Phenomenal video!! Thank you for thinking of the newbies. I had an Ortur some time ago (been about a year without a laser) and just got the Neje Max 3 anmd have been struggling for a week trying to get focus/speed/etc set up. This video brought it all back. Thank you so much!!
Glad it was helpful!
Rich Thank you so so much for putting these videos together! i really appreciate all the time you've put into these videos. Even the little tips are sssooo helpful! My learning curve is so much faster than if i had to figure out everything myself! May the universe return you the generosity you put out!
Glad you like them! The universe pays me back every day, in every way! Thank you!
Excellent tutorial. I spend days trying to understand this layer thing and now it is as clear as daylight. Love your channel and keep up the good work.
Glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching!
I'm really happy that I found your channel. I learned so much from your tutorials and you definitely saved me hours of trials and errors on my laser. I highly recommend your videos - there are pearls of wisdom for all levels of users. Thank you!!!
Glad I could help Joe! Thanks so much for the wonderful comments!
Hi Rich, Just want to say Thank you for your dedication to helping each of us learn Laser. I am definitely a newbie, I've had my Ortur 15w for a while but ain't done a thing yet. Just got Lightburn a couple days ago and I guess it's like learning to drive a car, take it slow, pay attention and start driving. Well going to give it a go New years weekend. Really appreciate your teaching, you cover a lot of ground at a good speed, although I have to tap the brakes(pause) a bit and then continue. Will be back in days ahead to check out your files etc and will be supporter one way or another. Thanks man. Happy New Year. Andrew
Petal to the metal Andrew... petal to the metal 🤪 You're gonna love it!
Thank you for the clear explanation. This really helped me to get more clarity in the settings.
You're very welcome! Thanks for watching!
You never cease to amaze me, so easy to follow and understand! Thank you!
Thanks so much Mitchel!
Fantastic tutorial! Thank you so much! Very thorough. I am really enjoying all your videos and learning so much from you. Thank you for taking the time to educate us.
You are so welcome Diane!
I just started with the laser hobby, I can't tell you enough how thankful I am to your videos.
Happy Thanksgiving and happy holidays
God bless 🙏
Same to you! Thanks for watching!
Just purchased a Sculpfun s30 pro. Looked all over the place for the power scale or something about it. Thank you a million! this video really helps get a grasp on things.
Happy to help Penny!
I have to agree with the other commentors. Your channel is a life (time) saver. I appreciate your willingness to share your experience and knowledge. Your tutorials are excellent and extremely helpful in overcoming the laser/lightburn learning curve. I wish you much success in your ventures.
I appreciate that Ben, thanks!
Very informative. I had watched another video on generating the grid but liked your approach much better. It made perfect sense not to waste time/material scorching things.
Awesome, thank you Mike! I'm glad you liked it!
Rich, I made my own grid by following along with you. Amazing what I learned by just doing this! Thanks tons!
Awesome! 👍 Thanks for watching Dave!
I have to agree, your video's have been very useful. I've found myself not using my laser much, because I couldn't figure out lightburn, how to manipulate images, traces, notes or power / speed setting. You have made it enjoyable and helped so much, Thank you
Glad to help Charles! Thanks for watching!
So glad I found this channel! Thank you so very much for your wonderful tutorials! I've been learning so much thanks to you.
You are so welcome Ludwig! Thanks for watching! 👍
Thank You! Thank You! Just received my laser a couple weeks ago. You have been great help for sure!
Glad I could help Richard! 👍
Good morning_ Just became a patreon sustainer and wanted to say you are my first Patreon subscription. I appreciate your knowledge especially as a relative newbie and the fact that you give away so much and don't try and nickel and dime us for every bit of info. Have a great day.
Awesome, thank you so much! I messaged you on Patreon.
Thanks Rich, your tutorials have been a big help. I've been playing with my new Atomstack A10 Pro for the past month. I'm trying not to waste materials. So, I think creating a material list will help a lot. I guess I have a lot more to learn from you.
Have fun with it David, and testing is not wasting material!
I have had Lightburn for about a year or so now. Knew nothing about lasering when I got my first Jtech Laser. After watching many videos on Lightburn I thought I learned a lot. I bought the Ortur Master Pro laser a few weeks ago and came across your you tube page. I have been addicted to watching your videos since. Since watching your videos I realized I knew very little on how to navigate Lightburn. I learned more in the last few weeks than I did in the past year. Your videos make it so easy to follow along. I have been doing so many things either wrong or the hard way taking so long to set things up. It's like I hit the laser lottery once I stumbled upon your you tube channel. You made lasering more fun now rather than frustrating. Like other comments on your videos, yours are second to none. Thanks
So glad to hear this Jim! That's why I make the videos!
I ordered a Ortur pro s2 and I haven’t even received it yet and I wanted to give up because I feel so clueless and dumb … your videos are a saving grace ,I am learning so much ! Thank u so much for for time in making these !
My pleasure Susanna! Don't worry, you'll be an expert in no time!
Thank you for your time and inspiration Rich
My pleasure Ray!
You have really helped me with your videos ,I had a 60watt co2 for years .Bought a atomstack X7 its like starting over. Thanks for all your help
