I have been around with the software and I kinda have the basics of engraving and cutting.Included in the K40 purchase was a chuck style rotary attachment. The guy didn...

I have a design (or part of below). I want to engrave the square around the date without engraving the date (oh I hope that makes sense). So the finished engrave should have the date looking black (black anodised aluminium) another example below.Any help on how to achieve this in lightburn would be appreciated.

Greetings! Probably a Newbie question but I did a Boolean Union to create a new image (worked great!) and then I performed lots of more edits/changes on other parts of my project. Now I want to go back and undo the Boolean Union temporarily so I could re-use a part of the original image. Then I will re-do the Boolean Union. I think I have way to to...

Just a quick, simple question for this. I didn’t want to ruin it by experimenting to see what works best.I have to raise the laser on my D1 Pro 20w for it to go over the lip of this tray. Should I adjust the power and/or the speed to accommodate the lift?
