Here are a few tips!
Tip: After you press print in the app, watch your cutting area to see if anything shifts. If it does, check that everything is still lined up properly! If it’s not, cancel the print, fix it, and then click print again!

Tip: When using the Passthrough slots to make something larger than 12" long, use a combo of set thickness, and set focus and check the printing area after you click print but before you press the teal button!

Tip: When painting the hat with the engraving, so long as you drag your foam brush over the wood, you likely won’t fill the engraing in with the paint and you’ll still be able to see the black engraving! Just be careful not to push into the engravings with the foam brush!

Tip: When painting the pumpkin, if you end up with any paint inside the engraved lines, just use a toothpick or something sharp to scrape out the paint from the engraving.

Tip: Use magnets to connect the pumpkin AND the hands to your gnome so you can change what the gnome is holding for different seasons.
