About us: We run an online Etsy shop where we sell mostly laser cut goods and files. At first, our business was mainly crochet and knitwear, but in 2020 we pivoted to strictly laser cutting. We really like the infinite possibilities laser cutting brings, and also enjoy coming up with my own unique designs. 😊 ----------

Wow! These are all so great! It really helps me get some ideas on what I would potentially sell if I got a Glowforge. What model do you recommend?

@85thandPine 2 года назад

Hi Lisa. Thanks for watching. What model I would recommend would depend on what you are interested in making. The basic and the plus are great, but you are limited to the 19x11 bed size. With the pro, you get the passthrough so you can make much larger items. That and the pro is also faster. Do you have any idea what you would like to make yet?

Hey :) I'm not new to the channel but I'm wondering how much material you keep in stock in order to fulfill your orders? Smokey Hill with their shipping costs, I'm sure you stock up.

Great question Haylee! You are correct. We stock up on a lot of the basics like Baltic Birch, walnut, and MDF. Other items we keep much lower stock of like pattern plywood and even colored acrylic since we don't use as much as those for our projects.

@andreasmith1403 2 месяца назад

I really like the baby milestones. I used those for my daughter and love that you can customize. Was the Glowforge the machine you started with? I really like it, but they are so expensive. I don’t have any laser cutting machine but would like to get one to earn extra money.

@85thandPine 2 месяца назад

Yes we started with a Glowforge, but agree that they are pricey. Depending on what you want to make should dictate what machine you should get. A more reasonable machine that can go a lot at a cheat price is the WeCreat vision laser. It doent have a passthrough, but can engrave things like tumblers of thicker items.

I always get so much residue when I cut out pieces. How do you clean the residue from the edges of your cut pieces?

@85thandPine Год назад

With proper settings, you should have minimal residue on the edges. We noticed when using too much power, there’s a lot more residue than necessary but if you need to clean the edges, you can wipe them down with a damp cloth or try a small amount of rubbing alcohol.

It’s a laser cutting machine (desktop size) used for cutting and engraving various materials such as wood, acrylic and more. It can be used for hobbyists or for those that want to start a business selling their items.

@geauxracerx 7 месяцев назад

Should have included what you’re able to charge for each item.

@85thandPine 7 месяцев назад

A great rule of thumb we like to use is shoot for 5-7x our material costs. Granted sometimes we have to do 3, but 5-7 is where we like to be. The reason we don;t necessarily say is because everyone uses different material for each project. Prices of material go up over the years. For example, birch is much more expensive per piece than when this video was released. Hope that helps.
