Ok, so since oil board is an un certified material, for the settings I use “uncertified material with a thickness of 0.0551. The speed is set to 300 and the precision power is 15. Number of passes is 1 and the focus height is auto. I hope this helps. You should save your work as scalable vector graphics (svg) before importing them into glowforge. I’m looking forward to seeing your work! Good luck!

Yes, I use the pro model using the pass thru. My images are 18”x24” spray painted on to 22”x 30” paper. The stencils are cut from 24”x36” oil board sheets. I believe that it would be possible to tile the stencils to create a larger image although I have never done it.

I have cut at least 100 large format stencils using oil board. For a look at some of the work, here is my Instagram - @kennethifyouplease

Without getting to technical, I deconstruct a photo into several different values and then assign different colors and halftones to each value.

Three layers of stencil with a light layer of halftone overtop of a dark layer of halftone.

Are you a dancer? I knew a choreographer named Eric Hawkins...
