File loads from Art Library as an Image any help appreciated. I will gladly donate to help. I appreciate what you're doing. Thanks!
I have a 5.5 two trees Laser and my problem is it burns the letters to much .... Help Please
Thank you Rich for being respectful and recognizing and respecting all celebrations.
Always!
Best Patreon value on TH-cam! Thank you, Rich!
I'm so glad you think so! Thanks so much for the support!
My thanks to Rich for the patience and expertise in solving the difficulties I encountered when cutting and engraving the "Our Father" design. He determined my machine origin was set in the wrong position and helped me delete sublayers to get to the "Line" setting for the engraving. Above and beyond and much appreciated.
My pleasure, thanks! 👍I'm just happy you can make them now!
Rich, you are a star such a good teacher. I've learned so much from you. Thanks for that. Because I have had problems with welding text. Now I know what you're saying. Thank you. I ordered the new laserMatic MK2 on Wednesday night B4 Xmas. from England and I got it on the Friday night. How brilliant is that. Leo is a star. I can't thank him enough. I really can't. You guys are brilliant. Thanks
Awesome! Have fun with it!
Another great job of teaching. Matter of fact I think this is one I will remember as you were so clear and concise and most of all informative. Thank you so much for what you did on this video and what you do for the hobby. Have a great 2024.
I got it work, very low speed was needed
Glad it was helpful!
Great to hear!
LOL I watched it 6 times, had my ole lady watch it once as well. I tried about 8 things for the code. I thought it was my ADHD...Jedi mind trick lol. Maybe next time. I really appreciate all your videos, I'm learning a ton from you on Lightburn. Thank you! I sure miss the Westbank and crawfish.
Oh wow! Thanks for watching! Not a crawfish fan myself, but I do spend a lot of time in Perino's!
Thanks Rich! Right up my alley. This noob appreciates the settings you supplied. Made it easy to guesstimate for my 20w xtool based upon recent burns. Gave it a whirl on 3mm hobby wood. Looks great! Fragile though, and warps a bit with concavity towards the cuts so I’ll probably mount to a contrasting backer. Next I’ll try thicker ply. Warms my heart to gift this before Christmas. Glad to be a patreon!
Thanks so much! The 3mm wood I used didn't warp at all. I just ran one from 5mm solid oak and it came out great as well.
Node editing is really a challenge for me. I always learn something new from you. I plan to purchase this file.
You can do it Maggie! It just takes a little practice.
Rich, I did something like this a while back. The lines didn't show up too good because they were so thin. So what I wound up doing was shut off the cut layer and defocussed the lens for the lines so it would make them a little wider. I ran that, then turned off that layer. Then I refocussed the lens and turned on the cut layer and cut it all out.
Great tip Kris, thanks! I burned the black layer really slow and hot, so they show up really well.
I absolutely Love this
Awesome! 👍 Thanks for watching!
Outstanding! Made two of them this morning for gifts. Omitted the base and added a hanger for the wall. Amazing work Rich, love the work you do!
Fantastic! Glad to hear this!
Amazing as always Rich! Thanks for the shout out!! Looks like I will be joining your Patreon. I absolutely love this file.
Awesome, thank you Eric! 👍
Thanks for another beautiful project. I made one based on your file but added a solid back layer and a thin cross outline in between. I was able to glue a white light string onto the cross outline and now have an amazing light up version. I have it out as a Christmas gift and they loved it. You're the best!
That sounds awesome Sam! 👍
Fantastic explanation and brilliant tutorial Rich, well done again.
Cheers from 🇦🇺
Glad you enjoyed it Andrew, thanks!
I always learn something it’s why I tune in !
Awesome Bob! 👍 Thanks for watching!
Great video Rich. I already downloaded my Patreon file and am just waiting post Christmas because of all the stuff I'm still doing. I had heard about the weld but never thought about doing a small engrave to delineate the individual letters. Awesome tip.
Awesome! Get those gifts done! I'm doing these as last minute gifts. 👍 Thanks for watching!
Thanks Rich. I discoved the auto weld several months ago but did not realize it was a software feature . Thought it was a software easter egg.
🤪 It's actually been there since V 0.9 Dave. I use it all the time but never thought to do a video on it until I was 7 hours in on the cross.
Thanks Rich!
You bet Terry! Thanks for your support!
Thanks Rich for all of your help!!!!
Happy to help Jim!
Wishing you and yours the VERY BEST of the Holiday Season.
I have this same file. Have been making it for years. Try it sometime in acrylic, any color, and enjoy the out come. Especially if you light it
Happy holidays! The 2nd one I did was in brown acrylic. Clear acrylic on the Co2 is next!
@@TheLouisianaHobbyGuy you might play around with a mix of fill and line. A nice "frost" will make it glow nicely when esge lit.
I did it at 500 mm/sec in fill, 225 LPI and it came out an awesome white on the 50W Gweike!
Very cool, thank you
Glad you liked it!
Another awesome video thanks Rich
My pleasure!!
Another great video Rick, Thank You!
