Lightburn CRASH COURSE

My very basic crash course to help get you started in lightburn. The software is a very capable program with many features that make designing and engraving much easier. These are just a few of the things that I think you should know about.

For templates that I have made, check out my Etsy shop. I build files for projects and tools for laser engravers.

This was very informative. I will watch again while in front of lightburn to practice your techniques. Thanks

I thought I knew lightburn pretty well. I now know it better. Thanks Dave!. Good video

Nice little Lightburn primer - useful for me, for sure, as I am new to this software. Thank you.

Thank you so much for this. I appreciate that you talk in layman terms. Some of the videos I have watched use lingo that assumes the watcher has already been doing this type of thing. I am working on learning Lightburn while my machine is being shipped to me so I can create a design or two before it even gets here. This was extremely helpful for me, so I thank you for your time in making this video! Now I am going to go search for a video that will show me how to make a straight line into a curved line!

Great video! I need one on how to set up test grids…not setting the arrays but where to start with speed and power. Mine are either scorched or charred. 🙏🏻

Used Lightburn for a while but this video added things I have not used before but helps.

I was recently informed by multiple sources that lightburn will not link to a Falcon 2 directly with the USB jumper cable. You must transfer all code through the mini flash card. Is this accurate?

[joedowney]

Glad I watch your video it was a lot of help and got going real quick. Keep up the good videos

[geraldsibert]

Great video! I Learned a lot, Thanks

[mawmann]

Thanks for the info. Your videos are very helpful.

thank you for posting this video. It gives me an idea how to make up a small plaque. Much appreciated

[budgibson]

I have to start by saying; Your video is very insightful and we have watched it a few times and plan to watch again. Thank you for taking the time. However, I have to ask a few questions about the Iodes. We cannot seem to get them to respond the way you do and was wongering what we are doing wrong lol?

[robertarmstrong]

I always worried a bout doing boxes in areas..that tip alone is extremely useful

[larrycolson]

Great and helpful video Dave, Thanks again!

[nelsonward]

Just wanted to say I have learned a lot from watching your videos. Thank you for your time. I not sure if you know this or not but when I heard you talking about making triangles there’s a way to make them. You can use your polygon tool make a polygon and with it selected go to shape properties and there you can choose the number of sides and by choosing three sides will turn it into a triangle for you. Not sure if that helps but it may save you a few step when needing triangles
