This has to be one of the most helpful videos on the Aura. Extremely helpful

[@heyrachele]

Thank you, this means so much! Happy Holidays!

[@chandiwalsh]

I would love to see cut settings for different types of woods as well as acrylics

[@sirenofsound]

Thank you for showing the whole process! This is an awesome video. 💚🧜‍♀️💜

[@nataliyacher6826]

Amazing video! So down to earth. I love that I know I can use any material as I don’t want to buy a company ‘s very expensive material($22 per sheet). Thank you so much

[@heyrachele]

You are so welcome!! Thank you for your kind words! ❤️

[@kimberleyriexinger3660]

That was very informative, thank you. I just set up my Aura today and this is exactly what I needed.

[@heyrachele]

Thank you, I’m glad! Good luck! ❤️✨

[@brendaakamscraftprincess6462]

Thank you for sharing your settings.

[@maleahtei]

Best video and very informative! I've been searching forever and finally find you! :) Thank you!! What is the font you use for "grandma's kitchen' please

[@heyrachele]

Thank you, this means so much! 🤗 Here’s the font I used: creativemarket.com/ThePaperTown/2467664-Marshmallow-Handwritten-Font

[@maleahtei]

@@heyrachele thank you for the quick response 🙏🏽🩷

[@susanmacneil4112]

Can you make suede tags for hand knit items with the Aura?

[@brendabates8192]

What are the settings you used to engrave a photo onto bamboo lid

[@Dksydnor]

Can you help with a bamboo lid for the glass soda cups? What settings?

[@heyrachele]

Hi there! Does the bamboo lid come off? If so, the engrave settings for bamboo (speed 60, power 5, lines per in. 160) should work the same. Just make sure to get the thickness and input as an uncertified material.

[@legzn2423]

I folllwed your guidance for a bamboo spoon, adjusting the size and it didn’t even engrave it? I don’t want to break the machine

[@heyrachele]

Hi there! Apologies for the late response - have you measured the thickness of your spoon? Sometimes it doesn't engrave at all if the spoon is too far away from the laser due to the measurement inputted. Feel free to send over any screenshots to my email [e-mail] and I'd love to help you!

[@maggievillanueva8269]

I’m try to cut a file in the aurora but is coming out dark really dark how can I change that

[@heyrachele]

Hi there! You can adjust the settings (power and speed) ever so slightly so that the engrave doesn't come out too dark or deep. Feel free to send over any screenshots to my email [e-mail] and I'd love to help you!

[@donnamae8987]

I was wondering how thick can I do a keychain? i would like to use a photo of my husband and I sticker paper and apply that to wood or acrylic? Thank you.

[@heyrachele]

oooh this sounds fun! Will look into this! ❤️

[@porcheh9853]

What type of microphone is that?

[@legzn2423]

How did you know what setting in manual to choose? Just trial and error?

[@heyrachele]

Hi!! Yes, definitely trial and error. I also have the Glowforge Pro, so I took the settings from there and it kinda helped guide me for the settings for the Aura. Hope this helps! Workin’ on more settings for ya!
