Little Badger Scrollwork Practice.

Very nice. Any learning curve to share? Do you have prior experience? How easy is it for a bubba to take on?
Not going to lie, the learning curve is pretty steep. Mastering material settings on a fiber laser takes a lot of trial and error, starting with 2D marking and engraving before progressing to depth engraving. Then there's the software—Lightburn, Adobe Illustrator, AI tools, and SVG conversion. On top of that, creating templates, capturing accurate photos of the workpiece, and drawing out templates all add to the complexity.

I've had my laser for about eight months now, and while it's challenging, YouTube has been an invaluable resource—that’s where I learned. There are also professionals who offer lessons; I haven't tried them myself, but I've heard good things.

I think it comes down to determination and willingness to play around. If you ever have any questions, happy to help out where I can.
