I was cutting and engraving 1/8 ply when my settings changed from 90/20 to .3/55. Cutting and engraving speeds are all less than 10mm/s. I have reloaded the cut library and redownloaded one as well. Still nothing. It changed all of the settings in the library with speeds starting 0.xxx. Any advice is appreciated.

When I use lightburn’s matrix option there is a risk when the engraver goes to work on the other duplicate design.If I send it to record individually, the problem doesn’t happen.Can someone help me, please?

Question regarding filled lines: when burning rectangles (and circles) Lightburn sends the laser side to side.This is great for the filled lines parallel to the laser travel (left and right) but not so good for vertical filled lines, it takes a lot of time for the verticals. It burns a tiny piece of one end, travels across and then burns a tiny pie...

Above the bench I have a wide angle LightBurn Camera. The laser is mounted via fixation devices that use the dog holes. After doing alignment I find that I can put the laser away and get it back to th...

I prefer the Mac when designing and for general use. Today, I needed to get work done so I had the idea to set up Lightroom on a fairly new PC laptop. T...

I have a design (or part of below). I want to engrave the square around the date without engraving the date (oh I hope that makes sense). So the finished engrave should have the date looking black (black anodised aluminium) another example below.Any help on how to achieve this in lightburn would be appreciated.
