I've never thought about scoring so I'll know the correct placement of the word. That's smart.

[@melanatedluxe]

My GlowForge was delivered two days ago! I took the plunge because of you. I just have to get my workspace together in my garage.

[@mmagg1017]

Great job Troy, I enjoy watching you create. Did you know that you can use the weld tool to get rid of all that over lap on the letters. Just use your shift key and pick each outside lines of the letters. Then go to the top tool bars and select weld. It should weld all the letters together. Don’t use your pick tool and select all or you inner lines (like in the e, a, f and l will disappear.

[@TroytheMaker]

Thanks for the tip! I’ve been using coreldraw for a while and I still learn new ways to use it. I appreciate it.

[@jenn_jenn_223]

I love this project! I'm too late to get the PDF files, but that's OK. Thank you for the wonderful ideas. Your videos are very inspirational!

[@jasminev.martinez4826]

Thank you Troy 👏🏽 another amazing video.

[@grich__]

Buy some 3m double-sided adhesive tape. You don't have to glue it, and the process is easier and faster.

[@TroytheMaker]

Thanks for the tip! Them solvent drops sometimes be deadly.

[@CeoFrann]

Beautiful project by the way!

[@TroytheMaker]

Thanks a Million!

[@davidb.2355]

Thank you so much Troy! That looks great! Acrylic is my favorite to work with! Great job..

[@TroytheMaker]

You’re welcome! I appreciate it more than you think.

[@AcryliWoodDesigns]

I am making name plates. 2 pieces of 3 mm acrylic. I have 2 rows of text. One for the name and the second row for the title. When I use the contour, it is not catching all of the bottom row. What should I do?

[@CeoFrann]

Yesss!! I don’t have a glow forge but I really want one and you’re making me want one even more!

[@TroytheMaker]

You’ll love it!

[@Anoxtech]

[@tiffanycarr6080]

So ive finally got the space and after a year im to get my glowforge out and making things. Im just wondering do i need to get coreldraw 2021? I cant figure out how to do that with just glowforge. I know this is a long shot and hope to make it!! So i hope you see this and maybe give me some tips. Thanks so much and you make wonderful things, and i just want to as well!!! Thanks

[@TroytheMaker]

I would suggest try Glowforge’s Print which has a cheaper monthly subscription than the cost for coreldraw. Glowforge Print is very beginner friendly in my opinion.

[@tiffanycarr6080]

@@TroytheMaker oh awesome thank you for replying back to me i appreciate it so much and yes i will try that first. Cheaper is better!! Again thank you and i think you made the jewelry box for monthly thing for glowforge its amazing 👏

[@dennisreichert7688]

Hey truy what version of coreldraw do you use?

[@TroytheMaker]

I use the yearly subscription version.

[@barbarahenry8400]

Hello im a newbie...i am looking to create custom acrylic stirrers and Personalized menus..can you do a video showing us how to do that please

[@TroytheMaker]

Sorry I do not. I will write them down and plan for them.

[@jackie.123]

This is really nice how can I order a custom one foe me?

[@AcryliWoodDesigns]

my hairline outline tool disappeared!!

[@Shariff06]

Beautiful tutorial, If I may ask, what is the difference between the Weld On 3 & 4 ?

[@TroytheMaker]

To be honest. I don’t know. When I first learned what it do I was told to that 3 was most commonly used.

[@Zzjune17emzZ]

What programs are you using to edit?

[@egypthenry2435]

Photoshop

[@2poundsahblessn]

Did you use acrylic for the word and the shape of the letters? 2 different acrylics?

[@TroytheMaker]

Yes

[@GnarlsDoesStuff]

Hi! I convert to curves and then add the 10 steps with outside contour, and it doesn’t fill it how yours does. For me, it just thickens the outside border, like makes it “bold.” Do you have any advice on this or have an idea of what I’m doing wrong? Thank you SO much!

[@TroytheMaker]

Hey. After the 10 step contour change to a bitmap them quick trace. Add a hairline. Hope that helps.

[@Craftbyildi]

I like to use double M3 tape , more easy

[@TroytheMaker]

I’ve been using double sided tape lately and it is easier.

[@aloismusiiwa3042]

whats the name of your laser

[@ZakFitTV]

Are you using the basic or pro model ?

[@TroytheMaker]

I have the basic model.

[@oa2designstudio966]

Where did you get the acrylic?

[@TroytheMaker]

shop.glowforge.com and locally from a plastic supply store

[@axsayt]

Does GlowForge software work on Mac?

[@TroytheMaker]

Yes

[@fredrikarodgers5636]

Do you take orders

[@TroytheMaker]

Yes. Email me at [e-mail]

[@twilliams7487]

I can’t figure Corel at all

[@TroytheMaker]

It’s not the easiest. It took me a year to design some useable designs when I first started using it and I taught myself.

[@lynnreynolds905]

If your machine is having problems, you can never get any customer support. No matter what you try. Email leaving messages or even on social media. They just do not respond no matter if you need support for your machine or an order. They just do not respond.

[@TroytheMaker]

I’ve never had a problem when I need help through an email.

[@lynnreynolds905]

@@TroytheMaker They finally responded today. My carriage went sideways yesterday. I tightened the belt. We are going to buy some spare belting to have on hand for when it breaks.
