Lightburn for carving

[JMIKE44 (John Choate)]

Can I use lightburn for carving/wood engraving the same as I use it for laser burning?

[Rick (Technical Evangelist)]

Yes.

Engraving a screen grab off a greyscale STL file

Had a go at engraving a screen grab of a 3D STL file using a CloudRay compound lens, on my GWeike 80 watt machine onto Birch ply. I used the following settings. Speed 200mm/sec, Max Power 17.50, Min Power 12.50, DPI 304, Image Mode Jarvis, Enhance Radius 5, Enhance Amount 200. The settings were a bit random, but I seemed to have got lucky! As I have some time on my hands, I’ll try and get the settings tweaked, happy with how it came out though [image] Original file. [image]

LB is not intended for router CNC use.

Oh, @HalfNormal makes a good point. I may have read that incorrectly. LightBurn is for laser systems and does not support other CNC equipment, such as a router, at this time.
