Me too a year ago. All’s I can say is it gets better and easier, then you’ll see new a new items and say to yourself “I wonder how they made that…” This is a rabbit hole that never ends

Houston…we have take off!!! simple little files transferring. nothing famous enough to show the world yet! haha! But…soon enough I can share. . . BUT … I have to ask. Because it is literally all I have heard out of my daughters mouth, and also I am wondering too, where can I find the amazing cardboard world map lantern shade?? I might get all laughs back…but it was at least worth the try!

Not laughing here…that’s something I’ve wanted since day one 3 years ago. It’s not available. Yet.
PS…really happy to hear that you’re finally having some success. Nothing makes you want to continue more than seeing that it really works. Keep on keeping on.
Well I have to say that I am surprised that one of these geniuses have not recreated it yet! That is what pretty much caught my eye, and had me sold. It quite literally was the master of my decision making! That and the simple fact that the Owners are so involved. And @Xabbess I owe you a big thank you for this. https://www.tinkercad.com/dashboard. Because it has really been helpful as in teaching how to work the options. Of course this still is as far as I have made it, but I am doing all of the lessons. (Well, not the circuit lessons, but all the ones pertaining to designing things) I haven’t gotten a chance to thank anyone as personally yet, because I haven’t gotten very far. I printed the first pdf referral…but that is still a different language to me. so thankyou!

Curious, now that I think about it I’m not entirely sure why that hasn’t happened yet. I don’t think it would be that hard for many of the wizards on this forum. I think I may start work on that, but one of the other regulars will probably beat me to finishing it

okay guys…I have been stuck on Spiral Drawing Tool_Page 1.pdf (215.7 KB) Spiral Drawing Tool_Page 2.pdf (135.8 KB)
for DAYS!!! this is the file I am using. and I have not figured out yet how to get the pics from my phone to show you guys what came of it. But, in this file, there are circles with holes that are supposed to have zig zag edges… and it is cutting the zig-zag part off. I have tried fixing it and editing it and of course you can not edit or change ANYTHING in the interface, or atleast I can not.
MY POOR CHILD! she has been so patient! I can work on it at home with my Mac but I have to be at the glowforge machine to test it and I have that at the shop. so it so frusterating!

Carefully check the steps in the GFUI and I suspect it’s a matter of switching one or more of the steps to score instead of cut.

Ok, yes. That’s what I am having problems with. The one that needs to be changed is on one of those files as a whole piece. So there is more than one item on the piece that needs to be scored instead of cut. But all of the other in that cube are to be cut. So in order to change just one job, (I’m sorry I sound illiterate when speaking of anything to do with this but I just haven’t learned the correct terms yet. But, on the left where it shows the order of the operations, they are set and divided into squares, that is what I am trying to say) well, in one particular square there are thre or four different areas set to cut, and if I change the item it is changing all of them. Is there a way to change just one area in One square, instead of all of the items in one square. Or do I need to upload the file into one of the softwares, and try to get it done that way? Or am I missing something. I really have been educating myself. But more so along the lines of safety of glowforge and Inkscape and Tinkercad so far, because I want to design and build my own things. (But that don’t mean I don’t live all these files everyone shares, so in the mean
