HO scale brick siding

A discussion about Z scale bricks and a problem you may encounter:

Cutting micro small brick wall looks like plus (+) signs in certain areas - using laserboard

So I am a model railroader working in Z-scale (1:220). To give you an idea of how small the scale is, it’s 6.5MM between the rails and the average person on a layout is 6MM tall. Yeah, small. I am trying to cut some brick buildings I have designed, using a basic entry level ORTUR 5W unit, with added air assist and an upgraded lens. I have had some good very good success with multiple materials, and I am using “laserboard” now for this building. See attached pic and note the loading dock …

Rooftile design

Hallo I have the following question about drawing in Lightburn. I would like to draw a rooftile design for laser engraving. Would anyone like to explain to me the best way to do this in Lightburn. I would like to draw 1 object so that I can expand it with matrix. Thanks in advance for the help. [istockphoto-1184525968-612x612]
