I'm very new, using a laser cutter/engraver for 1 month. I cannot believe how clear your videos are and how easy they are for an 80+ year old newbie to follow. I have learned so much and this will help my hopeless memory. Many, Many thanks Rich.
Awesome! 👍 Thanks for watching!
Thank you showing this time saver Rich. I’m always learning something new.
Glad to help!
I'm a complete newbie at this,but I was able to do 38 years in the Army, with a teacher like you I think I could cut the time for second career in half. LOL Thanks for all your great instruction. CHIMO
Awesome! 👍 Thanks for watching!
Very informative Rich. Thanks so much,
My pleasure Bruce!
Brilliant Rich. Now that I have my new xTool, I am watching a LOT of your videos. This one was great timing, as I started a NOTE BOOK last night with my settings LOL... this is so so so much easier. I appreciate you!
Glad to help!
So informative and helpful, as always. Thanks Rich!
Thanks Mike! Appreciate your feedback!
Thanks so much for teaching this in such a way that a newbie can completely understand
You're very welcome!
I've been lasering for two years now and somehow have never noticed the library tab. Thank you for this!
Happy to help!
Just started and found your page love it here. Lafayette Louisiana in the building
Howdy neighbor! 🙋♂️
@@TheLouisianaHobbyGuy all most gave up but I’m happy I found your channel 🙏🏼 trying out your settings and getting out my first perfect print.
Awesome! You can do it! 🤪
You have a voice that reminds me of my favorite teachers in life. Thank you for all you have taught me in my laser engraving journey.
Wow, thank you Scott!
Of the dozens of your videos I’ve watched the last 36 hrs, this was the most informative. Thanks!
Awesome, thank you Dean!
Your video is the easiest one to follow that I’ve found. Thank you for helping someone who’s not super tech savvy.
Glad to help!
Learned a lot. Thanks Rich!
Glad to hear it!
I am still waiting for my Laser to arrive hopefully today, and I trying to learn as much as possible. Your video is easy to follow and to the point. Thanks, Jim
Best of luck Jim, hope you enjoy it!
WOW, learned so much, these libraries are great, no more remembering and sticky notes. Thank You
Glad it was helpful Charles!
Thank again Rich! Another great video, I’ve been messing about for the last few weeks constantly changing my engrave and cut settings so easy when you know how! brilliant!
Awesome Paul! Glad you're doing well!
Thanks heaps! You are a fabulous teacher!
Thank you Kim! 😃
Very nice video. Clear, descriptive and to the point.Thank you
Glad you liked it Gilbert!
LHG, as before I mentioned I’m new to Cnc, laser engraving and even computers. I am so glad I came across your YT videos. I’ve learnt so much from you regarding laser and Lightburn. Thank you so much
Welcome aboard Ken!
Thank you so much, Great Video.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thank you for your videos! We are completely new at this and your videos are great for explaining to newbies like us! It can be mind boggling for sure!
Glad it was helpful Jill!
Found it! I asked a question on the forum... I did some more "lurking" and found my answer here. Thank you so much!
Fantastic!
Really helpful video. I am a big fan. Thank you!
Glad it was helpful Douglass! Thank you!
Novice in laser land, this is the kind of explanation I need. Not only is it clear but the voice-over is great and at the right tempo! Thanks
My pleasure Rik.
This solves a major frustruation I had with LightBurn. Thanks!!
Happy to hear that!
It's like slicer profiles for 3d printing. Good to see lightburn supports it too.
Yes it is! Only easier to use.
Super useful! Thank you.
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks a lot LaGuy! You really improve my work! I'm newbie to laser engraving and your videos helping me a lot! The way how you explain everything is just priceless. Greets from europe!
Happy to hear that Michal!
Wow, I really appreciate the training videos…. I am going to start setting up my libraries today! What a time saver…
Glad it was helpful John!
Hi Rich. Thats what I needed. Great class, really enjoyed , Thank you. Finally got my laser. 😀
Fantastic! Glad you're finally in business Bob!
It's good with music, too. Thanks a lot. New to all this. Waiting on an XTOOL D1 delivery to get started. Have Lightburn, your videos, forum and Patreon to get ready. Thanks a lot.
