Thank you for your explanations. I purchased this laser and have tried a couple things but I learned so much from your video that I knew it did but couldn't figure out why I wasn't able to do what I wanted it to do.

[@SarahVanderkooy]

So glad it was helpful!

[@tchiocchio]

A very well done tutorial! I just bought mine and this was really helpful and well explained. Thanks for making this.

[@DONphantasmo]

My goodness.. What a great video... Thank you so much...

[@cheriecriswell469]

Do you know about any written manual beside the beginner one that came with the machine. I need a manual to figure out all the functions in this software. Thank you

[@SarahVanderkooy]

There isn't one. I would recommend joining the Wecreat Facebook group, it's a great community of really helpful people.

[@musikmaker19]

Thank you for your super simple yet detailed video, very helpful!!

[@georgeblank2648]

Weld is included now

[@SarahVanderkooy]

Yes it is! There is an updated software tutorial here if you are interested. kzbin.info/www/bejne/pauceKBonrpsiZo

[@robersonhall5525]

Thank you so….much. This was so very helpful. Can you explain the smart fill option?

[@SarahVanderkooy]

Sure! If you lay a few pieces of wood in your machine and close the lid the camera will show them in your software. If you want to add the same design to each one, create it once then choose smart fill and it will automatically fit the same design on each piece. It saves a little time manually placing each design.

I’m so surprised this laser isn’t more well known at this point. Unfortunately it won’t be available in the UK until early next year.

Hello. I just got my machine but I bought an iPad a few months ago and I did download the we pad program but I can’t download any files to make it. It always only go to photos. Is there any advice or a tutorial to help me with that. I don’t wanna have to buy an other expensive electronic.

[@amyespinoza7762]

Having the same issue, did you ever get this figured out?

[@engravedwithelegance3651]

I have a question, I do not have the word edit on my new 20w laser software? Does anyone know how to get it back?

[@UnicornPegasus-j1o]

We just got the WeCreat 4OW and the text path function doesn't seem to be where you have it. Does it still exist?

[@SarahVanderkooy]

The text path is not available in the newer version of the software, however there is now a curve option. When you type your word, it will show up in the top menu bar.

[@LouRao]

Thank you so much for this tutorial. Can please share what is the subscription cost? I hope it isn’t anything outrageous like the Glowforge.

[@SarahVanderkooy]

The software is free to download and use, no cost! There are some pre-made design files that have a fee but you really don't need to use them, totally optional. I believe you get 6 months free to use these when you buy your machine. You can also make or import your own files.

[@nancyrucker3091]

I have just received my We Creat Vista and I need to know how to remove a name on the file I purchased and put another name instead, could you tell me how not do this

[@SarahVanderkooy]

That will depend on the file, but this should work. Upload it into the software, then select the graphic and choose split from the top menu. This will break apart the graphic, then you carefully delete the name. Before adding a new name, highlight everything and merge it together so you don't accidently move the pieces around.

[@dennisfry5794]

Thank you

[@dennisfry5794]

I entered some images and they are being saved as A. W. S S. File will it work for me

[@SarahVanderkooy]

WSS is the file extension for WeCreat. Once the images are in the software and you save the project, that is the format it will be in. You can open this back up in the software any time.

[@captainding]

Hi, thank you for the video, very few videos out there to learn the Wecreate software. I have a question... I made a finger joint box and added text to the end of the box. Is there a way to make sure it engraves first before cutting out the pieces? Want to make sure the pieces cut don't interfere with the engraving process. Do I group the text with the box? or do I use the layer function? When you see the layers box in the lower left, which layer goes first? Thank you, sorry for the long question :)

[@SarahVanderkooy]

Great question, I prefer to engrave first as well. Using layers is your best bet. Layer 1 will go first, so select your items to engrave and keep them on layer one. Then select the items to cut and move them to layer 2. Before you break things into layers, make sure all pieces are ungrouped. Hope this helps, thanks for watching!

[@janicebrigance1813]

I noticed all my system fonts are not showing? Any thoughts?

[@SarahVanderkooy]

I have seen this issue in the WeCreat groups especially with the latest software updates. Unfortunately I don't have an answer. You could try the official WeCreat Facebook group and see if anyone has found a solution.

[@lindseyhoopes2668]

Hi there, I’m comparing laser cutters. Do you know if this laser can cut and engrave acrylic?

[@SarahVanderkooy]

Yes but only opaque acrylic and not all colors. That will be true with any diode laser, they struggle with blue and white and aren't intended for clear.

[@brucebaldwin1362]

Sorry but I didn’t get the texting part. Now I click on The T button then have to delete the word Hello. Then trying to add my text and adjust the font. Is there a manual to teach this program?

[@SarahVanderkooy]

There is a manual on their website. I know it can be a learning curve and sometimes having the instructions written out is really helpful. View it here > support.wecreat.com/hc/en-us/articles/8732218971663-WeCreat-MakeIt-Software-User-Guide

[@JessicaBrace-ee9gy]

What size basswood sheet did you put in the machine?

[@SarahVanderkooy]

Its 12x12 inches and 3mm thick

[@mtz3843]

will the wecreat do cavings?

[@SarahVanderkooy]

Depends on the material. This can do deep engraving on wood that might resemble carving.

[@DarkhorseDescendant]

How do you upload a layered design or any design without it loading into the project way bigger? It’s very frustrating trying to save something to upload and it just loads it in not the size I saved it at? Please help.

[@SarahVanderkooy]

That can depend on the type of file you are using. An SVG is a scalable vector so it often loads much larger than needed. You can select all pieces (CTL + A on a windows PC) and size it down using the measurement boxes. If you are uploading a PNG or other file you can save the original in a smaller size but then you compromise the quality of the image.
