Just like a lot of people below, you are an awesome source of info, files and just knowledge!! I Subscribed to you once I got my Creality 10w laser head for one of my Ender3v2's but I was having an issue with it always firing at 100% no mater what. I ended up returning that and getting a LM3 and I highly satisfied with how easy and streamlined it has been thus far. I figured you had a video of getting the center of your cut space to then transfer it to the top of my enclosure to mount a webcam.

Great video again Rich - I learn SO MUCH from you! I just ordered the Atezr P20 Plus and would like to start getting a waste board set up. Do you know the dimensions I should cut some ply to, for that machine, and what would be the best way of mounting it so that I could easily raise it so I could cut with a honeycomb?

[@TheLouisianaHobbyGuy]

Try posting on my free forum David so you can get a detailed answer: lahobbyguy.com/bb

[@MikeNHOC]

Pretty cool information, Rich.. I will have to figure out a way to mount my engraver to the waste board.. It is an Atomstak P9 M40 So the legs are a little different.

[@TheLouisianaHobbyGuy]

Cut some slots in some scrap wood the dimensions of the legs and drop it into those. Then just screw them down and you can pull the laser in and out of the slots Mike.

[@MikeNHOC]

@@TheLouisianaHobbyGuy Makes sense! Thank you.. I will have to get it a try when the weather is a bit warmer. :-)

[@discoteq2]

I am also rather new to this and as you mentioned in the previous vid I watched....you are in no means an expert.....well young man I beg to differ, I have learned two things from you from the word go and the best is your out of focus for photo engraving. Just a little tip on your last bit in this vid that tried and it worked for me.. With my laser on my waist bed I stuck a half round pvc pipe piece arround each leg. This way weather I put on or remove the raised legs the laser will always be lined up with my grid. Hope this carries vallue to your awsum vid

[@workingdogwoodworks1455]

Love your videos...So when burning the grid on my wasteboard would you suggest cutting the stock material larger than 400x400 for mounting purposes and also what would be the best suggestion for squaring that wasteboard to the actual machine because I would imagine if that initial square is off the grids will never matter lol...thanks again and looking forward to your response!

[@TheLouisianaHobbyGuy]

Yes, absolutely, and the machine has to be fixed in lace for it to work.

[@Glenj48]

Another great video, I have the hugh neje 3 with the extension kit and my laser frame is attached to what I am using as a waste board. I'm wondering if I would be better off using a portion of my laser work area with an extra removable waste board that can be changed out if it gets burned into making the grid template harder to see.

[@TheLouisianaHobbyGuy]

Yes you can! Great idea!

[@rafaelrodriguez442]

Very nice vid. Will this work on roly too?do you plan on making future vids with with the new Roly?

[@TheLouisianaHobbyGuy]

The beauty of the Roly is it's not necessary. The Roly is completely designed around absolute coordinates, so with 5 different origins, 4 corners and the center, no framing is necessary due to the precision of the machine Rafael.

[@larryyoung5043]

Question??? I am a NEWBEE. Now the question.... what material to use for the waste board? And can I manipulate this to use on my TTS-25? Thanks for the great tutorials. You are so good at teaching.

[@TheLouisianaHobbyGuy]

Particleboard is probably the flattest material you can use. You have to permanently mount the laser to the board.

[@stevecox552]

Awesome thanks so much this is great!!! SO everytime I log out of LB and back in,,, I have to put the grid back on,,, is there a way that it can stay there after logging out and back in. This waste board is great. Thanks again.

[@TheLouisianaHobbyGuy]

No Steve, there is no default template in Lightburn. Just click File --> Recent Files.

[@rwe2156]

Absolute Coordinates. Goes without saying I guess 😄

[@ruizd14]

Hello, what would you recommend when using a honeycomb tray? I thought about laying a 1/4 MDF sheet over the honeycomb tray when i need to engrave using the waste grid? I also do a lot of cutting 1/8 Baltic and basswood plywood projects so the honeycomb tray is essential for my use but I love the thought of being able to also use that waste grid because I also engrave 4 x 4 coasters and tiles. Thanks

[@TheLouisianaHobbyGuy]

I usually use Current Position for cutting with the honeycomb bed.

[@brad_neal]

Perfect - thanks! I'm getting ready to burn a new board and was thinking about using 3/4 MDF due to the surface being much cleaner than plywood. Do you have any experience working with MDF, or suggestions? Thanks!

