This is a PREMADE library for materials for the Aeon Laser Mira 9.
This allows you to take the guess work out of finding the right settings for your Mira 9! No more wondering what speeds and power, dpi, etc. to start with! Follow me on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/myerswoodshop for laser video how tos and projects! This is an instant digital download! You must 'load' the file iin the 'library' tab of Lightburn. Has the following materials: Acrylic Birch Plywood Cardboard Doormat Hardboard Leather MDF Oak Yeti Powder Coat LightBurn's Material Library provides a way to store and organize lots of presets for different operations on different materials, and have a way to quickly apply them. This is entirely user-generated - You set up a cut layer however you like and save it to a Library. You set a material type, thickness (if appropriate), and a short description. I've been fortunate to have both the Aeon Laser US Mira 9 90w laser cutter and the OMTech Orion Motors 60w laser cutter in my shop. I made a video comparing the two lasers and seeing if the Aeon Laser Mira 9 is worth the thousands extra that it costs over the OMTech 60w. *I'll be updating this post in the future with MUCH more info. For now, enjoy the video!* If you've been following me on YouTube or social media, you've seen me us a bunch of lasers, most specifically, the black and yellow OMTech 60w. While it's been a great laser, it's on the lower end of the features and price range for a co2 laser. It was time for an upgrade to a more powerful laser with more features. This is when I found Aeon Lasers! Aeon Laser USA is located in Melbourne, FL. With over 12 years of experience, they provide an incredible amount information and training. They care that each customer gets up and running and know how to use their laser.
Some other key features included a dedicated rotary port, large open window for viewing with a safety switch, full led lighting, motorized z, auto focus of z, faster engraving speed, built in WIFI, and incredible customer support, training, and online instruction. So far, I'm extremely happy I've made the upgrade. When considering a CO2 or Fiber laser, take a serious look at Aeon Laser US as a contender! Ever wanted a fancy custom door mat on your own front door or for a gift?! We'll, it's easy with a co2 laser! Just a few minutes of programming and one mat and you have a priceless gift that you cannot buy! It's easy, unique and fast to make! Also, I've placed free, helpful files at the end of this post to get you started! The first thing you'll need is a bank mat. I've used a couple different ones but this PLUS Haven Pure Coco Coir Doormat seems to be the one everyone likes and it gives the best results! They run about $19 on amazon and the ship in a nice compact box you can use to ship right back to the customer! Click the read more for the rest of this tutorial and free files!

This is a premade library of cutting speeds and power for various woods, plastics, and other materials. These are my personal settings I use on my 60w machine. |
| How could you forget? It's been one of the single greatest purchases in my shop to date. A year later, and I still think it's worth every penny spent. Now that purchase is even better. Orion Motor Tech (the Chinese company that makes it) now has a US presence and an impressive website. They are now called OMTECH. |
