👌 Exciting New Features In Lightburn Software Version 1.1!

[@georgechambers3197]

I've been pplaying with 1.1 for a couple of days now and I'm totally impressed with the update. It's amazing what they do with the small amount of employees they have. Thanks for the video!

[@TheLouisianaHobbyGuy]

Couldn't agree more George! No other software company even compares!

[@TheLouisianaHobbyGuy]

Version 1.1.01 has just launched! If you have V 1.1.03, click Help, Check for updates! Kudos to the Lightburn staff!

[@twdigiman8108]

Yes version 1.01.00 was not reading the controller properly, I lost a lot of money jumping on the update so fast. 20 minute jobs where taking up to four hours, basically it was not reading in changes to speed and power nor was preview working properly especially with any type of dither. I notified Lightburn and reverted back to 1.6. I will update to the new possibly this weekend. Still a great and user friendly software.

[@TheLouisianaHobbyGuy]

@@twdigiman8108 I didn't have any issues with either version. I guess it depends on the control boards.

[@twdigiman8108]

Possibly, that’s why they did patch. This was on a diode. Regardless what I set the speed to it only ran at 333mm. I wasn’t able to figure out at what power level it was running, it did burn up material so it was fairly high. Lightburn jumped on the issue quickly.

[@twdigiman8108]

Another note, when I did manual moves (under move tab) the laser would fire automatically. Again at a high power setting. No, I was not framing, which is I believe a new feature, instead of shift+frame to have the laser fire during framing.

[@schlotdoglaser]

@@twdigiman8108 When I updated to 1.1.01 I was getting the error of not transfering. I went back to 1.1.00 and everything is fine.

You are the absolute best!!! I am a complete newbie to this laser world and since I found you about a week ago, I have learned more about Lightburn than I had in the prior month! I have the Atomstack S10 Pro. I downloaded this new version this morning when I opened Lightburn but had no clue what it did, so THANKS A BUNCH!!!

See your point. On the other hand it can be helpfull. Did not mean to mess this up for you, but if the viewers could hjelp you out with TIMESTAMPS, I could contribute. I will recomend all to view your videos, but to fast and easy go to spesific parts it would be helpfull. You have some of the best vidoes and I both enjoy and find them very helpfull.

[@TheLouisianaHobbyGuy]

Glad you like it Ian!

[@michaelweston8569]

At 16:20 you mention test fire power is a minimum of 1% regardless of setting. In my setup at least, that's not the case (Lightburn 1.1.04 and Ortur LU2-4 SF laser). I can set as low as 0.1% and still see the laser. A value of 1% is noticeably brighter and burns paper/card almost immediately.

[@TheLouisianaHobbyGuy]

In V 1.1 the minimum power was 1% Michael. I haven't looked at the code on the newest version because I just set mine to .5% and that works fine for me. Older versions defaulted to 1%, newer may not.

[@melindagibson8606]

I'm excited for this. I'm about to pull the trigger and buy my first laser! I just cannot decide which way to go. The more research I do, the harder it is! I had a Co2 Chinese laser and I sold it a few yrs ago because I was intimidated by it. Now I'm really understanding it more. Now I am considering a diode also, the SculpfunS9! I just need a large extended workspace, rotary and ease of use overall. I love the desktop versions but they are so expensive! Why is this so hard lol. I'm glad Lightburn has updated so I get to use a new version! Your videos are so good and helpful! Thanks!!

Nice video Rich showing the new features. Although I don't totally agree with you about the fault never being with the software. Lightburn is great and I never had any problems with it. But..no piece of software is perfect, even if you beta test it a long time. I found that out the hard way being a software developer for more then 40 years now 😀

[@TheLouisianaHobbyGuy]

True Peter, that's why they're constantly updating it. But 100% of the complaints I've seen on various websites were all user error. The bug fixes in the regular updates are rarely (if ever) seen by the users. Everyone is always ready to blame the software for their mistakes.