Awesome Wayne! Welcome to the obsession! 🤪
Wow what a great bloke you are, I have just visited your Forum and was totally overwhelmed by the amount of information that is available and importantly understandable. Over the last couple of days since receiving my Sculpfun S30 Max 20W I have been taking two steps forward and then three steps back, until that is I found your channel and what a great of fresh air it is. You explain things slowly and clearly and no matter if your new or experienced the content is of huge value. I had been watching the Lightburn channel but although very good I have found they assume a basic knowledge and don't really go down the the very basic level, not a criticism but an observation. Finding your channel has allowed me to really make progress on this fascinating hobby. Thank you thank you thank you from a wet and windy London UK
Wow! Thank you so much! I appreciate the comment!
Hell of a lot easier than the LightBurn tutorial well done Rich
Wow! Thank you so much! I appreciate the comment Roy!
Wow! Great video! Thank you for taking the time to show us. I haven't ordered my laser yet 1 week to go but I've been studying a lot. This will definitely help me.
I just did a more comprehensive video today! Check it out!
Great videos! These really help save a lot of time for us rookies.
Glad you like them! 👍
Thank you so much for this video! It helped me with a major mistake I was making. I didn't realize I could keep my settings separate from my layers!
Glad it helped! Thanks so much for watching! :-)
AWESOME! Thank you so much or this easy to follow, pleasant to watch tutorial
Glad it was helpful!
the more I watch the more I learn, great content
Great to hear William, thanks!
Thanks Rich! Yeah I'm the guy with sticky notes and was going crazy. Not any more. Big help!
Happy to help Bill!
Great information Thanks for all your Work...
My pleasure Richard!
Thanks for all your help Rich! I'm a newbie, and your videos have certainly helped!! And I love how your voice reminds me of "Frosty the Snowman"!!
Welcome Aboard! ☃️
Great video I will give it a try and can always return to this video if I get stuck.. Thank you very much. Always find you videos very good.
You can do it Leonard! Members of my forum also have access to a hidden members only area with free library files available for download! lahobbyguy.com/bb
I just did my first engrave/cut and took a bunch of notes and then I seen this video, Wow !! I can appreciate the time to set this up. Thank you 👍
You are so welcome John!
I’m new to engraving/cutting. Just got the Ortur masters 3 and enjoying learning from your RUclips channel
Thanks for watching Neal! And welcome to the obsession! 🤪
Another great information video 👍
Thanks 👍
Rich, Excellent Video!! I had already downloaded the library you provided from the bb so I just made some changes to the existing files. I added the new ones to the existing plywood and cardboard. I did do the metric to imperial conversion so was working with the right thickness. I’m telling ya,, this almost seems like drinking from a fire hose. Did my first 3 burns today on plywood today and at 80% power and 3000 they were great! Only problem I had was centering the art on the workpiece; took several frame attempts to get it close. Then went through your vid on cutting board family tree to get a tip on using laser at 1% so will try that. Your videos are a very great help! I will get myself set up to help support. Thanks again!
*Great to hear Elmer!* 👍 I have a new FAQ video coming out in the morning that you'll want to watch as well. Thanks so much for watching!
What is the link to the on the "bb", please.
Wow, I am just getting started and am so glad to have been pointed to your awesome videos! Great teaching style!
Glad you like them Bill! Welcome aboard!
@@TheLouisianaHobbyGuy So I assume that I have to pull art into the Art Library???
@@billstauffer4304 Yes, import to Lightburn, select the graphic and click Import graphic from project.
Thank you. I have seen many pull up the library to make quick work, but they never tell you how to find the libraries, or where in the program they are. Much appreciated.
Glad I could help David!
THANK YOU SIR, BEST EXPLANATION.
You are most welcome Orlando! Thank you for watching! 👍
Wonderful video and as always very informative. I think we all needed this for us that use LIGHTBURN. Thanks. I think I am watchin all your videos backwards. I jump around watchin them. hehe
Thanks for watching Karl!
Fantastic Louisiana. Now can you please tell me how to create .clb file. I just bought creality falcon 2. Thanks for the video mate.
Search library on the channel.
Hi Rich. Really good video and good explanations. I work on 2 different PCs when I work with lightburn, one at home and one in my workshop. Is there any way to move the library from one PC to another?
