So you just bought a OMTech CO2 (or other brand) Laser cutter engraver and have no idea where to start with speed, power, or other settings in Lightburn?  These are the files for you!  These are premade Lightburn Material Libraries to take all the guesswork out!  I've done all the work for you!  Click the links below to get them from my Esty shop.  I've broken down different libraries depending on what watt C02 Laser you bought!
Check out the 'how to install' a Lightburn material library below also!

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!

With all the crazyiness going on in the world during the corona virus, covid-19, I love the fact that people are hiding bears around their homes for children to 'hunt' for during walks and bike rides.  I designed a very simple file that can be used on a cnc, laser cutter, 3d printer, vinyl cutter or just a regular everyday home printer that you can print out on paper for kids to color.
Please feel free to use these files as you'd like.  Please tag me, email me, or leave a comment on the socials so I can see what you do with the, @myerswoodshop.
We're in this together!  Let's bring a smile to the faces of children.
