Late to the game here, but how did you make it a small canvas size 2in by 3in, while still being able to bring in hi-res items without the edges pixelating or rastering? Thank you for the vid and the file.
Thank you for sharing this tutorial
You the man!
You explain so well. Keep it up!
whenever i import my image to tinkercad it always hollows out the alien and leaves a square model. what should i do?
Thanks 😊 🫂 🙏
Hola gracias por tu excelente explicación. Tengo dificultad para cargar la imagen desde el repositorio de google drive, segui todas las indicaciones que dás pero no carga, con el repositorio de Cloudinary funciona excelente. ¿Me podrías ayudar?

This would be helpful if companies stopped changing things.
thank u!
You are the best instructor this is the best video
Thank u a lot, thats what ive been searching.
I love you
when i click on one singular section to color it does not work, it always selects the hole circle
can you help with post requests on thunkable?
Hello, I bought one of these machines to cut 3mm acrylic but it only cuts 3mm acrylic, BLACK AND RED, the MARILLO almost cuts it, the other solid colors are only marked, can you help me with the parameters, thank you
I have artwork I want to to add on the card, however they are quite large and everytime I reduce the size of my image size to fit the card the quality is lost, any suggestions?
JPEG images will always lose quality when resized. I recommend making your artwork in a vector based program like Adobe Illustrator and saving the image as an SVG file.
hi, I bought an atomstack S20 MAX. I have a problem with engraving and cutting. During engraving, the material burns. I probably don't know how to adjust the parameters. Do you have any advice for adjusting the parameters. thank you very much
makes 2 of us...what they dive you on website doesnt work in lightburn for me :(
give*
Thank you so much I learnt a lot. Really appreciate it
Perfect tutorial, thanks!
Is there a way i can get the poker print template?
It's linked in the video description.
Great project. 8/10. Don't see any rubric. However, i suggest using an 18650 inside, instead of the low energy 9v, especially as a life may depend on its longevity. I would use a Nano instead of the Uno, powered through a TP4056 board adapter/charger. Oh, and lower the wire height by tighter low profile connectors. Then seal the entire case with glue, since it is now rechargeable through the TP4056. Good job, though.
Thanks. I will add that information for my students to see how the project can be improved. My intention was to show the class an imperfect device so they can see where mistakes can happen and how they can think about fixing potential flaws. The rubric was just a worksheet I handed out in class so they can better understand how their own projects would be graded.
What size did you use to design the card @Mr Gill
The poker card is 813 x 1114 pixels.
where do you get the poker template?
I've added the link for the poker card template to the video description.
...Just what I needed. Thanks...
But how do you change which is what in said pie chart. Excel keeps selecting all the wrong things
Very well explained! Thank you
what laser cutter program do you use btw? is it aps-ethos?
I have access to a few machines. Ideally, I like to use LightBurn if possible but one of my machines is an Epilog laser so I have to use CorelDRAW for that one.
Very easy to follow!
Thanks for this!
be careful running non-powered usb splitters on a laptop. it can fry the motherboard.
Thanks for the info. I didn't know that.
Very educational!
How would you do this using canva?
This tutorial was made for Adobe Illustrator only. I have never used Canva.
THANK YOU SO MUCHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!
Hello sir, are you on Instagram? I need to talk to you.
thanks
Thanks for this, Is an SVG file easier or more efficient than a DXF for a laser to cut?
If your machine is compatible with both file types, there is no difference between the two.
Where can someone find these templates?
I've added the link for the poker card template to the video description.
Thankue!
I don't get it, it's an alien but it's got a square back??? I mean wouldn't you want to give it a rounded body?
I think the 'square back' you are referring to is the Tinkercad canvas. This would not be part of your 3D model when exported as an STL file.
This tutorial is so extremely helpful, getting my artwork ready for screen printing! Thank you so much
You are very welcome!
It's not perfect because the whites will be outlined and you'll have doubles and the laser will do the job twice and probably the result won't be what you are looking for. "tick the ignore white box in image tracing menu" or use the Magic Wand to select and remove all the whites. Thanks for sharing.
Hey I can't see this option in 2021 can you please help.
click on advanced to expend that menu and you'll find it @@followthetrend168
Mr Gill, I appreciate your tutorial. For a beginner like myself, it's easy to comprehend and helpful. I wish you well!
Thank you!
Can I use Photopea for my image
Thank you sir
Dope. I've been trying to mess around with an image and I was just not able to get rid of the edge line. The tutorial helped immensely :)
This vlog is excellent. Thank you for making it.
Thanks. Glad you liked it.
superb, clear tutorial, cheers mate!
That list didn't come up when I hit image trace. Ugh.
For 2023 versions of Illustrator, click Image Trace and from the new menu that appears, select the type of image from 'Presets'. It's the exact same list of options.
