 We just made this portable standing display using a one-sheet of plywood and the print and cut feature in Lightburn And we'll show you how we did it right now What is up a welcome back you like to do a build that'll make it so do we and we have a new video each week this week We're going big we're putting a whole sheet of plywood four by eight Through our pass through and our big laser you guys have been asking about the Craft food stands that we made a couple of craft shows to go we used them for a couple of shows We really love them. They're easy to transport They're much lighter than the metal racks which we love but these are better And I think they just have a better aesthetic overall So we're going to show you how we made those and how we assemble them Step one we're going to gather all of our supplies. We needed a full sheet of plywood It's half inch four foot by eight foot This is double-sided finished on both sides It's a maple plywood a nice shiny finish on both sides so that you can use either side or both sides depending on how It's displayed on this display right now. It's nice And we needed one one inch dowel rod Step two We're going to make all of our cuts most of our cuts will be done on our big hundred watt laser We're going to be showing you that printed cut feature within lightburn We showed you this last week on the smaller omtech polar laser with our Wednesday Addams fan art But this week we're going to show you how to use that printing cut feature within lightburn on a much larger scale To do a little different type of project. So we're going to use it to do a pass through All right, let's open our file and get it prepped We're just open our SVG It's definitely bigger than our cut area. I'm going to start by drawing a box around this whole thing. Let's see what it is Well, we're here. We'll group the whole thing control G We're at 91. So we'll say 92 by 41 Let's draw a box Go ahead and take off the aspect ratio luck We'll make this box 43 93 Select everything and we'll center them both Close this into my piece 92. This is outside piece 93. All right, cool I'm gonna select this box. We're gonna make a copy control C control V Now this box I want to represent my cut area. The first box is the entire thing So we'll shrink this down from 93 to 34 My cut area is 35 or 36 We'll just see how many pieces we can get out of here can we get three even pieces control C Control V. Oh, yeah, look at that. There's definitely good Control C control V. Let's check it. Oh Yeah That's that's great We can actually go a little smaller. Let's take this down to Let's get in between these circles. We'll take it down to 32 30 30 mark between the circles Select the control C control V Close control V. Oh, yeah, that works. All right, so 31 inches high So I'll put one at the top and at the bottom We'll get rid of this So I'll grab the outer box and The one in the middle we'll group them for now Now I'll grab this guy and the box Say a line top The line center of this big one in the bottom box We'll say a line bottom a line center. All right, great. We're gonna use these as reference points So let's go ahead and Control a for everything. We're gonna start at the top. So we'll move it down Put this in my cut area now, we're gonna have to add some registration marks So that when we move it, we'll know where the laser head actually is So to do that, we're gonna draw a little circle Draw a circle hold shift to keep the aspect ratio We're gonna lock the aspect ratio. I just want it half inch Let's zoom in so you can see my little circle. Now we're gonna add a line Quick draw a little line hold shift hit escape Get rid of the line tool. We'll select it. We also want this this point five Zoom in a little more Control C to copy control V to paste grab it and hold shift. So it turns on its axis every 45 Line them all up Align center line both vertical and horizontal do We'll group it. I will give this a different color. Let's say Blue All right, I'm gonna put one down here near this mark Let's just go ahead and group them all there together I'm gonna line my little point up right where they all intersect should snap there now control C to copy I'm gonna come over to this point now Control V to paste Snap into place Now we'll go down here to these These intersections control V to paste Snap in line And then over here Control V to paste That's pretty good snap into place share this one's lined up Yeah, that'll look good right now we're gonna ungroup this piece again Control you now we don't need this outer box. We don't need this one anymore we can delete it and now Inside here will ungroup everything ungroup see if it's ungrouped Yes All right These ungroups. Oops. Yep controls E. All right. So we're gonna select everything But this box is touching so we'll select this piece This foot the backer and this foot it catches just the corner of this foot Now that this is all selected and the black box is still on top. We'll select the black box the laser tools We'll go to tools Cut shapes or alt shift C cut shapes Now you see that it turned these It cut this like right down the center. It kind of sliced it It's sliced through this foot sliced through this foot sliced through the backer So I'm