I think DaVinci said that? Not sure.great video, thanks for an the info, directions, and pro tips! Can't wait to try mine 😸

I missed what you sprayed on the coasters before you put them in the laser. What was the spray? Thanks!

randomly saw this a day after i installed my new steel honycomb bed.

Excellent demonstration with usable settings and information. I'm thinking about doing a set of coasters for my city's historic locations. This is the perfect starting place. Thanks much!

Thanks for this video. I've learned quite a bit about lightburn from just a few videos you have posted. I did notice you have an Etsy link for your shop. Have you considered a website of your own? It does require a bit more of your time but you don't have as many fees as using Etsy.

I had to space the plywood I'm cutting 2mm above an aluminum honeycomb bed to get the best results. The aluminum bed with 6mm cells may not be allowing for enough airflow and the heat sink effect makes it harder to get a clean cut on 3mm basswood. I'm using a 20 watt diode laser. The MDF bed would have much greater airflow.

I recently purchased a Longer Ray 5 10w unit. I want to learn about laser engraving. This is an outstanding video, every step was explained very well. My only question is, what type of paint did you use?

Thank you so much I was using Fill which cut it down some. But this a bonus in the way the laser moves and same me more time. Thank you for sharing your time and knowledge with the community!

Got my first Laser engraver just 2 days ago and have been trying to get a coaster to show a nice image. As others have stated below people say do this and that but never really explain it or show you exactly what they mean so this video was so helpful. Also was not aware you could sand them back and try again so that makes my mistakes easier to take :)

I have found that several coats of polyurethane spray paint will really make images pop. The first coat or two might not look too good, but another coat or two makes slate images look very good. And, if the slate is actually going to be used for a coaster, it will protect from staining.

Exactly what I was looking for

Brilliant video. Ive been struggling for months trying to convert photos to slate. This is by far the best video for this. I couldn't figure out some of the settings but i have a slightly older version of Lightburn. Im off to Etsy now to buy the 3D Christmas bauble file.

Amazing video.. very instructive.. can i have the setting you use for the 10w diode laser.. thank you

You just saved me hours of time as one project is cut down from 60 minutes to 12. Can't believe I didn't search for this earlier. 😊

First and foremost, great tutorial, lots of great information in here that was exactly what I needed. I really appreciate that you did this with a lower end (ish) diode laser as this is what I have, (Otur LM2, Sculpfun S9, and Wainlux K10) So many of the tutorials out here you go to looking for setting information only to find they are using high end commercial lasers that require totally different settings that what I need. Secondly, and I picked up on this before you began the burn, I would have backed up just a little on the Image, I think cutting off the top of your head on the image triggered my OCD just a little, lol. This thought brings up a question, would there be an advantage to creating the "mask" maybe 1/8" or so larger than the media you are engraving, so that you know it goes all the way to the edge of the media you are using? (just a general question there, I am pretty sure that your engraving did infact go to or beyond just slightly the edges of the slate.)

im so happy i saw this video lol im even more happier than finding a pretty girlfriend

Any reason that you didn't show the grid being used? After all, that's a lot of cutting just to see if this invention suits our projects. Ideally you could divide the grid into sections and it would be easier to replace just the area that needs it most without wasting material. Thanks for the video & cheers. Happy 2025 to you!

What did you spray on it? I'm using xtool 10 watt f1 ultra.

but in fill mode, you can rise your speed.. i use fill in 10.000mm/m. and offset fill around 1000mm/m

Hei Johnny! Great video! And i have learn from your videos more than my 3 year time i have engraving :) So thank you 🙏

i learned a lot, very good lesson, thank you

Hi, did you use the LU2 10A laser module to this project?

Hello, I have a question. I just got a new CO2 OMTech 80 W laser machine and I am trying to engrave a picture of similar to this. Do you know the settings or the program that this particular engraver used?

Sorry what did you spray on the Coaster is that paint if so what typr please I know marking spray is crazy expensive in Canada I just gfotg my laser and want to make these Thank you I ordered 36 coasters just not sure what you sprayed them with Thank you !

New Sub!! Thanks

this is a huge importance tip to give, and i apreciate a lot, im just starting i dont have any experience yet and cant apreciate more ur advice, i can give you one in return in my humble opinion of course, there are a visual relation between letters on a name or brand in wich the form of the letters just dont fill the same spaces between each other, in this case u can see the sentence RANGE WARDEN, warden its a good balanced word but if u look at RANGE, the separation between R and A and A and N looks higher than the rest, in some cases u can adjust that visual look spacing a bit more the rest of the letters, like N from G and G from E, of course this is not for all texts, just in rare cases that u see it could work for u, Thanks a lot!

You entered the wrong kerf calue, should have been 0.10125 not 0.102, hence the first tap test fail i think ?

That machine is huuuuge ! liked and subbed :)

Fantastic Video friend! This is the only video that I have watched where someone goes in on the project blind to use your expertise to show us the process correctly. Keep up the great work man!

Thank you I am new to laser and would love to see the hexagon

how would you reverse it so the deer and tree would be cut out invert it?

How did you get your Box to be fully black when you created it?? mines always an outline

Thanks for the video bit all these video never really show one key thing. They NEVER SHOW and example of cut quality of the cuts or engraved items...

For some reason your video at the beginning was only playing audio in the left ear, then it switches. Not a problem for most people but my partner who sent this video to me to check out is completely deaf in the left ear, he shrugged and said it is what it is, but I thought I would just leave a comment so you were aware that the audio has stereo stuff happening when not needed.

Damn neat idea! 💡that makes me rethink my strategy. Thanks for sharing ❤

Thank you, Johnny. I stumbled upon one of your other videos, and in that video, you left a link to this one. I have struggled since I got my 1st laser 3 years ago to dial in settings. I think lightburns material test is almost worthless! Well, now I think all things are possible. Thank you once again. Tim J Taylor 30 November 2024

Type of paint?

allo jai acheté fichier sur etsy... tu peux me dire pour les couleurs.... couper, graver ...

What file formats does this work with. If I import a png, I don't get the option for offset fill, only fill.

Please use dust mask when sanding stone to avoid silicosis!

Could you please tell me what W your machine is please, I've an 80w, your channel is excellant and explanation concise, Tysm from an amatuer laser fella!

WOW 🤩 just wow!👌🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

Fantastic project. I have already purchased the files from Etsy as well. They are so precise and look fantastic. Thank you.

Some great advice. Thank you 🙂

Thanks this looks like a game changer for me

Are you interested in reviewing a new laser engraver?

TU. Just what i needed.

Stumbled across your video while I was researching laser cutters. I'm really impressed. Like most people who create I watch tons of "how to" videos. Rarely are they this comprehensive and beginner friendly. Thank you.

u have a new subscriber this design will work just perfect for me, thanks a lot!

Worked outcgreat on 3mm is there a way to use 3.6mm as i have so much of this size available.