[@TheLouisianaHobbyGuy]

MDF is the best waste board to use Brad.

[@brad_neal]

@@TheLouisianaHobbyGuy Thank you!!

[@thelnbv]

You're awesome. How do I save the image that I worked on without saving the grid? Am I getting this wrong?

[@TheLouisianaHobbyGuy]

Import it into an Art Library or export it - File --> Export. You can also, File --> Save As and name it a different name.

[@bloomdds]

At 3:11 of the video, it shows a full page of instructions for use with the grid. But I just downloaded and opened v6 of the 400x400 grid, and the instructions for use go no farther than: **400x400mm - WASTE GRID** SETTINGS: BOTH LAYERS, 5700 SPEED, 100% POWER FOR A 10W LASER Red Layer, C02 set to Line - Black Layer, C03 set to fill Maybe post the full instructions in the forum as a text file...we can cut and paste it into the LB file's Project Notes area. Thanks for all you do!

[@leighredfern9783]

Great video can I ask . Because the waste board MDF is there is now makes the back of my jobs smoke and char . Is this correct or should I only be using waste board for engraved and not cuts ?

[@TheLouisianaHobbyGuy]

Yes, the waste board guide is for engraving. Use a honeycomb for cutting. And to keep the waste board clean, you can cover it with foil before putting the honeycomb on top.

[@abusam1]

great tutorials Rich, I am using inkscape and Laser Grbl for my LM2 pro 10A, I am trying to imitate your grid using inkscape, how much should I set the line stroke width ?

[@TheLouisianaHobbyGuy]

I don't use Inkscape, so I can't help.

[@abusam1]

@@TheLouisianaHobbyGuy sorry about that, my question should be what is the minimum width size for a line that can be engraved with LM2 pro 10A

0.1 mm is safe.

[@SkyPilot1943]

Thank you for the advice on the bad lens cover, that WAS the problem and now it is working fine. I do have another problem, I designed a cut board and it looks fine on the computer screen and in the preview mode but burns upside down, I did not mirror or reverse anything, any suggestions?

[@merrillalbury8214]

since I use the metal grid/wire frame for cutting, will have to work out a way to make sure I can put board on the frame the same each time. What folder do you save the waste grid file to? Maybe I missed it.

[@TheLouisianaHobbyGuy]

Lightburn Templates Merrill.

[@owenauer3406]

Lets see if I have this right, the waste grid is for positioning the work piece? So what does that do if I have a honeycomb board, I can't use it? I cut and burn right on the waste board (grid)?

[@TheLouisianaHobbyGuy]

The waste grid is for positioning engravings.

[@lonniedupont]

[@TheLouisianaHobbyGuy]

[@rebeltaz123]

I set Lightburn so that when it's started, it always starts with this file loaded. I also set the file itself as read-only because I have, quite often forgotten and overwritten the template by clicking Save instead of Save As. Now, I can't overwrite it :)

@@TheLouisianaHobbyGuy thanks Rich, I guess I don't understand what a waste board is other than what it says....a board you can waste. I've got a honeycomb board coming with my Azetr, although I guess I don't know why other than for cutting through pieces vice engraving them.

[@josephmathis7690]

Hey Rich I am Also new to lasering and getting ready to burn this spoil board. In the video you mentioned to home your laser. My laser a ( longer ray5 10w ) does not have a homing function what should I do in this case.

[@TheLouisianaHobbyGuy]

Move the laser by hand to the 0/0 position before you turn it on Joseph.

[@tackleboxbrad2988]

I’m at odds with whether this would still be useful for me considering I have a honeycomb waste board for evacuation of smoke. Thoughts?

[@TheLouisianaHobbyGuy]

This is for a wooden engraving waste board, working in absolute coordinates. For cutting, you use the honeycomb and User Origin.

[@BigRedDad1970]

Some people have said its not safe to have a wood base. My feeling is this waste grid is only for engraving, not cutting. I would expect having to put the honeycomb down on top of the plate that comes with it. Is that correct?

[@TheLouisianaHobbyGuy]

Yes, and many honeycomb beds now come with a metal plate for below it. Just make sure to leave an air gap.

[@bloomdds]

I just downloaded and opened the 400x400 grid and it presents in the LB workspace inverted vertically. No problem to re-invert vertically, but was that on purpose? Are we supposed to engrave it that way? (I'm a newbie and still trying to figure how to set it up, and I'm still not sure when and how we use this. It looks useful, and you say it is very useful, but when and why? My guess is that it is for engraving pre-cut stock items like coasters in the same way every time, doing separate engraving runs on that size/shape of stock over time.)

