Designing a CNC file in Lightburn

An easy way to use lightburn in combination with Easel to create a CNC file. I use this to reproduce designs that I already have.
For templates that I have made, check out my Etsy shop. I build files for projects and tools for laser engravers.

Fun stuff. Get some 6mm x 3mm rare earth magnets that will work well in 3mm or 1/8" material or you can stack two for 1/4" material. They will also be much smaller in diameter to take up less space on the inside of the box.

Nice video. I have both the X40 Pro Max (still in box) and the same CNC. The CNC has been setup in the shop for months and I’ve never used it. I’m pretty good with Lightburn and laser cutting/engraving. This video has sparked my interest into actually using the CNC.

It adds another level of making to the laser. Enjoy

I love how those came out. Those magnets are very soft, if you use a drill go slow, I would hate for the projects to get ruined.

@TheClackShack 6 ай бұрын

I am pretty sure I can get them out, I have better ones ordered.

I agree with you. Easel is very good for beginners. When I bought my CNC 2 years ago, I really wanted to use V-Carve but it was overwhelming as I had to learn both the CNC and the software. A year later I switched to V-Carve after I feel confident with my CNC machine. Santa just got me a laser engraver and I need to start learning from the start again. That's how I found you channel. Thanks & Happy new year!

The transition shouldn't be too bad. Lasers are easier in my book. Enjoy..

I own Aspire the big brother of Vcarve and have had it for several years. It took awhile to understand it but there great support for learning it. I use it all the time for processing 2d files for my three xtool lasers.

You can make a design in inkscape and then create a gbrl file under extensions grblfile.

Note, best to use smaller rare earth magnets unless you want it to REALLY hold tight.

I do designs in LB and save as SVG to go to Fusion for 3D print. Easier that way.

You can change it in lightburn. Or just divide or multiply by 60

Dave, great video. I do have a question on a different topic. I just got a new laptop. And I purchase alot of svg files from Etsy. I download and copy and paste into lightburn. Unfortunately this new windows 11 has no copy and paste option. Any suggestions? Thanks

@TheClackShack 6 ай бұрын

It has the capability it just uses icons. Look up at the top when right clicking and you will see what looks like scissors snd two sheets of paper. That is cut and copy. If you don't wanna use the icons, CTL+C is copy and CTL+V is paste. You can also change the layout and make it look more classic.

@srflow2 6 ай бұрын

That icon is not on my screen, and control C doesn’t do anything. Not sure what’s going on.

High Clack, this subscriber needs some assistance, I have acquired an Atezer P20 and purchased light burn and installed same on the computer, the Lightburn display only has the "move" panel on the display and I cannot determine how to get the laser panel to appear in order to select devices. I appreciate any guidance you may provide. thanks

@TheClackShack 6 ай бұрын

There is a "restore default view" function that may help. The display differs based on your resolution
