    Thank you for this. Im a graphic designer and Im making a cutting board for someones wedding and its being laser cut in another office, so its great to hear from a professional if I'm doing this to the standard they need it done

    I loved this, I am a complete beginner and you made it seem easy.

    Have you got a video where you then send it to your laser?

    Making a prototype for my brother in law's boardgame as a Christmas gift for him. Came here to find out how to actually do it in some maker space. Bonus: you're a very compelling person

    Great how-to video. I've used Illustrator for two years and still learned a few things. I am, however, a beginner using a laser. I'm curious about what file type you saved to import into laser software. Would I be saving as SVG?

    What file type do you save as? .svg?

    Yes, very easy to learn from you. Thank You! I've used Photoshop for years but never Illustrator for vector images.

    Can you tell Ai, where to start on the cut? If I want to start on the outside or inside of the part?

    Hi, awesome video. I noticed that you didnt change the width. Do you have to change the width to 0.01pt or will it cut fine/ cleanly with the setting of 0.1pt?

    Offset path would've helped with the inner part :) (great video though)

      Also after I published this video I realized it's avengers assemble not avengers unite and I was very bummed.

    Glad to see this. Wish more videos were dedicated to AI rather than Corel. AI is SOOO much easier to learn and logical to use.

    did you had to edit the line colors to RGB prior to sending the file for laser cut ?

    The makerspace-map url now redirects to "our-vision". Is the map still around?

    Thank you for this info. I will be watching soon. I was interested in your Beauty and the Bolt makerspaces map, but it seems the website is not active? Has that been updated or am i just missing something. thank you!

    How do you get AI to communicate to your laser? Is there an extension or plug in or driver?

    more like a sales site than instructional. Way too fast for beginners. More spam than needed.

  • @1-Nice-Guy

    I'm sorry, but for someone that has used Illustrator for years, you sure made the tree harder that it should be and your lines don't meet up.

  • @robbiesmith79
    @robbiesmith79 Рік тому

    You literally skipped the most important part of why I'm here and it's the steps you'd take from illustrator to the laser cutter. Without that this was a wasted 10 minutes.

    I don't do well trying to listen to someone who talks as quickly as you; it's not a good teaching style. So, I must replay your presentation many times to get what you say. Almost two minutes of the presentation wastes time, as you are not demonstrating "Laser Cutting 101!" Try to be calm and slow down - it helps others and does not diminish what you think of yourself.
