This one Video has changed my life... I've been fighting my XTool D1 for months.... Thank you so much for showing me how to get this thing to play nice. I can now put my laser head Exactly where I want it and repeat all my projects! Cheers

I think I've watched every YouTube video on this subject. For me, your explanation is by far the best. Now it all makes sense. Thank you very much.

Here I am again a year later, saying "thank you" again. You are the bestg.

What a great video. Simply explained, easy to understand and at the right pace for a new user to laser engraving. Thank you very much greatly appreciated.

[deonholt]

Thank you, thank you, thank you.
I Did my first ever test cut an hour ago with LB. Wish I had a look at your video before that ... but now I understand the different options. Thanks again.

The second I saw the headline of this video, I hulk smashed the like button, subscribed and rang the bell. I’m running an xTool D1 Pro 20 watt. I guess regardless of whatever engraver you’re running, all react the same way with Lightburn. I will be saving this video for future reference.

Amazing!! We nearly had a laser machine out the window, becuase of the frustration this caused, especially wiht the homing! THis saved a lot of frustration, and of course, the need to buy a new machine. Great content! 💪💪

Thanks a million for this video. I am extremely new with this laser stuff but I am very interested in learning as much as I can. This will help me tremendously for when I go to line up my first job once I get that far. Now if I could only find a video on doing a job from start to It's hard when you really new and don't even know what kind of question to ask let alone searching for it...
Thanks again.

this really helped! my endstop cables came loose and i tought i would need to fix it, thankfully u made me realise i can manualy put in in position, thanks!

New to Lightburn and seeing my laser unit travel up across my board when I set all to zero confused the hell out of Until I watched this, I didn't know Lightburn read the laser head position as zero when booting up - This was so helpful... Thank you..

[Powerstrokemods]

Great video, you make it very easy to understand, you speak clearly and explain the steps very well, thank you!

[Bcjr]

Thank you for this video, now I understand why the positioning were always negative after Homing... didn't realize I needed to restart the software.

[chardrivera]

Thank you for your instructional video sir. You just got a new subscriber

[jacintodedios]

Thank you my friend. Your video saved my life.

Really helpful video! Repeatability is what I was trying to figure out and absolute position provides that. Thanks!

[josephteves]

This was a huge help! Could you please do a video explaining how to set up multiple projects on the grid so they are processed one after the other. So if I were to place out 5 tiles with the same image on each tile once they were where i needed them to be I could start the burn and it would go until all five tiles were complete. That would be awesome .
