Thank you so much for your tutorials! I’ve been watching while I waited for my husband to give me the thumbs up to buy a Glowforge, and I just did using your discount code!
I got the email! Thanks so much, and thank you for watching my videos! Enjoy your Glowforge! ☺
What is the discount code? I watched the video but I guess I missed it 😅
Your designs are unique
Thank you! 🙂
Great video! I love your designs! Thank you!
Thanks so much! 😊
I see you're pinching the circle jump rings to close. I did that in the beginning and had issues with there was always a gap. Until I found out to use the twist method. By twisting the distance isn't changed. When you twist it back to close it's a tighter connection. In fact you learn to twist it to make sure it pushes against each end tight.
I wonder...... On something like the green part of the strawberry, or center of the sunflower, if you mirrored it, so essentially it is cutting it upside down, then the kerfs of the cut will be in opposite directions & it will fit together better.
Great video!
Thanks so much!
How did you learn how to figure out how much of a size difference you need to make in order for those pieces to fit together correctly?
Basically just trial and error, testing out a few different sizes until they fit just right. For example for the strawberry I designed it all as one piece, and then separated the design file into the top and bottom of the strawberry. And then tested from there. I hope that makes sense!
Can you answear this question?
@@tvbajzel8906 she did lol 😂
Great video! I just got my GF last week. I'm having issues with all the acrylic melting on the underside. I've just been using the settings that the printer gives for each color acrylic. Any idea how I can stop it messing up my pieces?
Thank you!! I would just keep playing with the settings to figure out what works best for your machine. For 1/8" thick acrylic I use the proofgrade cut settings of Speed: 157, Full Power.
Very detailed tutorial and beautiful earrings. Thank you
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed 😊
Great tutorial and very detailed.
Thank you! :)
So cute.
Thank you! 😊
Helloooo , I loved your video its very informative and i am so thankful for how precise your explanation was and how you walked through everything!!
I was just wondering what tablet/iPad are you using and does it work well with procreate and Adobe Illustrator.
Thanks so much, so glad you enjoyed!! I was using an iPad Pro and I use Procreate on it and love it. I personally don’t like using the illustrator iPad app I find it hard to use.
@@VicTacToe oh ok well I will definitely download it on my pc then.
I’m struggling to find the right acrylic , what type are you using in the video?
@jaestevens1842
I get most of my Acrylic from these Etsy shops:
IdealMaterials
RothkoAndFrost
AcrylicUnitedStates
Hope that helps :)
@@VicTacToe thank you so much 😊
Great video. I was wondering, does the Glowforge do a good job of keeping the smell / fumes contained? I noticed that you are also using the external air filter. Even so, do you smell any chemicals while cutting the acrylic? Thank you, learned so much from your channel!
Hi Chris, I’m glad you’ve found my channel helpful! I don’t have a window in my office to vent out of so I had to get the filter. I would say the filter does a decent job containing the smells. There isn’t much smell from wood, but I notice more smells when I cut acrylic. To contain the smell it helps to wait a few minutes and not open the lid right away when a print is complete. When the filter starts getting old and you’re in a need of a new one, the smells are definitely more noticeable. Hope that helps! 😊
Which glowforge are you using in this video?
This is the Glowforge basic! They actually don't make my model anymore.
How about the acrylic hole puncher
Which model Glowforge did you use? I’m thinking about investing in the basic model but I’m bot sure if it can be used to cut acrylic? The info in the website is more vague than I would like. The wording makes it seem like the basic is only good for engravings…
Hi! I have the basic. It can cut acrylic, and all the materials that the other 2 models can. It can score, cut, and engrave. The only real difference is that it’s a bit slower.
Hello. What thickness is the acrylic since you’re layering? Is it 1:16? Thank you for this video
Hi! I am using 1/16” for the base and 1/8” for the acrylic on top :)
WoW great video, directly to the point !
Do you Purchase any specific brand of acrylic ? Is there a better acrylic or an acrylic that shouldn’t be purchased??
Thank you! I have been getting my acrylic from 3 different places - Etsy, Inventables and Amazon. If I'm looking for a basic color I'll look on Inventables and Amazon, and If I want something more fancy like a multi-color or sparkly acrylic I'll look on Etsy. As far as quality I've been happy with all of the acrylic I've purchased from all 3. :)
@@VicTacToe thank You so much for the reply
@@beehr4468 You're welcome!
Hello which glo forge are you using
It's the Glowforge Basic :)
What is the make and model of laser printer / cutter? I’m interested in getting into this business 😊
Hi! This is a Glowforge Basic. :) I do a review on all the models here if you're interested!: th-cam.com/video/Xqwlb--TPgU/w-d-xo.html
What glue did you use? To glue the parts down
Hi :) I like this glue for acrylic earrings: amzn.to/3QctGsL
I was curious how much kerf you allotted for when cutting acrylic?
Hi! I actually have a video of how I figure out kerf: th-cam.com/video/leN_jFSs5y0/w-d-xo.html
@@VicTacToe hey alright! Thanks so much for the link and help with that!
What kind of glue is that?
I actually didn’t end up liking the one I used in this video, I switched to E6000.
Thanks! What kind of glue are you using out of curiosity?
You're welcome! I use “weld-on” acrylic glue for gluing acrylic. :)
@@VicTacToe oh great! Can I ask which number weld-on? I've heard different preferences.
@@Cazsuane It is this one! :) amzn.to/3y9aoeF
Hi! Do you have a supplier for packing supplies to ship you'd recommend?
Hi! I get my shipping bags from Eco Enclose. I design my own earring cards and have them made at moo.com. I package my pins with clear, compostable bags that I get from Pure Labels. And I get black 3.5 x 3.5 jewelry boxes from Amazon. :)
Hi, can you give me some idea on how you get your LLC. Thank you in advance.
Hi! I don’t actually have an LLC, I did a Sole Proprietorship instead. I would do some research on both LLC and Sole Prop and see what best suits your business! There’s also lots of TH-cam channels that focus on law for creative business, I personally like Kameron Monet. ☺️
Thank you ill check on it.@@VicTacToe
Thank you for sharing!!! I have been trying to figure this out! 🙌🏽 where did you find the 1/16th acrylic??
You're so welcome! I get all of my acrylic through Etsy, Amazon, and Inventables.com. I've learned that sometimes you have to do some hunting to find the acrylic in the size/color you're looking for!
@@VicTacToe thank you!! So true! I will do some hunting! Much appreciated!! 🙏🏽❤️
@@beembellishedcrafts9779 You're very welcome!! :)
