1
00:00:00.5 –> 00:00:05.779
so I thought for this demo I do
2
00:00:03.629 –> 00:00:08.309
something a little different and
3
00:00:05.779 –> 00:00:10.190
basically show you LightBurn from
4
00:00:08.309 –> 00:00:15.509
start to finish making a small project
5
00:00:10.19 –> 00:00:17.670
so this is a fresh install so the first
6
00:00:15.509 –> 00:00:19.439
thing I have to do is configure this for
7
00:00:17.67 –> 00:00:22.140
the laser that I’m going to be using it
8
00:00:19.439 –> 00:00:23.880
with so if you bring up the settings I’m
9
00:00:22.14 –> 00:00:27.720
gonna be using a little K40 which
10
00:00:23.88 –> 00:00:30.240
has a 300 by 200 millimeter bed and it
11
00:00:27.72 –> 00:00:33.300
is not mirrored so that means the origin
12
00:00:30.24 –> 00:00:35.219
is down here so the red dot is the
13
00:00:33.3 –> 00:00:39.329
origin so this the bed is set up
14
00:00:35.219 –> 00:00:41.969
correctly the next thing I have to do is
15
00:00:39.329 –> 00:00:44.070
actually configure my devices so LightBurn
16
00:00:41.969 –> 00:00:47.399
can talk to more than one kind of
17
00:00:44.07 –> 00:00:49.260
laser so I have in my garage a big laser
18
00:00:47.399 –> 00:00:53.010
it’s got an Ethernet controllers when
19
00:00:49.26 –> 00:00:56.610
you set that one up here and it and here
20
00:00:53.01 –> 00:00:59.039
in my office I’ve got a cohesion 3d mini
21
00:00:56.61 –> 00:01:00.600
board running Kerbal connected to this
22
00:00:59.039 –> 00:01:02.190
k40 so I’m going to add that one as well
23
00:01:00.6 –> 00:01:04.170
I’m gonna set that as the default
24
00:01:02.19 –> 00:01:07.170
because that’s the one that’s connected
25
00:01:04.17 –> 00:01:10.950
to this machine so as soon as I hit OK
26
00:01:07.17 –> 00:01:13.140
it’s going to activate the default
27
00:01:10.95 –> 00:01:16.350
device and you’ll actually see the k40
28
00:01:13.14 –> 00:01:18.770
go through it’s homing sequence and down
29
00:01:16.35 –> 00:01:22.500
here on the screen I see Medi
30
00:01:18.77 –> 00:01:24.720
so the cohesion board is connected and I
31
00:01:22.5 –> 00:01:26.430
can jog around on the page by using this
32
00:01:24.72 –> 00:01:32.280
locate button a little locate in
33
00:01:26.43 –> 00:01:34.799
clicking so you can see the laser moving
34
00:01:32.28 –> 00:01:37.530
around there so I’m going to do
35
00:01:34.799 –> 00:01:39.750
something a little different than usual
36
00:01:37.53 –> 00:01:41.700
I’m going to actually make a little
37
00:01:39.75 –> 00:01:43.470
project to set up here so the first
38
00:01:41.7 –> 00:01:45.149
thing I want to do is import now I have
39
00:01:43.47 –> 00:01:48.770
hotkeys for all of this but I figured I
40
00:01:45.149 –> 00:01:48.770
would also show me clicking the buttons
41
00:01:49.49 –> 00:01:55.290
so this is an Adobe Illustrator file
42
00:01:51.89 –> 00:01:56.909
that has a bunch of emojis in it I only
43
00:01:55.29 –> 00:02:02.100
want one of them though I want the poop
Video Transcript for Lightburn Demo Project (Cont…)
44
00:01:56.909 –> 00:02:03.899
emoji so the dot dot dash line means
45
00:02:02.1 –> 00:02:09.060
that this is grouped so I’m going to
46
00:02:03.899 –> 00:02:10.890
ungroup it just remove this one delete
47
00:02:09.06 –> 00:02:14.100
the rest
48
00:02:10.89 –> 00:02:17.190
grab that guy and rip down onto my page
49
00:02:14.1 –> 00:02:18.930
and I want to put a little caption
50
00:02:17.19 –> 00:02:21.870
underneath it so I’m going to use the
51
00:02:18.93 –> 00:02:23.850
font tool right OOP
52
00:02:21.87 –> 00:02:26.250
that is terrible font and it’s way too
53
00:02:23.85 –> 00:02:35.790
big so I’m going to pick something a
54
00:02:26.25 –> 00:02:40.590
little different my god Rockwell I’m
55
00:02:35.79 –> 00:02:42.990
going to nudge this underneath here and
56
00:02:40.59 –> 00:02:45.120
line it up so they’re centered with each
57
00:02:42.99 –> 00:02:47.070
other all right so that’s roughly the
58
00:02:45.12 –> 00:02:49.050
look I’m going for but I want an outline
59
00:02:47.07 –> 00:02:51.959
around the shape I want to scan fill
60
00:02:49.05 –> 00:02:55.020
this and then do an outline around this
61
00:02:51.959 –> 00:02:59.280
so I’m gonna grab both of these use the
62
00:02:55.02 –> 00:03:03.030
offset tool and you can see I can adjust
63
00:02:59.28 –> 00:03:06.390
where that offset line is so I’m gonna
64
00:03:03.03 –> 00:03:08.310
do about two millimeters here so that’s
65
00:03:06.39 –> 00:03:11.250
roughly what I want but I don’t want
