I just found you on youtube this weekend! I have watched almost all of your videos. I have learned so much. I just purchased the glow forge and silhouette business edition from your links!! You are so inspiring.
Thank you so much for the support! ❤
Awesome job Lisa.
Thank you 💕
You make look so easy. All the other videos they cut them in different areas and glue together. I definitely like how you have done the long name
The passthrough feature is the real MVP here! If my sign is still too big, I need to piece it together too. I have a video on that, too!
Thanks for inspiring me to give the CV pass-through a try! I started w something just barely too big as a test, and it worked perfectly. I was able to cut 1 piece designs for 14” rounds. Very nice! Thanks for the great video!
That is awesome!
Bless you for posting this video. I'm inspired now. I'm going to try this on my GF Pro soon!
Have fun!
I'm so happy you did this! One of my next projects is using my pass through...I just can't get myself to try yet. You make it look so easy!
You can do it! 💕
i love it!
Thank you! ❤
That is totally awesome! I really wish I could have afforded the Pro but had to settle for the Plus. I'm grateful however that I have what I have.
I love your videos!
Glad I could help!
You made it look so easy. I think I’m ready to try it 🤞🏽
You can do it!
Hi Lisa , you videos are very helpful.
Thank you!
Thank you! And thank you for watching!
@@LisaPottsDesigns I need your help. 😱
LISA!!!!! I've been wondering how you were doing and your face popped up on my UA-cam!! I met you at your old job in Bradenton and LOVE LOVE LOVE your videos!! You are such an excellent trainer. I saw your name and immediately subscribed and hd no clue what i was subscribing to!! LOL. Great to see you !!!!
Welcome back! Hope you are enjoying the new videos 🥰
Omg... the amount of time I have spent trying to edit certain cut points in my cursive fonts to make some edges thicker for cutting is INSANE... why did I NEVER think to just offset it!?😳😳😳
Thank you for this tip.
I feel silly as someone who has used the offset feature in both design space and Silhouette studio sooooo many times to actually achieve an offset.
Excited to try the pass-through slot today too, so this video was helpful! Thank you.
Glad I can help! I made the same mistake too, but offset works really well for lasering, specifically!
thank you!
Thanks for watching!
Let’s do it Lisa. 😊
💪
Thank you :)
No problem 😊
I’m a new laser owner and you are very cute so I subscribed!
Yay! Thank you!
Hi Lisa…It’s Lisa 😂 Yes, it's giant! love this ❤️
I want to go even bigger! 😍
@@LisaPottsDesigns Do it!!
Hi Lisa, great contents. Thank you for sharing. I just attempted a passthrough about the same length, however I had a couple areas where it didn't align properly when joining with the other side of the letter. Did you ever experince that? If yes what did you adjust or fine tune to avoid that?
Thanks in anticipation. Keep up the great work.
I haven't had that, but I will pass it though a little less to ensure there's plenty of the old cut in view. Also - that issue sounds like a software issue. Sometimes the program has a bug that is reported from Glowforge.
Definitely using this video to make my first large print/cut! What size plywood did you exactly get? Im running to home depot tomorrow so I want to know exactly what to ask for
I got a 2 foot by 4 foot piece, but had it cut down to 4 feet by 20 inches!
Thanks for sharing this!! I have a pro but haven’t used my passthrough feature yet. What table do you have your glowforge on that you’re able to move it to middle of the room? And do you place it back or next to a wall when done?
Yes, I move it back to the wall. I have a Husky rolling toolcart. It's a bit of an investment, but I am kicking myself for not getting it sooner! So easy to move and I can also store a ton of material in it.
@@LisaPottsDesigns thanks 😊
Can you please 🙏 share the link for the wood . I’ve tried several types of wood and it won’t cut through
Can you possibly do a video for us that don't have a passthrough on how to do larger products like this
Sure! I haven't done it, but I can try. I think Troy the Maker might have one!
I so needed this video! Thank you! Can you tell me the width of the birch?
I believe Lisa said the thickness was 1/4”
@@mmathis9860 I meant to fit thru the pass through, 19-20”?
@@twofords awww, she didn’t say I don’t believe. But it would be about that.
Yes, Mark is right, I did about 19 inches width of the material. My design was around 18.
