No design software required! Using a black pen and copy paper, write or draw your design. Make it as big or as small as you like - you can resize it in the Glowforge App. Here's a tip: High contrast designs produce best results so we recommend using a black marker on white copy paper

Open your Glowforge and place your design in the center of the bed. It doesn't have to be super precise, but for best results, aim for the center so the camera gets the best view. Then, in the Glowforge App, use the trace feature to make a digital copy of your design. We go into more detail about the trace feature in our feature tutorials

Remove The Crumb Tray

If your macarons are more than 0.5" tall (let's face it; all good macarons are!) you'll need to take out the crumb tray to create more room under the laser head. With the tray installed, the maximum engrave height is 0.5". Remove it, and you can fit things up to 2" tall inside your Glowforge.
