Tips and Tricks: Making Lasercut Products with Basic Materials 

Welcome back Rob, we missed you!

Your editing is super clean, I find your videos informative and entertaining.

duuuuude, you have been missed :D

Great to see you back! I just finished my laser build. Greet to see a fellow Kiwi killing it in the diy laser world!

Thanks for the free files, I’m a teacher - these might come in handy.

Thanks for your generosity and great to see that you found the time to make another video!

Good to see you back! Enjoying your work, thanks for sharing!

Came and watched some of your vids last night, nice coincidence hahaha

Man it's been a while, I watched your videos and I'm building my own Laser cutter inspired by a lot of other builds I found but your DIY Laser Cutter serie is the best, thank you! please keep making more videos :D

RU-vid did not put this video in my watch next queue ☹️ luckily I saw on instagram that you posted a new video

From Canada. Hope you doing well Rob, You ARE a PRO!

Hi... Thanks for coming back. Miss your videos. Keep this dream alive...

Glad to see you back!!! Great stuff as always.

Glad to see you back, I have all my parts except a 9mm belt I’ve been waiting on for 2 months and looking forward to getting into my Y-400 build! Thanks for the video. I’d love to see a “designing for laser cutting/engraving” series in the future.

I loved your build series. One day I will build one. Having fun with my router and Lathe at the moment.

The bamboo is really cool. Also working on building my own co2 laser like many others here.

i just found this channel... thanks for all your help...looking forward to more laser videos.

Great to see you back!

Welcome back, welcome back, welcome back! Pete from Nelson here - you inspired me and I went and bought a laser during lockdown :) Loving your ideas. I was playing with making a leather lighter pouch just last week! Good work on the vids; just hit the bell so I don't miss any!

I can't wait to get my own laser cutter. Great video. Very Inspiring!!!

Welcome back, Rob! Glad to see you're doing okay. If you're leasing out shop space, I'll assume that means that you've got more paying work than your little garage could handle? If you're looking for quick, easy items that sell like crazy. . . laser engraved leather keychains. I've been selling the crap out of them lately, and they cost next to nothing in materials. Looking forward to more videos!

Cool projects Rob! Thanks for your willingness to share the files!

Always worth the wait. Thank you.

Good to see you back!

Good stuff Rob! I have been chewing over if I should build your Y-1200 :)

thankyou for the video and also for the free files. cant wait to give them ago, all the best

Welcome Back! Have you been using your laser cutter much during the past year? How is it holding up and have you made any changes or upgrades? If you started again would you use the same design and build?

Oh yeah i'm going to make some leather and wood zines with that stitching method. Thanks!

Hi, Rob, I have been watching your videos mainly because of co2 laser build series, but after that I also watched remaining ones. Great vids. Few days remembered your channel, because I thought it would be nice to watch again build series, because it's time to build my own laser machine. (Bought plans a year ago :D) Today watched few more videos that I liked, and thought when would you upload new vids, and here you are, quite strange coincidence :D Love your videos, keep it up! Waiting for more! Thanks ;)

Thank you so much for the free template! This is really helpful for my design and technology lesson!

Awesome video - can't wait for more

Great video. Keep up the good work 💪🏻

You made some really nice things, good video.

Good explanation, man!

Dude it's really good to hear from you! Projects look awesome will suss them out when I feel creative next and you don't have to apologise. 2020 succccked just good to hear from ga

Good to hear from you! I bought most of the basic hardware for my own laser cutter (based on your plans), but COVID really locked things off when I was waiting on everything to arrive from overseas. The angled bracket connectors (which you filed down) in particular took somewhere around four months to get here! The project is on hold for a bit but I'm definitely glad I held off on buying the pricier parts, like the laser tube.

Great job, great videos. I recently started making stuff on etsy and this helps a lot.

fantastic, keep up the good job, cheers mate!

Thanks! Cool vid and great files

That's awesome. Thank you for your time...:)

Can i ask where you get your 3mm Bamboo Ply from in NZ? I have been using 3mm Craft ply from Mitre 10 but the middle layer is very inconsistent, often having large gaps.

Hi, I have just purchased the box you has assemble in the video, but I got problem with setting up the size, I got the cut file already, but dont know how to customize my own size, it just didnt work, if I have set up as the same height and width, can you share your setup for the box at 2:23, Much Appreciated!

thank you!

