Hey it's Rich, the Louisiana hobby guy.
today we're going to be talking about
2
00:00:03,840 --> 00:00:10,720
how to frame with a hundred percent accuracy.
and as I look around on the different forums,
3
00:00:10,720 --> 00:00:15,760
like for instance the Facebook groups, I see
a lot of people that are posting their work,
4
00:00:15,760 --> 00:00:22,160
and nothing is completely square. you have a tile
and it's just off by a little bit and it makes
5
00:00:22,160 --> 00:00:27,760
the whole thing look terrible. so I have a trick
that I want to share with you on how to get the
6
00:00:27,760 --> 00:00:34,320
perfect framing in Lightburn. normally what I
do is I create templates. so you can check my
7
00:00:34,320 --> 00:00:40,000
other videos, and I'll put a link down below
to creating a template for your work-piece,
8
00:00:40,000 --> 00:00:45,200
so that you can batch things off. but this is
for people that don't use templates and they're
9
00:00:45,200 --> 00:00:50,000
just burning one tile, or they're just burning one
canvas and so on. so let's take a look at what we
10
00:00:50,000 --> 00:00:55,680
got here. we have got an ornament that I made.
and I just created this really quickly from my
11
00:00:55,680 --> 00:01:00,720
line art... and I'll put a download if you want to
download this states library, which is all vector
12
00:01:00,720 --> 00:01:06,960
based line art that I created from an official
US map. and I traced each state individually, so
13
00:01:06,960 --> 00:01:12,240
they're also in their right proportion. but right
now we're talking about framing. you see I have
14
00:01:12,240 --> 00:01:16,400
my work piece here, and this is going to
be cut out of wood. and if I come up here,
15
00:01:16,400 --> 00:01:23,120
you'll see that I have this in inches right now,
over here, but if I come up here and I look at the
16
00:01:23,120 --> 00:01:30,160
width and the height, I find the largest number.
so 3.854 is the largest number because I want this
17
00:01:30,160 --> 00:01:35,200
to be three and a half inches wide. that's what my
standard is for these hangers. so what I did was,
18
00:01:35,200 --> 00:01:42,880
I created this outer circle over here at 3.9,
just slightly larger than my actual work piece.
19
00:01:42,880 --> 00:01:48,720
and then over here what I did was, let me double
click and bring this up, I set this for 2000. and
20
00:01:48,720 --> 00:01:56,080
what I'm going to set this for max power is 0.05,
and leave it in line. so that barely turns on the
21
00:01:56,080 --> 00:02:02,400
laser. .05 won't cut anything, but it'll output
the laser so that we can see how it moves. and
22
00:02:02,400 --> 00:02:08,560
then I say okay. so now this green circle... oh
what I forgot to say was, and we're going to put
23
00:02:08,560 --> 00:02:14,240
this on three passes, and that's going to give
us plenty of time to get this perfectly framed.
24
00:02:14,240 --> 00:02:21,040
and that's just how simple it is. just creating
something slightly larger than your work-piece and
25
00:02:21,040 --> 00:02:25,920
setting it to frame three times at a slow speed.
and let's take this down, let's take the speed
26
00:02:25,920 --> 00:02:33,280
down to say 600 as an example so it goes nice and
slow. so now I have it at 600 spd & .05 power.
