In this video, I revisit the feature in release candidate 2.1.06 and show how it’s now working as expected after recent fixes. You’ll see how Quick Nest automatically organizes overlapping shapes, adjusts padding, and even creates additional layouts when everything won’t fit on a single workpiece. I walk through real examples to demonstrate how to maximize material usage, reduce waste, and control spacing between parts. More importantly, I break down common issues like unexpected rotations, flipped designs, and lost inner elements—and how to avoid them using key settings like rotation lock and inner object lock. You’ll also learn the difference between traditional docking and Quick Nest, why docking won’t always respect increased padding, and how nesting solves that limitation. Plus, I show how this tool can be used for more than just nesting, making it a powerful addition to your workflow. If you’re using LightBurn or planning to upgrade, this feature is worth understanding before it officially releases. #LightBurn #LaserEngraving #QuickNest #LaserCutting #CNC #LightBurnTutorial #LaserBusiness #EngravingTips #LaserWorkflow #MaterialOptimization #LaserSoftware #CNCTips #LaserProjects #MakerTools #DigitalFabrication ================================ VIDEO MENTIONS: =================================== Support Links: https://hobowithwood.com/membership/ One Time Donations https://www.paypal.me/youtubehobo =================================== Links To Products I Use: 4 in 1 Hat Press https://hobowithwood.com/HatPress Super Cool Workbench https://hobowithwood.com/Workbench Stainless Steel Shelving Unit https://hobowithwood.com/StainlessShelving Perfect paper for cutting with your laser. https://hobowithwood.com/WhiteCardstock https://hobowithwood.com/RedGreenCardstock https://hobowithwood.com/GoldSilverCardstock Clock Mechanism link https://hobowithwood.com/ClockMech 2.5" Dice Blanks https://hobowithwood.com/DiceBlanks PREMIUM Baltic Birch Plywood, 3 mm 12" x 12" (300MM X 300MM) https://hobowithwood.com/PremiumBalticBirch 1/16" Basswood 12" x 12" (300MM x 300MM) https://hobowithwood.com/ThinBasswood =================================== Some of these links are affiliate links, but will not cost you a penny more!
