Dan did a little write up of his process, but hasn’t put up an svg:

The Leather Bag Story

@briski asked how I designed this. I said it was worth a post of its own, so here goes. [image] Every week we have “laser thursday”, where we hang around late and make stuff. One thursday I told Tony, our chief product guy and cofounder, that I thought it would be cool to make a bag. He said that we would definitely need to hire some sort of expert because that sounded virtually impossible. I bet him that we could design a bag right there, having no idea if it would work or not. We measur…

He hinted that they’ll have it in the catalog at some point though because it makes a cameo in the video.

@dan

Objects from the video are coming, but no guarantee on objects from the front page of the website. Fortunately my satchel made a cameo in the video!

have they talked about selling the proofgreade material tape yet for our own material?

@niccoli.joseph

have they talked about selling the proofgreade material tape yet

Not that I’m aware of. I kinda doubt it actually since it’s part of what makes Proofgrade Proofgrade, but who knows?

There are several discussions about available masking from other sources, however. 582U is a popular choice. I’ve used this stuff:

1 Roll 12in x 300ft Application / Transfer Tape, GreenStar Classic Adhesive - Vinyl Cutter Signs https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00C131Y04?ref=yo_pop_ma_swf

And I like it, but a couple of people on the boards complain that it doesn’t stick for them. I haven’t had that problem, though I think the adhesive is pressure sensitive so I use a putty knife to squeegy it down. It sticks better to the front of leather than to rough sanded Baltic Birch.

what does it mean by sorry bitmap can only be engraved i traced a straight line on the proofgrade and it wont let me cut it WHY? they need to add a tool ribbon so that we can make simple shapes and get to chose to cut or engrave them

You can add vector cut lines using the Trace function.

Glowforge Interface - Using the Trace Tool

The Trace Tool in the Glowforge User Interface can be used to scan printed artwork for engraving, and to create cut lines around the artwork, or inside the artwork, by clicking with the mouse. There are a couple of ways to do things with the Trace Tool. (I’m going to borrow one of Glowforge’s freebies to demonstrate since my drawing skills are non-existent. I printed this airplane out - pretend it’s hand drawn.) Procedure To Scan a Physical Drawing and Add Cut Lines: Black ink d…

thanks ill try this next time i did a solid black line and it wouldn’t let me cut it only engrave it and i just took a pair of scissors and hacked away at the material

It’s worth noting that the Catan board has a couple of conversion errors for the ports… 2:1 instead of 3:1 (I think).
