Ready to learn Lightburn and YOUR CO2 Laser FAST? You're in the right place!
You're not alone! Not too long ago, I was in the same boat as you! I had made my first few Glowforge projects, but what was next? I didn't have a design background, a social media presence, or a customer base - YIKES!
There were so many resources to sift through, RUclips, Facebook, Glowforge forums, Adobe Illustrator Trainings, Suppliers, Etsy, SEO, Website building, so overwhelming!
So I buckled up and spent the better part of a year sorting through all the resources. I pieced together bits and pieces to find what worked for me, so you don't have to!
You're probably looking for some simple resources to get you heading in the right direction as you build your business, right?
GREAT! That's what I'm here for. I'll help you get up to speed faster than I did and with fewer costly mistakes through video, courses, blog posts, guides, and even one-on-one coaching sessions!

Laser Engrave a 40oz Stanley Tumbler Step By Step | Thunder Laser Bolt | Rotoboss Talon & Rotobolt
Today we’ll walk through engraving a Stanley 40oz Full Wrap Tumbler from start to finish. We'll cover how to deal with the tilt, the focal distance, the differences between setting up for a chuck-style rotary vs a roller rotary, and more. I'll be demonstrating in my @ThunderLaserUSA Bolt using my rotaries from @rotobossrotaryattachments.
I'll demonstrate both the Rotoboss Talon and a quick look at the Rotobolt.
Please use my settings cautiously - 400/75 - is likely a bit heavy on the power at a slower speed than you may need. Every laser (even the same brand, and same tube) will perform slightly differently.
Tests on your own machine are very important. With the Bolt, I like to start at 40...

Four Favorite Glues for Glowforge Projects Using Acrylic, Wood or Paper
Thank you
The first thing I did was engraved patches for my kids' mesh backpacks for school. I also scored their names into their pencils and made them each a pencil box too.
I love that!
your square you made in lightburn wasn't actually square. it was 25.4 x 28.331. You should turn the lock OFF and adjust both sides of the square to be equal. I'm assuming your steps per rotation are making up for it somehow. Thanks for the video by the way, all the Thunder videos make lots of assumptions that we know what we are doing already :)
Ha - that's funny that I did that - apologies for the slip up! Appreciate the feedback - I'm trying to be beginner friendly :)
@@ThingsKatieMakes totally, I'm a beginner and it was.much more thorough than anything else I've seen so far. I just wanted to make sure I wasn't crazy on how you measured things 😜
Hey what machine do you use for cutting the acrylic names?
These I did on my Thunder Laser Bolt
I believe by cut line he is referring to doing a clean up pass of the edges after the first pass of engraving, something similar to what you would do on a galvo.
Interesting - thanks for the help
Great interview, 45 minutes for a full wrap Stanley? I just finished a big order of them about 85% coverage in 14.5 minutes each on an Epilog Helix 75 watt laser!
Yeah - an epilog is going to be a whole different class - maybe an upgrade in her future?
Hi! i am so glad i stumbled upon your channel! I do not live in the USA so normally order acrylic from specific vendors for better deals, would you say that any cast glossy white will do or does it have to be gloss one side and matted on the reverse? Also do i have to sublimate the entire surface to void heat marks on the Clear acrylic? I tried an image in the middle of the frame so that i could engrave the rest and use an LED base, but there were like heat marks on the areas with no sub.
Hi! Apologies for the late reply - cast glossy is really the key. As far as the heat marks - I’m not sure - I haven’t had that issue
@@ThingsKatieMakes thank you for taking out the time to reply. "subscribed for more"
Hello! Is the Bolt a CO2 laser machine?
Yes - it is a CO2 Laser - just an RF tube vs a Glass tube
LOVE Creative Fabrica! The site thought I was a bot because I was downloading sooooo many files! LOL. I do find a lot of the lase designs need to be fixed, especially the cut files. Some of the parts are way too thin when cut. Just a heads up for newbies. Thanks for sharing. I joined all your social media pages .
Amazing! Thank you :)
Awesome. Great tutorial! I love your teaching style. Straight to the point! Thank you.
Awesome video thank you so much for sharing! Subscribed.
YAY! Welcome :)
The distortion, at least on xtool ra2 pro, can be fixed using photoshop and warping.
I do think there a lot of ways to adjust in other tools - but man it's a bit of work, right?
loving it, Keep up the good work!!!!
Love listening to this
Hii!! Thanks so much for your video. I wanted to ask if your acrylic warped or anything? I’ve watched a lot for research and most needed to weigh it down to prevent the warping, and also some have shown themselves needing to scrub off the sub paper afterwards. Did you have any of these issues? Thank you!
Yes to warping - I put something VERY heavy - maybe a bunch of books on top after to avoid. No to scrubbing paper - Mine didn't stick!
I'm new from Algeria 😊
Yes
YES, I would like to learn how to do it.
Is there any instructions on how to connect the brackets?
The drop downs? I haven't actually seen any instructions for that - let me know - I might be able to do a quick video on it.
@@ThingsKatieMakes I figured it out, thank you!
Hi do you know if the laser engraving would expose the lead within the cup ? The lead is located under the bottom behind that little round piece though
I've never heard of anyone exposing the lead - the engraving removes the layer of powder coating, so should be ok?
I'm new
Welcome!
Beautiful
thank you!
Can these project be done on a glowforge aura?
Nope - these are the plus or pro series
Are these tests for the glowforge aura
Sorry - plus or pro series
I'm just getting started with a Glowforge Pro. I have been thinking that I want to cut the graphics and lettering for my signs from acrylic instead of painting. I really appreciate your videos!
I’m not the best painter so acrylic is a BIG savior for me!
This video was so helpful for a laser newbie like myself. 👍 I absolutely love the flower wrap you did on this cup. Is the file available for purchase ?
Thanks Katie! Question - what are the two fonts you used in this sign? Thanks!
Hey @laserNUG! Nice to see you here :) the script one is called ball pen: creativemarket.com/VladCristea/1100685-Ball-Pen-Handwritten-Font and the other is called Indigo - creativemarket.com/OnTheSpotStudio/25392-Indigo
@@ThingsKatieMakes Thanks a bunch!
What kind of material do you use to make them?
Acrylic - all different kinds
I have a TON of that ruler tape from when I taught elementary...such an EPIC way to use it for personal GF projects! TY for the inspo!
You got it!
c o o l
YES, I LOVE ADDING "FREEBIES!" I MAKE GRATITUDE PKGS FOR MY CUSTOMERS, ALWAYS!
I love that!
Jill’s work is beautiful and so unique! I’m loving these maker videos.
She’s so very talented!
I'm feeling really worried about the fire risk and fumes and noise level. Have you ever had to put out a fire? If I vent out the window and have a trash can with a lid, will it still smell bad? Do you wear noise protection?
I wouldn’t worry much about fire - if you pay attention and are vented properly, you’ll catch any small fires before they become something big. Off cuts can still smell after cutting, especially acrylic. You can add fine extractors if it bothers you. I don’t wear noise protection, but maybe I should!
@@ThingsKatieMakes Thank you!
What type of 3m product do you use to layer the acrylic names?
I have a video about glues that should help! ruclips.net/video/2hIi8Wq3k70/видео.htmlsi=RHDvVdY2_BiLZ4kC
Thank you! I had no idea this site existed. What a great resource.
Awesome - glad it helped!
You mic needs compression
Thanks - don’t use that one anymore
Where did you get the Hearth and Home font duo from? Thanks!

