A Beginner’s Guide to Your New Loklik Machine

What I Wish I Knew on Day One

When you first unbox a Loklik cutting machine, it’s exciting — but it can also feel a little overwhelming. There are tools you’ve never used before, materials you’re not sure how to handle, and settings that don’t always behave the way you expect. I remember that feeling so clearly, and it’s exactly why I started putting together step‑by‑step guides to help new makers get comfortable faster.

Over in the HTVRONT Community, I’ve been sharing a full series that walks you through the tools, techniques, and materials that make the biggest difference when you’re just getting started. These posts break everything down in a simple, practical way so you can avoid the trial‑and‑error I went through and jump straight into creating with confidence.

Below, you’ll find links to each part of the series. Whether you’re learning how to use the Deep‑Point Blade, working with bonded fabric, experimenting with EVA foam, or exploring foiling and scoring, these guides are designed to help you understand why things work the way they do — not just how to do them.

- Part 2: Advanced Materials & Techniques

Each post lives inside the HTVRONT Community, where makers can learn together, ask questions, and share their projects. I’m grateful to contribute there, and I hope these guides make your creative journey smoother, easier, and a whole lot more fun.

As you continue learning your Loklik Cutting Machine 2 (iCraft), having all of these guides in one place makes it easier to grow your skills at your own pace. This page will stay updated as new installments are added, so feel free to bookmark it and check back anytime you want to revisit a technique or explore something new. The HTVRONT Community posts linked above go into each topic in detail, and they’re a great place to learn alongside other makers who are on the same journey.