gonna group these and make them a different color for now So I'll be able to tell us for a minute Now I'm gonna take this box up here Do the same thing I'm gonna select this foot this foot and the backer and Then the box on top. I'm gonna go to tools cut shapes. Let's go ahead and make this Different color to Make this a darker blue Well, we're there. I'll group it control D All right, that should leave us this piece down here See if I just like them all and we'll group them All right, see how it cut right there just sliced right through everything All right, we got our three different pieces And we're gonna start by cutting this up top Now let's put all the colors back. So we'll grab this one Make it red Grab this bottom one Make it red Now these blue marks. I just want to engrave and I want to cut out the red pieces I want to engrave or score these blue marks These are my registration marks and I want to cut the red marks everything in the middle So I'm gonna come back and use these registration marks So let's get our board loaded and we're gonna cut our first section starting at the top My power for half inch plywood is Five millimeters per second at 50% power and my score settings are 150% speed and 22% power Actually, that's a little high. Let me go ahead and maybe it's 200. I just want to score it by Let's save this while we're here You know what? I decided I wanted to start at the bottom And pull it towards me. So I'm gonna control a Push everything at the top There I'm gonna do it this way Now when I pull it to me the registration marks will be closer to me. I'll be able to see him with the laser a little Yes, I'm gonna start from the bottom and pull my way to the top All right, let me go load my board Let me go load my board and we're going to cut this first piece This is our first cut and then you'll see that it makes the registration marks last. We're just scoring these I don't know why it didn't score the horizontal Registration yeah, sometimes it has a mind of its own, but that's okay dead I can we'll be here to help align it later And we just pull the board down so the registration marks are at the bottom of the cut bed And now we're gonna take this image and pull the image down so that those registration marks are now at the bottom Of the cut bed. They don't have to be in the same space That's what the print and cut feature does is helps align the image to the cut area And we're just gonna cut this middle section here What we're gonna do is move the laser head over to one of the registration marks or near it You know what? Let's start with the left registration mark move the laser head to the left side Now we're gonna move the laser head to the center of that registration mark that we just scored even though it's missing the horizontal line and This is because we want to teach the light burn software where the laser heads are going to be Now because it doesn't have that horizontal line Kim's gonna help me line this up right this this is a split screen So I'm on the other side of the laser bed. He can't exactly see if it's lined up So that's what I was doing was oh dead I was gonna help him line up that head and you'll see that the first pulse is close But not quite now I did bring the speed down to three millimeters per second so the laser head wasn't jumping around or moving too fast To try to line it up now again, we don't have a red laser pointer on this machine So we're gonna close it and just give it a quick pulse To see where the dot is actually landing inside those registration marks Now it looks like we're putting the laser head down onto the board. It's just that warped And it's just that left side that seems to be warped right So we wouldn't normally keep it that close in other areas. It's it's to the correct height The second pulse pretty close. I mean looking pretty dead on that's why I was there So let's go ahead and select this registration mark and we're gonna go up to laser tools Print and cut and we're gonna set that first target position Now let's go set the second target position We're gonna move the laser head all the way over to the second target again. I Brought the speed up so that we can move the head quickly, but now I'm gonna lower the speed back down to three millimeters per second So that it's not jumping around a little little smoother to move it Around inside that registration tiny movements tiny movements tiny solo movements are way better than Fast jumping Here you can see that the laser head is a little higher up and a better a better position the z-axis Yeah, it's because the left side is warped You gotta play the hand that stout you All right, we're gonna pulse this and see where that dot is landing inside the registration mark Now Kim's actually holding the camera for this pulse So you can't see where it's landing, but I saw that it was a little bit high It was huge Kim doesn't have very steady Sometimes we get a little distracted. I think some of us know about that All right, let's pulse this again, and we're gonna find out where this lands one more time I don't know what Kim is doing with the camera, but good luck. Good luck You're never gonna see if it landed inside But trust me it did so we're gonna grab that second