Sir, I’m so new to this arena that I haven’t even been born yet. I felt like I’d become an armchair expert before purchasing my laser just by watching your channel. You are a true blessing and it’s evident in this video alone. The thousands of hours you, undoubtedly, put into providing these resources in such detail is amazing. I can’t wait to get started exploring, learning and creating because you have truly inspired me. ❤Thank you so much.
This is not just your hobby...it's your PASSION. I'm new to laser engraving and purchased a Comgrow Z1 10w based on lots of research including your review. I had no idea how complex yet simple using lightburn would be. Without this resource I would have spent countless, frustrated, and long hours trying to get it right. This is so amazing. I have woodworking experience and spent a fair amount of time on inkscape developing patterns for the scrollsaw. May the Lord bless you for your willingness to freely share and the dedication you have put into this resource, as well as, this channel. What an amazing gift. Thank you seems so inadequate, yet what else can I say but THANK YOU!!!
You Rock!!!!!!! I love just browsing around your website! It is so informative. Thank you so much for blessing us with this resource. I will be donating to your cause!!
Thank you!! So many RUclips videos overcomplicate laser content but you have a way of simplifying the process for the average beginner. Thank you so much for what you do
Fabulous contribution to the community. I am a lab technician at a school in Tasmania and I help teach high school students. You have eased the learning curve for me incredibly and this in turn is making it easier for my students. we are laser cutting parts for submersible ROV's and Model solar cars. students are seeing the benefits of both additive and subtractive manufacturing at a level that gives them an advantage when looking for jobs when leaving school. So thank you Rich you are making a difference.!
I just received my first laser for Christmas. I didn’t know where to start. Thanks to you I have a fighting chance. Thank you for your slow pace teaching
Lmbo😂. You were just talking about having your desk organized and I have just spent the last half hour looking for my stupid drillbits because I can find everything else but them so I get it. You’re right.!!!❤😂😂😂
I’m somewhat new to lightburn and have self learned for the past year. I came across your videos and let me tell ya, you make everything so easy to understand! You must have been a teacher before retirement! Keep up the good work!
Rich, You're the BEST!!!! Thank you for all you do; much gratitude from myself and everyone else who has benefited from your real-world insights and info. It's like having a knowledgeable mentor to help with the things that really make the process work.
Just started watching while waiting for my laser. You said you were at IBM in the 70s in the PC division. More than likely you knew people my dad worked with or even worked with him. Crazy small world.
Rich, you have made my life so much easier. I was burning up a lot of material until I watched this tutorial. Your tutorials have become my go to far all my laser questions. Thank you for all your time and effort.
Im just getting started with my OLM 3. Hoping it will compliment with my wife's wedding cake business. Info like that which you provide is absolutely invaluable to the process. Kindest regards kind Sir 👍
Thank's Rick, new to this laser printing, you make things so much easier with your tutorials. With regards to the libraries, I followed everything but then was looking in the wrong libraries. Your detailed explanation and video helped me out tremendously. Nobody does it better! Thanks again.
Thank you SO MUCH for this video and site. I've only had my laser for a few days and have really struggled getting into lightburn and engraving. This helps and I feel like I understand enough to take off now. THANK YOU!
I want yo start off by saying thank you for this! You're making this a lot less threatening for a complete newbie. I've been binge watching all of your videos all this week trying to learn as much as possible.
You are amazing and self-less in your willingness do these videos as you say to "inspire.. create.. learn.. teach.. help someone today." You have helped and continue to help and inspire me. Thank you so much for all your time and effort you put into and have put into everything!
THANK YOU for the work you've put into this. I just downloaded lightburn and am ordering the neje 3 max next week and donating to you site. Watching your videos has really made a difference.
Thank you for doing this video explanation. And appreciate how genuinely patient you are in explaining the what and why along with the important HOW. Keep the excellent work up. I'm going to put to use everything you explained.
