Step 1
Remove the crumb tray from your Glowforge, as with this in your machine your doormat will be positioned too high up to work on.

Step 2

Test the size of your mat inside your machine. You will need to make sure that the parts of your machine can move freely with the mat inside.

 

The mat we used in this project was originally 60cm wide, so we cut approximately 3cm off with strong scissors to make it fit.

Step 3

When we removed the crumb tray, we found that the mat was positioned a little lower than desired. We used some sheets of Glowforge material to bump up the height.

 

Top Tip: Check the height, as the top of the mat needs to be at 1 ½ to 2 inches below the laser to allow it to work efficiently. You will get an error message if the height is not correct.

Step 4
Choose all the elements of your design, including any motifs and fonts, and resize them and position them as desired.
Step 5
Adjust the settings before proceeding in creating your personalised doormat, you can view what we selected below.

Step 7
Stand back and watch the magic the magic happen whilst your Glowforge creates your design.
Step 8
