Congrats on the new book! ❤❤❤❤❤

[@HeyLetsMakeStuff]

Thank you so much 😀

[@ckindle760]

I love your videos! Thank you so much. I got the xtool screen print last month but have been a little hesitant to use. Now i feel like I got this thanks to you :)

[@HeyLetsMakeStuff]

Glad I could help!

[@smellypoopman]

So I guess the one downfall of the laser cut screens is you can't reuse the screen for a different design? When using emulsion you can clean it and make new design.

[@HeyLetsMakeStuff]

Yes, that's a big downside! I'm so new to screen printing that I didn't realize how you make new screens. I do think there have been some videos on using emulsion when these screens, though-you may want to look for those :)

[@jaggedoriginals]

Do you think i can use my Wecreat laser with this? I would love one of these!

[@HeyLetsMakeStuff]

I don't think so! It's specifically designed to work with the xTool Software so I'm not sure how it would be possible to use it with the WeCreat.

[@ckindle760]

Would it be possible to add to a transfer film to heat press at a later time?

[@HeyLetsMakeStuff]

Hmm..I'm not sure I understand what you're asking. Can you explain in a bit more detail for me?

[@Carrotious]

Maybe you could help me with the dimensions of the frame... on the website it only references 11.5x16in but I dont know if that is internal or external. My laser machine fits a max of 330mm wide. Would the frame fit? Thanks G

[@HeyLetsMakeStuff]

Whicn laser machine do you have?
