LightBurn Materials Library

LightBurn Hardware Compatibility
1

I have a JPT 60W MOPA, my Lightburn has no materials library, does anyone know where I can get one or can some one pass it to me? Specifically, when using Lighburn, you create a layer/material setting in your library and that creates a (.clb) file. That file is all of the settings for materials. This file can be shared and used by others. For example, if your library has Stainless Steel, Aluminum, Wood, that file when uploaded on my machine would show all those settings. Thank you for your time in advance. I do realize this is just a starting point. Respecfully, Sean

man, I so miss my fiber lasers :frowning:

I actually saw this as an opportunity to test out the new ChatGPT 4.0… Mind letting me know if this list makes sense?

Do you think ChatGPT4 could do a material library for the Ortur Laser Master 2 Pro S2?

Alright, second try. Posting on mobile was messing everything up. So it’s interesting because the settings vary each time I ask for it, and are different based on the format output (text vs table), but they don’t seem like they’re too crazy… so possibly a good starting point?

Here are a few answers.

  1. Birch plywood (engraving):
  • Power: 70-80%
  • Speed: 200-300 mm/min
  • Passes: 1-2
  1. Cherry plywood (engraving):
  • Power: 70-80%
  • Speed: 200-300 mm/min
  • Passes: 1-2
  1. Maple plywood (engraving):
  • Power: 70-80%
  • Speed: 200-300 mm/min
  • Passes: 1-2
  1. Paper (cutting):
  • Power: 20-40%
  • Speed: 500-1000 mm/min
  • Passes: 1
  1. Cardboard (cutting):
  • Power: 40-60%
  • Speed: 200-500 mm/min
  • Passes: 1-2
Material Engraving Power Engraving Speed Cutting Power Cutting Speed Passes (Cutting)
Birch Ply 60-70% 100-200 mm/s N/A N/A N/A
Cherry Ply 60-70% 100-200 mm/s N/A N/A N/A
Maple Ply 60-70% 100-200 mm/s N/A N/A N/A
Balsa 30-40% 200-300 mm/s N/A N/A N/A
Leather 40-60% 150-250 mm/s N/A N/A N/A
Corrugated Cardboard 40-50% 200-300 mm/s 50-70% 50-100 mm/s 1-3 (depending on thickness)
Paper N/A N/A 10-20% 200-300 mm/s 1-2 (depending on thickness)

I was discussing Chat GPT with a friend of mine who is in Software. She warned me that AI Chat technology is often “Confidently wrong.”

Please use the Materials test tool to find your cut settings.
I offer this Chat GPT result for your consideration.

I wouldn’t fault you if you weren’t a car guy and didn’t get the joke.

Oh I’m well aware that ChatGTP often spews nonsense, but I just used it to write a 15k word document in a single day. Took a lot of babysitting and corrections, but overall it was surprisingly right. It also improved the firmware memory efficiency on a project I was working on by reducing consumed memory by 3% (important on an arduino chip). I’m really curious to see how close or far off the mark these recommendations are.

Thank you all for the posts, I do appreciate it! I should make my question a little clearer. When using Lighburn, when you create a setting in your library it starts creating a (.clb) file. That file is all of the settings for materials. Specifically, for those of you using a Fiber Laser and Lightburn I am looking for a copy of that. Some of you folks have been using it for multiple years and have built up a wealth of knowledge that I am trying to learn from using that file. If anyone can share that it would be great!!! Sean

This list does make sense to a degree. It’s missing some data I am looking for when talking MOPA like pulse time that sort of things. I am also looking for things like annealing settings. Thank you for taking the time. Sean
