I am brand new to light burn and lasering. Thank you for splitting the screen to show you and the settings/LightBurn at the same time. So helpful! Trying to learn as much as I can for when my Sculpfun s10 arrives later this week!

[@TheLouisianaHobbyGuy]

Welcome to the obsession Andrea! 🤪

[@jakebauer3244]

You videos have been so helpful. Been using laser engraving to make art, and I'm close to starting a business out of it. At least some of that is thanks to you, so just wanted to let you know I appreciate you sharing your knowledge, a whole lot!!

[@TheLouisianaHobbyGuy]

Best of luck Jake!

[@ekopecky84]

I’m so glad you made this video and that I found it 😊 I’m am very new to laser cutting (got the xTool D1 🤷🏻‍♀️) and I’ve had a certain idea in mind to make but didn’t know how to get the depth that would be needed. This video had everything I was looking for - the how to and settings. Thank you so much!!!

[@TheLouisianaHobbyGuy]

Glad it was helpful Elena!

[@cathygrant6838]

Just got an Atomstack5 A40 for my birthday , so have been on a Louisianahobby guy marathon! Your videos are amazing! I'm a crafter and have been watching you tube videos for years, and I must tell you that you really know how to use your camera and teach and share info like very few others! Thank you for taking all the time you do to make the videos, and put the forum together etc. Its like we are right there with you! I am learning so much! Thank you! I have not felt inclined very often to do the pattern or donate to coffee fund, but I am definitely going to for my new favorite instructor!

[@TheLouisianaHobbyGuy]

Thanks so much Cathy! I try!

[@ligonater]

Help. I have the newest update 1.4.00 version. I do not have the fill+line option. Where / how can I add that?

[@elizabethperry1917]

Your video helps with Lightburn on so many levels, I keep having to reference it for different things. Thank you so much for posting it.

[@TheLouisianaHobbyGuy]

Happy to help Elizabeth!

[@kelleycorcoran7204]

I have watched a few of your videos and am very excited to have found them. Your teaching skills are incredible. I so enjoy and believe that I have found my one and only lazerburn teacher. Thank you and keep your videos coming our way!!!😍

[@TheLouisianaHobbyGuy]

Glad you like them Kelley!

[@VeeSwan]

Beautiful work, love the detail! Thank you for sharing your tips and techniques!

[@TheLouisianaHobbyGuy]

Thank you so much Vee!

[@chuckforbis4446]

Well done Rich. I am very glad that you show the mistakes and don’t edit them out. I’m sure many of us make those mistakes but, at least for me, it takes a lot longer to figure out where the mistake was and how to correct it. It really helps to see how you accomplish it.

[@TheLouisianaHobbyGuy]

Thanks Chuck👍

[@TelecasterJohnny]

Following your methods have always brought great results. Laser engraving on wood is always a bit of experimentation and artistry to get the results you want to see.Thanks again for creating no nonsense practical content!

[@georgechambers3197]

Great tips Rich. I've seen the crosshatch switch but never took the time to explore it. I tried the Fill + Line a couple of times but the line part ran super fast, now I learn there's more settings. 😁 Thanks for the video!

[@TheLouisianaHobbyGuy]

The first time I used the line after fill George, my laser nearly walked off the table! 🤪 I think the default is 6000 mm/min!

[@snuffy0311]

Best how-to guides and instructions I have ever seen!! Keep up the great work I really enjoy and use your tips almost daily!

[@TheLouisianaHobbyGuy]

Great to hear, thank you!

[@johowohoj]

Thank you so much Rich, for creating this absolutely valuable space on the interwebs for us mere mortals to learn and enjoy!!! Without you, I would not know where to even start!!!

Wow! Thank you so much John!

[@SwervingLemon]

Pretty cool technique Rich looking forward to trying it out. You are a true craftsman. As always thanks for your time. Love the beer timer.

[@TheLouisianaHobbyGuy]

Thanks again John👍

[@MrGenchaos]

Rich I love the technique you demonstrated! Amazing results. Today I tried it on 3mm MDF and the crispness was amazing. I have basswood on order but after trying the mdf I think its the way I'm gonna go...

