Yes that would work

You can use one of the other methods.

Thank you, I'm so glad to hear that!

I cannot find a setting to turn that on or off. Make sure the laser is over your tumbler, then it should show in the working area. You can also make sure your software and firmware are up to date.

After the inline fan, think of this as the final place that you vent out to. It's where all the smoke will be collected.

@SarahVanderkooy so I need both?

A couple things to try. Most file packages from Creative Fabrica are zipped, it will show a folder with a zipper on it. Open that folder and extract the files. Then you will see everything you downloaded. Make sure the file you want to use is an SVG for cutting or engraving. If you download a font you need to install that to your computer first, then it will show up in XCS.

My stored downloads are for Cricut so they are svg. And I have extracted all zip files

WSS is the file extension for WeCreat. Once the images are in the software and you save the project, that is the format it will be in. You can open this back up in the software any time.

I wouldn't let the foil touch the mat, it will stick and not come off. But you can absolutely go over the design you just made with your Cricut.

I received my model very early, now if you order the honeycomb, they no longer send the prisms. To be honest, I use my honeycomb for almost every job.

So glad to hear that, thanks for listening!

The wood is thin, I make sure the hole for the earring attachment is far enough away from the edge and that the earring shape is thick enough to avoid breaking. If it does break, I try to alter the design before using glue.

@ thank you

You can shake the silicone mat a little to remove bubbles, or place a lighter close to the wet resin to pop any bubbles that rise to the top before curing.

@ thank you, in going to try in the next few days - thank you for your help

No, it will engrave all metals on it's own!

Impress Art sells the enamel in marker form so it's really easy to use. shrsl.com/4t7p6

1.5mm basswood

@@SarahVanderkooy thank u Sarah, I'm interested mostly in cutting the cardboard, and read on Cricut website that upper overall limit is 2,4mm. The 1.5mm basswod information is much appreciated.

Glad you found this helpful! Most printers that use rolls of film need to be cut from the roll still in the machine after they are printed. If you need to cut them down to your oven size just do it carefully so you don't disturb the wet ink. Then you can cure in smaller sizes. Printing often is helpful to keep the ink moving with any kind of printer. I would recommend looking at the maintenance schedule for the brand of printer you get. They will typically recommend a daily/weekly/monthly cleaning routine. Some even have auto clean, just leave the printer on and it takes care of itself! If you follow these instructions you should be fine not printing every day.

For reference a 24" x 328' is about $185 The price will vary based on the size of your printer and the type of film.

That particular stencil is no longer available, I linked a similar one in the description. Or look for reusable adhesive stencils.

I would start with the standard XCS settings for your 20W machine. That is what I started with for my 40W and they turned out to be ideal.

This is made with galvanized steel so it's built to last, I've only had mine for a year and so far it looks great. No fading or rusting. Over time, this can rust but that should be many years down the road.

Yes, you would need to do that.

There is a card mat for the larger machines, I cover it in this video. It will work great with your Explore. kzbin.info/www/bejne/qZbChIp9aaaZrrs

Yes you can use the wood blocks, I use those with my original M1 and the RA2 Pro.

For the cards sized 4.25" x 5.5" the inserts are 4" x 5.25"

Wonderful ty