Love the channel. This video explained a lot to me. Maybe I'm the only one using Lightburn on more than one computer--one in my shop and the other for designing at work far away. Lighburn's license allows up to two computers--and three if you ask nicely. I used your folder structure and put my libraries in my Microsoft OneDrive folder so the same libraries are available where ever I am and i can work seamlessly. This would work the same for Google Drive if that is your preferred cloud storage. And one other benefit is you get a cloud backup of your files! Keep up the good work!!
Unrelated, but your comment about working for IBM in the late 70s jarred some memories. I operated many of the IBM machines in the early 70s (sorters, interpreters, reproducers, 407 accounting machine, etc. and punched/verified 1000s upon 1000s of Hollerith cards. Probably few of us left that knew what those holes meant. :)
Can you imagine seeing a modern cellphone back then Wayne? It amazes me how many things from Star Trek and the Jetson's have become reality in our lifetime! I saw they just launched a Jetson's like drone car recently!
@@TheLouisianaHobbyGuy And Dick Tracy's watch. Our shipboard hi-tech was a Sperry/Univac 1500 with a teletype as a keyboard, and IBM keypunch/verify machines. 90% of my work on the keypunch was using the numeric keys, so my muscle memory still reverts back to the placement of those keys which are reversed from today's numeric keypad on the keyboards. It messes with my brain. Oh well... I'll stop waxing nostalgic. I really appreciate your videos. I have an Aufero Laser 1 on its way and want to learn as much as I can before it gets here and this old brain needs your kind of detailed explanations.
Rich, thank you for your, relaxed information filled videos. I purchased an engraver a couple of years ago, played around with it and put it away. I am looking forward to getting to know my engraver and also my new CNC, I was not aware of the capabilities of Lightburn. Cheers, I will be checking and looking forward to more of your content
Rich, you are phenomenal! I just received my Xtool D1 and Lightburn...you have helped me immensely. The learning curve is slightly steep for this old dog, but you have helped open up a world of creativity for me. Thank you.
Hey Rich, You truly are the best! When you get into something like lasers , its a very specific interest and It not like you can just go down to your local laser shop and find a community to learn from or to resolve issues etc. For this reason your channel is invaluable, and the fact that you actually respond to us all is just amazing!!! Thankyou !
Rich this was fantastic I was making the mistake of clicking open instead of saved you are a fantastic teacher and within the next couple days you have one my support I will soon become a patron thank you so much
Just discorvered this channel and the forum. Brilliant resource for someone like me who's completely new to this hobby. Subscribed and looking forward to waqtching the other videos on the channel.
Rich, too new to ask intelligent questions yet, so I will spend my time absorbing what you are showing, and thanks again for all the time and effort you have expended in helping others. Just retired as well and looking forward to Laser usage and CNC as well.
Thank you for all you do..I registered earlier today and look forward to dive right in; unfortunately I can't do much during the week because there is a place I have to go to that keeps my paychecks lol...
Thank you for putting this together - I've been using my ownself-built materials library for a while. This video gave me the push I needed to start using the art library too!
Hello Rich, I'm new to your channel. I have a channel as well but it's for a completely different hobby but, we still share some of the same hobbies. I'm new to the laser hobby but I am not new to cnc. I have a cnc plasma cutting table and cnc carving (router) machine and seven 3d printers. I've recently purchased a new laser (Sculpfun S9) and I am still learning to use it and Lightburn. I am a designer and still somewhat of a quick learner in my older age. I have been using cad programs for years. I've used other programs similar to Lightburn but more complicated. All of the design programs I use for cnc, whether it's for carving or 3d printers are very similar in that they use layers. I've been watching several of your video's and really enjoy watching you. You move at a pace that makes it were anyone can learn. I've watched other RUclipsrs video's and some of them go through things so quickly you have to watch it several times to understand it. I subscribed to your channel and joined your forum. I look forward to watching your video's to continue learning about laser cutting and using Lightburn. Thanks for your videos & art files and keep up the good work,, (Dan) Chief Drone
Thank you very much for this clear and engaging explanation! Until now, I didn't quite grasp the functionalities of the Library and ClipArt. Excellent work, and a big greeting from Spain!