[@pjbpennings]

The Green box doesn’t line up to the work piece anymore when you use the functions, it stays down in the bottom left corner of the work area on the grid.

Same with current position. My older versions of light burn worked fine, like in the video you referred me to.

Not cut lines or organic graphics. Just photos. I have the new OLM 3 and just wondering after going through all the mechanics of the OLM 3 if there is something I am missing in a setting in LightBurn. Perhaps I should wipe LightBurn and reinstall it? Any help would be great!

[@TheLouisianaHobbyGuy]

It's not the software. If you think it's the settings, you can click on Devices on the laser tab and remove the LM3 and then add it again to get the default settings. More likely it has something to do with the image file your using or the settings you're using for the file.

[@juddwhiting4229]

@@TheLouisianaHobbyGuy OK thanks. What possibly could be settings I am using for the file? or with the image file? Strange that during trial version all my same image files ran fine.

@@TheLouisianaHobbyGuy Great! Thanks Rich!

[@OffGridOverLander]

Have you figured out a way for how to adjust a lightburn art image to compensate for the taper of a glass? I don’t have any of the image correction software, plus I’ve already created many military crests and I’d have to export, correct, import, clean up all the pixel errors, and then see if I need to do the process again. In my opinion this is an absolute MUST-have for the software, but hasn’t been implemented and doesn’t sound like it in the future. Overall I’ve been really happy with the software and it is hands down the most complete that I’ve seen so far, for what I need and the laser I have, I’m just disappointed that doing pint glasses and shot glasses looks like dogs**t.

[@TheLouisianaHobbyGuy]

That's what a rotary is for! I can't imagine why you would want to spend all that time with the image when you can just use it as-is with a rotary.

[@OffGridOverLander]

@@TheLouisianaHobbyGuy I think you misunderstood what I was asking. I do have the rotary for my D1, however if you try to "etch" a tapered glass such as a pint glass or shot glass, the bottom of the "etch" is skinner than the top. Correcting that "perspective skew" is what I was asking if you had figured a workaround way to deal with. For military crests, such as the 101st or the 82nd, it messes them up horribly and look like poop.

[@TheLouisianaHobbyGuy]

Ah, I see. When I have a taper, I usually make a jig to get it level. It's hard to get a nice engraving on a taper.

[@OffGridOverLander]

@@TheLouisianaHobbyGuy Darn, I was hoping that the GURU had it figured out lol, leveling the taper keeps it in focus for the entire length usually (as long as the glass isn't curved also) but unfortunately does nothing to deal with the taper that makes the bottom skinnier than it should be. Oh well, thanks for the chat, guess we'll have to wait until they deal with feature requests from 3 years ago (first one I saw requesting "perspective adjustment" was from Mar'19)

[@TheLouisianaHobbyGuy]

@@OffGridOverLander Yeah, I've never had that problem, so no solution on my end. But then I only choose items that work well on the rotary. I very rarely do tapered items except wedding glasses, and I've never had the issue. Sorry I can't help.

[@CrisAnderson27]

Also (and sorry, I'm replying as I'm watching). I installed my L-Cheapo Mk7 onto my Neje gantry. I set the minimum power to 1%...and it still made burn marks. Dropped it to .5%, and still slight burns. It finally stopped once I set it to .25%.

[@TheLouisianaHobbyGuy]

Also strange! Since Lightburn is supposed to ignore anything under 1%, and while you can still set it that way, it should power the laser at 1%. I'm starting to think you're from some alternate reality! 🤪

[@CrisAnderson27]

@@TheLouisianaHobbyGuy Who knows lol? I'm just calling out my experience lol. The Mk-7 is a really powerful diode (they bill it as a real 12w output, I trust them). I'm still working out the kinks but my 40/10w Neje doesn't burn at the 1% power setting so I never changed it. Once I connected the Mk-7...it burned at idle. Didn't stop till .25%.