[@TheLouisianaHobbyGuy]

Sounds great James!

[@Jer0867]

As usual, such valuable and useful tips, well presented! I'll DEFINITELY be using this feature from now on...thank you so much for this video! 👍👍👍👍👍

Hi Rich. I am so glad I found your channel, your videos have been very helpful to this old worn out Vietnam Marine. I am looking forward to the time when I can have enough experience to contribute to the forum. Thanks for all you do for us, I just wish I had something to give back, well maybe someday. Keep up the great work.

[@TheLouisianaHobbyGuy]

You just gave back Steve! Thanks for the comment and your service Sir!

[@asamdleon]

I’m very new to this area. After struggling with a Chinese k 40 I decided to buy Atomstack S20. Now I need to learn the LightBurn. You make it so easy and simple. Although in my software I can’t find the line and fill button. It’s challenging at times but your videos have done a lot toward my knowledge 😅. Thank you!!!

[@TheLouisianaHobbyGuy]

They've updated the software since this video Susie. Check the pinned comment for the new version.

[@janettagallagher8281]

Thank you so much for this great information. This worked perfectly on something I needed to do. Love watching and learning from all your videos. Thanks again!

[@TheLouisianaHobbyGuy]

Glad it was helpful Janetta! Thanks for watching!

[@johnnymullins9237]

I did watch the whole video. I am learning alot from your videos. I currently own a Glowforge Plus, but am about to go all in and get a OMTech AF2028-80, so that I can do stuff like this, Thanks again. I do enjoy your laid-back style videos and appreciate you sharing your knowledge.

[@TheLouisianaHobbyGuy]

Glad to help Johnny! You might want to compare the Monport 80W with auto focus. If you use my discount code (Rich&Monport) it comes out to only $200 more and you get a much bigger work bed and much nicer machine.

[@TheLouisianaHobbyGuy]

Awesome, thank you Frank!

[@stevebryson5464]

Thanks Rich. This technique of fill/crosshatch/line is genuinely revolutionary. I love that look.

[@TheLouisianaHobbyGuy]

Glad you like it Steve! I like it on many different projects.

[@stevebryson5464]

BTW, I experimented with using offset fill instead of crosshatch/line. I’m sticking with the latter.

[@robmills4709]

Great video Rich, fantastic results, brilliant tips

[@TheLouisianaHobbyGuy]

Thanks Rob👍

[@rbrennan9148]

Thank you for the insightful demonstration, I will be trying this method out on a project today.

[@TheLouisianaHobbyGuy]

Have fun!

Yes! I finally got this technique to work for me. It’s the little things that make me happy

[@TheLouisianaHobbyGuy]

Wonderful John!

[@ruthwoods5239]

Thank you for all your instructional videos. You are SUPERB! I am actually learning before my machine arrives. I am jump-starting the learning curve so I can create faster. Have a great Louisiana day.

[@TheLouisianaHobbyGuy]

You are so welcome Ruth! Welcome to the obsession! 🤪

[@kwkstar]

Love this video Rich. Thanks for the info. It all depends on the wood. I ordered some 3mm from Amazon before I even received my laser (D1) and it takes one pass at 100 100. With the air assistance it cuts great. I also have 5mm 5 passes to cut through and .250in 7 passrs to cut through same power and speed. I'm excited to try your method!

[@TheLouisianaHobbyGuy]

This is the wood x-Tool sent me with the laser. I ran a test on the P50 & the Neje and they both cut it at 120 speed & 100 power. I don't know why this D1 is not cutting it. I'm going to do a ramp test today. I have a feeling the diode was set wrong at the factory.

[@playamytrumpet]

Very interesting video, I am new to lasers and in fact somewhat new to computers. I really appreciate the step by step process to achieve the fantastic results. Thank you very much, I will be watching (to the end) more of your videos. Thanks again.

[@TheLouisianaHobbyGuy]

Glad you liked it Ken!

[@JamesFraley]

The tip about dragging from the left vs the right made watching the entire video worthwhile!

