 Like a basketball What is up a welcome back do it to do a builder to make it so do we and we have new videos each week every Tuesday and Friday If I had a nickel for every time somebody asked us how do you make a laser cut box? I would have exactly 25 cents But how easy are they that but one we're gonna gather all of our supplies You can use anything to make one of these little boxes with we have acrylic We have some eighth inch plywood Some quarter inch plywood. I think yeah Of course we have quarter inch MDF that's our go-to So you mean you can make it out of anything, but whatever you pick you got to be able to measure it with some calipers So what are we doing it out of babe? I Want to do it out of the like wood green here over here. So it's Birch this birch. All right. Just gonna use the calipers to check the actual Measurement well, that's a millimeters. Hold on. All right, so this is actually Point one two four Great now we know Step two we're gonna go make our box We're going to start making our box here at makercase.com This is a free website where you can make different types of boxes. You can see up here just a few options We're gonna do a simple box today And then I want this one to be tall and skinny So I'm gonna do it four and a half by eight the depth is also going to be four and a half I want an image on the outside So I'm going to make these the inside dimension So I'll know I have enough room on the outside for the pattern. I want to cut out here Material thickness. So this is why we use the calipers. We're gonna put in our custom thickness Which was point one two four Yeah We're going to do a closed box and then we are going to do so what you're seeing here are The flat Joe edge joints, we're gonna do the finger edge joints. This is kind of what we demoed in the beginning Well, that way it's a whole lot easier put together. I don't have to try to line them up and glue it and then You can see you can change the size Size of your image and move it all around Right now it is at about an inch for the finger joint that seems that looks about right to me, right? Okay, we're gonna leave it at an inch and say download box plans That looks great We do not need the panel labels. We're gonna disable those. That's just guess Figure it out Gonna get crazy with it. We do not need to change the line formatting We're gonna leave the colors as is the width line as is and we do not need to change the curve We're gonna do zero or none for cut composition type and Now we're just gonna download SVG Now we're gonna take this over to Lightburn, but before we do I'm gonna go get a pattern, right? Yeah, you want to get a rapid pattern now All right, so let's start here in Canva our last couple of videos We've really shown you some of the cool things that canva can do We're gonna show you something new in this video. First of all, did anyone see this? I love this trail and the stars. I really am just so trippy. I'm so distracted by it. I love it All right, we are gonna stick with the 18 by 24 poster level poster Who I made it vertical. I don't think it matters doesn't matter We're gonna go to our elements and then we're gonna type in Laser cut in all caps. That's right yell at it Here this is what I'm looking for these panels right here, so if I click on one Magic recommendation says hey, I have lots of these if you want to choose from these Look at all of these great patterns that you could put right on the side of your box And I think I mean I guess I'm just gonna stick with the one that's here. I like that Yeah, I mean it's flowery looking What size am I working with if you go up to position? Position Five by nine. It's a little big, but I can adjust it after I download it. All right, so from here We're gonna click share and We're going to download I'm gonna download it as an SVG The little crown shows that you have to have the pro account, but definitely the pro account is worth it We're gonna keep it with a transparent background and click download All right, now we're gonna go over to light burn and Import the two things we just created So up here on our toolbar. This is the import icon I'm gonna go to my downloads and I'm gonna download the box one that I just did Here I can right click and I'm gonna ungroup these they're already grouped And they're already groupies. Yeah, they're already a bunch of groupies. Oh, I got those pretty darn tight Alright, so these are not gonna fit on one board the tops and the bottoms, but we can go ahead and do our thing with them before Before we get out of here. All right, and now I need to import my image It's my design this is also grouped so The thing about this is right now I can make this a little smaller So that it fits on here. Is that too big? Should I give it just a little more room? To five maybe I do Flat for room on the sides Okay, all right, I like that now The thing I can see here is that this image has a square frame on the outside So if I cut it as is then the whole middle is just going to be cut out So I need to right-click and ungroup this and then I want to take this outside frame and Delete that now the image will be cut out of the panel But I need to go back and group it all again control G now I can control D Will duplicate it holding my shift key. I want to drag it to the next panel control D duplicate shift and drag control D Shift and drag And now I'm going to center each one of these on their panel by using this bullseye up here align both vertical and horizontal centers So that's good That's good. That's good This one. All right, do you think that's a little close to the edge? You're about to lose control I'm about to lose control if I fall it off the edge All right, so the other thing I want to do with this box like we showed you with the jack-o-lanterns in the beginning Is that I'm going to make a lid and a base for it? And it's and it could be Here you can see that maker case has created us a lid that's going to fit down and be flush with the top and the bottom But I want them to have the top and the bottom to have a lip on the outside Just get a little lippy gonna get a little lippy. All right, so I'm going to create a Box here. I'm going to hold shift and draw my box Oh Let me go back to my arrow And it needs to come around