Longer Ray5 10W Diode Laser Lightburn set up & Etch 3d image

[@pop-popmoose5359]

Thank You! I've been trying to get answers on doing this and had no luck. I'm definitely going to try it with my 20W Ortur machine.

Thank for the helpful and straightforward video. Exactly the information I was looking for. I just want to add, if you are using a Longer Ray5 10W machine. When setting up your origin, you'll want to turn off the auto "home" on start up feature because there are no limit switches on that machine out of the box. I can speak from experience that the machine will run into the edge of it's travel but the motor will continue to run and burn up your belt otherwise.

Thanks for the info!

That's not exactly 3D, it looks like a flat burn with a 3D optical illusion based on shading and such. However, it's a nice way to do an image burn.

Hi, thanks for your video helped out alot! I have a Atzer p10 laswer and I was wondering what wood you used for this video? and also what wood would you recommend. Reason why im asking is im currently using basswood and for my laser for the fastest engrave is basically 7000mm/min and thats with 100% power before it stops showing any engrave. When I seen how well yours came out at 9000 I was amazed perhaps this laser just isnt up to par with the RAY 5 but it could also be the wood.

sorry just see this i use mainly either MDF , Birch ply from home depot or Thrifty board from home depot all work nice, MDF is harder to cut but if you have a saw you can cut to size before engraving.

Great job explaining the 3d effect, just got my RAY5 a week ago, I'm very interested in this 3d look, could I use Lasergrbl instead of light burn and get the same effect?

[@carphotography]

i would think so, i have never tried Lasergrbl, the main thing is if you dither the image outside of the laser software you have to use an image mode like passthrough that will allow the laser to use the dots already created. hope that makes sense. thank you

[@tarndt9217]

@@carphotography Thanks for getting back to me, watched your video again and it makes perfect sense. Lasergrble has the passthroough option. I like it that you are demonstrating on a Ray5 10w, that's what I have. Not sure how to come up with DPI setting, is 400 a good number to always use?

[@carphotography]

@@tarndt9217 the higher the dpi the longer it will take but the more detail it will have, you can do it much less if you wanted but the image wouldn't be so crisp, according to the website the laser can shoot a 0.06mm dot according to lightburn that would make it 423dpi maximum, if you use lightburn it has built in tests where you can test the DPI at different numbers and same with speeds and powers, on lightburn it is up the top under laser tools (Y)

[@carphotography]

@@tarndt9217 also normally the more DPI the darker it will burn, if you search my videos for DPI you will see i made one, it was on another laser but exactly the same concept.

[@tarndt9217]

@@carphotography I will check your other videos, thanks. I am looking at purchasing a file off Etsy, they suggest a DPI of 500. Thank you again for all your help!!
