    I think Etsy have brought in a charge to set up a store - I paid £14 but I think it can be £21. I also use Square for my credit card payments (craft shows) but this integrates brilliantly with Etsy and you can easily set up your own website with a shop at no charge (unless you take your own domain and a more complex site template).

    You could use "circular array" function to place your small circles evenly around the big circle. Also, Lightburn in the newest version (1.7) has this new handy tool - scissors, which you can use to get rid of some parts of overlapping shapes. Maybe you'll find these hints useful :)

    Had my Onyx-R for a few days now (first laser)...I was very interested in adding the external control panel, commonly plugged into 6442* style controllers. But this OnyxR (and I think yours too), has a KT332N controller. I asked CloudRay and they said the HMI panel was "not" compatible....yet yours seem to be plug/play. Did you have any trouble with compatibility?

      For whatever reason, mine worked fine. The display of the file did not come up, but all the functions worked as intended. I wish I could say the same about the ONYX, lol.

    What do you think about the Omtech Polar +? I'm trying to decide between the Hurricane and the Omtech Polar+. They seem to be very similar, however the omtech comes with the rotary attachment already. They're the same price during the presale. No fire extinguisher on the omtech. I only have a k40+ for the omtech and I've never owned an atomstack, so I'm not sure which would be more reliable either.

      Well, as I said in my other video, if you have room for a full size, that is the better choice. BUT, if you need a desktop...hmm, I trust Atomstack slightly more, but the new Polar+ has a few better features. I like the autofocus better, the touch screen that can move and frame is better. Yeah, I can see quite a few things I like better on the Polar+. Wish I had both to try out. Maybe someone I trust will get one.

    Eric: I made the 11-1/2 x 7-1/2 cross. And I need to ship it. Would it be safe to send it in a USPS bubble envelope. If not what would you suggest? Thanks

      I use mdf or scrap wood as a sandwich, then wrap it in bubble wrap and it did fine. I used a flat box, but I think the double wood sandwich is the important part. I would say at least heavy cardboard on one side and 3mm wood on the other so it can't bend.

    I made pockets for slips of card stock with the code printed on them (no problem with contrast). This way I can update the code if necessary and not waste the wood. Alternatively, I guess you could glue new codes over the original, if necessary.

    Can you share what your favourite glue is to put these together. Does good old wood glue work best?

      On wood, I almost always use Titebond 2, sometimes medium CA Glue (superglue) when needed.

    You said painting your pieces was a pain in the butt. Would it be possible to prepaint sheets then cut your pieces from it?

    • @ValleyForged
      @ValleyForged 12 дней назад

      For most projects, yes. For the Corgis this won't work.

    We’re thinking about getting the roly lasermatic mk2 laser to cut leather, but have been reading a lot about people saying the smell from laser cut leather is really bad. We’d be doing it inside but are looking into getting a filter system for the exhaust before venting it out the window. Curious what your experience has been with fumes using this laser to cut leather

    • @ValleyForged
      @ValleyForged 12 дней назад

      I don't think it will be cost effective to filter the smoke, but it may help keep the smell down with a charcoal filter. I use this 6" exhaust fan (below) and I smell NOTHING in my house (from anything). The trick is to have the fan at the window, not at the machine, with a hose attached to the machine. I run the hose outside my house (from the fan) to an area away from people with an 'out only' vent at the end. I am currently using the mk2 XL. If you do get one, please use my link (in all my roly vids). Still my favorite laser. Exhaust Fan: www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0C7Z7PPBH/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&th=1

      will be curious as to the thickness of the wood you will be using. Can you just increase the size of the file to make a cross 24" =/-? Spent a far amount of time on Esty looking for a site that had your complete program of free standing, wall mounted as well as shadow box crosses. None to be found. Interesting

    Have you tried the Nano on your crosses? Key chain crosses would be awesome sellers... thank you for the review. I truly value your opinions and thoughts.

      I can't see them being easy to put in your pocket. I suppose you could make a regular keychain and engrave one though.