[@TheLouisianaHobbyGuy]

Your laser probably has a different origin than one this was designed in.

[@hound696]

Hi Rich, I’m having an issue, when I preview a image that I want to burn onto a tile, it’s all black. I have tried lots of photos and are all doing it but they all have previewed fine before. Can you help me fix this? They burn ok but can’t check on the preview as it’s just black.

[@TheLouisianaHobbyGuy]

That's the way images preview. Zoom in and you'll see the spot pattern.

[@impressedllc1692]

[@stevebowers1629]

After centering the waste grid you mention to go ahead and burn the grid. In another video and I can't remember which one, you made a caveat and to make sure you have selected the right material. In this video you did not so are your settings supposed to be as shown in the cut layer? I notice the blue layer says cut. If we were to run this will we engrave or cut ? Sorry but still too new at knowing what settings should be for the material being used. I did look at the material library and see that 4 mm plywood engrave said 9000 for speed and burn was 100 percent. Confused.

[@TheLouisianaHobbyGuy]

It's all explained in the notes section Steve. Your settings *will not* be the same! You have to have a Library and set the appropriate speeds and power based on *your laser*. The engraving of the numbers is slow because they're small. Numbers are fill and lines are... well line!

[@hefalump56]

Hi Grantman, You are asking for a pretty specific style spoil board. It is easy enough to create your own if using LightBurn. Just draw out a circle while holding the shift key. Enter the diameter you want in the second set of dimensions in the top left, then with that circle highlighted, hit the cross hairs at the top right to center the circle on your work area, rinse and repeat for all the other diameter circles that you will be placing on the work area. Once you have all your circles, you can follow the rest of the steps in Rich's video to create your own specific spoil board. Hope this helps

I really can't say Mick since I can't see the setup. It should work fine.

@@TheLouisianaHobbyGuy I finally got it to work my mistake as I am new to this I have a lot to learn. Just like to say your videos are very well done.

What settings should I use for a 10w laser

[@TheLouisianaHobbyGuy]

I can't tell you that, you have to do a material test.

[@karenneighbors7659]

How do you use the honeycomb mat with this?

[@TheLouisianaHobbyGuy]

You don't. This is for engraving with a spoil board.

Click the wrench and screwdriver icon.

[@francoismarsau6412]

Sorry but how do I put this in T2? What steps must I follow to put in the T2 toolpath?

[@TheLouisianaHobbyGuy]

Highlight the graphic and click on T1 or T2 on the bottom of the screen.

Where can I find a 200x200 grid. Thank you in advance.

What is the best way to set lightburn to start with this file loaded, thanks in advance.

[@TheLouisianaHobbyGuy]

I thought I explained it in the video.

[@robinparker99]

@@TheLouisianaHobbyGuy guess I'm not understanding, after you save the grid to the hard drive, do you just click on that to open lightburn and use the grid?

[@TheLouisianaHobbyGuy]

You open the file, select ALL, align it to the 0/0 position, check your speeds and power and burn it.

[@roncournoyer7794]

Is there a way to save this as the default template when you open lightburn?

[@TheLouisianaHobbyGuy]

No Ron, but if you use it for every engrave job, it'll be in the recent files memory. File --> Recent Projects

[@roncournoyer7794]

@@TheLouisianaHobbyGuy thanks. I set up a grid similar to the default, except I labeled it like a blueprint. I then screwed down a 8 x 12" L carpenter square to the table. All I need to do is put my stock up to the square and I'm good to go. better than .005 on position

[@TheLouisianaHobbyGuy]

More than one way to get 'er done Ron!

I ran the file and it stops incomplete at 390mm, I ran it 3 times with no success

[@TheLouisianaHobbyGuy]

Thousands of folks have used it. I can't fix your problem in a text, sorry.

[@conjering]

@@TheLouisianaHobbyGuy I used your 400 x 400 which worked perfectly Thanks

[@rchri2614]

I am new here, but couldn't you combine the metric and standard versions together? You have both measurements going from the top left corner moving down towards the center, why not put the other version from the top right corner going down towards the center? This way you have inches and millimeters on the same grid. One file works for both measurements or am I missing something?

[@TheLouisianaHobbyGuy]

You can do it! It takes a lot of time.
