🧠 Pro Tip: How to Use Fancy Font Glyphs in LightBurn & XCS
If you’ve ever wanted to use those fancy swirly font glyphs in xTool Creative Space or LightBurn, this video is your new best friend.
We show you:
-
How to download and use the Character Map app (free!)
-
How to find the alternate characters (aka glyphs)
-
How to copy/paste them right into your design
Spoiler: It works exactly the same in LightBurn and Creative Space.
No extra software. No frustration. Just extra flair.
🔪 Cutting & Engraving Setup Tips
We share all our tricks in the video, including:
-
Why you should leave the masking on the back of your acrylic
-
How to use white paper for perfect focus
-
Why mirroring your design is a must (yep, we forgot one the first time 😅)
-
How to position everything in Creative Space for clean alignment
This isn’t just a tutorial — it’s a walkthrough of what to do AND what not to do.
🌼 UV Printing & Sticker Hacks
We downloaded wildflower PNGs from Adobe Stock and printed them using our UV DTF printer. The result? Bright, detailed, no-mess florals that go on clean and smooth.
If you don’t have a UV printer, don’t stress — we’re offering the sticker sets separately so you can still make this gift with a clean, professional look.
🧩 Easy Assembly, Gorgeous Results
Assembly on this project is quick and foolproof:
-
Apply flower stickers above each name
-
Pop your acrylic into the LED base
-
Flip the switch and cue the “aww”s
We tested both front and back engraving — and spoiler: the white sticker backing looks extra nice when it’s on the front.
