Making laser jigs the easy way! (Setup time is less than 1 minute)

  • I’ve had many request for a jig video so this approach is a little different and I like it. In this video I cover how to easily create a jig to use in your laser to engrave large quantities of products. This process will work no matter what size of jig you need. From design to setting the tool layers to align your artwork perfectly. I use Absolute Coordinates in the example. Once the jig is cutout and inspected it’s time to turn the entire jig into a tool layer and add it to your art library.

    As someone new to laser engraving, I just couldn't wrap my head around jigs and how to duplicate the same results each and every time. This video made it so easy to understand, and also taught me some things that I didn't know about Lightburn yet. Thank you for taking the time to show both the software and hardware side of the process and making it easy to understand.

    Thank you, this is exactly what I need. I was making a new jig each time because I couldn't figure out how to reuse the jig for the next item a month later. This solves that problem.

  • @smbrown
    @smbrown 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Perhaps more machinist mindset: I would be wanting some way to repeatably affix the jig to machine, pins into bed honeycomb for example. I would first install locating pins then cut jig. Targets maybe for confirmation.

    • @computercreationz
      @computercreationz  2 ปีที่แล้ว

    • @computercreationz
      @computercreationz  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      great question I have one more rectangle that is slightly inset each opening. this is done before I creat the cutout for the finger hole. if you have your snap to objects your design will snap to the center of the inner rectangle of each opening. thanks for the comment

  • @IIIofV
    @IIIofV 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Thanks for the information. Can I ask however why you don't use the feature in Lightburn called "Print and Cut" I've watched videos using that feature as well and it appears to be faster, less targets and your workpiece does not need to be perfectly aligned like your method does. Just curious but again your method works just as well.

    • @computercreationz
      @computercreationz  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Moving the jig to the laser head position is faster than changing the speed and moving the laser head to the target on the jig in my opinion. Thanks for watching!

    • @computercreationz
      @computercreationz  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      This was 1/4” Baltic birch wood. With a 50 watt co2 you will need good air pressure 20-35psi to get a clean edge. External air is a great upgrade

    Very informative! Question: When you are lining up your laser with your targets, are you focused to the surface of the plywood template? I ask because I know your battery packs stand proud of the plywood template so I assume you refocus to the surface of the battery pack? What, if any, effect, does that have on your alignment? Thanks for the video and in advance for your response.

    Are you using the cut and print feature to line the targets up when you put the jig back in because how does it know where the targets are when you move the jig in and out off the bed?

    • @computercreationz
      @computercreationz  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      No the print and cut feature is not used in any way in this process. Drive you laser head to the target on your desk top and manually move your jig target to the laser head. So you will always be moving you jig to the laser hear for this process to work.

    Great tutorial on making a jig. Just completed my first one using all these steps - a huge time saver and it came out great. Do you have a video showing how to engrave the pieces then once you place them in your jig ? I made one to hold 15 keychains. When I ran the file the engrave the keychains with the logos I wanted on them the laser head runs the entire length on the bottom five and traverses back and forth rather than doing each logo individually - seems to take a ton of time going this was (almost 3 hrs to do all the keychains) I’m sure I’m missing a setting somewhere. I would think if it did the logos individually on each keychain it would go faster - any help on that step? Love the channel and learning new stuff !!

    Thanks Robert. Great videos that have been very helpful to a newbie. I made a jig but having trouble using it. I'm in absolute coordinates and can line up the targets. But when I go to engrave the item in the jig it does not line up as it appears on lightburn. It is consistently an inch to the side. Any guesses what I am doing wrong? I rewatched this video multiple times and still don't have a solution. Thanks. Cliff

      @@computercreationz Hi Robert. Here is some follow up in case others are having a similar problem.
      In setting up Xtool with Light burn I used the file provided by XTool rather than have lightburn dicover my laser.
      Next in settings I turned off the offset feature and made my workspace slightly smaller on the Y axis. This prevented the arm from banging into the cables when I tried to go home. I also repositioned the limit switch to coincide with the smaller workspace.
      Finally, I discovered I always had to return to home before running the file. I could not start it from a target position. I don't know if this is true for all lasers but it was a needed step for the XTool D1 Pro.

    If my engraved item (slate) is higher than the wooden template how do I keep it within my focal depth? if I align my target on my 3mm ply and the slate is 10mm it either goes out of alignment or doesn't engrave correctly.. Any tips please

    How do you get your laser to show a red dot to be able to line up on the crosshairs?

      that’s called a beam combiner and is installed in the back of your laser.

    A suggestion to help some of your older viewers. Go into Windows settings and make your cursor arrow larger and a bright color like yellow. When you say I’m going to go over here and use the weld tool, I can’t see where your going or which icon you used. I’ve got to run it back constantly to figure it out. The info is absolutely great, I just have a hard time following your cursor.

    • @computercreationz
      @computercreationz  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Thank you for the suggestion. I adopted the larger bright yellow cursor shortly after this video. I’d you watch some of my more recent videos it’s much easier to follow.

    Im new to light burn. How would you measure a 22 oz Skinny Polar Tumbler to make a jig. I’m sure it’s easy but I’m lacking confidence since I and like so new.

    • @computercreationz

      doing tumblers without a rotary is tricky and I don’t recommend until you have a little more time with your laser and lightburn.

    you aligned your jig but arent you battery packs thicker than your jig - meaning after you align your jig you have to drop the bed?? this could allow error in aligning as the bed moves......isnt a solution to this to have your alignment marks on another peice at the same height as your battery packs?

    • @computercreationz
      @computercreationz  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      your bed going up and down doesn’t change you x, y alignment. I’ve never experienced an alignment problem doing it that way. the jig is pinned down so it can’t move. thanks for watching!

      No not really it can be any height as long as it doesn’t interfere with your laser head. You will focus on the material your engraving.
