In this video I show you how to make awesome custom Edge Lit LED Signs using a CHEAP laser cutter! This tutorial uses Inkscape for the graphic design and K40 Whisperer for controlling the laser engraver, which in this case is a K40 Laser Cutter!
Many people like to use a gamepad or controller to move the CNC router around to position it for zeroing out the axis before a job, or moving it out of the way to put down a new workpiece. I have a few left over instruments from my RockBand days, so I decided to use that! 😀
This video walks you thru how to set it up and hopefully inspires you to use a unique controller of your own! 🙂
I used the following links to help get this idea off of the ground! Hopefully they can help you too!
I just released a new YouTube video detailing a new rubber stamp creation process I have been using with my Glowforge laser cutter. The process makes use of Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop to add strength to the stamps to hopefully make smaller details stronger and more resilient.
