my design on laser workv6, quiltmaker cura
my first design was so complicated that has many over lines, but the lab specialist helps me in it by deleting overlap.
I learned how to set the laser cutter and 3D Printer, it seems cool and quite easy.
it gonna help me in how to set the machine to use it safely and correctly.