27
00:02:33,280 --> 00:02:37,120
I'm going to turn off the air assist, and I'm
going to turn off the air assist over here,
28
00:02:37,120 --> 00:02:42,800
because I'm using a diode laser that does not have
air assist connected to the pin-out on the control
29
00:02:42,800 --> 00:02:47,920
board. by turning these off, it just sends less
g-code commands to the control board. so if you're
30
00:02:47,920 --> 00:02:53,360
using a diode laser and you don't have air assist
plugged into the pin-out on the control board,
31
00:02:53,360 --> 00:02:58,640
just always turn these off. there's one other
thing that I wanted to mention that one of my
32
00:02:58,640 --> 00:03:03,280
viewers commented on, and it's a setting. and
it's over here on the laser tab, and this is
33
00:03:03,280 --> 00:03:08,320
under optimization settings right here, if we
click on that, tick this box off right here,
34
00:03:08,320 --> 00:03:13,280
cut inner shapes first, then you don't have to
worry about the priority, because it'll cut this
35
00:03:13,280 --> 00:03:18,400
first, cut this one second, and then come around
and finish the outside. go into your optimization
36
00:03:18,400 --> 00:03:22,640
settings and check this box that says cut inner
shapes first, and then you don't have to worry
37
00:03:22,640 --> 00:03:27,360
about the cutouts. now another thing that you
want to do, you see this green line right here?
38
00:03:27,360 --> 00:03:32,960
if I right click you'll see it flash, is going to
be the third layer to be cut. we don't want that.
39
00:03:32,960 --> 00:03:38,240
we want that to be the first layer. so we're going
to come over here, and we're going to go to the up
40
00:03:38,240 --> 00:03:43,920
arrow. we're going to move it up to the very top.
and by moving it to the very top, that's the first
41
00:03:43,920 --> 00:03:49,040
priority, first thing that happens is this green
line, the second thing that happens, we're going
42
00:03:49,040 --> 00:03:55,680
to take the fill, that fill right there, and move
it up one, so it's going to do the line to frame
43
00:03:55,680 --> 00:04:00,480
it with, it's going to do the fill, and we want
to set this to fill, and then it's going to do
44
00:04:00,480 --> 00:04:05,920
the cutout. so green first, blue second, red
third. Okay. and it will cut the inner shapes
45
00:04:05,920 --> 00:04:11,600
first. and if we come to the preview real quick,
we can scrub this back to, that's the first line,
46
00:04:11,600 --> 00:04:17,840
and we'll hit play and you'll see it goes around
three times now it's going to do the engraving,
47
00:04:20,880 --> 00:04:22,640
and now it's going to do the inner cut out,
48
00:04:25,200 --> 00:04:29,680
and if we skip forward a little bit, you'll
see that it's cutting out this interior piece.
49
00:04:29,680 --> 00:04:33,360
and once it finishes the
interior, it's going to come back
50
00:04:33,920 --> 00:04:38,400
and cut out the outside part so that
nothing falls out while we're doing this,
51
00:04:39,600 --> 00:04:45,840
and there's the outside. it cut the hole in
the top now it's going to come back around,
52
00:04:48,240 --> 00:04:54,400
it's going to cut around the hole like so, and
make its final pass. and now we're ready to send
53
00:04:54,400 --> 00:04:59,520
this job to the laser. so in an effort to save
time, I sent this a little while ago. here's
54
00:04:59,520 --> 00:05:05,200
the actual video that I took. and it's actually
better, because I used a regular camera instead of
55
00:05:05,200 --> 00:05:11,760
using my Lightburn camera. so I'll just go ahead
and run this, and we'll watch it as it works. now
56
00:05:11,760 --> 00:05:19,280
here's the beauty of this, is, see me moving the
work piece? I can move it to exactly where I want.
57
00:05:19,280 --> 00:05:25,200
and this is going to frame three times. now and
I'll just keep moving it as it gets to the bottom,
58
00:05:26,400 --> 00:05:32,640
I'll move it to exactly where I want, and this
is just .05 output on the laser, so it's not
59
00:05:32,640 --> 00:05:37,840
going to mark anything. and I just keep moving
it until I have it aligned exactly where I want.
60
00:05:38,960 --> 00:05:42,320
but just remember you do have to
wear your glasses to do this because
61
00:05:42,320 --> 00:05:47,760
it is a laser it is outputting. and some of you
might notice that I finally got my board printed
62
00:05:48,880 --> 00:05:56,240
for the new Neje laser, and I actually designed
a little holder for the circuit board as well.
