I've been using Lightburn since it first came out for CO2 lasers, and it has evolved tremendously over the past few years. I put up the original request for Lightburn to run galvo lasers back in 2019...
I see your issues with EZCad, but Lightburn will be available for fiber lasers in a few months, the beta version is already out to a few ( I'm lucky enough to be one of the testers) and it's so much...
I recently replaced the the power supply on one of my lasers, I thought I was buying the same unit, turned out the connections were in a different position, so I needed to re route the wiring and one...
It's a complete replacement for EZCAD, The only thing you might need EZCad for is when you first set up a fiber on Lightburn as it loads the config file info from EZCad into Lightburn so you don't...
No doubt many of you will have heard that Lightburn will be adding fiber / Galvo support to its software during 2022. I've been lucky enough to be beta testing it over the last week or so.
There's...
I run all my machines using Lightburn, it's improved so much over the few years it's been out I also use it for the majority of any designing I do, before that I used to use Inkscape.
Have a look at the Chinese Aeon Mira 5, it's a small bed machine, the build quality is up another level on most machines from China. You can get them with either a glass or metal tube.
I have two...
I have an Aeon Mira 5 running a 30w RF Metal tube and a Ruida Controller, so it might be possible to do what you are planning.
Those of you who use lasers such as Trotec, which use printer drivers might be interested in knowing that the latest version of Lightburn (0.9.21) has a print function, that will work with these...
I have two Aeon Lasers, bought them both direct from the factory. One is a Mira 5 with a 30w RF tube. The other is a Nova 10 with a 100w glass tube. Both ran straight out of the crate without having...
This looks worth trying, is it available as an external download?
It's just EZCAD at the moment, depending on the card in your system, you may be able to use a later version which improves things somewhat.
There's a possibility that Lightburn may be bringing out...
I'm pretty sure Lightburn can also do the grey scale 3D engraving.
I engrave a lot of leather and have never put any type of tape or finish on before it goes in the laser. Most coloured leather, wipes clean with a damp sponge, some then requires a wipe with...
They have two versions and the free version traced an image fine for me. I saved and then imported it straight into Lightburn.
Another way of creating the Intarsia image ready for the laser is scan the image into your computer, or download one off the internet and use an app such as WinTopo (there's a free version). It will...
Speak to the company, they sold me just one machine and even arranged air freight to my door.
A Mira 5 might be within your price range if you ordered it direct from the factory rather than go through a local reseller. Just do a search on Alibaba.
Have a look at the Aeon Mira 5, I have one with a 30w metal tube, so just air cooled. Great for engraving, but I wouldn’t use it for cutting anything thicker than card.
I engrave a lot of leather, different thicknesses and different colours. I find that different colours require different settings. Last night I was engraving some gloss white leather on my 60w...
Thought I would write about my purchase experience of my latest laser, this was an import from China to the UK.
Over the last few years I’ve purchased five lasers (three CO2 and two fibers), for...
To add photos using your phone or tablet, click the insert image button (looks like a frame in the quick reply area) and make sure ‘From Computer’ tab is highlighted in the box that comes up, then...
Look at Aeon too. I have a small Aeon Mira 5 with a 30w RF tube, quality is a step above the other Chinese lasers I’ve got. I have a larger Aeon Nova 10 on the way. www.aeonlaser.net
Don’t forget to give Lightburn a try, as a replacement for RDWorks, it has a 30 day free trial. I used to use Inkscape a lot to design stuff, but am using Lightburn more and more for this.
