Make $1000s a Month with these Laser Cut Designs!

[@Chaos_God_of_Fate]

Another way to avoid burn marks is to tape off the surface with painter's tape before the burn or if you do a lot of stuff or anything large, get a cold lamnator (just a roller really), they're fairly cheap- that's the best way I've found to totally eliminate burns. Love this stuff- nice vid!

[@LuisCasstle]

or buy masking tape designed for that purpose.

[@boruchlen]

Great video as usual. One thing if I may. in your estimate of time, 2 things that aren't being taken into account. 1. designing and getting the file ready for engraving. And 2. While items are being engraved, you can use that time to be designing other things and earning more money. Whether it is files to be sold or files to be used.

[@roofoofighter]

Only if you can multitask, not recommended to leave a laser running unattended.

[@boruchlen]

I hear that for sure!

I just bought a laser cutter/engraver. Watching makers channels for ideas it's kind of interesting how many laser folks makers logo have the circular saw blade feature as part of their logo

Maybe because they are primarily woodworkers that happened to get a laser. 🤦‍♂

How to make money with a laser cutter? Sell the design files. Craft fairs are saturated with laser engraving and cut stuff where I live.

[@grywolf99]

Not so much at the fairs and festivals I've attended.

[@johndavis3894]

That's where perfectionism comes in handy. It can be debilitating, but other times it's an asset. The best people at their trade make whatever it is look high quality. The best quality laser cut products don't look like laser cut projects.

Love your video. When mass producing how do you decide which dog breed is going to sell and dog name? Thank you.

[@BuildDadBuild]

Mass production I would start by making to order, you’ll quickly discover which breeds are more popular. Then you can start cutting those ahead of time. As far as names, I would create a jog that held the finished piece in place and use that to personalize.

@@BuildDadBuild do you know how long it would take to cut this with the 40w s1? Only four an hour on a 20w sounds terrible. I am new to lasers and getting mine on the 8th. I don't have a reference for knowing if twice the power yields half the time (so I would get 8 an hour on the 40w?). I got all the bells and whistles and thinking maybe I should have just gone up to professional level even though I've never used one before but that seems folly until you know if you're going to be able to do well in this market locally.

So these designs you sell. Will we receive a license to use them to present to Etsy or anyone else who files a claim against us? I’m more than happy to pay for designs. These are great. Just wanting to have assurance the designs can be marketed online and are licensed so even KZbin can’t say I’m using something without permission as I upload files to advertise my stuff on there for the website. Thanks.

[@BuildDadBuild]

Sure thing

[@iamtherealevil]

Couple of points you are missing. 1) Fonts being used for commercial products need to be licensed for such use. That also goes for designs found on the interwebs. 2) Your $2178 is for producing hundreds and hundreds of cut products. Which is a lot of hydro, time, materials, and mainly a lot of wear and tear on your machine. For $2178 a month. You sure spin it good though.

[@drewmihelich3232]

The F1 will do these. Just be aware that the edges will not be perpendicular to the face because the laser fires from the center ( laser fires: /\ ; versus gantry style: || ). The angle will be slight and flipping the back piece will make them look more intentionally rounded. I hope that helps.

Wow dude. Negative much? I’ve seen lasered items go for several thousand dollars. You are just wrong. 👍🏻👍🏻

[@TboneLoyal]

The same could be said for every business. Restaurant, artist, carpenter, etc. When my teacher used to say it’s already been done. My reply was. Yes but it’s not been done by me. The difference is you. My dad preached the same message and he never accomplished anything. I have failed over and over in my life. But I keep getting up and moving forward. But my kids will always win because I have taught them they can do anything if they are willing to work hard at it. The difference in one person making it and another not is the idea of how badly they want it to work and willing to work. Hope you find that peace in your life. Don’t listen to those who told you it wouldn’t work. You havnt tried it. It hasn’t been done by you. Keep on trucking.