63
00:06:00,560 --> 00:06:04,720
so let's skip forward a little bit
and you'll see it's going around
64
00:06:04,720 --> 00:06:10,160
and around. now I'll got it exactly where I
want on the work-piece. and now it's going
65
00:06:10,160 --> 00:06:16,560
to come back and start the actual engraving,
and we'll move it forward a little bit more
66
00:06:19,040 --> 00:06:23,200
until we get past the engraving. and
now it's going to start the cutouts.
67
00:06:26,240 --> 00:06:30,480
it's going to cut the inside
first and all of the inside pieces
68
00:06:30,480 --> 00:06:34,000
before it cuts the outside. and
let's just skip forward a little bit,
69
00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:37,120
skip forward a little more, it's
cutting all the inside parts out.
70
00:06:44,800 --> 00:06:47,680
and now it's cutting the outside part and you
71
00:06:47,680 --> 00:06:50,400
can see the little hole was
cut out in the middle first.
72
00:06:52,880 --> 00:06:57,200
and now it's finished and
it's exactly where I wanted it
73
00:06:57,200 --> 00:07:05,520
on this work piece. and now all I have to do is
just pop it out and take out the inner parts,
74
00:07:06,240 --> 00:07:12,960
the little hole in the top these two pieces
here and then what I got is this, this is
75
00:07:12,960 --> 00:07:17,360
the outer part. I still have to clean up this one
little spot right here. I'll just take my exacto,
76
00:07:17,360 --> 00:07:22,240
that one didn't quite come through all the way,
and this is the final product. and all I have
77
00:07:22,240 --> 00:07:27,120
to do is sand off some of this burn up here,
because it spent a lot of time in the area,
78
00:07:27,120 --> 00:07:32,560
and I don't have my air assist on. I leave it off
because I know a lot of you don't have air assist.
79
00:07:32,560 --> 00:07:37,440
if you had air assist this would come out a lot
cleaner, but a couple of swipes with some 240 grit
80
00:07:37,440 --> 00:07:43,440
sandpaper will take this all right off. and it's
going to be a beautiful piece. now another thing I
81
00:07:43,440 --> 00:07:50,160
do is, I order these gold hangers off of amazon.
it's I think it's 750 for 200 of them. they're
82
00:07:50,160 --> 00:07:54,880
really nice for any type of hanging ornament, and
I'll put a link to them below in the description.
83
00:07:54,880 --> 00:07:59,120
and this is how it looks. they just plug in, so
you just slip it through the hole, plug it in,
84
00:07:59,120 --> 00:08:04,160
and you get yourself a nice little hanging
ornament. so now how do you do the framing on a
85
00:08:04,160 --> 00:08:12,560
large job? what you can do is take this and
delete it, and then let's just take this and
86
00:08:12,560 --> 00:08:17,520
move it up. I'm pressing down on my center mouse
wheel to move the bed and just dragging. I'm just
87
00:08:17,520 --> 00:08:22,960
going to move it up here. and let's say that you
wanted to do nine of these. so what I would do is,
88
00:08:22,960 --> 00:08:30,640
I would come down here to the array tool, click
on array, and I would make three of these,
89
00:08:30,640 --> 00:08:35,040
now I'm not going to put this in a virtual
array. I'm just going to leave it in a regular
90
00:08:35,040 --> 00:08:40,960
array. so I'll put three across and I'll
put three down. and now I have nine of them.
91
00:08:42,640 --> 00:08:49,760
so now if I press CTRL + A to select everything,
it will tell me what the height and the width is.
92
00:08:50,560 --> 00:08:55,840
and the only thing I really need is the height...