Hi Lisa. So your wood piece was about the width of the glowforge, so it wasn't that hard to keep it straight when you slid more if it through. What if your wood piece was way more narrow, say about 12" wide? Then wen you pushed it through the passthrough for subsequent cuts, what if you shifted the piece left or right a bit? Or if it was a tiny bit crooked after sliding it in more? Do we need to slide it through perfectly straight for it to recognize the prior cuts and cut the remainder precisely? Thanks!
It definitely has some wiggle room, but I recommend always aligning the wood against the right side (button side) of the machine!
Lisa - Watching this now and I have an order for a name just like this. How could you do this if you do not have a pass through?
Some other GF users will cut it in pieces and assemble it. I haven't done it, but I think Troy the Maker has!
Hi Lisa! I'm hoping you can help since GF support hasn't answered me yet. I'm using my passthrough for a large (18" circle, 1/4" thick) door sign. My GF cuts everything great then finishes and says the cut was unsuccessful and won't continue. Any idea what might be causing this? Thank you! Your videos are so helpful
Hi Megan! So...that sounds like a software issue. It's not telling you to try alignment again, it's just saying unsuccessful?
Where do you get boxes big enough to ship those??
TV moving boxes or I piece together boxes! I do a higher shipping cost for these, so most of mine are local orders.
Can u please share the best way to download silhouette business pro? I just purchased a Glowforge.
Yes! Download the basic software, then purchase the license key. Once you have that, go to Silhouette Studio, file, upgrade license key, an input the key there.
What size do you get the plywood cut down to?
I will get a large sheet and I have them cut it to 20 inches wide. Typically my boards are 20 inches by 48 (four feet).
Hi ! I have a pro and have been running into many issues with the pass through feature. After my first cut with pass through it never wants to realign and continues saying “retry alignment”. Has this happened to you ? If so what did you do to fix this ?
It's happened to me once or twice. Typically that happens when there isn't enough of the previous cut on the screen. The software uses it to align the next cut.
Hi! Do you have to contact glowforge to use the passthrough The first time?
Nope! Just turn on the feature in your Glowforge software.
I do not see the option for Birch Pass-through in the settings. My Pro Passthrough Option is On, is there something else I am missing. Great video.
I programmed my own! Hit the plus sign at the bottom, but in some settings, when you have the right cut, click the save icon and name it something that's helpful to you!
@@LisaPottsDesigns The only plus sign I have is to save the settings on the top right when I am in cut settings. There's no plus sign at the bottom.
In the cut option, I have Speed, Precision Power, # of passes and Auto or Manual for Focus Height
@@ionbuilds Yes, just go to manual settings, choose the speed, power and passes, then click the save icon at the top of that section 😊
So when you push the material forward it automatically figures out where it should continue in the design?
Correct. You leave enough of the previous cut within the camera to allow the software to figure out where the cut ends and the next one begins.
How did you hang it up?
I hang the little loops of the letters off nails in the wall. Similar to how you hang up a calendar.
Hi, how long did it take to do this cut?
Hey Kim! This took about an hour, but the majority of the time was spent on the aligning part.
How long did it take to cut "Eleanor" in that size?
This took about an hour, but most of it was the machine aligning and taking pictures.
Lisa, how do you hang a name sign like this?
Hi Lisa 🤗 I mark on the wall areas where there are loops or parts I can hang the word on, then place small nails in those spots. After that, I literally hang the word off the nails!
@@LisaPottsDesigns Thank you…I appreciate it!!
What is the link (your link) to order the glow forge pro? How much is it?
hi! It's glowforge.com/lisapottsdesigns and the pro is around $6500. ♥
How do I get the 500$ off?
Just go to glowforge.com/lisapottsdesigns and it will automatically be taken off!
I made a SVG file for a someone as a wedding gift. I made sample size just to be sure everything was great. I've never used my passthrough. So yeah there is that as well. Anyway, When I turn on the passthrough and adjust the size, I get the message "No artwork". I don't understand. I just used the same artwork for the samples. PLEASE help. Thanks in advance
A couple things to try, make sure to set your focus or manually put in your material height. After that, make sure your design has settings assigned to it. Last, the passthrough goes from the bottom up. Make sure the bottom of your design is at the bottom of your workspace, and the remaining part of it is flowing up and is exiting your screen at the top.
Its actually because turning on passthrough can sometimes reset your settings. So you'd need to reselect your material type as well.
