Raise Your Machine - WeCreat Vision / Vista #wecreat laser
Nice tip thanks. I had a Hue Light strip and an aqara contact sensor laying around so now it turns on and off when I open or close the lid.
Will these work made out of black acrylic? I have some offcuts that I can't seem to find a good use for and I an allergic to throwing stuff out that *might* be useful sometime in my lifetime...
I dont see why they wouldn't as long as they are at least 3mm thick ( any smaller splits too easy )
Do you have clips for honeycomb bed?
Nope sorry dont have one to use to make any
Looks awesome, thanks for sharing. I love the idea of this, but how does the software recognize a jig? Doesn’t the image shift when you autofocus again?
@@rosamedina7162 once you set up the jig align parts thru the process the first time, they will print in the same spot every time
Love this easier than a grid sometimes thank you
I'm searching for how to edit a part of a laser cut file that comes in sitting within a part of the design that shouldn't be cut. How do I move it to the side? I'm pulling my hair out trying to find the answer!
will the image split?
if all else fails image edit and erase the unwanted part
I was wondering about how the enhanced cutting worked. I saw that it would change to two passes, but then I would just put it back to one. I was hoping that it would help, but what you're saying makes me think it doesn't. I did install a program called SVG Explorer so I can look at thumbnails of the SVG files in my file explorer windows. It makes it easier to identify what the files are without opening them. I'll have to look through your other videos to see what kind of auxiliary exhaust fan system you've added. That seems like a good idea and having a remote to turn it on and off seems helpful as well.
I dont have an air compressor, so what should I use?

@@WeCreat_Lonnie thanks and Merry Christmas, Lonnie! Engraving a pie via your instructions now...
I love watching your videos and am grateful for the wonderful resource. We have the WeCreat Vista 10w and are having a very difficult time getting projects to cut. As an example 5mm plywood was set at 97 power and a speed of 3 and 2 passes. I had to reprocess it 3 times and it still had places that did not completely cut out so really rough edge and a lot of soot. We have the same problem with 3mm basswood. We only tried the 5mm because the 3mm is really thin for some of the projects we would like to do. Could it be a problem with is laser or it it just a steep learning curve.
My 10W is on the way. Ill have more insight when it gets here. But on my 20 I cut 3mm at 100 power 5 speed 1 pass so yours would have ti do 2-3 passes.
Thank you! We love the engraving 10w does but the cutting has been very disappointing. High power and low speed and multiple passes produces lots of char and the cut is not smooth. Not sure we have tried the settings you suggest but will try them and hopefully get a better cut. I’m glad you will have the 10w to work with. There are very few videos for the Vista and really look forward to yours as you do a wonderful job at explaining and showing everything. Thank you again.
Hi Lonnie I could not find the link to where you got your acrylic. Suggestions?
www.craftcrylic.com/referral/RX8Ro0XAZQmM?
Thanks Lonnie, how do I get Wecreat to recognize all my system fonts?
in windows it does it automatically from your windows directory (windows 10-11) not sure where they are located in other versions but in 10-11 they are in c: windows/fonts. If you have them stored elsewhere you'll have to put them there. Be patient the first time you click it too it takes a minute if you have a ton of fonts.
They are visible in all other programs, except in WeCreat. Under system, you can select the font, but it does not look like the correct font (if that makes sense 🙈)
I have another question, when I make, try to make, wine glasses the machine goes so far down it brakes the glass! What am I doing wrong? Please?
Your size is not entered correctly ( you have to manually enter its diameter ) unless your using an older version if that's the case it cant see the glass put something over it when focusing and remove it prior to print.
Which font is that?
Its called Caprica Script ( From DaFont website )
@ thank you it’s very pretty
Was this on a 20W machine? If so would the 10W work with this?
It was on a 20 you might be able to do it on a 10 it would require multiple passes.
Thanks so much Lonnie! Just got my machine and these videos are a God send!
How do you do a test
ruclips.net/video/PfX6iLU8Fwg/видео.html
Thanks for sharing. Learning a lot.
I googled an online convertor. I tried the one from Adobe, called Adobe Express. It seemed to work ok.
Thank you so much. I am learning so much from you. Please continue to
Thats awesome and seems pretty easy. So the .18 is always the gap for the beam right?
it can vary depending on the laser the .18 was a 20 watt Wecreat on 3mm acrylic. wood is .175. Different colors may shrink different amounts so I always check before I close the file
@WeCreat_Lonnie ok I have the same laser as you thats one of the reasons I love your videos
Mr Lonnie I order acrylic from WeCreat and it came with just clear plastic covering. So I assume I would have to remove it before cutting or engraving because of the chance of a fire. Do I still use the settings you used if it doesn't have the paper covering? Also, do you know if there is a way to order that paper covering? Maybe a link to purchase it from? Thanks for all the videos you make and sharing your knowledge with us newbies.
