Thank you for your videos! Yours are the only videos I could find for the Aura that actually showed how to do anything other than the very basics! ❤

I would love this but I need one to engrave on tumblers. What laser do you recommend for engraving tumblers?

Maybe try the Hey Let’s Make Stuff KZbin channel. Or google Xtool M1 or F1. I don’t have those but that should get you some info.

Do you need to put transfer paper on your wood to get a better engraving? I’ve seem some people do that.

It just prevents burn marks on the edges. You can add transfer tape or you can clean off when done.

Thanks so much for the great videos!! I have a question.... In your original unboxing starting aura, you mentioned the glow forge products your cut engrave have a mask on it and i thought you said if you didnt have proofgrade you should mask? None of these were, is there certain things that need be be masked? I wanted to try to get the balsa wood from home depos since its so much less, but concered about the "masking"

Definitely if you are cutting I would mask. You don't have to generally for engraving but again you can if you would like. I just cleaned these after I engraved.

Hi Angie! So it's okay to print on say the cutting board with out the masking on it? Also, once it's engraved is it safe to assume it's no longer food/washing safe you think, but more decorative at that point?

The way I did the cutting board, I would not use it again as food would get in all of those grooves. If you put something on the edge of the cutting board, I would still use the middle. And yes you can do things like this without a masking! I did clean it up a bit as there was some brown around the edges.

Please help me! Can I engrave on my new Glowforge aura with clear acrylic? what is the sign on icon, and format?

@AngieHolden Жыл бұрын

The Aura will not do clear acrylic.

@nathanmackenzie17 10 ай бұрын

what happens if the image is square and the object is round and the images goes off the object?

@AngieHolden 10 ай бұрын

It could cut into the grid or the bottom of the laser.

Hi Ms. Angie, I received a reply from you stating that the aura does not engrave clear acrylic, I tried the proofgrade material made especially for aura and still can't get it to engrave.

@AngieHolden 11 ай бұрын

Clear will NOT work with the Aura. The proofgrade material should only say Aura on it for the version that is not clear.

When purchasing say wood from Hobby Lobby, Micheal’s, JoAnn’s etc., how do we know what’s laser ready or not? When ordering on amazon, it usually states if it is or not. 😊

I would get unfinished wood or something that has a natural finish (like cutting boards that are food safe).
