I'm new to laser, and after struggling with all the parameters and settings i found this and was awesome the results that i got, thanks for sharing this files and make my life easier
II think I figured it out. Lens has different definitions and uses. I think the Fxxx lens number should be used as the common lens size instead of the work area 70mm. 300mm lens should not even be used. It’s a 300mm work are and an f420 lense. I was using Fxxx in the Excel and the work area in the app. Still need to play around with both.
Hello all laser team, hi alex, EXCELLENT! EXCELLENT! Thanks! Do you also have cut parameters of different materials such as, aluminum, brass, stainless steel, glass for charging Please thank!
Not super often these days but when we do work with a new material we absolutely update it. It's a fairly complete starter list for people. We're focused more on converting for different specs and CO2 Galvo and UV libraries lately to offer as much as possible.
Another great video Alex! Looking forward to your tutorials on LightBurn for galvo in the coming weeks (you should definitely think about an early "release" on the LMA before TH-cam. As part of the LMA are you going to be making a copy of the parameters library for LightBurn available just like EZCAD2?
I'll make a copy available but if you're using a different lens/wattage you'll have to run it through the converter anyway. No matter what this will have you covered!
Thanks for talking about the 300 lens. You mentioned to me I need to bump up the power. Do you still need to do this after converting with this program. I have been bumping up the power by 3.
The layout of the site has changed since this video was recorded. You'll now have to click on the right hand side of the page in the "Releases" Section and download the most recent release.
Hello Alexander. When I register, will the parameters you have for a Mactron 50w JTP work? Or will we have to wait for them to be updated soon? Thanks.
thanks, but of course I got a question . . is there an easy way to combine param files? I would like to convert the one from the LMA but I already have few dozen param I don't want to lose.
I have plans to add feature to allow you to combine parts or all of 2 or more parameter files into one. In the meantime, if you open your param file in a text editor such as NotePad, you can copy/paste sections of parameters into a single file. Be sure to grab the entire section that begins with '[PARAM NAME]" all the way down to the start of the next one.
That’s so cool. One question. I now own a Mira 9 100 watt glass tube. Is it bad to run at 100% power? You were talking about running co2 at less than 100. What would be ideal?
Co2 glass tubes don't like being run at the edge, as it tends to burn them out faster. Most people generally recommend running them at around 85% or less of their max rated power if you plan to run them for long jobs. There is also the factor that there is a potentiometer that controls the amperage going through the tube at the given power %, and if that isn't tuned, it could be sending more or less power through the tube than the expected when demanding a specific power %. This is kind of like under volting/over volting a cpu in a computer. Running less current can cause unexpected or lower performance than expected, where running more will cause it to run hotter, push harder, and expend its life faster in some cases, given that the defined lifespan is a tangible thing. Ideal is a shifting value, depends entirely on expectations and what you need the laser to do, what material you're working on, and desired results. I wouldn't suggest running a laser tube at 100% for hours a day, but if you needed to, getting a higher wattage tube and power supply or laser would be a longer term solution to run more within normal power levels to achieve the same peformance. They have a lifespan, so will eventually need replacement, whether its longer term use at normal levels, or shorter term at high levels.

Hi Alex!! My name is Felix, I just bought a fiber laser machine and I don't know the parameters. I'm trying to install the Fiber Setting Converter, I've already downloaded it but I can't find the .exe to install it. Could you help me

For an RF tube (usually Co2 galvo's are RF tubes) it's less of a concern, but for longevity you can certainly drop the max you're willing to accept down. somewhere in the 80-90% range is a popular starting point for maxing things out. Sorry for the delay, hope it helps!
Excuse me Alejandro, I was referring to enrolling in master laser everthing... Will your laser parameters work for a JPT 50w macron? Or are they only for 20 and 30 w?
yes indeed, as he shared you will need to use the parameters offered, and convert them for the machine wattage and lens you intend to use or have. You can convert them up or down to any wattage, the principles of conversion shared will still work and allow you to utilize them for whichever machine you have.
Alex i have your PARAM library uploaded in my EZCAD. When I convert to another lens size. I am having a hard time saving the converted PARAM to library. How to do this or is this possible. Thanks Rick
Sorry for the delay! If you haven't, grab the updated download of our library set (its on our website homepage), and it will come with all pre-converted libraries so you can just grab the copy for each lens size you have, hope it helps!
If you head to the Laser Everything website, there is a link to our shared library right on the homepage. It covers most wattage and lens combinations, for both ezcad and Lightburn. All made free, possible by the community support over at the Laser Master Academy, check that out too if you get value from the community resources :)
I installed the program on Win11, but when I start it, it asks for .NET and calls the MS site. I installed both the x64 and x86 versions, but the program still doesn't start, indicating that .NET is missing. Greetings from Austria, Hans
Try installing the runtime by downloading it directly from microsoft and running it that way, then come back to this software installer and it should skip that step. Here's the link: dotnet.microsoft.com/en-us/download/dotnet/6.0
It is not available for Mac, but we do have a web tool that can be used to convert individual settings. It is available on the homepage of our LaserEverything site
It's there, you have to go the releases page on the right and download the most up-to-date zip folder. The page you are looking at is likely the uncompiled files from the program creator.
@@LaserEverything where can i get a params library for JPT 60w MOPA? i had a membership on your site, but think that is no longer active, any recommendations of a library for that specific laser?

At your service :)
Thanks Alex and Mr. Christian!

It's like Christmas in June. First this, then LB for galvo. 👍
Merry Christmas
Lmao that’s awesome!!!
When I convert I’ve seen some conversions which are different than the Excel spreadsheet. Not by much on power but there is a difference.
Small deviations shouldn't make a huge difference. You will have to make small tweaks to 99% of the conversions anyway. Should be ok!
@@LaserEverything I didn’t figure. I think like Pmag Gray was 16% in the app and 20% in excel. Just was bringing it up though for info.

UV probably sooner than ez3... That said there's no timeline that I've heard of for either. Could be a solid wait.
Looking to buy my 1st fiber laser this week, a commarker b6 60 w. Will this convertor work on this unit? What about frequency settings?
Hey alex, is the web version available yet? I have a Mac and would love to convert my clb library.
Thanks for talking about the 300 lens. You mentioned to me I need to bump up the power. Do you still need to do this after converting with this program. I have been bumping up the power by 3.
The software uses identical formulas to the spreadsheet so if you've found something that works stick with it here.
Thank you.
Welcome!
David, if you're reading this, thank you. Now how do I contribute to the Microsoft authentication certificate / beer fund?
Can probably DM him on LMA :P
@@LaserEverything Ya gotta advertise to other people to contribute to the MS authentication cert / beer fund.
I setup a GoFundMe here: gofund.me/a5c4f077
Followed all the instructions and downloaded the converter but there is no Setup.exe in the folder when unzipped.

Hello Alexander.

That's exactly what this converter is for. Once you download the Param file it can be roughly converted for any wattage/lens combo. :)
Cool program. Thanks
You're welcome!
Awsome thank you
You bet!
thanks, but of course I got a question . . is there an easy way to combine param files? I would like to convert the one from the LMA but I already have few dozen param I don't want to lose.

Would love if we could just input a setting and have it convert without having to pull the library
You can click the "Convert One" button without a library loaded :)
I'm not finding the set up file in the git hub anymore?
Is it only available for Windows, not Mac?

It uses a .MSI installer instead of an exe, find the .MSI file and execute it.
When setting up laser parameter converter with a c02 galvo, should the max power be set below 100%?

Make sure you're getting it from the "Releases" area on the right hand size. You may be downloading the source data instead of the compiled program.
