Thank you for the very informative video. In general what is the best font size ?
@LoBoDesignsАй бұрын
Thanks for watching! It really all depends on the font type, project size, etc. - thinner fonts often need to have a stroke added so they're not too fragile to cut so even if the font size is, say, 12... with the added stroke, it changes the overall font size. Hope that makes sense!

@LoBoDesignsАй бұрын
Try going up into Object > Expand, if the outline isn't working! You may need to do that step twice if you've edited the font stroke at all.

When you did the red cut layer it showed no z offset in Lightburn. Does the laser automatically change the z height prior to cutting the red cut layer or did you send the cut layer as a seperate job to the engrave layer? Thank you
@LoBoDesigns3 ай бұрын
Hi! The cut layer is set to the height where I autofocused. So, it will lower the bed for all the engrave steps and then bring it back into focus for the cut step!

When you say "print" are you sending it to a laser or using a UV or sublimation printer? Wondering if maybe the file type is the issue here!

Hello Heather ! thank you so much for this very informative video. After I expand vectorisation, the image has a white background and not a transparent background. Hence when I try to put two layers together (both of which I did up to the expand vectorisation stage), I can’t see both as they have white background. Is there any way to fix this? Thanks so much for your time!!
@LoBoDesigns6 ай бұрын
Hello! After the Image Trace step, use the Magic Wand tool (Y on your keyboard) and click anywhere in that white area to select the blank space. Once it's selected, hit Delete on your keyboard. You can also hit Expand in the Image Trace panel and check the option/box that says "Ignore White" and that will automatically delete the white area during the tracing step. If you're still having issues, please send me an email and I can help walk you through it! [email protected]

You're correct, ma'am! 😎 In LB, the text welds itself, but in AI, you have to Unite it as part of the design process. The copy and paste ability is one of the greatest things ever! Just make sure you have your DPI in LB set to 72 and not to 96. It's in the File Settings screen!

Hi Heather, it's very hard to engrave acrylic that deep and get clean results. I only engrave deep when making acrylic stamps, in that case I engrave with normal focus the 1st pass and defocus the 2nd pass to clean up any remaining lines. Those visual lines are normally related to the engraving lines overlapping. I don't believe is possible to engrave that deep at 400 DPI without line overlap... My 2 cents are, use minimum power that way you get the thinnest engraved line/dot and play with DPI/LPI to find the best results, also like you I defocus 2mm (Pros: Better quality. Cons: Longer engraving time because of Higher DPI) Remember Higher Power and/or Defocus will engrave thicker lines, so you will need to decrease the DPI/LPI (Pros: Faster engravings. Cons: Lower quality) Some people also uses a fine layer of dishwasher and get good results, didn't try this because I'm very happy with my results. My best engraving machine is the k40 because the 35w tube have a really thin laser beam and in low power can engrave at 500 DPI easily, my 100w at minimum power I engrave only at 250 DPI or lower. Take my tips with a grain of salt, every machine is different. Only trial and error will get you to a quality you're happy with. This is my job for +10 years ☺ Best of Luck with your channel, you got a new subscriber. Greetings from Portugal.
