What I expected when receiving the machine, was to have some simple examples to try out, like a name plate for carving, and small flower pot to print, the dice to do the laser carving.
In the end, you have made this during your advertisement, so somehow you should have these items coded in some kind of software right?
Sorry if I am wrong and I might not understand this all.