[@billmulcahy3594]

Rich, instead of using your sander and want something a little more stable for small letters or for your coins (which is an awesome idea) I took a piece of scrap wood and placed sanding disks with the sticky back that I use for my belt sander and placed them on the wood. I found this to be the easiest way to get those smaller letters and small keychain police badges sanded to perfection. I can send you a picture of them that I made as a his and hers set, so my wife and I can tackle 50 individual pieces. I think you will like it. Great video and we all make mistakes no matter how proficient we think we may be.

[@TheLouisianaHobbyGuy]

That's a good idea Bill, but I like the fact that the sander moves freely, unlike using a brick. Makes me feel safer.

[@Daemonforce-Gaming]

This is a great tool. It will help me with doing inlays. I’ve done one before but did regular engrave with multiple times in hardwood

[@TheLouisianaHobbyGuy]

I occasionally do some inlays myself Steve.

[@steveferguson1232]

I’m a long time woodworker and would do monograms on scroll saw and do veneer inlays by hand. I’ve done one on my xTool D1 so far

[@TheLouisianaHobbyGuy]

Make sure you watch the entire video! I'm so used to just using my templates, I forgot a few steps that I correct later on, and of course, I added the secret ingredient toward the end 🤪 for my dedicated viewers! *NOTE Lightburn has been updated to V 1.2 since this video! Here's a link to a related follow up video:* kzbin.info/www/bejne/b4nGlGd4jNZ-ibs

I currently have w Glowforge basic and I’m so over not being able to line up my design even after making a jig for my spoons and spatulas. I’m learning Lightburn before my LM3 gets here! Thanks for sharing your knowledge with us!!! I’m going to try this technique to make business tokens to pass out at my local artisan market!!!

[@TheLouisianaHobbyGuy]

These work great for business cards Deena!

[@jenniferbarta5986]

This was a great video and definitely took it to another level for me. I did do some experimenting and found you can do your black layer with crosshatch on and go to the edit tab, and click invert and it does the same thing but in less time. I did several pieces trying it and could not see a difference. It is just a bit easier for beginners and less steps to remember. I also did the fill and line on that same layer. Thanks for the great video!

[@TheLouisianaHobbyGuy]

Thanks for the tip Jennifer! I have the best subscribers!

[@cristinawilson6242]

I failed epically on this attempt! Maybe another video with less instructions for the newbies? 😁

[@TheLouisianaHobbyGuy]

@@cristinawilson6242 I'm not sure how less instructions would help! It's all in the material and the settings.

Rich Thank you so much for this one. I used it today and my results were outstanding. I did it on wood but my next step is to engrave my wine bottle glasses. I think the same process will give me a better engraving. I will have to play with the setting but looking forward to giving it a try tomorrow. Please leave your errors in as we will all learn form them as well.

[@Chucka1463]

Thanks for this video. I'm going to use this from now on. I, like you, have the 10w xTool D1. I also found that it took too many passes. What's odd is that many others could cut in 1 pass when it took 3 for me. I think there must be some quality issues. It kinda felt like I got a 5w instead of a 10w. Here's the thing: I got the 20 watt 2 weeks ago and all bets are off. I can cut 3mm plywood in one pass at 750 mm/m. It's simply amazing and a game changer.

[@TheLouisianaHobbyGuy]

That's awesome! I can't wait to see how it stacks up against the Atomstack and the Neje!

I made a beautiful one with the streets from my village, name on the top, province on the bottom. Love it!

[@TheLouisianaHobbyGuy]

That is awesome!

I love using cross-hatch on leather. It looks good

[@TheLouisianaHobbyGuy]

If you want a really cool look with crosshatch, try lowering the lpi to something like 100.

[@HGANGHONY]

Thank you , ive been getting the warning that my line speed is faster than my fill and didnt know why it matters.

[@TheLouisianaHobbyGuy]

Glad it helped Gary!

[@aprilh1596]

Hi Rich! Thank you again for sharing your wealth of wisdom. I am so excited to try out all these tricks! Would you happen to know why I don't have the cross-hatch option, or the ability to change the scan angle?

[@TheLouisianaHobbyGuy]

Yes April, Lightburn updated the program so the process is slightly different now. Here's the new version: kzbin.info/www/bejne/b4nGlGd4jNZ-ibs