A very succinct tutorial on Lightburn libraries. As usual Rich you've captured the essence of the subject masterfully. I believe you are by far the best Lightburn educator on RUclips. The LHG forums are a really great resource for info too. I check it out frequently and try to answer questions whenever I have something to add. Thanks for the video!
Thanks for all of the great information. I went to download the cut & engrave library for my laser engravers but couldn't find them (Creality Falcon 10W, Two Trees 5W). When I hit the lottery I'll be able to buy a higher end laser.
New Subscriber here, also to the Forum, So glad I have found your channel, as I am new to lightburn, and Lasers in general. But I have so many questions, Like i was wondering why you cannot set different materials and their settings etc, and found your video which explained it clearly and precisely, which i respect, 3 videos so far and i have learnt more than any other of the lightburn videos out there. You sure seem to be a fountain of knowledge. And will save this being just another hobby that goes by the wayside through boredom, with what seems like endless possibilities for projects and ideas. So Thank You.
Wow! Thanks so much for that! I created this channel to help a few friends and it's grown into a full time hobby for me. So many people drop out of the hobby before really understanding all of the possibilities and the joy it brings! This is one of the most satisfying hobbies I have ever had, and if spending all this time creating videos saves just one person from dropping out, it's worth it! It's a good feeling to know that my simple lessons have made tens of thousands of people happy with the gifts they received from Makers like you! For some, it's even lifechanging! Thanks for the sub! And welcome to the obsession! 🤪
Newbee here. You are awesome. Wish I had found your information a month ago but your information is so helpful, Just can't say enough. Great that you explain in such detail and that you do it live. How about that sharing of the Libraries etc. So cool! Thank you!
Thanks for sharing your years of knowledge and hard work. I just got my new xtool d1 pro 20w/IR combo also got the rotary attachment. I joined your forum and look forward to trying my hand at making one of your designs. Thanks again for helping take some of the "work" out of it, so I can get straight to burning stuff. lol
Thank you Rich for your very informative videos. I'm new to lasers and have purchased a diode laser. Your videos have really got me started and I've learned a lot in the past few weeks. Much appreciated
Hi Rich your videos are mustered I am new to lightburn and laser engraver I have the ortur master pro2 s2, and I have leaned so much so far with ease and I will carry on watching. Many thanks Voyager1
Thanks very much Rich!! Minstrels will write songs about you! I'm 5 days into my Laser CNC journey and feel like you just teleported me about a year down the road! If there was a Mount Rushmore of Laser expertise....you'd be on there! I have a Jinsoku LC-60 A (Sainsmart) which seems to be an excellent machine for the money (time will tell) and there's not much on the forum re: Sainsmart products so I may be able to start a post re: those machines. But its effectively the same power as the Ortur Laser Master Pro...5.5 watt output. Hopefully I can add some value! Thanks again!
@@TheLouisianaHobbyGuy hey Rich! It is a 5.5 watt on the LC60 A…just curious if you’re planning a review of that unit? Seems to be great so far, but one issue that you might be able to point me in the right direction….when I engrave a ‘grid’ or a ‘template outline’ on my spoil board, the ‘Y’ axis lines are perfect, but ‘X’ axis lines have a little up and down irregularity?? Not wavy, more like short vectors that subtly change direction ( +\- like 0.5 mm) not wildly off but has to be a way to tweak? All my images and graphics seem to be perfect and unaffected, but weird why ‘X’ axis straight lines aren’t straight. Thanks in advance for giving this a read! And for your amazing channel/forum/assistance!! Best, John
@@johnsherwood3213 The only thing I can think of would be a hardware issue. I don't see any eccentric nuts on mine so I’m at a loss on what it could be. I’m not having that problem at all.
