I’ve ordered my Glowforge two days ago so I’m still waiting for the machine and I’m scared and excited. I want at some point to make an acrylic led light and am wondering if it is possible to put a border about 1/8 inch around the design. Thank you in advance for any and all help you give me and I look forward to being an asset to the community as soon as I get a little bit comfortable with the machine.

You need to lay out the file with a cut line 1/8" outside the central design. How to do it varies with the software you use to create the design

What software are you going to be using to create your designs?
Inkscape. Do you have any help or links to what could help me I would really appreciate it
if you search the forum for “inkscape tutorial” you will find a great selection of stuff specifically centered around using inkscape with the glowforge. Otherwise, you are on the right track using youtube.