Thanks for sharing

Thank you

thank you!!

Glad to see a new video from you, your channel helped a lot starting out in co2 lasers What do you think of spraying the workpiece with small amounts of water to achieve nearly the same results as using masking tape? I found that on large orders and especially with a lot of small pieces time spent removing the tape and money spent on it increases greatly It has a limit as wood for example bends when drying after this process, but small pieces tend to resist this

Love the video! I'm going to have to make a laser beard for my laser cutter ;0)

Hi Rob really good to see you back. I didnt have a laser when I first saw your channel. I purchased your coasters and Nespresso files and made the a while ago, and love them. I( dont suppose you have an assembly instruction sheet for that beautiful treasure chest do you? kind regards Terry

Pls sir can you do paid layered art design of hollow object like speaker box....which may be up to 20 layers

Hey there. THank you for this video. It helped a lot. Can you tell me the brand or kind of masking tape you use to prevent burns?

Hello I have a 150w Co2 laser cutter and I use RD works as well. I'd like to ask if you ever tried tile engraving using RD works if so what settings and power did you use

When you polish beforehand, there will be no burn Marks or any residue?

Very nice :) thank you ! With what have you covered the kiwi? Is it wood glue and water? What kind of wizard stuff is that :)

hi downloaded the files to cut and the treasure chest is cutting weirdly, does a whole 4 passes on each stroke not on each box section, any help

Cool vid Sir. if you could share, where do you get the bamboo from? That finish looks a lot better than the MDF

Muito bom, parabéns!

Please is your machine using belts or rag and pinion?

This what I was searching... Bro which software you are using?

6:30 any projects you make is worth uploading it on you tube and we appreciate it🙂

Hi. Hope all's well. So here's a question: you mentioned you scale things to get them cut. Is there a particular reason you opt for this approach vs. using offset? I'm guessing it's to do with efficiency, but was really unsure about how that'd affect finger joints and pocket holes in the piece.

I am brrand dew to this lazer engraving and cutting and really could use some help here. I have paly around a bit with it and lasergrlb but do not seem to get the same results aas in the video. could some one help me out on the use of the program and my lazer to that I can do something. Riught now I am only playing with balsa wood to get a feel for it. I would like to chat over the phone or maybe meet up with someone that I can bring it over and sone can show me what I might be doing wrong. thank you

Nice! Thanks

Great video and thank you for share with us. Can you suggest some small size (A3 or A2 size) laser cut machine for beginners? I live in a small appartment and the space is a real challenge. Thank in advance!

Hi bro how are you today I'm from Pakistan.i have lezar cutting machine. Can you send me different designing coraldraw file

Love (especially) the low-poly kiwi 😍 Just curious: how did you get the connecting flaps for every single polygon? Manually or automatically by software? And, in case, which software? As well as kiwis there in NZ, local fauna here in Rome is mainly cats...I’d love to do something similar with mine 😉🐱

This kiwi bird, does anyone know what software to use to break down a 3D image into these flat piece ? Not really sure how to ask my question lol it looks like a origami bird. I’ve seen this done with sheet metal with different objects….. can anyone help???

That little block you use to set the focus height, is it mentioned in one of the build videos? If not, could you tell us about that or share a link to a place that does? Probably super simple but total noob here.

Love your vids man I bought the files to build the laser and can't wait to follow your guide, I do have a question do you have a way to attach a rotary to this machine? My goal is to be able to do tumblers for local youth sports, anyway killer content can't wait to see what's next

Hi! What material did you use for chest?

One thing I’ve not been able to find is a list of materials this laser can cut and their thicknesses. Any way you could shed some light there?

How did you designed that low poly kiwi Can you make tutorial about that

which app are you using?

What did you do @1:40?

buy your plans of the laser cutter y400 with 600 x 400 cutting area, but I want you to help me, I need a 900 x 600 cutting area, you can help me modify the fusion 360 file for me, the software will not be used, please

That laser cutter is looking fantastic, I trust it was worth your investment both in time and in money? has it started to generate income for you?

Hi i sended my email about receiving the box & Light DXF files thank you please send them please please

Rob! Rob! Rob!

Если вы сделаете компенсацию резки на чертежах, то вам не понадобится клей, сборка будет быстрой и очень плотной!

That's a good looking treasure chest
