Information

      Every year I am looking up what can be seeded and when I might be able to harvest it. Oh and wait what's the recommended spacing between individual plants?
Time to write it down, but with lasers!

Open the `.xcs` file in xTool Creative Space. There are two canvases

  • Template
    The raw template you might want to modify for your own elements
  • Examples
    Some example plants to get an idea of how it might look like in the end

There is only one canvas which holds the design.

All elements on the green layer should be adapted by you, such as the title, the plant distance, sprouting and harvesting duration.

 

Year overview

Below the month abbreviations there are two rows, the first one for seeding, the second one for harvesting. 

To adjust the time, you simply delete the seeding overlays you don't want to have as well as switch from “Score” to “Engrave” for the harvesting time frame.

Step3: Laser engrave

Start the engraving process. I used the metall business cards as they are more durable than the plywood I would normally use.