Sure, just use a flash drive.
Great Video...Thanks !!
Glad you liked it Darin!
I LUV YOU MAN, This is amazing.
Thank you! 🌞
Good afternoon Rich
Love your videos
I’m trying to figure something out I have a diode and I just got a co2 laser
I have a lasermatic and I have an art and cut library for that.
What do I and how do I switch cut and art library from one laser to the other?
Thank you
Sam
Click the Load button Sam.
i love your video. easy to follow and understand. it helped me a lot
Glad it helped! Thank you!
Very helpful. Thanks
My pleasure! Stay tuned for the Arts Library! I'm working on that one now.
I just got my ortur master 2on 3/3/22 and it seems like whatever I'm trying to do one of your videos Pop up and it's such a big help thank you
Awesome! Glad I could help Dale!
I am sure to already know this, but in case you don't your your name comes up so many times when someone has a tough question (easy ones also). You are making a difference to a lot of people
Question/Thought
Have you ever developing a list of your settings for your D1 Pro
I know that we need to do are on tests but I bet you have hundreds may more than a thousand different projects, and us new people would benefit from a starting point when it comes to power and speed.
I think people would pay money for this type of resource from such an experienced person like yourself.
Of course, there would need to be a disclaimer stating that it is only a guide and people need to test their machine
Let me know when it is ready to buy. 😂 Thanks
Thanks Ken, but getting starting numbers for any material takes testing with the specific machine being used. I do have lots of libraries on my forum for starting points for different lasers.
I have only just started to learn to use my 40 watt Creality falcon 2 pro. Your videos are a wealth fo knowledge and I want to thank you. I also want to ask if you have created a library for this particular machine? If so, do you sell it?
There are a couple of 40W libraries in my free forum in the members only download section: lahobbyguy.com/bb
@@TheLouisianaHobbyGuy thank you. I am honestly finding this to be a love/hate thing so far. The laser will not line up where I place the object to cut or engrave. It's always off on an axis. Calibrated this thing four times. Not thrilled overall so far. I'll keep trying though.
Question: so you could take the material tests and create a library for your laser according to the result of the test? I’m so glad I’ve watched your videos before setting up …..my biggest concern was having to figure out the settings every time and this pretty much puts that concern to rest thank you and please keep making videos. (Longer Ray5 10w)
Awesome! 👍 Thanks for watching!
Thanks for sharing, good video
Thanks for watching Rattana!
I am new to your channel. I have been using Lightburn for a couple of years and was thinking that i might not continue to use it as i really couldn’t see the relevance and things were just too hard to use. Wow was i wrong! After three days of watching your videos you have opened up an entirely new insight. I am now setting and learning the correct and easy way to use this software. Thank you for all you are doing. There are a lot of people out there that know how but they are hard to listen to and they don’t know how to teach. You sir are easy to listen to and you teach well. I heard you make a statement in one of your videos about using Lightburn to run the CNC? Did i misunderstand? I will look to see if you have a series on that also. Again thanks from Midlothian Texas!
Thanks! Yes I do use it for my Prover in 2D.
Great job Rich. Thanks for all your time and effort. Not sure if you have already addressed this question, but as a rookie how do we know what power settings and speeds we are supposed to assign to our project. And how does line, fill, etc. affect the final burn? If you have already addressed this in a video, let me know which one it is please.
Hi David, try this video, it will answer your questions: ruclips.net/video/VPuBrrhRedg/видео.html
Man, this really helped me out! I am preparing for my laser experience right now and soaking in a ton of information. In my head, I look forward to building my library with my own laser settings for as many types of materials I can get my hands on. That way, I don't have to run test files or examples except on new materials! Thanks!!
Great to hear Jason! A library and tested settings makes this hobby so much easier and more satisfying!
Thank you !!!!!
You're most welcome! Thank you for watching! 👍
Found it :)
Awesome! 👍
Nice man ♥ thx you for video like this ♥
Thank you! Appreciate the feedback!
Hey Rich, do you share your material library as well? I know each laser is going to behave different but might give me a head start on figuring these out and entering all their values. I'm also using the OrturLaserMaster2 pro so some settings would likely be the same. Thanks for all you do for this community!
