I’ve had my Glowforge for a few months now, and I still consider myself a rookie.
I’m jumping around, watching all different kinds of tutorials, and I Feel like I’m missing a bunch of fundamental things.
So I wonder if there is like a course study to understand the fundamentals I’m missing
For example, I can see my project in the Glowforge app, but it tells me I have no artwork. Now I realize my artwork isn’t great, but it is there, if someone can tell me what I’m doing wrong at appreciate that
I can understand how you feel. I felt that way 7 years ago, too. No… there are really no study courses except time and experience. There are guidelines to doing first projects, though…so if you skipped over that part when you first got your machine, those would probably help a lot. If you stick around here on the forum, there are years of experience and skills in so many great people…and we’re willing to help whenever we can.
No artwork could mean a couple of things…that your artwork is ‘out of bounds’…outside that grayish bounding box in the UI. Could mean you have no material selected.
I know how you feel. I got my Aura approx. the time but also a crafter with Cricut, which helped. In fact a crafter Jennifer Maker is known in Cricut community but also has a couple of Glowforge lasers. She has a couple of tutorials on the lasers. You can check it out.
