Yes. We’ll help but give us something to work with. Post your design or describe what you want to do.

Do you want to engrave text? Do want to cut out letters. Do you want to make something like a cake topper out of acrylic that has letters joined?

Here is a spreadsheet of all kinds of how to appropriate for different needs and design programs.

I’m so sorry to hear that you are running into trouble.

As @dklgood pointed out, Text must be converted to a path in order to obtain the print results you have been hoping for. I’m glad the community has provided some great examples to help you work through some of the snags.

I’ll close this thread for now, but if you run into any more trouble, please don’t hesitate to reach out to us directly at support@glowforge.com.
