Laser Store

Almanaq uses laser cutting to create some of our puzzle products. While our puzzle designs are proprietary, we will be selling some of the subsidiary things we use to create our products, such as fonts, in the future. In the meantime, here are some free designs which may be useful.

No Crumbtray Tool (FREE Digital design for Glowforge)

This tool is useful for making items when a Glowforge crumbtray is removed, which you must do to make items taller than 1/2" high. If you cut it out of 3/16" or thicker acrylic, it will stand up on its own. There are two versions:

If you are not going to paint the lines or want to paint the front, DOWNLOAD HERE
If you want to paint the back,

Clear or transparent yellow acrylic is recommended.

Using. Remove the crumbtray and set the tool on the floor of your Glowforge. The window shows the focus area of the laser. Put whatever you need underneath your item so the surface is within the window. Make sure that nonoe of your material is above the top of the arm that sticks out to the right, or it will get hit by the laser head. Use the measurement markings on the window or Set Focus to set your focus height.

Making. To cut on a Glowforge, the first two colors are engrave colors (they are separate in case you want the positive numbers engraved deeper), the middle color is scoring, and the last two colors are cutting. All but the score color should be setup automatically.
