Oh and I owe you an answer for the following:
I put two sided jobs in one file. I use the “cut selected graphics” to target the side I am working with.
In the event the font and back are identical, you can consider making 2 objects at a time (could be 4, 6, 8, 10 etc…). One being the front, the other being the back. Run this job, then when the job is complete, flip everything in the index.
My son (a boy obsessed with knives, ninjas, and the like) came in to the shop about an hour ago. He was watching me design this turn table corner of a work bench in CAD:

Then he started asking if it was possible to make a karambit knife on one of the machines (either the laser or the spindle).
The result was we used the laser and Lightburn to make the following:

Great edging on half inch acrylic (single pass):

Using the cut outs of the material, I flipped the k…
hi, new user to lightburn here, for the last few years i have been using lasercut 5.3.
i make a product that i engrave on both sides, the object is asymmetric so on the second side the engraving is in a different location.
the way i did this with my old laser and with lasercut was to have a template for the second side and i had marked the laser bed, after originally cutting it, to line it up again in the future.
i now have lightburn, i have a camera but yet to set it up, so before i go down …
I really appreciate the user interface and intuitiveness of LightBurn. More and more it is the starting point for all design work (whether the final destination is the laser, the cnc spindle, or the 3D printer).
Attached to this post is a project file I created last night with my son to make him a DIY spinner. Our original intent was for this to be cut from ¼" acrylic and double sided engraved (which we did and you will see pictured below).
It is just so nice to have the ease and tools of de…
That really came out nice!
