For anyone who wants to whip up some coasters quickly, I figured I’d share this. This file is for a simple coaster holder with an example coaster included, set up so you can plop in whatever you’d like to engrave and just go. The holder is sized to hold 4 coasters.
Right click on the link and “save as”, as mentioned, or you may be able to just hit ctrl+s (or go to File -> Save) when you click the link and see it in the browser.
Well, just an update - I noticed that some newer Maple plywood is thinner than previous pieces have been (ever so slightly - hopefully this is to make it the same thickness as the other plywoods), so the file I shared may end up with slots that are too loose for you.
Ok, so I just read this, and it answered my question of “inside, outside, or follow?” I’m still perplexed why we don’t have the option in the UI to specify that, but then, coming from the CNC world, I still don’t understand the lack of gcode.
Raw motor and power control codes are what the Glowforge gets from the cloud. I’m still baffled by that.
medium maple plywood.
