@@marylumembrila6415 🙂 Thank you Marylu. Much appreceated. I hope you found the video helpful. Thanks for watching 😁 👍

[@Ekirea]

This was the absolutely best video showing how to operate the Sculpfun. I looked at several others and didn't get anything working.Then I watched yours and everything worked.Extremely grateful to you showing this.Thank you so much!!!!

[@frankslittleworkshop]

😃 Thank you so much for the kind words. I'm glad it was of some help 😁. Thanks for watching 😁 👍

[@mr.e.audits]

I have just bought my first laser (S9). I was worried about setting everything up, you've explained everything perfectly 👌. Thank you so much..

[@frankslittleworkshop]

@@mr.e.audits 😁 Thanks. I'm glad it was of some help. Thanks for watching 😁 👍

[@leann5547]

I have been watching hours upon hours of KZbin videos on this. I was losing hope as I'm new to lasers. Frank and this video has given me hope. You explained more than any of the other videos I have seen in the past week. I even looked into classes in person and online for help. Thank you for doing such a wonderful job explaining this program. I hope you have more for me to learn. Bless you!

[@frankslittleworkshop]

😃 Thank you so much Leann for your kind words (it means a lot 😊). Glad to be of some help. If you have any particular questions, please feel free to ask. I'm also on insta if that easier. My laser is broken at the moment, but if I can help ill be happy too. Thanks for watching 😁👍

[@mardakworkshop4450]

thanks man big help 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@frankslittleworkshop]

😁 Your welcome 😁. Thanks for watching 😁 👍

[@RTSFoto]

Thanks Frank, this is the first tutorial running through how to set up a laser and input text into Lightburn. Cheers mate, I have never owned a laser but I am thinking of buying the SCULPFUN S10 Laser Engraving Machine. Thanks again sir.

[@frankslittleworkshop]

😁 Thanks very much Russell. If you have the chance to get one I would recommend you do 😁. Its a great addition to a workshop or just a great hobby in general 😁. I love mine. Thanks for watching Russell 😁👍

[@debbiephillips6446]

Hi Frank loved your video I have a s10 but couldn't find a video to watch so I watched yours you explain things very well and I hope to get mine up and running soon thank you Debbie

[@frankslittleworkshop]

😁 Thanks so much Debbie. As soon as its up and running you will love it 😁. And will soon be lasering everything you can get your hands on 😆😆. Thanks again for watching 😁👍

[@joediberardino4419]

Awesome video learn another thanks

[@frankslittleworkshop]

😁 Thanks Joe. Glad you liked it. Thanks for watching 😁 👍

[@kandyone123]

Excellent video Frank, just bought an s9 but still waiting for delivery (3 weeks NOW). Can't wait to get started, your video was very helpful and easy to understand. Many thanks.

[@frankslittleworkshop]

😁 You won't be dissapointed. I would highly reccomend using Lightburn from the very start just to make your life as easy as possible 😁. Thanks for watching 😁👍

[@007JHS]

Great introductory clip. Will watch out for other tutorials.

[@frankslittleworkshop]

😁 Thanks 007 😁. Hopefully I will do some more soon. Thanks for watching 😁👍

[@maureenmurray8022]

I’ve just bought one so hope you can help me get mine going. OMG you are so precise 😊

[@roystheboy]

Hello frank im new to lasering and have got the S30 pro 10w for my birthday from my wife ive never used one before i have watched many videos and your's has been the easiest to understand as you went through nice and slow i hope you do some more videos on the laser many thanks, oh i also do woodturning

[@frankslittleworkshop]

😁 Thanks Roy 😁. I am planning to do some more laser videos soon (im actually using it at this very moment 😁). I'm missing doing my wood turning. I should do a combined laser and wood turning video 🤔. Dont know how that would work, but I'm sure I could think of something 😁. Thanks for watching Roy 😁👍

[@ezexcel2732]

thank you

[@frankslittleworkshop]

😁 Your welcome EZ, I hope the video was helpful. Thanks for watching 😁 👍

[@stevehedges1158]

Thanks Frank I just put together my ortur laser today very similar to yours. I haven't switched it on yet or down loaded the software yet. The software worries me the most and I think you have saved me probably an hour trying to find things to start with. . Your video came out just at the right time .I hope to see more of them if you are able I know the filming and editing take a fair bit of time so a big thank you. Steve Australia

[@frankslittleworkshop]

😃 Thanks Steve. I was originally going to get the Ortur but ended going for the Sculpfun S9 because of the actual laser. I had some issues initially installing the software but thats because my laptop is a bit out of date. But the actual software install was easy. I did install the free trial software but it expired before I got a chance to use it. My suggestion would be to just go for it. Once you get burning the software will all make sense. Good luck Steve and thanks for watching 😁👍

[@FixitFingers]

That's going to be a very handy tool Frank!

[@frankslittleworkshop]

😁 I think so James. As soon as I have finished with some of my garden projects I'll try and get back in the workshop and start using it properly. It should be very handy 😁👍.

