Learn how to set up the Best Built Laser Engraver, which helps you engrave serial numbers as well as the inside and outside of rings, bangles, and pendants — regardless of whether the surface is flat or curved.
Our tutorial will show you how to easily engrave signs. A step by step guide shows how to import graphics, set the right size and gives you important printing tips.
In this video I will go over the best fonts to use for laser cutting and how to use Inkscape to change or thicken some fonts so it is easier to cut them on a laser. You want to choose fonts that are not going to break or be too fragile to handle when cut from wood or any substance. Here is a list of my favorite fonts I like to use when designing 3D wood signs.
Charlotte Script
Madina Script
Back to Black
Milkshake
Autumn In November
Andada SC
Arial Bold
Great Vibes

In this video we are going to cut different types of fabrics with a laser cutter to see how this is done. This way of cutting can be the dream of anyone who converts patterns into sewing, or who works with products that need to be covered with fabric.
The laser I use in this video is a Two Trees Totem S laser, but you can use any other Diode laser for this, such as the Ortur and NeJe machines. If you don’t have a laser cutter yet, check out the various reviews on my channel.

Tool: 90W Reci W2 36×24 inches CO2 Laser Engraver and cutter machine
**Update 1/11/21**
The above machine originally recommended by Mike is no longer available from Toolots. When asked about comparable machines, Mike suggested the following, though he has not had direct experience with either of them.
RMLaser Classics Appearance Design Reci 90W 36×24 In Co2 Laser Engraver Cutter
Kehuilaser 35 x 23 Inches 100W CO2 Laser Engraver and Cutter Machine
In any case, we suggest giving Toolots a call to get a better sense of what they have in stock.

Quotes:
“I did my homework, did the research on what’s out there in the landscape of lasers and I decided on this machine. I’ve had it for about two months and couldn’t be happier. All-in, delivered to my door, I think was $2,800, and that’s a really sweet price. But the reason I went for this kind of model over some of the more polished kind of brands that are out there is that I feel like this type of laser offers you more flexibility in what you’re able to do.
Brands like Glowforge, the Muse, Boss Laser, all have smaller form factors of their lasers but they’re also limited by the wattage. So the size of the unit will kind of dictate the power of the tube in the back. The longer the larger the tube is, that’s where the laser fires, that’s where the power comes from. So for Muse and Glowforge, those are only 40 watt machines possibly 45 watts if they juice it somehow. But that’s all you’re ever going to get out of that machine, no matter how you upgrade it, until you actually get a larger machine that can accept a larger tube.”
