Hello everyone. Yes I am well aware that LightBurn version 1.7.01 has been released 😅. As someone who is used to getting great results regardless of features, im in no rush to update. What are your favorite features of version 1.7?
It doesn't matter that LB can do these tasks for you now, what matters is that your explaining this enables people like me to think for myself when confronted with a "problem". Learning from first principles means you understand, not just remember "how to" so FOR THAT, Ithank you! It was a great tutorial, well explained and demonstrated! 👍👌
@@elguapo1507 Thank you very much for your comment! I think a lot of people forget that auto won't always work and some manual problem solving would have to be applied. Thanks for watching.
Excellent explanation. Thank you
When moving the longer rectangle towards the shape place your cursor on the line of the rectangle closest to the shape. It will turn into a wiggly line click and hold and drag to the shape line. It will snap in place. Works 100% accurately. You can zoom in to check but I have never had it fail when snap to object is on. Great video for resizing tabs.
Fantastic. Thanks for the tip. I will definitely try it
Great tip, thank you 🙂
@@castlecodersltd Thanks and thank you for watching.
Thanks for that very helpful. Is there a way of accurately resizing the slots as well?
@@ach2935 Thanks. I didn't realize I didn't address the slots until the video was up. To adjust the slots you can simply just select them and adjust the slot height to whatever material thickness you are working with. You can select multiple slots by holding down Ctrl and clicking them and then changing the height value. Make sure the padlock for aspect ratio is unlocked when you do this so it does not adjust the width of the slot. If you need more help please let me know.
May I suggest that you look at snapping. Adjusting the position of the rectangle would have been so much easier with snapping turned on.
@@StephenBoyd21 thanks for your input. I will look into it
I’m not sure I’m following. The design/cut is the same, but you’re using 5mm instead of 3mm. Would you simply just adjust the speed and power to cut through thicker material?
@@whitecollarworkshop No worries, and thanks for watching! This video isn't focused on speed and power to cut material; it's about how the finger joints fit together after cutting your shapes. Proper sizing is crucial to avoid joints that overhang or don't fit well due to differences in material thickness from what the joints were designed for. If you have some scrap material, you can test this. For example, if you use a project file designed for 3mm material but cut it from thicker material, the joints will fall short. Likewise, using thicker material for a thinner project file will cause the joints to overhang.
Why on earth are you using version 1.3 when 1.7 has just been released with so many more features?????
@@richards200 I know right. Haha I need a new license.
Can't you just use "RESIZE SLOTS" UNDER TOOLS?? Oh, I see you only have 1.3.01. Need to upload 1.7.01.
@@karlriley1314 lol. I will be updating soon.
