Interesting we had very similar variable names. At first I made it for engraving, but then added “Remove Holes” to make it an all cut job. I like the speed.
Cuttle.xyz is a web-based design tool for laser cutting. It’s free to get started (or paid for all the features and unlimited access). I am the co-creator of it!
One of Cuttle’s features is that you can define “parameters” which are numbers, text, font selectors, etc. and then use these parameters in parts of your design. When you change a parameter, the design updates live.
We’ve made a variety of free templates that let you quickly customize designs. There are press-fit boxes that you can change the dimensions, customizable keychains / name tags / garden markers where you can type your own text, etc.
To use any of these, just click the link to the project, for example the snowflake generator. You’ll see an area on the right where you can customize the design (type your own text, etc). Then click “Download SVG” when you have a design you like. You can then upload this SVG design to Glowforge to cut it.
We also have a YouTube channel with lots of video tutorials.
There are also a ton of cool projects that people from the Cuttle community have shared that you can explore here.
For a commercial license (if you’d like to print and sell them), you can upgrade to Cuttle Pro.
Thank you for asking!
@jestelle Thanks for the feedback! I agree we need to make it more clear the licensing for Cuttle’s official templates and have a way for creators to specify the licensing for their shared projects. Will start working on that! Let me know if you have any suggestions / requests for that, as I know you’ve shared some projects in the past.
Would you mind sharing the SVG you downloaded from Cuttle? You can share it here or DM it to me or email toby@cuttle.xyz … whatever you prefer.
You should be able to go straight from the SVG downloaded in Cuttle to Glowforge without any other intermediate steps necessary. So if that doesn’t work I’d consider it a bug and will fix it!
