    Thank you for your videos! Yours are the only videos I could find for the Aura that actually showed how to do anything other than the very basics! ❤

    That's pretty cool! I especially like the slate coaster. It came out really great!

    Thanks so much for the great videos!! I have a question.... In your original unboxing starting aura, you mentioned the glow forge products your cut engrave have a mask on it and i thought you said if you didnt have proofgrade you should mask? None of these were, is there certain things that need be be masked? I wanted to try to get the balsa wood from home depos since its so much less, but concered about the "masking"

    • @AngieHolden

      Definitely if you are cutting I would mask. You don't have to generally for engraving but again you can if you would like. I just cleaned these after I engraved.

    Hi Angie! So it's okay to print on say the cutting board with out the masking on it? Also, once it's engraved is it safe to assume it's no longer food/washing safe you think, but more decorative at that point?

    • @AngieHolden
      @AngieHolden  ปีที่แล้ว

      The way I did the cutting board, I would not use it again as food would get in all of those grooves. If you put something on the edge of the cutting board, I would still use the middle. And yes you can do things like this without a masking! I did clean it up a bit as there was some brown around the edges.

    Do you need to put transfer paper on your wood to get a better engraving? I’ve seem some people do that.

    • @AngieHolden

      It just prevents burn marks on the edges. You can add transfer tape or you can clean off when done.

    I would love this but I need one to engrave on tumblers. What laser do you recommend for engraving tumblers?

    • @AngieHolden
      @AngieHolden  ปีที่แล้ว

      Maybe try the Hey Let’s Make Stuff TH-cam channel. Or google Xtool M1 or F1. I don’t have those but that should get you some info.

    When purchasing say wood from Hobby Lobby, Micheal’s, JoAnn’s etc., how do we know what’s laser ready or not? When ordering on amazon, it usually states if it is or not. 😊

    • @AngieHolden
      @AngieHolden  ปีที่แล้ว

      I would get unfinished wood or something that has a natural finish (like cutting boards that are food safe).

    Please help me! Can I engrave on my new Glowforge aura with clear acrylic? what is the sign on icon, and format?

    • @AngieHolden
      @AngieHolden  ปีที่แล้ว

      The Aura will not do clear acrylic.

  • @MichaelGeronimo-d4w
    @MichaelGeronimo-d4w ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Hi Ms. Angie, I received a reply from you stating that the aura does not engrave clear acrylic, I tried the proofgrade material made especially for aura and still can't get it to engrave.

    • @AngieHolden
      @AngieHolden  11 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Clear will NOT work with the Aura. The proofgrade material should only say Aura on it for the version that is not clear.

    what happens if the image is square and the object is round and the images goes off the object?

    • @AngieHolden
      @AngieHolden  10 หลายเดือนก่อน

      It could cut into the grid or the bottom of the laser.

    Do you know how to calibrate Aura? My engraving doesnt go for right place.

    • @AngieHolden
      @AngieHolden  9 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Hmmm...Maybe look at your lighting. I have found with direct lights it throws the camera off so I have to turn off some of my video lights.

    Maybe I missed it, but why did you need to remove the grate for the slate? Why couldn’t you put the slate directly on the grate?

      It was over 1/4 inch with the feet. Just slightly.