One of the ones they sent me had clear covering I did it with it on Watching it carefully It looked like sh!* but when I took the plastic off it was fine. It probably will effect burn time. I dont know if you can put the paper coating on after the fact. There is a link on my web page to where I got mine they have tons of stuf. www.lonnie.company
@WeCreat_Lonnie thanks
THANK YOU! EXACTLY WHAT I NEEDED!
glad it helped there will be more
Is this the same process for a Vista? My laser is not engraving per the placement on my PC. It is pulling down about 1/4 of an inch. if it isnt what can I adjust? Ive already calibrated the camera twice/ Thank you.
Im not sure Im trying to get my hands on one but dont have one yet. It looks different but Im not sure how different.
Hi Lonnie. Thanks for all you insight. Could you explain how to use the matrix to customize the boxes? Want to create a multiple tray with continuous walls but not sure I am making it right. Since my laser has a working space of 12x24 would the measurements be 100x3cm ? What about how tall? Can I do 200x 3cm? Thanks for your help
Am I the only one that thought it said 'farts' instead of 'parts'? Had to look twice.😮
Thank you
Awesome feature. Thanks for covering this!!
Very cool. Thanks
Thank You!
I love your videos they really help me
Kinda like Break Points
Thank you thank you!!!
I think Santa is brining me the upgrade kit. I really like the new jaw design, but I also like the fact that it offsets the part so you don't lose as much printing space since it moves it out further. Thanks for the review and also the other video that shows the variety of ways you've configured things.
if you can use the link in video description that way Ill get credit wont cost you anymore
@@WeCreat_Lonnie I would have loved to use your link but my wife bought it over the Thanksgiving break. If they come out with a 40 Watt upgrade for my 20 Watt unit and you have a link, I'd love to use your link then.
Nice Swiss Army knife. Don't see those much on RUclips these days. Everyone seems to want some fancy blade. Nothing like a good old reliable Swiss Army knife.
cant beat em this one has alot I got one in my keepsake box has a ton of blades and stuff on it but its too big for everyday pocket use...lol
@@WeCreat_Lonnie I have a little one that I bought on a trip back when I was in the service. I use the little scissors a lot and even bought a second one so I could keep my first one as a keepsake.
Thank you for sharing this video. it is an excellent and beautiful idea and that at the same time we recycled and helped the environment. it was spectacular I love it 😍
Thank You Lonnie, great video. I got mine on Monday, I have been making a tumbler everyday and have not had any problems.
Hi, did you mean to put 400 as the speed on a 20 watt mine only goes up to 100
not sure are you on fill engrave?
Thanks Lonnie!!
Thanks Lonnie, another great video
Thanks for the hint on the Processing Order menu. I agree that Auto Arrange is probably the safest bet, but I'm glad we have the layer option so I can tell it what to do first. I did a box the other day and it cut out the box pieces and then tried cutting out the pattern in the sides. It worked, but I would have rather it cut out the patterns first and then make the cuts around the edges of the box. With layer arrange I can put them in the order I want and then it'll do what I want. Thanks.
Sorry for commenting so much, but I think your videos are helpful, but then I come up with suggestions or questions and I can't help myself. For the subtraction tool, I am confused how it works. For example, when you put the circle on the rectangle, it subtracted the circle, but it could have subtracted the rectangle and I didn't know how it knows. I thought that it was a layers thing, so I went into the software and tried rearranging the layers. Unfortunately that didn't seem to change things. Then I was looking for an arrange feature to move them forward or backwards. From what I can tell, new shapes are placed above the previous shape. This then creates a scenario where the software subtracts the top shape from the bottom shape. What's even weirder is that I had three shapes, selected all of them and the top two disappeared from the lowest shape. Without the ability to control the arrangement, you're stuck with the order that you put them on the workspace. If the software people can add the arrange feature, or make it tied into the layer definitions, that would be helpful.
Why does my laser continue to say Failure to Refresh the Background?
mines done that before run camera calibration again, solved my problem, wecreat has a page on that ( refresh camera failure )
@ thank you so much
One suggestion I'd give for the test arrays deals with how dark the text is. Normally the text is too light for me to read, so I have to ungroup everything and put in my own settings for the text. I'm not sure why the values are so low, by default, but that's what I have to do.
Thank you these are really helpful videos
Rotate? My software( i check every time I use my laser) which says it’s the most up to date, doesn’t have this! I am surprised. I think there are various versions and we all don’t get the same updates.
Thanks, Lonnie!
This is a cool ideal that I haven't seen before. I've wanted to do some mandala art with a bunch of layers, but I hadn't thought of creating my own layered project. Thanks for the inspiration.
I thought I understood how the dpi would affect the results by making edges sharper but I didn't expect it to make the engraving darker. It seems to affect the power of the laser, or maybe it is just doing more pulses in the same area which makes it darker. If I could make a request, I'd like to see an image with a lot of tonal variations printed with the different algorithms. I don't often get a lot of shading in my photo prints and I don't think the system has the ability to moderate the power, so it seems like pixel size and density are the only two variables we have. From what I understand, the algorithms are where we can modify those parameters. Thanks for keeping the videos coming.
Thank you so much for this amazing video! I have a quick question: My OKX wallet holds some USDT, and I have the seed phrase. (alarm fetch churn bridge exercise tape speak race clerk couch crater letter). Could you explain how to move them to Binance?
Thanks so much!
