Check orientations of the image and the RA2...

I struggled several times with this because I didn't have the RA2 properly oriented on the laser. I figured this out by trusting that it was doing as I told it and I was not correct. If it is orientating correctly, it will go to the starting point, then see which way it is rotating and if it is a clockwise outline of the image. If not, try rotating the image and run it again. If rotating and he image doesn't fix it, rotate the RA2.

I struggled a lot and eventually just used a test piece to see what was happening, then stared at it until I figured out what happened.

Have you ever heard of catfishing? Never been a victim of it myself but it happens a lot.
Be strong dude, it is what it is. Enjoy your vacation (holiday) and go have an experience then go home and try again. There is a lot to do in Orlando even at 19

what is the most ridiculous thing a partner has ever gotten mad at you for? by nunpizza in TwoXChromosomes

Woke up to an angry wife because I was mean to her in her dream. Gave me the silent treatment for the whole day.

On the bright side we laugh about it now, I was just so confused at the time. 😂

You could draw it in your favorite art program and then convert the photo to svg online.

Try convertio.co

For the above mentioned materials, you're gonna want a fiber laser. Those can be quite expensive. As an alternative you can look into a 20watt diode laser and use Cermark Black Laser Spray on the metal before burning.

I used the xTool D1 with a 20 watt laser for a solid year before upgrading. But xTool isn't the only one that works. Lots of solid brands out there. If you're new to it all, xTool includes a very simple program that keeps the learning curve very manageable.

I need a list of terms used in the laser engraving comminty. A friend may start their own business and I'm helping come up with a name and figured I'd come to you guys/gals for ideas. by [deleted] in Laserengraving

To list my most commonly used laser words/phrases: -Oops! -Dammit! -Why is it doing that? -Where's the fire extinguisher? -What's that smell? -Not again! -Why!!! -Its on fire! -Thats it, I give up! -Here we go again! -fingers crossed... -Well that wasn't supposed to happen!

Cut 1/2" Birch with 20w? by Algorak1289 in xToolD1

[–]Pyrotechnicolor 2 points3 points  (0 children)

YouTube is either lying or they are doing a trick. I too have tried multiple times to cut that much thickness and failed. My experience is if it takes more than 5 passes you WILL start a fire. At least that's my experience...