[@007JHS]

I literally took delivery of my Sculpfun this afternoon... some tidying up and junk removal in my workshop get my bench ready and I can start assembly.

[@frankslittleworkshop]

😃 Excellent. I would highly reccomend "lightburn" software. It just seems to work properly 😁👍

[@diandazzle6954]

I have a s30 pro 20w , light burn I don’t know how to get the different color square in the software

[@sigh_of_the_times]

Ok I have a question for you. If you haven't ever used the Lazer how did you learn so much about the burn software. You seems to know the software rather well so my question is can you or have you been able to play with the software with out the Lazer. I'm hoping this is what you did because that is what I would like to do. It just seems other video's I have watched always has the Lazer right there. And by the way you have a great video and have it in my watch later file so I can keep going back to it. Thank you very much for the great video.

[@frankslittleworkshop]

😁Hi @sigh_of_the_times. The Lightburn software can be used (to practice or create designs) without a laser attached. But it is a paid software so some investment is needed to get the software. I basically spent a ridiculous amount of time on KZbin seeing how it worked before I invested in buying it. I had the advantage that I have used CNC software before so a lot of the terms and functions are common between CNC and laser engraving. But again I learned most of my CNC ability from watching videos. The best way to learn is to have a specific task in mind (e.g. how do I convert a picture in to a vector so the laser can read it properly). Then investigate that task on KZbin. And I can garentee you will learn other tips on the way. I hope this helps in some way. But if you have a specific question I would be happy to help if I can. You can DM me on Instagram if that is better for you. Thanks for watching 😁 👍

[@seebosmile]

It is possible to install router motor on Z to replace laser head ?

[@frankslittleworkshop]

Hi 😁. I guess it is possible but I wouldn't advise it. The frame is not designed for the additional weight and load that it will be subjected to. In addition there is no Z axis mechanism to move the router up and down. In short, its not a good idea to fit a router. You will need a dedicated CNC machine for that. Thanks for watching 😁 👍

[@BuiltByChris]

Thanks for this video, Frank. I have the same laser burner (Sculpfun S9) and I have loaded Lightburn onto my laptop. The way you explained everything has made it easy for me to get my head around it. Cheers mate!! 👍🇦🇺🇬🇧🍺🍺

[@frankslittleworkshop]

😁 Thanks Chris. I strongly suspect that as soon as you start using it it will become really easy to find your way around all the controls. Looks like I'm going to enjoy using it. Thanks for watching 😁👍🇬🇧

[@Lorddarthvader1701]

Great video, New sub, I have the YoraHome 6550 and no one says anything about moving the laser to the originating corner. That would be important I would think. New to lasers myself and this video was very helpful. I have been binge watching some of your other videos. Great content. nice to see time spent on detail.

[@frankslittleworkshop]

😁 Thanks so much for your sub "Darth" 😁. I haven't used my laser much yet to become proficient at it. I need to use it on the little project I'm currently working on, so hopefully I will learn some more (every day is a school day 😁). Thanks again for your support 😁👍

[@handyjim]

great video young man looks great

[@frankslittleworkshop]

😁 Thanks Jim. Its taken me long enough to get around to using it for the first time 😁. Thanks for watching mate 😁👍

[@jbuitendam9236]

Funny 👍👍💖👍👍

😁 Thanks J. Glad you liked it 😁. Thanks for watching 😁👍

[@benjaqsonworkshop9974]

Interesting to see what the user has to do to get it printing. Nice bit of kit too. Will be interesting to see what you produce with it in future.

[@frankslittleworkshop]

😁 Thanks Ben. I wanted to video it from first power up just to show some of the real issues that could come up. I've made my name tags now which also included some cutting... it worked a treat 😁. Thanks for watching Ben 😁👍

[@bobpaulin3920]

I have a Sculpfun S9 and like it. But how old is your computer I think I see Windows 7?

[@frankslittleworkshop]

😁 Hi Bob. Yep, the laptop is getting a bit long in the tooth. Windows 7 and its only a 32 bit machine, but it runs lightburn very well 😁. Thanks for watching Bob 😁👍

[@hythewoodworkdesigns]

Well done Frank. Instead of moving the board, you could have just copied & pasted the text to a different position & then deleted the original text. Speed always takes precedence over power. But with enough practice & tweaking, you're gonna do well. Keep it up. G

[@frankslittleworkshop]

😁 Thanks Gary. Looks like it won't take much to get used to the text editing. Thanks for the tip (speed over power). I'm reluctant to wack the power up in the hopes it will increase the life of the laser head. Hope to do more laser vids soon. Thanks again Gary 😁👍

[@nandostella9734]

Easy to see on youtube...my laser go hitting everywhere 😢

[@dennisbarney869]

Is lightburn a yearly fee or one time.

[@frankslittleworkshop]

😃 Hi Dennis. Its a one time payment.. and is worth every penny 😁. Thanks for watching Dennis 😁👍

[@dennisbarney869]

@@frankslittleworkshop Thanks for the fast response, Used your vid to set up my s9 now using your vid on how to use it.
