My favorite material for jigs... Recycled USPS Priority Mail boxes. Recycled Amazon boxes work too.
Love this idea!!
Thanks for sharing! I'm having a hard time unzipping the folder for the jig. I'm able to open other folders from your site.
That's weird! Can you email my team at help@heyletsmakestuff.com and we'll get you some help! :)
Amazing! Can’t wait to get mine!!! What kind of pens would this work on?
I am not sure! Pencils are easy because they are wood and the Aura engraves wood really easily. I would have to do some testing with pens.
with the free SVG file provided is it possible to adjust the width and height of the jig as I would like to make this tool for engrave metal idy bracelets.
If you have an editing software like InkScape or Illustrator, you might be able to edit it!
So I have made the jig prepared the pencils what material should I choose.. getting a warning about proofgrade materials basically
Instead of setting the material, use the manual engrave settings I mentioned in the video. Then you don't need to choose a material. :)
@@HeyLetsMakeStuff thank you I had put the settings in
Thanks! I'm having a hard time finding the SVG file. It says it's "below" on the page, but I still don't see it.
Oh goodness, I forgot to add it! You can find it in my library here: hey-let-s-make-stuff.ck.page/09b416df68
@@HeyLetsMakeStuff Thanks! I ended up finding and and cutting it.
@CLTGeek Hi, thank you for sharing. Specific settings?
The USPS priority boxes are pretty easy to cut. For an Aura, I'd start with the "Cardstock" proofgrade setting. If you find a batch of cardboard that's a little hardier, the "Maple Veneer" proofgrade setting should take care of it. For a Performance (CO2) unit, the 1/8" corrugated cardboard material setting works great. Amazon boxes may require some tweaking as they keep changing their box thickness and composition.
Will this jig work for pens?
Really depends on the pen!
I don't see the jig download.. is it labeled somewhere
Whoops! So sorry about that! You can find it in my craft library here: heyletsmakestuff.com/library/#laser
I just went to the store to get pencils… thank you I am enjoying this glowforge so far
