I really wish more videos were from start to finish like this one! As a new GF owner, I just needed simple specifics and your video and follow up comments did that perfectly and simply! Thank you!! You now have a new subscriber :)

Printing them on paper before committing to a cut is such a great idea!

@VicTacToe 4 жыл бұрын

Thanks! I didn’t do that at first and I hated wasting material!

UPDATE: After filming this video I learned that it's easiest to make your cut lines RED and score lines BLUE. That way the Glowforge automatically organizes the file so that the cut lines are on the bottom. And the GF will score first and THEN cut. :)

What color should be used for engraving? And is there a reason up use score over engraving? Thanks!!

@VicTacToe 3 жыл бұрын

@@lomoliving5528 I use a magenta color for engraving, but you can really use whatever color you want as long as it's different than your score and cut color! Scoring is much faster than engraving and scoring is just basically drawing on top of the wood where the engraving is cutting into the wood to engrave.

Gaging the size with a quick printout is a brutally good idea

I am waiting for my Glowforge to come in January. I am watching video after video and nobody is really talking about settings in the videos. After watching your videos ... I am not a "ruin product with trial and error" person. I would love a video or a tutorial about your cut and engrave settings! I would even pay ... maybe throw it up as a digital file in your ETSY store?!

Hi Lisa! I actually am working on some earring files to sell as digital downloads in my Etsy store, and they will have my settings included :) Here’s a link to the store I will be selling them in: www.etsy.com/shop/victactoedownloads

Love the video, thank you. Are the settings descriptive as depth? Like if scoring was on a higher power, would it make it deeper?

@kkobsessed1994 3 жыл бұрын

Hi thank you so much fo sharing your process! I do have one question though, when drawing in Adobe illustrator were you working on one layer for each part of the design? Or multiple layers? (not including your background template)

@VicTacToe 3 жыл бұрын

You’re welcome! In illustrator I usually just work on one layer, and lock the other layers I’m not using so they don’t move around. Not sure if that’s technically the best way to do it, but it works for me! Haha

Hi! You can select an object and hold down option to copy it or the good old control c and control v to copy and paste!

Hello i am new to gf and wanted to know how you figure out the settings if you are making it for your own designs?

@VicTacToe 3 жыл бұрын

Hi! It’s basically just trial and error. However, If you are using Glowforge material you can use the proofgrade settings.

Hi! Didn’t see where you drew the hole for the jump ring. How do you know how big or small to draw your creation in procreate/size of jump ring hole so it comes out how you want it to when you use the glowforge? I’m trying to create 1” earrings but confused how to measure everything out

@VicTacToe 2 жыл бұрын

Hi there! I usually just do some trial and error until I get the right size for the jump ring thickness i'm using. This particular hole was .7" wide x .7" high for a 21 gauge jump ring.

Why did you not use the tape?

@VicTacToe 3 жыл бұрын

Because I paint my designs, I decided it was a waste of time and material to use tape, since you can't see it if the wood gets a little charred up anyway :)
