How do you determine if it will cut or engrave?

One simple tip I need is, WHAT version of Lightburn do I need. Their website is ridiculous for beginners.
@mudness2739 17 күн бұрын
thank you ! just to double check, when using 'cut selected graphics' i don't need the 'use selection origin' do I ? if I use 'absolute coordinates', in the preview it still shows me the same this, just with a different starting/reference point

It's not "The English System", it's called "The Imperial System". And in England we actually use Metric anyway, we abandoned the Imperial system over 40 years ago, it's pretty much only America still stuck on the Imperial system, the rest of the world is Metric.

Meaning no disrespect mate, but England still measures distance and speed in miles/miles per hour. So while they may have switched mostly to the more enlightened system, they are still a bit ‘stuck’.
@xTheZapper 3 күн бұрын
@@user-uy2nl5vp6m No disrespect taken, it's a good point. For some annoying reason which no-one here quite understands, we do still measure road distances and speed limits in miles. Everything else is metric, weights are all in Kg, volume in Litres and other distance measurements are in meters or mm. Scientific or engineering measurements are ALWAYS in metric.

@@xTheZapper My understanding from talking to friends and colleagues in England is that it's simply momentum. Too much established infrastructure and a lack of national will to undergo short term expense and inconvenience to make the change. Thinking about how hard it is to get the approx. 70 million citizens of the U.K. on board for that kind of change, imagine trying to get the 337 million citizens of the U.S. to agree to an even larger change. Just regarding roads, the U.K. has about 262,000 miles of roads, the U.S. has 4.2 million miles! We've tried, and failed miserably, I believe under President Nixon. All things being equal many trades people and machinists in the U.S. use metric and our scientific community uses it exclusively.
@xTheZapper 2 күн бұрын
@@user-uy2nl5vp6m Yes. We made the switch in the 70's (I think) but I assume it was a cost saving thing to leave the roads as is rather than go out and change every sign. For weights and measures it was probably easy to just tell supermarkets to change units next time they print the labels out. Now there's way more infrastructure to change so it's not getting any cheaper. And doing that in the states would be very expensive. The US still uses imperial a lot in manufacturing, just watch any Titans of CNC video and you can see they're all in inches, although I've seen them using metric occasionally, probably for an international customer. And there was the famous NASA failure due to inches/mm confusion. Maybe the US should just do the same as us, switch to metric but leave the roads. 🙂

Very informative. However I select graphics and cut w/o turning off nor do I change to user origin. Stays on Absolute coordinates. So am I missing a reason to change to user origin ? Or even turn on / off. If you have selected graphics picked then it will only cut those regardless of the other layers. Only reason to turn off a layer is if you choosed all the graphic and don't want a certain layer to cut. But I could be missing the reason. Thanks for the videol
@ThingsKatieMakes 20 күн бұрын
I always use user origin so I don’t need to place in the bed based on coordinates, just based on where I navigate to.

I still can't think in kilometers per hour, but over the last decade moving to Metric for measuring has made my life so much easier in hobbies, CAD design and 3D printing. also doing math in your head is WAY easier as only "experts" can do things like 5 3/16 minus 3 1/4. 😊 Glad to see Light Burn has a built in calculator and converter like most CAD does.

I'm so glad I went with Thunder Laser USA for my first laser. I researched myself sick when I decided to buy a co2 laser. I'm probably a little different from most people because I had a steady, profitable job (I manufacture components for PwnCNC) already lined up to make money with my laser. I was planning on buying a Omtech and had the money setting in the account but it got flagged due to the amount and I had to wait until the next morning. Overnight the Omtech i was planning to buy sold out and I tried to contact their "USA based" supposedly customer service. To make a long story a little shorter this turned out to be a fools errand. By the time they called back i already had a Thunder Laser 35 100watt on the way. I'm so glad I got mad and spent the extra money. I've had my Thunder for over two years and I've cut tons... literally and figuratively of acrylic with it. The only issue I have had was two power supplies and one new tube but all three are really consumables when running a co2 laser. My wife uses it all the time. It's just a money making beast. It pairs perfectly with a CNC router and 3D printer. With those three the things you can make are countless.
