How to Cut a 16 inch Door Round in a 12 inch Laser Bed! Puzzle Piece Large Objects

[@JimmyLee0757]

AWW MAN. I thought I had a brilliant idea but as usual I'm late to the party🤣😂. I have a 24 inch piece to make on my Longer 10 watt, with a 16 inch bed. I decided to cut the piece into 4 parts and make a puzzle out it. I see you are WAY ahead of me. I tried using print and cut and made one 24 inch piece out of cardboard but I every time I tried make it with 1/4 plywood it would do some crazy stuff. Thanks for the cool and energetic videos.

You guys make this look so simple. Love all your work. I am loving putting the wreaths together. Thank you again.

[@Secretlaserman]

Great idea! You guys rock!

I thought I didn't have to see this video... but now I know I can refer people back to this video - YAY

[@RobbinsDesigns]

Idk if I can do all that lol thanks for the video!!!

[@IIIofV]

Love that idea! I've seen other videos that use bullseye marks to align each part of the engraving. You think out of the box - great!

[@joyweber4659]

I want to try this in my M1. Love the hanger.

[@KimandGarrettmakeit]

SEE! I told you... I had a solution for you! Let us know if it works on the M1! Thanks Joy! ~garrett

So glad to see this as an option but also ultimately glad I cancelled my polar order and went with the 60w 20x28.

[@wileycovington4497]

Thank you!! I thought about doing it this way, but had no idea how to go about it.

[@debbiebarger7311]

beautiful

[@shawnababiak6692]

love your designs I have bought a few but have to down size them to fit on my P2. would you make a video how to make the puzzle piece in xcs? I am very new to my laser.

[@rachelcraft5355]

Cool love that ideas you guys are GREAT 👍

[@KimandGarrettmakeit]

Thanks so much!

[@jessicarichardson3490]

Love the colors

[@gham423]

I need to make large rounds on my Xtool. Can you help with doing this on XCS.😊

[@lightspeedlaserengraving6048]

I have the polar and for the life of me I can’t find how to raise and lower the lens to a proper focal distance. Please help. Also, where did you get the little acrylic piece you used to determine the proper focal height?

[@KimandGarrettmakeit]

Hey LightSpeed Laser! Pewpew! In LightBurn, on the Right side where the Cut Layers are, there is a tab that says Move, in the tab you can move the Z Axis. The little triangle came in my little clear "tool box", but I lost it already (its clear LOL) SO I just cut another acute triangle out of the sample of baltic birch. Hope this helps! ~garrett

[@jamalgibson5867]

After you found your new focal height of 10mm..are you then taking that number and subtracting it from the material thickness or is the number you measure your focal height?

[@WooderBoyProductions]

Could you edit the svg file and drag it to make it smaller to fit your work area?

[@HeavenLeeMadeOnEtsy]

but how would you resize it for the glowforge? doing it on silhouette

[@DandLMakersofMaine]

Hey Guys i have 400x400 bed laser and cant do the 2 part 16 inch door hangers. Can you do a video on using puzzle style in 4 pieces? please

[@melissawallace1573]

When doing the ramp, do you take the lens all the way up?

[@KimandGarrettmakeit]

Yes, the lens should be all the way up. Then start your cut at the bottom and almost meet the board at the top. Hope this helped! ~garrett

[@darrenc3036]

What type of round wood do you have?

[@KimandGarrettmakeit]

We use cabinet grade MDF.

[@lisaweaver3124]

Can I buy the file from you for the triangle?

[@kathystanley9996]

Love it!

[@lightspeedlaserengraving6048]

How do you raise and lower the lens on a axis?

[@KimandGarrettmakeit]

Inside Lightburn, on the right hand side where Cuts/Layers TAB is located. Click the TAB Move and this will give you controls that allow you to move your laser head on X, Y and Z axis. Does this help? Thanks LightSpeed! ~garrett

[@lightspeedlaserengraving6048]

I’ll try that. Thanks.

[@cherylwalker7123]

Great video. Super cute hanger. What glue are you using to glue the pieces on and do you have a link to the bottles you have your paint in?

[@kathystanley9996]

they use Starbond Thick. It can be found on thier website. Awesome glue!

[@builderbae4631]

Did you make that test card

[@Ticktockbbk]

What is the work area for OMTech Polar 350 desktop?

[@mojo2613]

Interesting! Now I want that laser! Lol

[@Ydjjj]

Does the Omtech Polar have a pass through?

[@wcs39204]

Yep!

[@janetteders1731]

Ah you guys are so cute together

[@Woppaho]

What brand of paint did you use?

[@jenfri7386]

Could you recreated this video using an xtool m1 if you have it? I am new using my laser and am having trouble making the round door signs.

[@scotthamel7928]

Need that file asap

[@monicahaynes8033]

I think I’d rather just buy the rounds already cut.
