Nice project and video! A tip for cutting through thicker material - adjust your "z-offset per pass" in Lightburn to -0.10mm and it will easily cut the plywood you used. It made my 10w Creality laser able to cut through 18mm thick wood!
I have no clue why anyone would go through the laborious effort to center this task. I have the same machine and cut rounds all day long. My bottom left is my bottom left every time. Load a piece bottom left hit play, repeat over and over again. No marking an X one the face of my work, no aligning up with with an X, no test fire to make sure the laser is in the center, no sanding off an X, no painting over an x. LR5 will cut 3mm 200/90 one pass, 5.6mm 100/100 one pass with air assist.
Can't wait to start using my laser - still have not set it up. Question - Could you do light score marks with the laser on the layers instead of marking them after? I know what I'm asking but not sure how to communicate it. Hope you know what I'm asking.
@@rogersshop Yes I know I wasn't saying it correctly. Before you cut a piece that is going to have another layer put on it, could you do a light score where the next layer is going to go on it. So your can see where to paint the bottom layer and then place glue right where you need to and then just lay the next layer on it? Think of the light score as an outline I guess, but nothing deep.
Your doing it the long way. with it being multi layer, you just color each peice. Then all you have to do is uncheck the output and show when your working on 1 layer. then you save it all as one when your done
@@rogersshop I'm still kinda a beginner myself with lightburn also. I have worked out the method that I mentioned works easier for me. I just wanted to share that. thanks

I love your videos, I am new to the laser world and you explain things perfectly, the step by step explanation makes me think I can do it!! Thanks!
Cool project! Great tutorial 💜 Love It
Roger, Thanks you all the video's you make. I've watched them all.
I love the rack you have for cutting down 4x8 sheets
Also folds down to store, so takes up very little room. May do a video on how to make one.
How cool! I was looking for something like this to customize and add lights to!
Very nice job
