Summary
Briefly describe what you made and why
Cover
Please make sure that the cover fully displays your finished product, not only the process. The aspect ratio of the image should be 332*249 to suit our layout. When cropping photos, try to place the work in the center of the frame.
You can add more exquisite images and GIF images to increase the attractiveness of the files
Introduction
The introduction needs to include a project introduction and a finished product display.
What's the story behind your project? Its uses?
Images
Please make sure to upload high-quality images. A clean background is essential to creating an attractive design file.
Supported File formats: JPG/JPEG/PNG/GIF/HEIC
Maximum File Size: 15M
Design Files
Please upload the XCS file so that everyone can open the files directly.
Please use XCS2.0 to create XCS format files
If you are in SVG format, you can convert the format through XCS software
Supported file formats: xcs,dxf,svg,bmp,zip,text,pdf and more
.xcs files recommended for auto-filling machine and settings.
Maximum File Size: 50M
Difficulty Level
There are three options: Beginner、Intermediate、Professional
These three levels are for the user's reference and choice of file difficulty.
Please enter the processing time + assemble time for your project(measured in minutes)
Tag
You provide tags for the project so more users can find your files more easily
Detailed Steps
Every design file needs to have clear assembly steps, each step will guide the user on how to operate, and upload clear step-by-step pictures
No illegal words or phrases in the step-by-step guide, such as pornography, obscenity, political tendency, violence and abuse, etc.
To make the instructions more comprehensive, it's essential to add step titles and step images for each step.
(The step imaged must be under 15M)
When adding new machine parameters in multiple steps, you have the option to add settings.
If all steps involve only one type of machine parameter setting, there is no need to include them.
Machine parameters
Providing machine parameters is very crucial for the user. This helps the user to better engrave design files
If multiple processing methods/laser modules are involved, please write the settings separately.
Once you have finished uploading all the content, you can save it as a draft by clicking the 'Save' button.
You can then preview your work by selecting the 'Preview' option to view the preview page.

A Few Don'ts
Poor cover images
Directly upload the software screenshot as the cover.
Not showing the whole finished product (i.e., certain parts out of the frame, or hidden behind other objects)
blurred lens, or captured in a dark environment.
The finished product is obviously off-center, or not cropped properly.
Oversimplified steps
We love details! One or two steps aren't enough. And don't forget: we need photos for every step.
3.Write the setting in the wrong place
Let's keep it obvious and uniform, so please type these in our built-in template for parameter setting.
The steps are too jumpy.
Incorrect or missing files
Ensure you upload the correct .xcs files.
5.Repeated Posts:
Please share your project only once. Please do not upload the same project
Tips:
When you share your project, please don't forget to improve your personal information. The rich profile can also make users interested in your design files
