Hi, I have an OMtech AF2028 80w laser and I am new to LightBurn and the machine and I was wondering what type of digital files I can transfer into LightBurn to laser engrave some slate coasters. I am looking for digital files that I can use as I see fit, like Monograms, holiday themed etc…
Any help you could offer would be greatly appreciated!
A caveat: it seems many files out there have flaws / errors / poor implementations causing problems with laser cutters. In particular, elaborate “artistic” images / pictures do not transfer well to a CNC machine drawing them with a needle-point tool.