Yes, of course! They are available in the Member's Only Download section of my Forum. lahobbyguy.com/bb/
Rich, your videos are really helping. I’m new to Lightburn and engraving. I have the atomstack 20. Would you tell me what settings you use for MDF board?
I don't have the Atomstack 20W Becky, but settings are gotten from running test cards. See my latest video to learn how.
Greart video but where do you get the library?
You create them silly! 🤪
Do I have something wrong? When I try selecting any engrave materials from library the assign button grays out and I can’t apply the info to any attribute. Cut materials work fine. Thanks
You can't assign photo settings to vectors and vise versa.
For me, it's a bit confusing, but after I do it a few times, I'm sure I'll get it. One question. I have two computers. One in the house that I work on my projects in the evenings on in Lightburn, the other is in my office in a detached garage where my laser is. What would be the best way to copy libraries from one computer to the other? Could I just make a duplicate of my file structure on say a flash drive, and copy it exactly to the other computer? I'm sure I would have to first make the structure on both computers, but will Lightburn see it from one computer to the next, as long as I point to it in Lightburn? Thanks for your videos...
Yes, just copy the main folder, Lightburn, and everything inside it copies as well. Before I got my NAS, I used to use a flash drive plugged into my Wi-Fi router. This way any computer on the Wi-Fi could access, read and write to it.
@@TheLouisianaHobbyGuy great idea on the NAS. I need to get my two LANs talking to each other. Then I can make that happen
Can you change the location of where Lightburn is looking for the libraries? I had to change my hard drive and now the new location is in a different drive letter and Lightburn gives error of cannot find library?
Just click the unload button Dennis. Then you can load it from the new location.
Hello, I love your channel, nobody explains like you. I congratulate you for helping people like me who have no idea how to start on this topic. Could you help me, how many mm are there from the laser to the mdf wood to be able to cut it. I have already more than a month with the Ortur Master 2 20w and I only manage to burn the 3mm mdf, it does not cut it. Thank you
The default focal distance for the LM2 is 29mm (from the bottom of the lens to the object) for engraving. To cut, you deduct 1/2 the thickness of the workpiece. So, for example, if you want to cut 6mm, you would lower the focus to 26mm Joaco.
@@TheLouisianaHobbyGuy Thank you
Do you know of anyone that may have a general list for line and fill specs for different materials for a sculpfun s30 10w laser? I'm working on it, but I wanted to get a general feel without cutting through a bunch of material trying to figure it out.
Libraries are in my free forums. lahobbyguy.com/bb
Hi, Rich, I am very new to laser cutting and I do enjoy your videos. I started my Art Library and I have a question. I named my first library Lightburn and I would like to know if I can change the name or do I start a new Art Library?
Yes, just go to the folder where you saved the library and rename it Dan.
Again, Interesting and very useful. Thank You. Saving the Material library sparks another question. Can you save the Art Library? I've already deleted the art library once and would not like to re-create it again.
Here's the newest library video Fred: ruclips.net/video/uqZyyfeubOk/видео.html
And Lightburn libraries reside on your hard drive, not in Lightburn, so you probably didn't delete it. Click load and look for them. Or you can search your computer for *.lbart and the search results will tell you where they are.
Do you have a library you would be willing to share for the thunder nova 35 100w. Purchased my first laser and would be good to use as a reference. Great video
I have a 100W library in the members only section of my forum Dustin.
Thanks for sharing all of your knowledge, I downloaded your material library and for some reason I can’t assigned to any cut
You have to have a layer selected to assign a library setting Reynaldo.
Thanks for taking the time to answer my question, I really appreciate, I am new into laser engraving and learning a lot with your videos , I will try that when I get home.🙏🏻
Excellent concept. Trying to learn all of the ways to be efficient and get consistent. I can see this is an excellent concept and one I will start immediately. Just curious, why do you have so many machines? Is it intellectual curiosity on your part or is there certain advantages that you are making use of? Just curious.
Originally, I had an Amazon store, selling slate coasters and wooden signs, so I had four dedicated machines running 8-10 hours a day. Now I want to keep up with all the brands for when people ask questions, so I accept the offers from the manufacturers to review their machines.
@@TheLouisianaHobbyGuy sounds like a good way to stay on top of what is going on in the industry. Must’ve been stressful running that hard to keep up with Amazon store.