GREAT JOB, GREAT INFORMATION, THANK YOU FOR ALL HARD WORK, I AGREE, BEING ORGANIZED ON THE COMPUTER AND ALSO IN THE WORK SPACE, I AM THAT SAME WAY WHEN IT COMES TO CRICUT, I HAVE A TON OF IDEAS, DESIGNS, GRAPHICS, AND FONT STYLES, ITS GREAT THAT MOST OF THOSE FILES ARE USABLE WITH THE ATOMSTACK, AND SINCE I AM NEW TO LASER ENGRAVING, IT WILL TAKE SOME TIME, THANK YOU AGAIN AND KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK
COOOOOL!!. just registered .I too started with the good ole GREEN IBM and punch cards , back in the day. I agree, FILE STRUCTURE IS PARAMOUNT!!, Ha ha, sorry for the CAPS.
Appreciate all your hard work man!! I am definitely donatiing as you saved me a crapload of time figuring out libraries! They are a great starting point to get me going! Thank You!!!
Thank you so much for your amazing videos. I just registered on your website. I just purchased a laser and am currently working to get all of the ventilation and electricity issues worked out. But I’m learning so much from you. ❤
Your Videos are incredible ! What you are doing is invaluable to the laser community. Im coming from the hobby CNC world. Getting really interested in purchasing a laser. You are the Man Rich !
Thanks for the video, I had the same question about not being able to load files to Lightburn now I know why. Many thanks, I will be watching a lot more
Thank you for all the work and efffort that you have put into these videos and your files. I am just getting started in the laser hobby and i am looking forward to exploring all of the possibilities. I purchased a Atomstack A5 M50 pro laser to get started with and i am looking forward to seeing what it can do...and what i can make it do. Your videos and tutorials are going to be a huge help with that process!
Thank you Rich! I truly appreciate all you dedication and support to all of us new to laser engravers. I recently purchased the Atezr P20 and would have been totally lost without your videos and website!
Brilliant video Rich Im a fan and only getting into laser engraving and cutting im delighted i stumbled across your stuff and just joined your forom regards from Ireland
Thank you so much for another awesome and very informative video. Newbie here, so glad I found you! I very much appreciate your time and effort making videos for people new to laser world like me.
You really are amazing! Thank you so much for all that you do! I know how much time goes in to designing even just one file and you have hundreds (or more) available for us for free?? Wow! I just got a diode laser for Christmas and your channel has really taught me a lot! Thank you again!
I just went through the tutorial; I Have a longer ray5 20w - downloaded what i thought was the correct material library. however, i can't associate the library with the device. Can you please point me in the correct direction?
You absolute legend - thank you Sir! Fantastically well explained, and a superb resource ... subscribed, and very much looking forward to more awesome content!
🙂I love all you do and appreciate all the information you provide. I was hoping to see the Air Force Graphic used in the video as part of the Military art download. As a retired Air Force Member, that is what I was hoping to find 🙂 Thank you for all the great info you share. (I used to live in Alexandria, LA)
Hi Rich !!! I m from Brazil and buy an Sculpfun 20W promax in amazon. Starting slowly but surely. Thanks for your videos . They are so helpfully. I learn a lot of settings in Lightburn with you.

Thanks for all of the great information. I went to download the cut & engrave library for my laser engravers but couldn't find them (Creality Falcon 10W, Two Trees 5W). When I hit the lottery I'll be able to buy a higher end laser.
They're in my forum.
I have really enjoyed your lesson. You should consider doing so radio voice over work.
Thanks so much!
Exactly what I was looking for. Appreciate your great work and research that you're putting into all of this.
Glad it was helpful Andreas!
New Subscriber here, also to the Forum, So glad I have found your channel, as I am new to lightburn, and Lasers in general. But I have so many questions, Like i was wondering why you cannot set different materials and their settings etc, and found your video which explained it clearly and precisely, which i respect, 3 videos so far and i have learnt more than any other of the lightburn videos out there. You sure seem to be a fountain of knowledge. And will save this being just another hobby that goes by the wayside through boredom, with what seems like endless possibilities for projects and ideas. So Thank You.