Where is the best source for the cups?
For Stanley or Non-branded?
I’m sorry 15 minutes in and you’re making absolutely no sense. You didn’t really say anything at all.
Ok - how can I help you?
Would like to see some chrome etching, like for auto or motorcycle bling parts. 😊
Wrong laser type! Need a fiber or UV for that
Think you could squeeze one in front of that window. 😊
Or use some TIO2
@@CruiseMonkeyGames right? there has to be room
I've watched hours & hours to learn how to do these magical wraps. You're the first one that actually showed from design to engrave! I can't thank you enough for your video. I don't feel so intimidated now.
Awesome!! So glad it helped
I was watchinh Think Media with Sean and found your show on his Christian show " podcast" ! Bless you! I sure Would love to colaberate with you! I have my email in my discription box! Bless you, your family, your platform and our Subscribers that we call family, always in ALL WAYS! Your content is AWESOME!
Well thank you!
Wow I didn’t realize the amount of work for ONE cup! Is this easily repeatable if you have 20 cups todo?
Yes, once you get one all set up, subsequent ones are much easier!
nova 24 also has easy positioning and all the features you have on the bolt are on all nova series, you just need to know where to find them, speed, power can all be changes on the fly, changes are made when the controller detect the next node group, so changes are not instantaneous, but start on the next node group, you dont need to remove the lens from nozzle in the 24 to clean it
Yep - I like that you can change the speed and power on the fly in the Nova, but the little turtle and rabbit in the bolt is extra handy for precise placement
nova 24 has autofocus, just press down button the press autofocus button and its done, you have to set the nozzle correctly first,
Fair, a different type of auto focus on the nova - it uses the bed sensors, not a probe
Hi Katie, I listened to the podcast with you on laser everything. Do you have a discount code for CMB ? I’d like to get you something back. You seem very helpful in the laser community!

Thank you for this video! I have had my glow forge for a few months, but just got the nerve to start with it today. I made the gift of good measure. That went great. My question is I downloaded the peg pens, but what do I do to get them to the glow forge to cut. I can figure out the glow forge machine, but where Im going to have a hard time is the computer side of it. Like to import that file into glow forge, and if so, how? Any help is appreciated.
You should see a place to import a design in the Glowforge software and you’ll find the SVG file you’ll want to upload from there - if you’re in the screen that shows your laser bed - it will be the big plus sign
Hello! I enjoyed watching your video. Can this be done on brass metal stamps as well?
The engraving portion? If so, not with a CO2 laser - it can’t engrave metal
Amazing job 🙌🏻. I’d highly recommend a set of calipers for quick & super accurate diameter measurements rather than a tape 😊
I have calipers but still prefer the tape - I find I use it for all sorts of things