@@RobSandstromDesigns That's why I stopped! Plus too many customers making returns of the exact item they saw on the website. When you stock on Amazon Prime, you never get the item back but you still get debited the profit! Only the personalized ones come back.
Great video Rich - but I have a question. I downloaded and loaded your library for the Ortur-20W - which is also what I have. Your menu here looks nothing like mine. As a for instance - I don’t see the Dollar Cut Board. Corrugated, etc. Did I miss something?
Good eye! Yeah, that's my library, customized to my materials & environment. The libraries I make available for download are the manufacturers suggested materials, cut & engrave settings.
@@TheLouisianaHobbyGuy OK, gotcha. Thanks for the clarification!
Thanks
Welcome!
Excellent tutorial ( as usual ) Rich. My only (ha) question left is the # column in the Cut/Layers menu. Is that associated in any way to the material library. If not, is it useful to use? Thanks again.
It's a descriptor column. You can name it whatever you want. For instance, I have layer #29 named, "Ebonizing Iron Acetate" and the settings for that layer are 2000/50. So whenever I want to run a job of this kind, I just put it on that layer. Once you name it and set the settings, click Make Default at the bottom of that window and it will save all of that info for that layer.
@@TheLouisianaHobbyGuy Thanks Rich. Great answer
Another game changing tutorial. Only for me i found the background music distracting 😊
This was a long time ago...
When I open the library window, I don’t see the screen for it. Am I doing something wrong?
I don't know what you mean. If you click on Window on the top menu bar, make sure there is a check mark next to Art Library.
Hey I like you tutorials very much I learn a lots from you tks again. I have a question I am French living in south of france, what is the difference between Etching and engraving and cutting I look on line, a bit confusing to be honest,can you explain with a tutorial if possible .thanks again
Bonjour Stephen, etching is a chemical process, usually done on glass and metals, while engraving is a physical process done via a machine with a router or a laser; both are actually CNC machines. Laser engraving is a process that vaporizes materials into fumes to engrave permanent, deep marks on other materials, like wood, metals, leather, cardboard, etc. The two terms are used interchangeably by hobbyists though they are completely different processes. Cutting is exactly what it sounds like; you set the intensity higher and the speed lower to cut all the way through the material. Thank you for the question! 👍
@@TheLouisianaHobbyGuy thank you thank you .........I try I try like to get setting right before saving then to library. I do specifically on leather but other materials will be for later
Very informative. I actually downloaded your library but I'm gonna create my own.
On to the next video.
Oh and you don't have to reply to my comments. I'm gonna watch each one.
Please do Lonnie! My libraries are only a starting point and are meant to be tweaked!
thanks for all your videos, do you know anyone that has downloadable lightburn library files for the Ikier k1 or the R30 laser head?
No, not yet, they're too new to the market. As far as I know, my forum is the only place you can get libraries.
@@TheLouisianaHobbyGuy thanks! Where is your forum? It’s astounding that ikier and atomstack have unprintable pdfs (one giant file with no page breaks) and can’t put all that info into a lightburn library file. Would make using the lasers 10 million times easier
Links are in the description of all of my videos.
Is there a way to save the Materials Test Generator setup so that new materials could be run without having to set the rows and columns etc again for each new material?
Yup, just hit the little floppy disk icon right next to where it says PRESETS and name it.
How do you make your text so nice and visible? I can barely see mine, especially the lighter colors
I burn the text hot.
I love your videos which are really helpful, the background music is very distracting though.
There are only a couple of very early videos with music. I eliminated it a long time ago Steve.
There is a type of person who makes these types of comments. No, I’m not attacking you, Steve, but I happened to have been involved in a project at Bose where they decided to play music in all of the cafeterias. The overwhelming majority of people were happy about it and many people had suggestions for the type of music we played, some folks didn’t even notice the change. However, there was a small number of people who were ANGRY about it. One guy in particular repeatedly went into the room where the music server was and DISASSEMBLED it. Security became involved. Cameras were setup to try and figure out what was going on. The guy was caught sneaking into the room and disconnecting all of the cables etc. A different guy was caught on camera messing with the external volume controls. He would turn the volume all the way down and then lock the controls, since he was involved in designing them, he knew how to do it.