registration point we're gonna go laser tools We're gonna set the second target Now we're gonna select everything that we want cut Including those bottom registration marks that have already been scored We want to go ahead and grab those again of the ones that we just set as targets I want to make sure you get both sides And now we also want to grab those second registration marks at the top So let's make sure we grab those too because we want to score both sets of registration marks this time So let's grab those Let's make sure I grab those things Now we're gonna go back to laser tools print and cut one more time, and then we're gonna align image to targets So any if this was off or a skew it should have just shifted the image that we're gonna send to the laser And you'll see that it is aligned because the bottom two Score marks or registration marks are now green. They have a green outline to them Let's go cut that second set. All right. These came out pretty good I mean that registration mark scored right over the other registration mark You could barely tell on the left side where those met On the right side. Yeah, it cuts perfectly. That is mostly I think if you were to if we would have had the horizontal Line in there so no exactly where it was. I think it would have been better. Yeah Now it's time to slide this board down so that those new registration marks are at the bottom of our cut bed And we're gonna slide the image down in lightburn to match And we're gonna move it on down so that those registration marks those last set of registration marks at the bottom of the cut area now And we're gonna move the laser to the left side again Third verse same as the second So this time we actually had the horizontal score mark So it was actually a little bit easier to move around and center We still have to pulse it and the left side was still pretty worked But it's dead center. So we're gonna grab that registration mark. We're gonna go to laser tools this time we're gonna reset the print and cut and now we're gonna go to laser tools and Set first target now. Let's go back and set second target just like we did before We have the registration mark now. It's gonna move the laser head and set The second registration mark on the laser So moving these moving the laser head to these x y coordinates and then going up to laser tools and setting these targets Is gonna let the lightburn software know Where the image actually lands On the laser and then it should send the correct coordinates correct cut coordinates To the laser All right everything is selected We're gonna align Align the image to the targets Align object to the targets We get our little green highlights around our things And we are good to go This print and cut feature is pretty amazing. Look at where that lined right up Here this lines up with the last cut. Bam. Look at that Though you can see where it went over the registration mark again perfect And you can barely tell where they met or the two lines met. Well, I think that's mostly charring I mean, it really does leave a smooth surface Yeah, they're right on top of each other And I used almost all of the board. Look at that And for the second cuts we made we used our one inch down We cut 12 five and a half inch pieces and two one and a half inch pieces Step three assembly we're gonna make the easy feet We're gonna glue three of these feet together Making them an inch and a half thick We're gonna use that wood glue and we're gonna roll it on to make sure that there is consistent adhesion All throughout the whole side of this foot Then we're gonna add a dowel rod through the holes on either side of the slot Firming up each foot that way there won't be any wiggle and it keeps them perfectly aligned when they're put together Once the easy feet are dry We're simply going to slide the backer Into the feet now both the top of the feet and the bottom of the backer have a fanned out inlet That will help you slide them in place You know, you could get all of our files behind the scene content and even a Kim and Garrett after dark podcast As well as monthly zoom calls access to a secret facebook group And we'll even send you one of these fancy t-shirts all for $20 a month. It's the best way to support this channel So join us over at patreon.com Step forward and now we have the exits Just putting these dowels these one inch dowels into the slots And you are adding the shelves We're just using them to add Maybe a sign or we can hang them using these little hooks This is it all put together now If you don't have a large laser and you can't use the pastor feature like we did for our half inch plywood We do offer this kit in our store starting this weekend This kit comes with the back panel a set of easy feet four shelves and 12 pegs Look at the height of this this thing This is perfect because we can actually zip tie this for the top of our tent that it gets too windy Use the tent for an anchor that was by design All right, well, we are about out of time so if you're not going to join us for the patreon after show We will see you next week or we'll do it building and make it again And I don't really want to balance anything. I kind of like how it looks right here. I'll leave it alone
