That’s good to know; it would save me some annoyance.

Have you tried adding projection(cut=false) to the top of your file before rendering it?

For the projects where I rotated flat it is the only method of making sure everything is captured in the svg. However, I have to use a translate command to nudge it down the z-axis first or even that doesn’t work.
Using cut=false is also how I capture areas I’m going to engrave, like the channels in my sliding-lid-top box.

Love it. I have many, many bottles of paint and Elfa wall storage but hadn’t thought of lasering the two together.

Files you can download for personal use are in the Free Laser Designs category. If the file is for sale there will usually be a mention of it in the original post or they will place a link to their etsy, or other, store in their description (just click on their name.)
There are at least two paint rack designs in the Free Laser Design category:
And one for Sharpies
Once you have cutout and assembled a couple you will probably see the basic principle and how you can design your own. They are basically boxes with holes in them plus some method of racking or stacking them.

Welcome to the community. This post was made seven years ago and it appears that the person who made it is no longer active here. That being said, this was not a file being offered for free…and it is against forum rules to ask for a file. I suggest you might check the free laser designs category and see if there might be anything similar that you may like.

Find any one of the box generators - they’ve been discussed here dozens of times. Draw some holes in one side using your design application of choice, or the GlowForge user interface if you choose. Print on proofgrade material using settings for that material. Done.

be careful, that was very functionally (yes that is a word I just made up). next thing you know you’ll stop making silly stuff, and only make useful things!

I’m sorry. My first post and I am new to all of this.

Almost everyone does it early on 
It doesn’t look like there’s a free file on here for something identical, but there are definitely ones for holders that you could modify if you have the skill, or ask for assistance if you find one that’s close!
Either way you should start a thread of your own so we can see what you do