Very welcome Terry!
Merry Christmas love this Cross you are showing.
Merry Christmas to and yours as well!
Fantastic video Rich, once again thanks for sharing the info
No problem 👍
Thanks again Rich and Happy Holidays to you and yours.
Happy holidays Ian!
Had been playing around with nodes just this week and learnt a lot but mainly through trial and error. Today you showed me the correct way to use "S"mooth node. Thank you. BTW - I didn't skip through the video at all... did I miss the surprise? Happy to watch it again if it's definitely there.
Oh it's definitely in the video! Over 100 people have found and used it already! 🎅🏽
Thank you Rich. Happy Holidays to you and your family.
Thank you Herb! Happy Holidays!
Many thanks for awesome and learning videos. Have a most blessed holiday season.
Happy holidays!
Thanks Rich! I learned a lot. Merry Christmas
Glad to help! Merry Christmas and a safe and Happy New Year to you and yours as well! Thank you for your support!
Another great lesson with some tips. Thanks Rich. Happy holidays.
Happy holidays! Glad you liked it!
Thanks Rich Merry Christmas. You are a bit eaerly for Boxing Day as today is the 22-12-2023. but thank you.
Merry Christmas and Happy Boxing Day Ian!

Glad you like them Todd, thanks!
Happy Holidays to you too Rich. I wish you health and strength for the new year, from Trinidad Caribbean
Happy Holidays to you too!

Thanks for watching!
Hello Rich.
Thank you for a great file and great video as well. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and whole your family.
Same to you! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and yours!
Thank You Rich!! Great video, per usual. I hope you had an awesome Christmas! I can't wait to practice these techniques at home!
Merry Christmas Pop-Pop!
Rich, you are the best. Wish you and your family happy new year. 🥳 🎉
Happy New Year to you and yours as well! 🎅🏽🎊🎇
Hi Rich. Thank you for a very clear and useful video. Best of health and happy holidays. Emanuel
Thanks, much appreciated! Happy Holidays to you and yours as well!
Hello Rich, this was another beautiful video, I learned a lot and was very well explained.
I wish Julie a wonderful cherry and a happy New Year 2024.
Glad you enjoyed it!
👌👍
👍🎅🏽
Thanks for the file Rich! I finally bought the file it after seeing all the FB posts and successfully cut one out on my original Roly MK1 10 watt.
Would you mind giving the font used in your file? I want to tweak one or 2 spots using a separate letter to define the score lines.
Sorry, but I really don't remember the font. I think it was one of the Hansen fonts, but I don't recall. It's no longer a font in the file once it was welded.
Thanks Rich, if you mentioned material thickness, I missed it. What thickness did you use for the listed file setting for the Lasermatic 30w?
The settings are in the Art Library. I used 3mm plywood. You can size it to whatever size you want, just not smaller. You would need to resize the slot in the base though Randy.
i received a free Our Father file with the code that was offered during your live stream. the file is damaged. I was hoping to get an updated file. Thank you!
The file is in a ZIP package and it works fine. You have to load it from the Art Library tab.
@@TheLouisianaHobbyGuy I loaded from Art Library everything looks like it should except for when I zoom in close. the words are not readable/blurry looking.
Hey Rich, I have a 10w diode laser. Is the file only in 30w? Or can I just change some settings? I love the cross❤...I definitely want that file. Thank you!
Yes Julie, I explained how to get your settings in the video with the test piece.
Thank you so much I learned a lot. I just have to translate the file to Dutch 😂 No I am kidding, most people in the Netherlands can read and speak English 😅 Happy holidays and thanks again.
Glad I could help! Happy Holidays to you!
Wouldn't it have been easier for the "I" t just make a rectangle box the correct size and place it where it should go and put that box on the black path?
This is an educational video, and I try and show every way to do it to learn other techniques. I did demonstrate using just the letter, twice.
What’s the best way to assemble these and be able to ship them in your experience?
I've only shipped 2 to family Justin. I placed it between 2 sheets of cardboard, wrapped in bubble wrap in a box. They both arrived in perfect condition.
To get it into a shape, do you place the words inside the shape, then delete the shape after all aligned?
No, I used the cut layer to align it to.
At 7:08 in the video, you take the word which is all black lines and “send it to my cut path”. It then turns some black and some red. I must have missed it somewhere but how do you get the lines set up for the laser to differentiate the cut and the engrave? Sorry but I am new to all this. Looking to do some family names this way. Thanks for your time making these videos as I have learned so much already.
I use the red layer for cutting. The entire word was red, the black you think you saw were the moving lines, an optical illusion.
@@TheLouisianaHobbyGuy thank you sir. Yes it looks like black and red. Guess I need to see my optometrist 😬
I love the look of this design but I can't make it work, I use my Longer Ray5 10Watt. I've changed from 900/100 to 200/50 and it still falls apart, changed wood and made sure I was in focus as I use 3mm basswood. Any hints or help would be a blessing to get this working. I know it isn't the model but this user who is missing something obvious.