Glad to help Bernard! Thanks for the comment!
I’m learning so much from watching your videos. I can’t thank you enough!!
You are so welcome John!
I just purchased my first diode laser. Atezr P10 and I love it. Thank you so much for this video. It's made a huge difference. Looing into doing slate coasters and cutting boards. We'll se how it goes.
Very welcome David! Thanks for watching!
Rich, I can’t begin to tell you how helpful these videos you’re making have been to my learning curve.
They’re easy to understand and easy to follow along to also.
Some people have a natural ability to teach even when it isn’t their profession. You’re that type of person.
Thanks Joe! I really appreciate that!
Me too, Until i had my boy set up another monitor to my right, I feel everything as individual was useless to me. These videos aren't long but are very instructive especially when I have Lighburn on the left and a video on the right to try eveything as we go...Thanks LHG for this...
had my xtool d1 pro 20w for about 3 weeks now was using xcs to no avail not really a vast amount support there, so i made the switch to lightburn and yes it can seem overwhelming to a newbie like myself with all the functions but it suit's my learning style. i purchased several grids with no real progress, then i come across this video so THANK YOU RICH for creating this video! I just finished creating my first grid following your video switching between screens. thank you for the tips and helping me learn lightburn in the process.
Great to hear! The newer versions of Lightburn now have the test grids built in! Click Laser Tools --> Material Test. A big time saver!
Thank You so much for this information and the file. I'm a newbie and appreciate all the pointers I can get.
You are so welcome Don! Lots more available in my Forum!
Excellent presentation and great insight into wasted time, energy, and consumables.
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you for showing and explaining how to set it up!
Glad it was helpful Garza!
Very informative. Your right the others don't say anything about changing or not using power settings for testing on different material or explaining that the diode has a short life span..
Thanks Karl.
Thank you so much....recently got my Diode laser, and I am so intimidated, but your tutorials are so easy to understand....I appreciate it
You can do it!
@@TheLouisianaHobbyGuy I did it....I freaking did it....first cut so proud....long way to go.....but I did it.....thanks again
Perfectly explained! Excellent job!
Glad it was helpful!
Just ordered a Ortur 20w so you must know how valuable your post is to me. Thank you!
*Hope you enjoy it!*
Rich, this is a great video for a newbee such as myself. working each step as you show in the video as you complete each step. Currently burning this on 4mm piece of white oak. Thank you!
Glad it was helpful Allen!
Rich very informative, but I ran into some issues (hardware and software)
with the test. How can I get some help?
This tutorial is great, learning so much about lightburn as well just watching.
Glad it was helpful Ryan!
It would be nice to have a baseline on speed and power for us that don’t have experience, although experience comes through doing things. Glad I found your channel. Keep up the great work
Thank you Victor!
Once again, a great video. The only thing I would mention is you can highlight just the part of the scale you want to output and turn on "Cut Selected Graphics" and then press "Start". I find this is an easy way to do it because I will forget or miss to turn on a burn layer or turn a layer off.
Great tip Kris, thank you! I should have mentioned that, but I'm really used to making full templates for each type of material.
I just got my ortur master pro this week and I'm struggling a lot on how to start, your videos are very much helpful and i wanna say thanks!
You got this! Keep watching and you'll be a pro in no time!
Just starting with lasers and your information is paramount. Thank you😄
Welcome Allen! Welcome to the obsession! 🤪
@@TheLouisianaHobbyGuy 🤣🤣🤣, You are very right, Rich; it definitely is an obsession😉👍🏻
Thanks Rich .. its taking some time to go and watch all your videos but very worth the time.
I appreciate that!
I found, an excellent explanation tomorrow I will put it into practice to get rid of the headache. Thank you very much for such an excellent explanation and for taking your time to teach us. Thank you
Glad it was helpful Nily! 👍
Thank you for this video, I will donate the proceeds from my first successful project to you my friend!!!
Thank you so much!! Hopefully when I get proficient like you, I will be able to help sharing info to others!!! Much appreciated.
Thank you so much cisscokid! I really appreciate it! 👍
thank you, hope you are always healthy ❤️
Thanks! 👍
Very educational, You cleared up a lot of issues.
Thank you Jim!
Excellent video - great insights shared here. Thank you.
Glad you enjoyed it Alan!
Great video as the others are that I have watched of yours, thank you
Awesome, thank you Pete!
I really appreciate you and your videos.
Thank you so much Kieth! I really appreciate it! 👍
Excellent information Rich
Glad you think so!
Thank you so much for all the information you give free, I have found this is not a common practice.
Glad it was helpful Dirge! I try....
Keep up the great work. Love your videos
Thanks, will do! The part two to this one should be ready tonight or tomorrow - raster image scale. Thanks for watching!
Hey Rich, thanks again for this great tutorial. One thing I particularly like, is that when you make your files available, they are on your website. I like to watch videos on my iPad, but I like to take my laptop which has LightBurn on it, and use it to download the files.
I try and make as many available as I can David. I also have an online store where I sell files, but there are a lot of freebies there as well.

