Thanks, the XCS software has built in parameters for acrylic cutting and its in mm, so you can convert 1/8 to mm and use that setting.

I found the wood making patches very unique- the one you mentioned on amazon what thickness, there are several and how well does it adhere to hats or fabric, longevity wise/ I would love to try please guide me in the right direction newbie here so I dont want to break the bank yet on this project.
@LaserEngraving911Ай бұрын
sure thing, this is the product I like to use all the time amzn.to/4cVfZb4 it about 1/32 thick, and with a hat press or heat press you can mount it to hats or fabric. If mounted correctly it will hold for years. Keep in mind it is wood after all so washing is not recommended.

Such a great video, thanks so much. BUT: I also have affinity (all 3 apps), but coming from Corel, I really struggle with it. *Especially* regarding tasks for laser jobs. For example I just can’t figure out how to trace images. At all. You say it doesn’t have „live trace“ - not sure what the difference to a normal „trace“ is, but I find ZERO Option for tracing in affinity. Or how to generate an outline - not around text (that option exists) but around a group of objects (say: I have an SVG consisting of multiple objects and I want an outline of 3mm around all of them.) So I’m a bit sad that you first walk through the complete AI/midjourney workflow, but explain it in Photoshop/illustrator and THEN recommend affinity but NOT explain the very thing there. Please do such a video, it would be SO super helpful! Thanks!
@LaserEngraving9113 ай бұрын
Thanks for taking the time to comment, I feel your pain! Affinity does NOT do live trace or anything like it, but if you use lightburn you can do it there in that software. Affinity is working on live trace, lets hope they add it soon!
@j.49413 ай бұрын
@@LaserEngraving911 thanks for taking the time to answer me :) After not finding any such feature in affinity I searched for online tools or small dedicated software but found nothing that wouldn’t have a high price tag for just this one function. So I did indeed resort to lightburn for tracing. And I must say it works really great. But it’s extra complexity in my workflow since it requires me to go back and forth between programs. Let’s hope affinity adds this soon. Thanks again!!

Well there's no competition or hesitation about who I am excited to see live but you of course I wouldn't have been invested in lasers if I didn't accidentally come across your channel 1st was the laser pecker 2 and just recently the wecreat and now you have me drooling over the new xtool portable laser since I live in Southern California with year round events I don't think the laser pecker 2 would be sufficient to justify the cost that it takes to set up from gas to parking and space rental plus being disabled in a wheelchair it's not easy to process as quickly as I want to but I don't think I'm going to be able to afford anything for awhile so I'm wondering if they are doing give aways at the event
