Remember to experiment with speed and power! You can get from black to white and a few shades in between on paper!

Thank you for this lesson. I really like all your lessons. I am new to laser work and am using a diode laser. I will be making a custom card for my little brothers (70) birthday with an old pic of us as kids.

Great video as always. The video length is never an issue with me when the content is top notch. I am going to add our return address on the envelope and when I fold it I will fold it towards the back so the address is on the front. Also something I do with paper and gluing is to put the folded/glued side on parchment paper and put a book on top. Do something else and in a minute or so it's good.

Cover the area of honeycomb outside the card stock with more paper and the partial pressure created by your exhaust fan will hold the card stock down.

Unfortunately for me, my honeycomb is indifferent to magnets. I did make some clips from paper clips and they work well enough. I did not miss you placing magnets to hold the card stock down.

Awesome video I watched the entire video but I didn't see your special message on the bottom of the screen.

Thanks for the video! My question is how did you get that color from the green card stock without it being blackened by the laser?

@TheLouisianaHobbyGuy

8 ай бұрын

Like I said in the video, experiment with power and speed to get different colors. This one was done at a very low power and very high speed, so all it did was remove the die from the paper.

At 32 mins, you show us and say "cutting the perforation square" (rectangle). Lightbulb moment! So rather than build that rectangle with four separate lines, and node editing the rest of the envelope, weld the envelope front, back, and flaps first. Now create the green rectangle at the four inside corners, then increase green rectangle ht/wt dimensions.

Turn the envelope "inside out", and make your folds the other way, and the tears will be on the inside with a perfect outside surface.
