In this video, I show you how to use the Print and Cut tool in LightBurn to place your design exactly where you want it on your project.
I use a Mancala board as an example and walk through the full setup step by step. This method makes it easy to line everything up and avoid mistakes.
I also share a few helpful tips, like prefinishing your project to make cleanup easier and lowering your air assist to reduce smoke marks during engraving.
If you are new to Print and Cut, I have another full tutorial linked in this video where I go into using Print and Cut to Engrave Slate Coasters:.

This is a great technique for anyone doing laser engraving, CNC work, or detailed projects that need precise placement.
Whether you're a beginner or an experienced laser user, this method will save time. Watch as I walk through the full setup— LightBurn to testing alignment and engraving the Mancala Game Board.
