Information

      Original file came from LaserBuildLab done on an M1.  I did these light boxes on my F1. It was a learning experience, to say the least. Started with the recommended size 1/8" basswood (plywood) large sheets. BTW, basswood is NOT interchangeable with plywood (different material and settings). I cut them down to a more manageable size. If you have a smaller bed than the large flat machines like the M1 just purchase the 12"x12" sheets. Then I selected layers in Studio and selected shapes that would fit on my 8"x8" bed. Next it was some testing to go from the M1 settings to what would work on my F1.