I don't even really need that. so I I can just
93
00:08:55,840 --> 00:09:05,760
take and draw out a rectangle, put it on the green
layer, select it, and bring this over to here,
94
00:09:06,560 --> 00:09:10,880
and then just drag it out until
I get to the size that I need,
95
00:09:13,440 --> 00:09:21,840
move it over like so, move it to here like so, and
now we can maximize this workspace so we we get it
96
00:09:21,840 --> 00:09:26,400
exactly where we want it. and then again we're
going to take, and every time you do this it's
97
00:09:26,400 --> 00:09:31,680
going to move, we're going to move the priority
up to the top, so that it's going to do the
98
00:09:31,680 --> 00:09:40,000
framing first 600 spd & 0.05, in line mode, and
here we can do... well we could leave it at,
99
00:09:40,000 --> 00:09:47,120
we'll leave it at three passes, and we'll set
it to 1800 instead, because it's such a large
100
00:09:47,120 --> 00:09:54,480
area. so we'll do 1800 speed, .05 power, in
line mode, three passes. and we'll say okay.
101
00:09:55,280 --> 00:09:59,200
then the second thing it's going to do
is come back and do all of the engraving.
102
00:09:59,200 --> 00:10:04,640
and then the third thing it will do is come back
and cut out all of the shapes here. so this is how
103
00:10:04,640 --> 00:10:10,560
you would do a group of these. but again I suggest
that you watch my video on creating a template,
104
00:10:10,560 --> 00:10:14,320
because it's much easier to do this with
a template if you're going to batch a job
105
00:10:14,320 --> 00:10:18,000
like this, where you're doing a bunch of them.
well then you want to have a template. and I make
106
00:10:18,000 --> 00:10:22,240
them out of cardboard. you can make them out of
anything that you want, but I prefer cardboard.
107
00:10:22,240 --> 00:10:28,720
and I have a square on my work bed that I just
line the cardboard up to, and I tack it down with
108
00:10:28,720 --> 00:10:33,280
a couple of thumb tacks. and then I just drop all
of my pieces in to the cutouts, and I don't have
109
00:10:33,280 --> 00:10:37,520
to do any framing at all. but this is for the
people that want to do the framing. there you
110
00:10:37,520 --> 00:10:44,320
have it. now if you want to get these states over
here, I have these on my forums. you can download
111
00:10:44,320 --> 00:10:49,440
the art library for free, on the forums. and
let me just show you a little bit of where,
112
00:10:49,440 --> 00:10:54,320
and here it is on my forum. I'll just show you
a little bit of how to get here. so if I were to
113
00:10:54,880 --> 00:11:00,240
come back to the home, the best
thing to do up here is quick links.
114
00:11:00,240 --> 00:11:05,120
and once you're a member and you've signed in
you'll be able to see the downloads. and what
115
00:11:05,120 --> 00:11:10,480
you want to do is come to quick links, and go to
new posts. and then when you do this you'll see
116
00:11:10,480 --> 00:11:16,720
that I just posted these in my Lightburn art
library downloads. and to get to it quickly,
117
00:11:16,720 --> 00:11:21,600
just go to page 2, because that's where the newest
posts are going to be. so if we go to page 2,;
118
00:11:22,160 --> 00:11:26,640
you'll see there are different downloads
here. scroll all the way to the end
119
00:11:27,760 --> 00:11:33,280
and you'll see there's my line art for the US
states. and this has all 50 states in it. you
120
00:11:33,280 --> 00:11:38,080
just download, install it to Lightburn, and you're
good to go. so that's it, I think I've covered
121
00:11:38,080 --> 00:11:43,760
everything today. I hope this video has helped
you out, it'll help you learn to frame like a pro
122
00:11:43,760 --> 00:11:48,400
and you'll never have anything that's off in
the future when you're burning a tile or you're
123
00:11:48,400 --> 00:11:53,680
burning a canvas or something like that. you'll
be able to frame it up perfectly and the burn
124
00:11:53,680 --> 00:11:59,440
is always going to come out with 100% precision,
so you know that it's going to look really really
125
00:11:59,440 --> 00:12:09,840
well. so I hope this video has helped you
out, and as always I thank you for watching!15789
