    To save time on your engraving, put each logo in a separate layers for the engraving part. You then engrave each logo complete before moving on to the next. This saves time cause your laser doesn't travel between logos all the time i.e. white space. Then put your cutting all in one layer to be done last.

    If you miss a cut but don't move the material you can cut it again. I have a similar laser and run into this all the time with new material. Just cut the outside in another pass or two to save the part.

Anyway, loved the video, I was considering a Monport C02 (on an Xtool d1 diode now) and I think you sold me. The only issue I have is the model you have (in my price range) is sold out.

    When I did my keychains, I made a jig with the laser, which would work great for applying the resolene in batches and keep them from moving. Super easy to make with a scrap piece of 1/8 ply.

    Hit the escape button twice and the laser head will return to its last origin. I train new laser owners all over the world virtually. I would sell them for a minimum of $5.50 each wholesale. Their markup is no concern of mine. $65 - $85 for setup, and a design fee. Potentially bringing your total to $340

    Could you have gotten a faster cut and/or higher yield by butting up the adjacent edges in the nesting?

    • @SpicerDesignsLLC
      @SpicerDesignsLLC  Год назад +5

      Good question. I wouldnt say you couldnt do that but i wouldnt. It would have to make a full pass all the way around as the design shows. Could tighten them up a little bit more though.

    • @JCWren
      @JCWren Год назад +4

      I thought perhaps Lightburn could optimize the cutting path when it realizes two edges touch. I'm guessing LB is more like the Crossfire software than the slicer software for a 3D printer, which can do a whole lot of magic.

      @kingdomtouchesbyajayrichrn6077 Год назад +4

      Lightburn can do it by getting rid of overlapping lines in the optimizing settings in the software. You also can do it in designing the keychains to overlap on the edges and weld them. I’d do a row and then do the array tool.

    1- $6.99 - 2-for $11.98
    So they just said hey let’s cut out the nice middle man who wanted $2.50 apiece to make them and go have them made by someone else, a much bigger company which will charge them a $1.00 apiece or less and they profit $6.00 or more depending on the cost they can get them made for , you know and I know they could get them made over in China for prob .25 cents just sayin. And thrs nothing you could do about it, you don’t have a patent, or whatever that it’s your design or your idea I’m just saying not trying to burst your bubble but I seen things like this all the time as a lawyer for small businesses that I represented against the big boys who think they can do whatever they want to a small company cause they know you ain’t gonna have the resources to do anything if say they went and took this idea and ran with it so just think about it next time just make say 500 of them go to his concert and have your wife and a couple of her friends selling them in the parking lot for $5.00 and $5 you say yes because drunk people usually will reach in thr pocket and pull out whatever money they have $5. $10. $20. Ya never wanna give change back its such a hassle they pull out a $5 ok now it’s when they pull out a$10.
    A $20 they will say ya give me 2. Or 4 perfect. Now your profit is Cost to make is say $200 total to make and you selling the 500 pieces at $5 $2500-$200=$2300