Wow! Thanks so much for that! I created this channel to help a few friends and it's grown into a full time hobby for me. So many people drop out of the hobby before really understanding all of the possibilities and the joy it brings! This is one of the most satisfying hobbies I have ever had, and if spending all this time creating videos saves just one person from dropping out, it's worth it! It's a good feeling to know that my simple lessons have made tens of thousands of people happy with the gifts they received from Makers like you! For some, it's even lifechanging! Thanks for the sub! And welcome to the obsession! 🤪
Newbee here. You are awesome. Wish I had found your information a month ago but your information is so helpful, Just can't say enough. Great that you explain in such detail and that you do it live. How about that sharing of the Libraries etc. So cool! Thank you!
You are so welcome! Thanks!
I really appreciate your hard work and thank you for being a positive source for this community.
So nice of you! Thanks! Being happy is the key to life! ✔️
Love your channel. Love your voice, demeanor and teaching skills. In a ocean of hacks you teach the fundamentals the others don’t even know exist.
So nice of you, thanks!
Thanks for sharing your years of knowledge and hard work. I just got my new xtool d1 pro 20w/IR combo also got the rotary attachment. I joined your forum and look forward to trying my hand at making one of your designs. Thanks again for helping take some of the "work" out of it, so I can get straight to burning stuff. lol
Awesome! 👍 Thanks for watching!
Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU! That fill/line thing was driving me nuts!
Glad it helped James!
Thank you Rich for your very informative videos. I'm new to lasers and have purchased a diode laser. Your videos have really got me started and I've learned a lot in the past few weeks. Much appreciated
Thank you so much Kobus! I really appreciate it! 👍
You are awesome! I've learned so much from you. I'm a CNC'R but just got my xtool. I'm a supporter! Thank you for your time.
Awesome! Thank you Kathryn!
Thanks for sharing the information. New to laser "art". Great resources! Got my first sculpfun for Christmas. Cant wait to learn and create.
Have fun Petrus! Welcome aboard!
Hi Rich your videos are mustered I am new to lightburn and laser engraver I have the ortur master pro2 s2, and I have leaned so much so far with ease and I will carry on watching.
Many thanks Voyager1
Wow! Thank you so much Stephen! I appreciate the comment!
Thanks for revisiting libraries, great, concise information Rich.
My pleasure Rob! Thanks for watching!
Utterly brilliant videos and content. Registered on forum. Thanks
Welcome aboard DL!
Thanks Rich, We appreciate all your lessons and files..... I now have a huge library.
Wonderful! Now get making and show it off on my forums! 😎
Thanks very much Rich!! Minstrels will write songs about you! I'm 5 days into my Laser CNC journey and feel like you just teleported me about a year down the road! If there was a Mount Rushmore of Laser expertise....you'd be on there!
I have a Jinsoku LC-60 A (Sainsmart) which seems to be an excellent machine for the money (time will tell) and there's not much on the forum re: Sainsmart products so I may be able to start a post re: those machines. But its effectively the same power as the Ortur Laser Master Pro...5.5 watt output. Hopefully I can add some value!
Thanks again!
I have an LC-60 John, and it's a fine machine! Pretty sure the diode is 6W, slightly stronger than the OLM2 Pro.
@@TheLouisianaHobbyGuy hey Rich! It is a 5.5 watt on the LC60 A…just curious if you’re planning a review of that unit? Seems to be great so far, but one issue that you might be able to point me in the right direction….when I engrave a ‘grid’ or a ‘template outline’ on my spoil board, the ‘Y’ axis lines are perfect, but ‘X’ axis lines have a little up and down irregularity?? Not wavy, more like short vectors that subtly change direction ( +\- like 0.5 mm) not wildly off but has to be a way to tweak? All my images and graphics seem to be perfect and unaffected, but weird why ‘X’ axis straight lines aren’t straight. Thanks in advance for giving this a read! And for your amazing channel/forum/assistance!!
Best,
John
@@johnsherwood3213 The only thing I can think of would be a hardware issue. I don't see any eccentric nuts on mine so I’m at a loss on what it could be. I’m not having that problem at all.
