These are great! Made a treasure box for my Grandson, but had filled it with chocolate coins. Thinking he may need some coins to the box today. Thank you for sharing!

I tried a set of these (5 of each) as my second print ever. I guess this whole thing is going to take some practice. I used a piece of Medium Draft Board from the Proofgrade supply. (I think that is 1/8 inch) It looked like it did the engraving part fine, and then there was a step where it went over all of the edges of the engraving, like the eyes of the skulls and the toes on the paws, etc. Then it cut the edge of the coin. When I went to take them out of the machine, after the print, that second step mustāve cut all the way through, as all of shapes of the coins were then separate pieces. I am guessing I would have better luck if I used plywood or hardwood? Maybe 1/4 inch instead? I can live with a $4 mistake, as long as I learn from it. Let me know, though. My granddaughter is excited to get them.

This was due to an error when you set up the files in the GFUI. Light blue you correctly set up to engrave (first step). Dark blue you should have set up to score (second step, which from description you set to cut), and then red (third step) from description you correctly set to cut.
Just a little attention to detail that you will quickly get the hang of. Let me know if you need any more help.
Did you go through the initial 3 prints that are recommended?

If you havenāt already, I strongly suggest working through all these first prints and tutorials. It will save you much headaches and wasted material in the long run.

Lolā¦of course I didnāt go through the tutorial prints. I was way too excited. (it took me quite a while to get my machine to work on my network, so I just jumped in both feet first). Maybe I will go back to those first prints now. Thanks.

Please do 
And FYI, those particular colors donāt always mean engrave, score and cut, that is just what they mean in that file. Something you will learn in the different tutorials.

Sorry I didnāt notice you ask for help until now 
I am terrible at keeping up with things like forum posts, lol. It looks like someone else has answered you
It does sound like the score was accidentally set to a cut, I have done that several times, lol. But if you still have issues the next time you try to print one, let me know and I will try to help

Wish I had a GF and ideas like this back when my kids were young and I was a scout dad.

I was a Cub Scout leader. I had a die cutter at the time so almost everything was paper or the foam sheetsā¦lots of tie slides, picture frames with designsā¦the boys had a tie slide for just about every holiday. LOL Would have been a blast with a Glowforge!

I have troubles with burnt wood (sounds weird coming from a Glowforge owner). I get really bad headachesā¦and donāt even think about taking me to a bonfire!!
We bought the AC Infinity Cloudline S8 inline duct fan ā and no more worries!!! My adult son is thrilled because he can now walk out of his room (next to this open family room) and not be coughing. Itās quieter and it really sucks the bad air out of the house!
Not one headache since we installed this!!! Yay!