the lid here And what am I at four seven five so I want this one to be Five and a half. I guess it's about right, huh? Probably five A Whole half inch you want a quarter inch all the way around? Well, that's a half inch all the way here I think uh being that tall it's going to need a little A little something needs to look like it's definitely wearing a hat at that tall And you want a whole half inch so once you divide it around the edges It'll actually be like a quarter inch all the way around No, it's going to be a half on either side and a half on the top and the bottom I think we'll see we'll see how half inches. I mean we can always adjust it So I need to center these Now the next thing I'm going to do is duplicate this And I'm going to make it the same size as the box on the inside, right? Uh, yeah, so grab the measurements of the inside box Which is okay control c Go to this box control v Align the two of them you want to align the big box and the small box The the two inside boxes that's right just the big box and the one small box you just made Align these two. Yeah. Oh perfect now minus Now I'm going to cut this out of the big box, right? Yeah So minus front Now I've got Now it's basically a frame a square frame with an open inside And then I have this one and I need to merge all these together Okay, so what he's saying is now We need to make this part of that. So I've got to grab all of them. Yep Give it a little bullseye first boolean union, right? Oh Yep Okay, I think I did How about this one? Yeah, well doll Nope, that's not what I want Well, let me make sure I cut so it's important to yeah, that was my front What's that? Minus the front you got to grab the big box. Yeah, then the small box Okay now minus There you go Now it should be okay. Is it because I didn't select them in the proper order? Yes The second gets subtracted from the first. Yes, the second one selected gets subtracted from the first one All right, so if I go back and now and do boolean union, that's what you're okay. Yeah, there you go There we go Okay, so what we did here is now these finger joints that'll be sticking up from the top of this Will fit down inside the openings that we just created for the lid and we're going to just copy and paste this for the base, right? I don't need this one. Yeah, you can get rid of that little guy. All right Just control g is already one thing, right? Yeah, should be all one. So control d duplicate I think just turn everything red Control a select everything And put it all on the o2 the red layer the cut layer Step three We're going to make all of our cuts We're going to bring this piece of scrap over to the x tool p2 and we'll cut it out But first we're going to stop back into life burn and update our cut settings Now we're going to make our settings our cut settings here So we're going to for the p2 that you can see is connected down here We're going to use 25 millimeters per second at 100 power Next we're going to select everything we want cut. I want to drag from the bottom right to the top left This is everything and we're going to cut this first pass and click start Now I don't know if you noticed in the first clip We didn't cut through properly. These two line up perfectly This one does not that one's it was thinking outside the box So we use the blade bed, which is great because all the little pieces will drop to the bottom I could just dump them out But the downside to that is some of these are kind of long So what happened is it partially dropped down But left a little piece of it sticking up and the laser head caught it and dragged the whole board So we're going to swap out the blade bed for the honeycomb bed And now everything will lay perfectly flat and nothing will catch the laser head You got to kind of keep an eye on that Yeah Assembly we're just going to snap this thing together. It's like a puzzle now. It's got all these little tabs We'll just start with the bottom, I guess Put that on the bottom Yeah Oh, so this is the wrong one. You got to make sure you line them up all the finger joints line up. I think it's this side Oh, I still don't even have the right one. No, it's not that way. That's the ugly side out Oh, that's ugly side out I'll throw the top on. I'm going to start with a hay corner Everything together. It's so fun when we just do it all together From the bottom fits so easy. There we go. There we go You can glue it not glue it you can screw it You can slap it up flip it and rub it down. You can stain it not stain it Paint it spray paint it. There's so many ideas. All right. Well for real for ideas I wanted to share that you can make this even smaller. There's so many different things that you can do with these You can use these as the jack-o-lanterns like we started with or in this case This is a nice lantern or it could be a serving column. You can have a party and maybe put serving trays on there There are so many different things you can do pizza You can make it smaller and actually put a cut a little hole out of the inside and then another little frame and actually make it like a pencil holder or You could gift some candy canes and a little pencil holder So there's just so many different things that you can do with a box rather than you know Maybe it has a lid. Maybe it doesn't have a lid has a lip. It doesn't have a lip. So They it is really easy to do There are so many things that you can actually do with this box technology What are you going to make with a box? Or what have you made? There's just so many different types of things I wanted you to think outside the box. Yeah, let us know down below big thanks to all of our patrons We love you guys a little hanger fam a little hanger fam So we have a bunch of good stuff happening over on patreon. We have illustrator techniques We have light burn techniques We even have a little bit of artificial intelligent techniques over there a little class last night So we are about out of time So if you're not going to join us for the patron after show Or kimit garret after dark is what I like to call it We will see you on tuesday where we'll do it building and make it again And again, we'll see you next friday too I'm just gonna go right for the middle balance Ooh, should I spin it like a basketball?
