Thanks so much, the cube pricing is a good idea

[@paigebarbee]

@@ValerieWhittington thank you!! I’ve even had customers compliment them. Lol.

Great Video. Been doing Laser Crafting for about 2 1/2 years. Just got our F1 this week. Still working on designs as we will be taking it to our weekly market soon. Thanks for all the ideas.

[@paigebarbee]

Thanks so much! It's my first laser but I've had tons of fun with it!

[@andigonecreative]

I got to say engraving the boxes and blocks for pricing is fabulously brilliant!

[@paigebarbee]

Thanks so much! I’m having fun finding new things to engrave!

[@cb5487]

Great video,did you know when batch processing the same box, you just double tap the start button on the side instead of having to use your lap top or pc to start saves tons of time

[@paigebarbee]

I did not! Thanks for the tip!!

[@HeavenLeeMadeOnEtsy]

What a great video. Thank you for sharing.

[@paigebarbee]

Thank you so much!

[@becomingdryork2919]

Great video! Can you please share your settings for engraving your box tops? Thanks in advance

[@paigebarbee]

Thanks! I used 100 power/420 Dot/270 DPI.

[@alejandraromero285]

Súper cool. Can you please share your settings for engraving in Silver please.? O dont like dark engraving and yours is lighter

[@paigebarbee]

I’ve had a few requests to share. I’ll try to do a video on it next!

[@cristinaleone1689]

Hello! Love the video, do you don't use the tube or the air purifier ? I want to take my machine to my events but I don't have the air purifier. Thanks

[@paigebarbee]

I don't have the air purifier either (would definitely recommend it if someone hasn't ordered yet!). I was just engraving charms so I felt okay doing it without the purifier but wouldn't have done it with other materials that have fumes.

[@ejewelrycoejewelryco3708]

There is no filter on it. Can you smell the fumes? I want to buy one but I am curious about the fumes.

[@paigebarbee]

@@ejewelrycoejewelryco3708 not with the jewelry but you can with other items like wood. For proper ventilation you can either filter fumes outside (it comes with an exhaust pipe) or get the air purifier. I just got the purifier and will report back on it!

[@asuprofesora]

Can you give some info about the “build your own necklace” station?

[@paigebarbee]

Sure! I have chains in different lengths and charms with different designs so the customer can select their chain and add as many charms as they'd like to create their necklace. At events, I also offer custom engraving on the charms.

[@maxinealvarado6645]

Can you please do a video on how the saved your logo and setting you used on Xtool Creative Space? I need to know how to do the settings in XCS. Thanks

[@paigebarbee]

I uploaded my logo into Canva and saved it as a transparent png. If you pause this video at 2:43 you can see the settings I used on the boxes. Hope it helps!
