That’s what I’m talking about! Noah, you probably won’t realize this until you’re older, but you are so lucky to be exposed to this amazing stuff so early in age and to have an amazing dad who’s sharing his passion with you and getting to grow together doing something you both like. I can’t wait to see more guys! Keep it up ! -John Taylor

[@FiberLaserTraining]

WOW! I think Dad is the lucky one!!! Noah will go far in life if he keeps up his willingness to learn!!

[@tymachn]

I like that you simplify and explain the process, not in a hurry and showing different angles. Thank you

[@FiberLaserTraining]

It is supposed to be educational! I don’t ever remember a professor screaming through material. You need to be shown not told.

[@Bigbeebeellc]

Great video…..I’m going to send pictures to you on how I align my coins….it may get the thinking going for those that don’t have a fixture or jig, on how to make one of their own.

Great video Jeff, question how would I translate these settings to Light burn? I notice some of the settings such as the angle of 5670 is unattainable in light burn? I could be wrong but this is all new to me. I was able to create a very good coin early on but now I use Lightburn.

[@FiberLaserTraining]

The start angle is really not important. It’s the successive passes the angle rotation is critical.

Great video - thank you!! Question: when I run identical settings, I do not see that the direction of burn actually rotates - it seems to be identical no matter how many runs I specify in TOTAL. Is that correct?

[@FiberLaserTraining]

Make sure you have rotate angle selected in the hatch settings.

[@dannirr]

@@FiberLaserTraining Thank you - yes, I have it selected in hatch - in all 3 hatches - exactly as in your video. But it does not actually rotate. Number of loops in b both hatch and pen settings are set at 1.

Just got on board with these videos, I think it's awesome you have your children involved. These are great times you can reflect on as time goes by. Great job with them and the content, keep it up. I'm going to go out on a limb and say because this coin has inner meaning, you are keeping the design to your self. But if not, would you care to share? I went to use the free download of the skull coin but I don't use Ezcad and have no clue what to do to make work in LB. Any help with that would be greatly appreciated or even a good topic for another vide (hint hint)?

[@FiberLaserTraining]

Hey Randy!!!

[@razz0r1980]

Cross hatch is a non issue - its the auto rotation thats needed with the cross hatch. cross hatch however should be used as you chop up the surface as such, thus making it more effective. Lines left are more due to incorrect hatch pattern and lack of auto rotation. Still good video!! :)

[@FiberLaserTraining]

Yeah man we don’t use CH for numerous reasons. You’ll learn as to why soon enough!!! My hunch is you will no longer use crosshatch either after my explanation …

Incredible video! I'm working with fine silver...can the same be done with fine silver coins?

[@FiberLaserTraining]

Most likely you would need more heat as silver is super fast at heat dissipation.

[@avexoidavex3577]

I know how to create 3d models, but I don't know how to draw in raster or vector programs. Can a laser machine accept a .stl file with the correct dimensions (e.g. 0.25 mm engraving depth)? Or do I need a vector or raster file?

[@FiberLaserTraining]

Good question! Ezcad will accept stl in 2 and 3 Lightburn does a grey scale height mapping but yes. Should work with both.

[@avexoidavex3577]

@@FiberLaserTraining Thanks for the reply! It helped me a lot.

[@Critters]

How long did the coin take? What's the depth of the "cut"? and could you add slopes and topology instead of a binary "these parts are removed and these parts are untouched" ?

[@FiberLaserTraining]

The coin took about one hour for each side. Lightburn has the ability to manipulate grayscale images that you could get your desire result with.

You should just use a piece of chipboard and double side tape it to your fixture plate. The cut the profile out, then place your coin in the cutout and you’re located. You don’t have to adjust or move anything.

That wireless keyboard your using there, it looks like it's a Logitech K400r, is that true? If so, it's a security risk, as are any wireless keyboards that do not specify use Bluetooth! If your wireless keyboard/mouse uses a generic 2.4ghz wireless signal instead of Bluetooth, it's very easy for a nearby attacker to gain full control of whatever computer that keyboard is connected to. Look up "mousejack" is your unfamiliar. It's probably not a huge deal if your just working out of your garage, but if your gonna setup a business in an actual office space somewhere with multiple computers and workstations, don't use wireless keyboards and mice unless they are Bluetooth. Bluetooth is by no means unhackable, but it's many orders of magnitude more difficult, and will stop the low script kiddies and low skill hackers.

[@FiberLaserTraining]

That is definitely handy information! I am not super concerned for myself, but definitely awareness needs to be raised over this issue. I am not concerned because all of my machines are standalone machines without a net work, and therefore there is no sensitive or personal information on them.
