7 Pro + camera + air assist)
I'm new to engraving. Lots of industrial laser experience though. I like the idea of how you park out of the way of accessing the completed piece. I watched this video 4 times and still don't understand how you get to "park" . Can you elaborate please?
Great video and very helpful to me as I have a Mira 9 on the way. Always enjoy the info you give and keeping it simple makes it so much easier for a greenhorn like me! Thanks again!
Just got the Longer 40w based on your high regards for Longer. My question is which version of lightburn do i need to buy? Seems like there is 3 version to purchase on their site based on on which equipment you have. Thanks!
@@TheClackShack okay perfect Thank you so much for getting back to me. It arrives tomorrow and I'm stoked to dive in. Thank you for all your help through your awesome videos.
@TheClackShack thanks a lot I am new to this and enjoying the laser and it really helpful to have you and your videos. Do you know if either software has the ability to do spiral engraving on a vinyl record
I got a new xtool d1 pro 40w I setup lightburn and entered the size of my work bed 930mm x 430mm and my home area bit when I hit home it will stop halfway I hit it again then it will finish can you help thank you for your time
There is a setting on the controller that limits max travel distance. I am not sure if you can change it in XCS or not. Here is the lightburn setting at 7 min 20 sec in this video, th-cam.com/video/kDFxKNvxsAU/w-d-xo.html
Another question. Where can you find a honey comb that matches the 430x430? the one I bought is really useless. I really don't know what to set the machine on.
@@TheClackShack Thanks so much. Watching a couple of your videos have answered so many question I've had. Ordered the camera and I am starting on the drawings for a hood.
Any windows 10 machine will run lightburn. You can even buy some refurb Dell minis on Amazon for $125 that come with a mouse and keyboard. Just add a TV as a monitor
I really enjoyed the video, especially the camera part. Been wanting to get one and your explanation of what you can do sealed the deal. That will be my next purchase.
This was very informative. I will watch again while in front of lightburn to practice your techniques. Thanks
Glad it was helpful!

I have several design videos. Node editing can be a lot to remember.
Nice little Lightburn primer - useful for me, for sure, as I am new to this software. Thank you.
Thanks, I hope it helps
I thought I knew lightburn pretty well. I now know it better. Thanks Dave!. Good video
Glad to help

Very help Dave. Thanks for putting this video together. I learnt a heap. Rob.
Glad it helps... thanks

If it is, it is a recent development. I ran my falcon on lightburn for a long time. I haven’t got one of the newer ones but don’t see why they would.
thanks for the crash course. very helpful
Your welcome, glad you liked it..
Used Lightburn for a while but this video added things I have not used before but helps.
Thanks, glad it helps

I am assuming you mean nodes? Make sure the path is closed to be able to edit them. Many shapes are not closed by default.
I always worried a bout doing boxes in areas..that tip alone is extremely useful
Glad it helped

I will work on it. Thanks

Great Video, thanks for covering the Atezr. Do you have a video on how to set up a camera? Type of camera and how to set it up and mount it?
You can search my videos, I have several different cameras that I have tried out. Here is one of them. th-cam.com/video/UjjdK8aUPKU/w-d-xo.html
@@TheClackShack Goodness, thanks for the quick reply. I also subscribed and left a thumbs up. Thanks for all the help.

I will never be close to being a professional at lightburn, i can't get this program!!
It just takes practice and a bit of patience.
Thanks for the video, I'm just learning lightburn and it is way harder than xtool creative space. Would you share your art library? mine is empty
You can build it up over time. Many of my files are my creations and the logos of my customers. I even have some purchased files. I cannot share them
what camera would you suggest for a omtech 60W laser with a 20x28 bed
I use the same camera on all of my machines that are not equipped. I make a 3d printed or laser cut enclosure for it. amzn.to/4b9EZe6
Xtool comes with xcs would you recommend using xcs or lightburn? Also what is the difference of the two software thanks
XCS isn’t terrible but lightburn has some design features that you will eventually want.
@TheClackShack thanks a lot I am new to this and enjoying the laser and it really helpful to have you and your videos. Do you know if either software has the ability to do spiral engraving on a vinyl record
For a beginner, besides lightburn what is a must have for software,
In my opinion, lightburn is all you need
I got a new xtool d1 pro 40w I setup lightburn and entered the size of my work bed 930mm x 430mm and my home area bit when I hit home it will stop halfway I hit it again then it will finish can you help thank you for your time

Hi what budget laptop would be good to start with
Any windows 10 machine will run lightburn. You can even buy some refurb Dell minis on Amazon for $125 that come with a mouse and keyboard. Just add a TV as a monitor
My engrave is upside down and backwards. What have I done?
Check origin location
Thanks! Just received our P20 this week. Learning lots from videos.
i review my setting multiple time but i can not get it to rerun to the start position what am i doing wrong?
If you want to have it return to a specific location. Set it in the “return to” box
@@TheClackShack i have the box checked and the position set tp x 425.0 and y 425.0. i have xtool d1 pro 20 watt
@@seanfreeman7029 that should send it to the corner opposite of 0-0
Does light burn work with Microsoft s mode
Not sure what a
S mode is.
Great users tutorial but not really for beginners and how to get started.
I guess its a matter of perspective..lol
how do you get the line/color bar at the bottom of the screen?
Activate under windows up top
@@TheClackShack what is it called?
@@padrebrook4596 layers I think
I find it easier to have my objects in line mode when nod editing. Easier to see the nodes.
That is one option
I really enjoyed the video, especially the camera part. Been wanting to get one and your explanation of what you can do sealed the deal. That will be my next purchase.