66
00:03:08.31 –> 00:03:15.150
these little stragglers in the middle so
67
00:03:11.25 –> 00:03:17.310
if i ungroup this and deselect the
68
00:03:15.15 –> 00:03:21.720
outline I’m left with just these pieces
69
00:03:17.31 –> 00:03:23.280
here and delete those this is basically
70
00:03:21.72 –> 00:03:27.030
what I want but I don’t think they like
71
00:03:23.28 –> 00:03:31.769
this spawn so I’m gonna go back undo and
72
00:03:27.03 –> 00:03:33.680
try something more like that that’s what
73
00:03:31.769 –> 00:03:37.560
I want it’s a little too big
74
00:03:33.68 –> 00:03:38.880
nudge that up just a touch all right so
75
00:03:37.56 –> 00:03:42.209
I’m gonna redo my outline again
76
00:03:38.88 –> 00:03:44.519
remembers my last setting so that’s
77
00:03:42.209 –> 00:03:47.550
pretty much the shape that I’m going for
78
00:03:44.519 –> 00:03:50.459
what I wanted to do is cut this outline
79
00:03:47.55 –> 00:03:53.760
and then scan the insides so I’m gonna
80
00:03:50.459 –> 00:03:56.459
change this first of all to a skin then
81
00:03:53.76 –> 00:03:58.890
cut what that means is it’s going to
82
00:03:56.459 –> 00:04:01.140
rest or fill the inside of the shape and
83
00:03:58.89 –> 00:04:02.519
then it’s going to run an outline so
Video Transcript for Lightburn Demo Project
84
00:04:01.14 –> 00:04:05.100
it’ll do that all in one pass you don’t
85
00:04:02.519 –> 00:04:07.049
have to duplicate the vectors for it the
86
00:04:05.1 –> 00:04:08.730
outline however I want to be different I
87
00:04:07.049 –> 00:04:10.260
want that one to just be a straight cut
88
00:04:08.73 –> 00:04:14.400
out so we’ll just change the cut layer
89
00:04:10.26 –> 00:04:16.620
for that and then I want to set up my
90
00:04:14.4 –> 00:04:22.730
skin and cut options so I’m gonna run
91
00:04:16.62 –> 00:04:26.450
that at 100 to 4% power
92
00:04:22.73 –> 00:04:28.690
I’m going to do it relatively course at
93
00:04:26.45 –> 00:04:32.030
only a third of a millimeter step over
94
00:04:28.69 –> 00:04:33.710
and then the post cut the run after it’s
95
00:04:32.03 –> 00:04:38.270
done I’m also going to do it three
96
00:04:33.71 –> 00:04:41.180
percent or sorry four percent so it’s
97
00:04:38.27 –> 00:04:43.190
going to do a raster over the full shape
98
00:04:41.18 –> 00:04:45.830
and then it’s going to run the outline
99
00:04:43.19 –> 00:04:47.240
of the shape and you can see that if I
100
00:04:45.83 –> 00:04:49.520
select these and I preview the cut
101
00:04:47.24 –> 00:04:50.840
that’s roughly what it’s going to do so
102
00:04:49.52 –> 00:04:54.590
you can see these this is where all of
103
00:04:50.84 –> 00:04:57.350
those lines are gonna go the final cut
104
00:04:54.59 –> 00:05:01.040
out pass I want this to go at 25
105
00:04:57.35 –> 00:05:03.050
millimeters a second I’m going to do 75%
106
00:05:01.04 –> 00:05:05.450
power and I’m gonna go total overkill
107
00:05:03.05 –> 00:05:07.310
and do five passes just to make sure
108
00:05:05.45 –> 00:05:09.410
that this cuts through you know normally
109
00:05:07.31 –> 00:05:12.020
you probably run a lower speed and fewer
110
00:05:09.41 –> 00:05:14.480
passes your mileage varies I just wanted
111
00:05:12.02 –> 00:05:18.770
to show off the feature I’m going to
112
00:05:14.48 –> 00:05:19.970
turn on path optimization I have no idea
113
00:05:18.77 –> 00:05:22.400
where this is going to end up on my
114
00:05:19.97 –> 00:05:25.280
lasers so the next thing I have to do is
115
00:05:22.4 –> 00:05:27.440
figure that out so if you look at the
116
00:05:25.28 –> 00:05:29.720
laser bit I didn’t use the locate tool
117
00:05:27.44 –> 00:05:40.820
just click on various places on the
118
00:05:29.72 –> 00:05:43.370
design and see where the over a bit I
119
00:05:40.82 –> 00:05:45.710
can also run a frame and this will
120
00:05:43.37 –> 00:05:47.840
basically trace the boundary around the
121
00:05:45.71 –> 00:05:49.730
cut basically this box that surrounds it
122
00:05:47.84 –> 00:05:54.350
with the laser head just show you where
123
00:05:49.73 –> 00:05:57.610
it’s going to go all right so that’s
124
00:05:54.35 –> 00:06:00.759
close still not quite
125
00:05:57.61 –> 00:06:00.759

[Music]
127
00:06:30.869 –> 00:06:39.460
that’s actually pretty good so once I’ve
128
00:06:37.089 –> 00:06:44.379
got that laid out figured out how I want
129
00:06:39.46 –> 00:06:46.710
it cut make sure my laser is on and hit
130
00:06:44.379 –> 00:06:46.710
start

thanks for watching
