270 LPI (DPI) engrave at 40% gives a warm medium-brown mark without burning through. For darker marks increase power to 55%. The Glowforge App's 'Draft' engrave setting uses 270 LPI — use 'SD' for 225 LPI or 'HD' for 450 LPI on detailed artwork.

Glowforge Pro cuts 3mm basswood cleanly at full power. Use Proofgrade Medium Basswood settings as a starting point — they're pre-calibrated for the Pro's 45W tube. Non-Proofgrade sheets vary in density, so run a test cut at the edge of your sheet first.

"Used it with a Glowforge — engraved beautifully with no changes. I will be purchasing more digital downloads from this shop."

Anna

★★★★★

"I was struggling with lining up my NFC business cards. I was able to not only line them up much better but also do multiple cards at once — making that job so much easier."

Camp

★★★★★

"Excellent quality and design. Cut clean and neat!"

LYNN

Bruce

★★★★★

"Excellent quality. Item as described. Expectations exceeded."

Michael

★★★★★

"This template made my slate coasters so much easier. 4×4 coasters from Michaels drop in easily and are easy to remove. Def worth it."