Thank you
Geoff
If you're using the file I designed, it can't fall apart. Hundreds of folks are posting pictures of the final product on the forums and groups. It's probably out of focus if it's coming apart. I really can't tell what you're doing wrong in a text.
I am new to all this stuff. I spent 3 hours making one word and was proud of myself until I went to burn it and I got a message saying that 7 shapes were set to fill but weren't closed. They are referring to all those lines I drew to make the letters look like they overlap. But I don't know what that means? How do I close the shapes? Oh I just saw your note on the top of the comments. I will try in line mode for both.
Yes, just change to line.
For the Lord’s Prayer Cross. Do you leave natural or paint or stain.
I leave them natural with a clear coat.
Is there an easier way? 1) turn off welded text and reduce HSpace 2) put that on a engrave layer 3) make a duplicate 4) turn welded on for the duplicate 5) put the duplicate on the cut layer. Is there a reason that this won't work? BTW - love your content and all that you do. Keep up the great work.
That should work just fine.
Hi Rick enjoying my Roly 10/30w. I paid and downloaded the lbart files to Lightburn. But no files show up. Unloaded on Lightburn, and tried reloading but message says it’s in the library, do I want to replace it, but still nothing shows. What am I doing wrong, as must be user error because all my other files have shown up no problem
Did you extract the ZIP package Derrick?
Hi Rick sorted the problem on windows machine, loaded onto MacBook and transferred Lightburn files to that machine and put into art library
Thanks for your help
Falcon hat? The Roly folks have probably launched a missile headed you way🤣
I actually have about 100 hats.
Maybe only 99 missiles assuming you have a Roly hat🤪
I do not! But they are in the works!
Hey Rich I'm getting an error that says 395 shapes were set to fill, but weren't closed. These were removed as they cause problems. Continue?. Is that going to be ok
There are no filled shapes in the project. Both layers have to be set to line.
Okay thanks @@TheLouisianaHobbyGuy
I got this file but it won't load in Lightburn. It states that my version won't allow it to open. I'm running ver. 1.4.04.
Art Libraries can only be LOADED from the Art Library TAB, they cannot be opened by any computer or program Charles!
Rich, you do great work but this has been giving me fits. No matter what I do, I have not been able to find a way to switch from fill to line. Additionally, the base pieces do not come out the correct size and end up covering up the lettering on the piece directly below. I'm fairly new to all this and it certainly could be user error, but I've purchased quite a few designs from you, steve and patrick and this is the first time I've encountered problems like this. I think I will try to download it again to see if somehow there was a malfunction in the original download. I'm using a 20w Xtool D1 Pro and a laptop.
I don't know how many ways we can have this conversation. Hundreds of folks have already made this project from the same files. On the Cuts / Layers tab, where it says Fill, pull down the menu and select line.
It was that easy for two of the three that ended up set as fill. The third was set as multi and, initially, I could not figure out how to change it to fill. Turns out I was not the only one who experienced that same problem with the latest Lightburn. They've created a sub layering approach. Their solution worked. The cross came out very nice. Don't know why the base pieces were the way they were. You once said lightburn may not work well with some laptops. Maybe that is what occurred in this instance. @@TheLouisianaHobbyGuy
This has nothing to do with the latest version of Lightburn. The patch to 1.4.5 fixed a bug in the splines in the DXF import, nothing else changed. The multi, or sub layers were added in V 1.2.00 one year ago.
i try to buy from your site but it says my password is wrong. then it want send the email so i can change it.please help me spend my money.
I can't help with that, the site is fully automated.
Hello rich I just purchased the our Father file using PayPal and the money was taken out of my account already but no download not in spam and it says I have no orders. Try to reach out on that site but did not possible reach out to you on messenger no reply yet please can you correct this I really like that file. This is Dave from Long Island
Hi Dave, I don't handle the store, but I just called Linda and she said the only 2 orders from you are on 9/28/23 & 10/31/21. And she said she has no emails from you either. Please send the order # from your PayPal receipt to support@engraveandcutfiles.com or a copy of the transaction number. Pretty sure the order didn't complete, since my PayPal account only shows the order from 9/28. No messages from you in my Messenger either, so it's a strikeout all around 🤪
@@TheLouisianaHobbyGuy call Rich thanks for getting back to me I just looked at my account and the 799 is not in there anymore so evidently it didn't go through so appreciate the videos have a Merry Christmas and a blessed holiday
The original file was done at least 6 years ago... just sayin
This is a completely original file, 100% designed on my computer from scratch. And if you actually watched the video, the idea to finish it came from my friend at Valley Forged with his link in the description. Similar files have been done for the last 20 years on a laser if that's what you mean, with none of them defining the letters, which was the point of this video. There is one in Italy that's a stone carving done in the 13th century. "Just sayin" what? I do these videos to educate people who want to learn different tools and techniques in Lightburn. The file is a byproduct of the learning experience.
@@TheLouisianaHobbyGuy
I appreciate all the help you've given over the years. You're a master at lightburn!