So yes, there are people who are so bothered by the presence of music that they’ll protest and eventually take matters into their own hands to eliminate it. What I can tell you with certainty is that it’s you. I don’t know why, but I know that it’s only a small number of people. Those types often believe that everyone feels the same way, but they don’t. Most people enjoy music in the background. Some people lose their shit…
@@michaelkeymont501Jesus, took you all that time to write that ridiculous reply. I can tell you there are people that think they know it all and have everyone figured out. Typically they are engineers, which I'd be shocked to hear if you aren't one. Either way, you are one of those ridiculous people. He was spot on, the music is distracting and annoying. That's why Rich eliminated them a while ago. NOBODY likes background music in how to videos, except one lonely, long winded engineer that worked for Blose
@@LetsDIYIt Um, that was 2 paragraphs. It probably took me under a minute, maybe 2.
I told a related story, I didn't claim to have everyone figured out, but we literally conducted a study of the topic, with real people.
Relax. You're clearly one of the people that loses their shit.
@@michaelkeymont501 🤣🤣🤣🤣Conducted a study 🤣🤣🤣 This shit you people come up with 🤣🤣🤣
I wish the name of the library entry selected populated the Name of the layer you assigned it too, so you can see later which option you have assigned to which layer without having to compare the settings, or reapply to be sure...
I have a long wish list for the libraries. You can suggest it on their website.
So easy after watching your video. I couldn't figure out how to add a engrave option under like 3mm plywood I had a cut settings but couldn't for the life of me figure out how to add a option till this video. Thanks so much your a great teacher.
Glad I could help Darrin!
hi rich i have a material library but when i assign it to a layer and try to start the project i get a communication error but if i manually enter the details into the layer it works fine any ideas
Never heard of that one! Post it on the Lightburn forum. They'll be able to answer it!
While learning, I created a Material library and then saved it as suggested by you, but when tried to load it, the saved file didn’t show in the folder where I saved it. I am running the Trial version, is that the reason the file didn’t save in the correct format, which can be accessed by Lightburn.
When checked in the explorer screen, the saved file type is CLB File, whereas the software is looking for *.lbart format, is that so. Please help!
Thanks
You're on the tab that says Art Library. Switch to the tab that says Library and then you can load the clb file.
You are right, you know this software extremely well. Awesome, regards
Fairly new subscriber, even though I do not yet own a laser or lightburn I was able to follow along and understand exactly what you are doing.
Going to join your forum as well.

What big difference are there between the 20watt & 40 watt laser Neje offers?
One has 5.5W of optical output and the other has 14.2W (supposedly, manufacturer claims)
@@TheLouisianaHobbyGuy in your opinion for a 1st time laser buyer, what would you recommend?
Hard to say Tom. Depends on what you're using it for. For a beginner I would probably recommend a Neje model with the 30 or 40W laser.
@@TheLouisianaHobbyGuy ok, I just know in your videos you kept saying 20w...and I was leaning towards the newer 40w, but I wanted it to work with your programs after joining...which I have.
@@tommybrannon When I say 20W, that's 5.5W output. 30W is 7.2W. 40W is 14.4W.
How do I create a layer for an image, I want to use gray scale? Thanks.
I don't know what you mean Mike.
@@TheLouisianaHobbyGuy In lightburn, library?
I don't understand the question. You can put an image on any layer you wish and import any image into your library.
@@TheLouisianaHobbyGuy when I have an image on the screen in lightburn how do I create those settings into a new layer in library?
I'm still not getting the question Mike, sorry. The library saves your images and vectors. Settings are on the Cuts and layer tab.
how far off are these for bmaking the material list from when you did them win 0.9.1 i think it said to 1.4.00? I know when i was trying to follow along i was getting so mad at myself for missing some small something. i had to have missed it. when you went into the fill parts my brain was either shutting down and taking a rest or my eyes were playing tricks on me. then i realized you might be doing from older version. so when you make the second set in fill it does like a second subsection if im saying that right.😁🤣
Lightburn keeps upgrading the software, so some of the older videos no longer apply.
@@TheLouisianaHobbyGuybut you give a great starting point as soon as i figured the difference out it was spot on from then on. thank you for all you do my friend