Very helpful thanks
Glad it helped!
I thought I was a moron because I couldn't get the test grid to work on my machine! Turns out I was using an image of one and needed to create it and set the speeds and power levels. Your video made it easy! Once again, thank you for all your great videos!!! I'm pretty certain I have watched them all now (yes, to the very end :D)!!
Awesome! 👍 Thanks for watching!
Rich thanks am new and learning a whole lot with you thanks once again
Awesome! 👍 Thanks for watching Joe!

Great video, thanks for this one! Greetings from Germany
Glad you enjoyed it Thorsten! Thank you!
Just setting up my Xtool. I have no clue what I'm doing, I took on this task vs using the built in material test to try and learn the machine; this definitely helped, thanks.
Glad it helped John!
This is really cool. Great video.
Thank you very much!

My pleasure Rich!
A must have information, thank you.

Please do Dave! I cover lots of topics.
Thank you so much! I am brand new to this stuff, so this is very helpful!
Glad it was helpful! Lightburn now has a much easier material test built in. Click on Laser Tools --> Material test.
@@TheLouisianaHobbyGuy I figured that out late last night. But it was good to go through it step by step anyway. I understand it much better thanks to your video.
Rich, I am just starting on a laser , thanks for the videos so helpful 👍
Thanks for watching!
awesome video ,,,, just what I been looking for thanks
*Glad you liked it Steve!*
Merci pour cette vidéo très instructive...
Thank you and you're most welcome!
I made it right along with you. The only thing I had to do that wasn’t showing was to Window-Filled/Coarse or Smooth to see the squares actually filled in with color on the screen.
Thanks mate.
Awesome! 👍 Thanks for watching!

@@TheLouisianaHobbyGuy Received a Ortur 2 for X-mas and have been lovin it. Really, a big thanks for the work on the video. Great to have folks like you that share knowledge with others!
Thank you so much… I’m just starting to use a laser and at 62 I need good instructions.
You can do it Cindy! You'll be an expert in no time!
Let me tell you when they say never leave your laser alone they are 100% right, I finally downloaded your file Rich and I tested one of the cheap plywood coaster they sell on Amazon the one that come in a pack of 60. When the laser(sculpfun s9)started burning mate when it got to 100 power the thing nearly caught on 🔥, I stopped it immediately and I ended up adjusting the output at 40 % en every layer, even 50 it burns the plywood.
Any way great file and everyone should run this test
Especially on test grids Alan!
Thanks!
Thank you so much for the support Kat! 👍
I am yet to buy a laser cutter so I am finding your vid's useful in making my choice of machine so thanks
Glad I could help Terry!
So damn helpful... the penny is finally dropping thankyou
Thanks for watching!
great video, working with slate so useful Rich
Awesome! 👍 Thanks for watching!
Thanks for this video.
You bet!
Love that you share your files. Seems like a lot of laser TH-cam creators put up a link to their Etsy page. I'm used to the 3d printing community where most everything is free on thingiverse. Anyways, I'm new to lasers and lightburn, but I noticed in 1.3.01 there is a material test option under tools. Looks like it auto generates cut test grids. Has anyone played around with this yet?
Yes, I did a video on it.
Thank you for sharing. My first test grid had to be aborted because of too much power, possibly the test file that I used. This looks like it'll get me on track! Look forward to watching more of your videos.
Using a 15w laser master 2.
This was done on the 20W LM2, 5.5W optical output Rob.
@@TheLouisianaHobbyGuy so I should probably bring the power down a little?
Thank you :)
You're welcome!
Thank you Im new and your videos are fantastic
Glad you like them Brian! Thank you!