GREAT JOB, GREAT INFORMATION, THANK YOU FOR ALL HARD WORK, I AGREE, BEING ORGANIZED ON THE COMPUTER AND ALSO IN THE WORK SPACE, I AM THAT SAME WAY WHEN IT COMES TO CRICUT, I HAVE A TON OF IDEAS, DESIGNS, GRAPHICS, AND FONT STYLES, ITS GREAT THAT MOST OF THOSE FILES ARE USABLE WITH THE ATOMSTACK, AND SINCE I AM NEW TO LASER ENGRAVING, IT WILL TAKE SOME TIME, THANK YOU AGAIN AND KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK
Right on! Don't worry, you'll be an expert before long!
COOOOOL!!. just registered .I too started with the good ole GREEN IBM and punch cards , back in the day. I agree, FILE STRUCTURE IS PARAMOUNT!!, Ha ha, sorry for the CAPS.
Right on Eric, you understand me! 🤪
By far the best! Straight to the point lots of cook designs very very helpful!
Thank you so much! 👍
Thanks for this video... first time laser owner and this helped me out a lot about the library. Very informative 👍

Thank you! Just a quick question... are there now libraries for the Creality Falcon 12w? Thanks again!
Not that I know of.
Thank you so much for your amazing videos. I just registered on your website. I just purchased a laser and am currently working to get all of the ventilation and electricity issues worked out. But I’m learning so much from you. ❤
You are so welcome Shelly! Glad to have you aboard!

Glad I could help!
Great video looking forward to joining your group
I appreciate that, *thanks!*
Thank you for all the work and efffort that you have put into these videos and your files. I am just getting started in the laser hobby and i am looking forward to exploring all of the possibilities. I purchased a Atomstack A5 M50 pro laser to get started with and i am looking forward to seeing what it can do...and what i can make it do. Your videos and tutorials are going to be a huge help with that process!
Glad you like them!
I am so grateful I found this, Thank you for putting in the time and effort to help others learn this cool technology
Glad it was helpful Barry!

Thank you, very helpful.
Glad it was helpful William!
Thank you so much for another awesome and very informative video. Newbie here, so glad I found you! I very much appreciate your time and effort making videos for people new to laser world like me.
Glad it was helpful Mel! Welcome!
You really are amazing! Thank you so much for all that you do! I know how much time goes in to designing even just one file and you have hundreds (or more) available for us for free?? Wow! I just got a diode laser for Christmas and your channel has really taught me a lot! Thank you again!
Wow, thank you Cindy! Glad to help!
Hi Rich, is there a Library for a 22w Diode?
Yep
I just went through the tutorial; I Have a longer ray5 20w - downloaded what i thought was the correct material library. however, i can't associate the library with the device. Can you please point me in the correct direction?
I skipped a step... Sometimes one needs to stop and start lightburn for things to work.
I've never had to Seth.
You absolute legend - thank you Sir! Fantastically well explained, and a superb resource ... subscribed, and very much looking forward to more awesome content!
Wow! Thank you so much! I appreciate the comment!
🙂I love all you do and appreciate all the information you provide. I was hoping to see the Air Force Graphic used in the video as part of the Military art download. As a retired Air Force Member, that is what I was hoping to find 🙂 Thank you for all the great info you share. (I used to live in Alexandria, LA)
It's on my free forums. lahobbyguy.com/bb in the members only download section Ron.
@@TheLouisianaHobbyGuy I grabbed the military file and no Air Force graphics in it. Lots of Navy and Army.
Hi Rich !!! I m from Brazil and buy an Sculpfun 20W promax in amazon. Starting slowly but surely. Thanks for your videos . They are so helpfully. I learn a lot of settings in Lightburn with you.
Awesome! 👍 Thanks for watching!
Fantastic video. Thank you for your time and effort for helping all of us. I look forward to your upcoming videos.
My pleasure John!
I joined but that must have been removed.. can't find it at least.
On the main page, there's a category called Members only downloads. You have to be logged in to see it.
@@TheLouisianaHobbyGuy thank you... It's because I wasn't logged in. Problem solved now.
