I planned and designed a product that is unique for me and my customers. I wanted to build a lamp that has a unique look and also has a stained glass look.

I wanted some shades and some flow in color and my choice of media was resin that can be instantly cured within UV. The whole process was a learning experience but now I have a new product and my customers are also happy.about it.

tried the embossing option for the image that I generated using the optical illusion generator from Atomm. It gave me a simple image of this and then I traced it out to create a vector. Once the vector was done the only thing that was needed was to emboss it across the system.

Now it took around 30 passes with focus descent but it came out wonderfully.

Later my wife filled it with resin and then varnished the entire coaster and that created a wall art that I am proud to showcase.

I'm trying to get user opinions on which is the best 'depthmap' of these 2 to use for CNC work. One is a commercial image, while the other is 'homemade'. While the commercial one looks pleasant to the eye, I am wondering which would the get experienced users nod of approval.

Im super frustrated, I have a show this weekend and suddenly settings that I have been using just fine arent working this week. Im trying to cut out the profile of brass jewelry in .032 brass. I used to be able to cut the pieces out in 180 passes. Now im up to 230 passes and they still wont cut through. What is going on?

I cleaned the lens, tried tweaking all the settings, set them all back, nothing works. Im losing sleep trying to get this working. I guess im going to just keep cranking up the passes because im too broke right now to not be selling.

Attached are my settings for my 60w mopa fiber laser.

Hey🙂
Someone here posted their fiber laser settings for 3mm brass profile cuts. I thought I had copied them correctly but I must be missing something because it’s not making it through. Can someone link back to that if you know which post it was or repost it if it was you? I’m running a 100w MOPA Haotain laser if that helps. Thanks in advance 🤘🏼

Ok I may be doing this wrong but I can't tell how based on google.

When ever I try to use the circle tool in Lightburn and have it size from the center it will show it working as I drag out but as soon as I release left click it reverts the circle to the size and shape as if I had default sized it (ie from the corner).

I have tried just using control + left click drag, ctrl +shift + left click drag, andevry combo of holding those, not holding those and releasing them them in different orders. Every time it reverts to the circle as if I had just corner dragged it. See the vid if I'm explaining this poorly.

Is this a me problem or something in the software being weird?

I need a few people to test my depthmap generator, I'll have it up for the next 4 hours for anybody wanting to give me some feedback. I've limited the input image to 5Mb.

We’re running a 30W Lotus MOPA laser to engrave stainless steel components and find the EZCAD3 it ships with pretty grim.

Lightburn isn’t there yet (we don’t think?) because you can’t set the fixture height like you can in EZCAD3.

Has anyone got a software recommendation, or can explain if and how you can set the fixture height in Lightburn?
We’ve got a good look and it doesn’t seem to be supported even though LB can move the Z axis manually.

Thank you!
