The Wecreat Vision is definitely my recommendation for a first laser.

I enjoy all your videos and appreciate all your work Brother. I love your ideas. I bought a couple of items from your list. Will be getting a few other things in another week. Thanks again.

Thank You Steve for this idee, especially the Dollar Tree $5 cutting boards. Instead of the baking measurements. I used frilly lines, and their last name. The ladies Love it.

Thanks for another great video Steve. Would you possibly do a video showing how to export a LightBurn project and import it into the software provided by WeCreat? I understand it is possible to do that, but not work directly in LightBurn. Any inside scoop on whether native LB support is coming? Thanks again.

Hi Thomas. I can do that. It’s not too hard

I use Davinci Resolve. You should join our weekly ShopTalk livestream - you can ask these sorts of questions to 4 different KZreadrs. One of these days I'll get around to creating a KZread studio setup video🤔

I cant wait to start making some money with laser.

Nice assortment of starter projects to get you talking to folks! How’s the fume extractor on acrylic? I don’t think you had tested that on the previous video.

You didn't stick around to the end of the video where I covered the fume extractor in a bit more detail 😈. At any rate it seems to work pretty well on acrylic. This wasn't a huge job, but I didn't get a whiff of plastic as I was doing this.

Welcome to the black hole for time and money 😉 … but lots of fun too!

Good video and three good items. I bought a bamboo cutting board from the DollarTree and put a conversion table on it to give to my wife. She liked the idea but she didn't like the smell. I'll either have to switch to a non-bamboo board or see if there is a way to eliminate the smell. Any comments or suggestions are welcome here.

@kevinrvanputten

I use bamboo quite often, I let the bamboo air for a long time. Most of the time, the smell will mostly dissappear in a few days to max about a week. I do this before I put finish on them of course.

@SteveMakesEverything

Per Kevin’s comment air them out. The ones I use don’t seem to have any smell though, so maybe it’s just the brand. Note that there is no special requirement to use bamboo. Use whatever wooden boards you can find that will ensure you make money.

What is the price point you use for the cutting boards and dog tags

@SteveMakesEverything

5 ай бұрын

Are you asking about the selling price or the material price? The selling price would vary wildly depending of you country, currency and general market conditions

I am really considering the WeCreat. I have never seen the digital test grid allowing you to visually choose settings. How accurate is it to a test grid?

@SteveMakesEverything

I find the built-in test grids are bang on for the materials they list. You can of course do your own material tests if you need to, but the built-ins are a real timesaver

Which setting for the dog tag please? I tried to engrave an aluminum box but it didn't engrave. I'm sure my settings are wrong 😂 Thank you

I just picked this setting from the MakeIt material list I believe. Regardless you can probably go with something like 90% power and 400mm/min. That would certainly trigger some engraving.

Absolutely. I used my own designs for all of the projects here. You can drag an image or SVG file from your computer into Wecreat MakeIt and it should render. You will have to resize it and position it manually through.
