I’m etching glass and I want the rotary to only spin one direction. I’ve drawn this image which contains both a text object and an image. Lightburn separates them in the cuts/layers window, even though they are both on the same layer. When I burn them, even though I have “fill all shapes at once” set on both layers, it draws the image and then roll...

I have a project where I have two images, one is inverted, the other not. When I do a Preview I do not want it to be inverted so I deselect it. However, when I go back out, make a few changes and do another Preview, it is back to selecting ‘Invert’. It would be better I think to remember the user’s selection of whether he/she wants to Invert the pr...

My Omtech 50 W fiber will not frame. It used to. Still cuts fine but need to be able to position material. I feel this is in my settings. Can someone share their settings so I can try and get this working. Thanks

I’d like to create a list of single digit numbers that are mapped to the inside perimeter of a circle, but are vertically aligned at a specific location.At the moment I’m setting the text to follow the circular path, then ungrouping the numbers and rotating them one-by-one to that they’re readable at the 90 and 180 degree locations on the circumfer...

When I try to combine text as shown, the Weld function works sometime and not others. I really don’t get it.

In my ongoing quest to get my laser up and running, i have found the manufacturer has discontinued my machine and no replacement parts are to be had. It a Kentoktool JL5 5.5w. I have access to a Laser Tree 10w laser module with its own 12v power supply and an adapter board. The control box on the machine is 24v ( with a 24v power supply) . My quest...

Handheld laser welding is a new welding method that has emerged in recent years, and it is also a new application attempt of laser in industrial production. Its principle is to rapidly heat up the workpiece locally to melt through a highly energy dense beam, forming a molten pool and achieving welding effect. Compared to traditional welding, handhe...

when I create a flat project it generates x and y and perfect central position.if you activate the rotating roller or spindle, the positions are significantly staggered.then the dimensions are significantly altered as is the starting point on the y axis.It’s not a roller configuration problem but a problem that I can’t understand the cause of.It i...

I’ve got an excerpt from a creation I made that the laser path optimization is playing the tune to SuperTramp’s “Take the long way home”. Can’t quite figure it out.When I have border-type fills like this, I often change to offset fill to get away from the raster whitespace. But only when it makes sense.In this creation, which happens to be a saw...

Hi,I have an issue ever since I bought the Laser master 3 engraver. I cant manage to get the lines straight, the lightburn printing test doesnt even manage to engrave normal squares and I don’t know what to do in order to resolve the problem.

I’m trying to cut a project 3 ft long - so using the print and cut feature. After I cut my first of the three parts (i broke the project up into 1 ft incriments) I go to align my laser with the registration marks; however, after i move my laser head to the mark and choose “set first target position”, i then frame the registration mark and the laser...

I fully realize that I may be doing something to cause this, but the biggest frustration I’ve faced is how LB handles layers settings when reopening a project or starting a new one. Because at times, it seems random to me.I’ve had it change for some reason right in the middle of the project when I’m only using one layer.How is it supposed to work?
