Ready to learn Lightburn and YOUR CO2 Laser FAST? You're in the right place! You're not alone! Not too long ago, I was in the same boat as you! I had made my first few Glowforge projects, but what was next? I didn't have a design background, a social media presence, or a customer base - YIKES!
There were so many resources to sift through, RU-vid, Facebook, Glowforge forums, Adobe Illustrator Trainings, Suppliers, Etsy, SEO, Website building, so overwhelming!
So I buckled up and spent the better part of a year sorting through all the resources. I pieced together bits and pieces to find what worked for me, so you don't have to!
You're probably looking for some simple resources to get you heading in the right direction as you build your business, right?
GREAT! That's what I'm here for. I'll help you get up to speed faster than I did and with fewer costly mistakes through video, courses, blog posts, guides, and even one-on-one coaching sessions!
Hii!! Thanks so much for your video. I wanted to ask if your acrylic warped or anything? I’ve watched a lot for research and most needed to weigh it down to prevent the warping, and also some have shown themselves needing to scrub off the sub paper afterwards. Did you have any of these issues? Thank you!
Hi do you know if the laser engraving would expose the lead within the cup ? The lead is located under the bottom behind that little round piece though
I'm just getting started with a Glowforge Pro. I have been thinking that I want to cut the graphics and lettering for my signs from acrylic instead of painting. I really appreciate your videos!
This video was so helpful for a laser newbie like myself. 👍 I absolutely love the flower wrap you did on this cup. Is the file available for purchase ?
Hey @laserNUG! Nice to see you here :) the script one is called ball pen: creativemarket.com/VladCristea/1100685-Ball-Pen-Handwritten-Font and the other is called Indigo - creativemarket.com/OnTheSpotStudio/25392-Indigo
I'm feeling really worried about the fire risk and fumes and noise level. Have you ever had to put out a fire? If I vent out the window and have a trash can with a lid, will it still smell bad? Do you wear noise protection?
I wouldn’t worry much about fire - if you pay attention and are vented properly, you’ll catch any small fires before they become something big. Off cuts can still smell after cutting, especially acrylic. You can add fine extractors if it bothers you. I don’t wear noise protection, but maybe I should!

I've watched hours & hours to learn how to do these magical wraps. You're the first one that actually showed from design to engrave! I can't thank you enough for your video. I don't feel so intimidated now.
I was watchinh Think Media with Sean and found your show on his Christian show " podcast" ! Bless you! I sure Would love to colaberate with you! I have my email in my discription box! Bless you, your family, your platform and our Subscribers that we call family, always in ALL WAYS! Your content is AWESOME!
nova 24 also has easy positioning and all the features you have on the bolt are on all nova series, you just need to know where to find them, speed, power can all be changes on the fly, changes are made when the controller detect the next node group, so changes are not instantaneous, but start on the next node group, you dont need to remove the lens from nozzle in the 24 to clean it
Yep - I like that you can change the speed and power on the fly in the Nova, but the little turtle and rabbit in the bolt is extra handy for precise placement
Hi Katie, I listened to the podcast with you on laser everything. Do you have a discount code for CMB ? I’d like to get you something back. You seem very helpful in the laser community!

Thank you for this video! I have had my glow forge for a few months, but just got the nerve to start with it today. I made the gift of good measure. That went great. My question is I downloaded the peg pens, but what do I do to get them to the glow forge to cut. I can figure out the glow forge machine, but where Im going to have a hard time is the computer side of it. Like to import that file into glow forge, and if so, how? Any help is appreciated.
You should see a place to import a design in the Glowforge software and you’ll find the SVG file you’ll want to upload from there - if you’re in the screen that shows your laser bed - it will be the big plus sign
Could be a good idea for some but all my layers except 2 are preset for either cutting or engraving different materials. The 2 unset layers is for something I don't do often so I can play around with them
great video! used it to create my first full wrap for my wife (Came out waaaay better than I expected). Someone is selling a 3d printed level that spans a whole 40oz edge to edge, would that be the most accurate way to get a 40oz level? I also see there is some adjustment for the air hose, would moving that up to avoid changing tilt work better? Thank you!!
Thank you for this tutorial. would you say that light burn is the better software to use over the manufacturers software? 2nd, would these instructions be that same for other machines? lol, even though all lasers are not created equal. we are using the wecreat vision. Thank you, Katie, for your time.
Lightburn is great because it can be used across machines, so you learn it once and you're set. And for your second question - depends on which part, generally, yes, these instructions apply for any laser!
