Thank you for sharing. I had no idea I could even add a camera to my laser! This is awesome. It would really have helped with my last job. I'll probably purchase the lightning 4k camera to avoid lightburn conflicts but I'll try my old 4k action camera first as it's just lying around and can be used as a computer camera. Fingers crossed! Thank you for the guidance.
I have lots of other videos and tips for laser engraving. My latest camera is an 8mp camera from Amazon and it works great. ruclips.net/video/i6iKp4_TmAM/видео.html
@@TheClackShack I've been working my way through your videos. I fell for the price of the neje brand (neje 3 max) but your lightburn guides are invaluable!.
Why do you make things look easy? I’m trying to configure my camera to my xTool and 50 million things are going wrong. From having the gantry try to bust through one side to the laser head grind the gears to go beyond the specs of the engraver. My camera mount is PVC pipe. I can’t afford the nicer stuff. I’m using the alignment wizard and have no idea what the settings are. I mostly use inches and not millimeters. Fill speed was set to 114 and that’s when the gantry tried to bust through one side. The scale is another thing. I had no idea what it was until I adjusted it. Every time I click run the cut, the laser head runs into one side or another and never fires the beam.
Sounds like your laser is not at home on start or your workspace size is not correct. Take some time to do some more research and maybe you can avoid the frustration. My first camera was mounted on the bottom of a shelf. I have other videos if you search "camera" on my videos. Good luck..
I purchased this camera and my enclosure is to low for the camera to be of any use. I was forced to purchase a 150 degree camera that would work with the enclosure.
@@TheClackShack I know that is the usb power cable attached to the actual laser or computer? I can’t find any videos on where they are plugging there camera in? Reason I ask is because someone said they don’t want to buy a camera incase it won’t work on there laser do too lack of usb cable inserts?
@@TheClackShack yes sir it is and wanted to let you know I ordered my camera. But need to build a box, this laser puts out twice the smoke my Ortur 5watt. But I’m excited to start burning with my new ATEZR
There is probably a more scientific way to figure it involving math but I held the camera over the work area and figured where I could get the closest to the bed but still have good focus and the entire work area in the image.
Yes, I recommend still framing to be sure but it is very helpful for previewing the design on an image. You can also capture with the camera and trace the design.

@@franklinmaurer8383 , I just completed a review of the neje 3 max. It is a good machine
@@TheClackShack I like it but I have the one that was released 2 years ago. The current version is much much better than the original.
Interesting to learn about this -- also like your etched labeled boxes you shared in the last video.
Cool, thanks!
This is an interesting video. Thanks for the info.
Glad you liked it!
Great information thank you!
Glad it was helpful!

Yea, you need 20 inches or so for flat lens. I am using fisheye cameras for my newer builds
Hey stupid question does the camera power hook up to the pc or laser? If pc that’s how I have mine setup? Is that correct?
It’s usb powered

Excellent video, however, your intro sound is really loud, your audio should math the level of the intro.
Just a suggestion.
That was a long time ago. Better now

Eggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggslent. thank you for sharing
Thanks
Sorry if I’m overlooking it, do you have the camera linked?
I have several for different applications. What is your height you are working with?
Was your optimal height based on the viewing angle of the camera?
There is probably a more scientific way to figure it involving math but I held the camera over the work area and figured where I could get the closest to the bed but still have good focus and the entire work area in the image.
@@TheClackShack works for me, thanks.
Sooo..the camera shows a preview where the file will be cut on the screen? Sorry, I'm just learning all this.
Yes, I recommend still framing to be sure but it is very helpful for previewing the design on an image. You can also capture with the camera and trace the design.
Thats awesome thank you! It is similar to my silhouette cutting softwate, but this is sooo much easier! No importing! Yay
@@tiffannystipe9626 , importing still has its place. I have used the capture function and it works well as long as the graphic is clear and defined.
