too bad they don't ship to Canada. I've been looking for an alternative for a long time.

Hello everyone,

I have been casually posting in the laser engraving section of this website, but this marks my first thread post outside of that realm.

The reason is, I already own a Laser...

Hi guys,

I tried looking for a previous post about this, but I couldn't find the information I was looking for.

Is MDF core plywood easier to laser cut than veneer core? I am looking to get...

Thank you for your suggestion Gary. Just so I am clear, this means I will have to laser once, fill in with power paint while the piece is in the bed, then engrave again?
Also, what kind of powder...

Bert, I tried doing that. I even tried going much more than that. It doesn't seem to do much difference. Maybe the wood is just not dense enough to burn good.

Thanks Mike. I will see if I can find some here in Canada. I appreciate the link.

Hey guys,

I've been doing a lot of testing trying to find the best way to engrave light woods (like ash) with a good contrast. I have a client who makes ash cutting boards/cheese boards. Although...

I've set up a camera for my 3D printer, then eventually moved it to my laser. I'm going to move it back to the laser and put it on a flat screen above the laser. Thanks for that link Paul. Great...

The HDF table you made looks pretty cool John, have you posted any plans or more pictures of these tables?

Bert, I think David is right in that regard. The clean (un-engraved) materials can easily wipe off after engraving, but it's the engraved letters/numbers that are getting contaminated.

David,...

I hope everyone is doing great!

I'm trying to get some lamacoid (aka lamicoid or engraving stock) to properly engrave. I have bought some trotec engraving stock (almost $100 a sheet) but I am not...

Thank you all for your replies. I look forward to posting what I will make, in a few weeks.

Hi everyone,

I'm in search of room dividers, also known as paravans, that we can laser cut. I can't find anything on this website, maybe I missed an old thread?

i am looking for the actual...

Thank you very much for all your help. I think I like the coroplast idea. They're made to hold in the weather. I will ask the customer to make a simple 2x4 frame to hold up the letters.

Thanks...

Hey guys,

I got a request to laser cut the word "JOY" with the nativity scene inside the O.
My table size is 600mm x 900mm, so I'm going to pretty much cut each letter to the max size I can.
...

Great, Thanks a lot Real Mercier, Makes it much easier that way!

Mohammed

Great Thanks!

I think I got it to work.

Is there a special macro for this?

Hi everyone,

Its been a long time since I posted anything here because I sold my old laser 2 years ago, and just received my new Shenhui 100W 9060!

Anyways, I'm trying to find a way to avoid...

hey Dee,

that could happen. but what happens is when i ask the laser to engrave the last file, it make the exact same error again, so it has to do something with the data thats being engraved....

alright, so here is whats going on.

its 100% not hardware.

i was working on the actual mirror, and it actually did it on it as well! so, i wanted to see if it was the file that was sent the...

here is the one that happened yesterday, this might help clarify what the problem is.

its just a scrap mirror, so dont mind the holes in it.

its supposed to be a rectangular box around the...

it doesnt happen all the time, it just happens every once in a while. it happened about a month ago, i didnt know what the reason was, i just reset the machine and it never happend again until...

hey guys,

this happened twice before i decided to tape down the mirror, i thought the air assist was shifting the mirror around. but after taping the mirror down, i found that the machine itself...

thank you both!

that's exactly what i needed!

hello everyone,

i was wondering if anyone has figured out how to convert to DPI from the known 'interval (mm)' setting with the RDCAM software.

thanks!
