Thanks, Kev! You confirmed that I should be able to duplicate it well enough with a non-mopa.
Yeah, it's really hard to take pictures of highly reflective things.
I still haven't ordered another...

Hmm... focus? lens need cleaning? have you tried moving the piece to a different area in the engraving field? different make-up of the material? The only time I had temperature affect engraving...

Here's a picture. There's nothing really remarkable about it... to me it looks like a white etching, but sometimes it has a gold look to it in certain lighting.
I think it could be sort...
I have a MOPA 30 watt. To increase production and to have as a backup, I'd like to get a non-MOPA 100 watt, so I can do deep engraving faster, etc.
I am using 2000s 40p 68freq and 200Q to get...
I don't know, but I'm interested in any answers, too.
As far as the coins, maybe you can cut them faster with less power/heat, and more passes?
Ok, it's working now, and here's what I did. I never did find a setting that was changed in the program.
I made another copy of EZcad2 from the backup (just copied and pasted the program). I can...
Thanks, Kev, for your reply!
I was thinking it is a software glitch, and I'm still not sure.
I bought an additional lens, and I put that lens in tonight. It uses a different installation of...

Hi SMC folks! We received our US-assembled Chinese-built M6 MOPA 30 watt last Thursday. I had some good beginners luck, got a very nice black mark (phooey, didn't write the settings down!). Now I...
I thought I replied, but must not have clicked the right submit button.
Thanks for your suggestions! I'll check into Corian, and the granite idea could work, just have to think how to mount it.
A friend wants a small (maybe 4"x6" or so) memorial sign that will be placed with a stake near grave plots. I plan to use a spray marking compound on stainless, but if there's a recommended black...
Use posterboard! Walmart sells a black posterboard with a white core. They may have other colors with a different core, but I keep black on hand to test a design before etching on black granite or...
Thanks, Joe and Ross.
I dye subbed the Sublicrylic with a cute baby photo with white lettering, just to make absolutely sure it wouldn't turn clear. That way, I have a sample of a cute baby...
Hi everybody,
I have a very short deadline to do an executive award. It needs to be mailed out Friday 28th! People usually don't give enough time for unusual requests.
I need to put a...
I have had the Ricoh Gx7000 Gel printer 13x19 for a few years now, and it is the one that has the problem that it shuts down after non-use or old ink, dead. I had bought a warranty, and they sent me...
I think you would be right; not cost effective to use on a 3D printer. These were just $1.99 at Laserbits. I wonder if I can find a stiff backing sheet stock and cut it myself? And forego the...
Thanks for the suggestion, Bill. I don't think it will work; it looks like the plastic tinted shield is a separate piece. And it looks flexible. The now-unavailable backings are flat and stiff,...
Al, Nancy replied to me that they do not have any items like that. I did see one for a cargo trailer, but the backing isn't flat.
Glen, I saw those, but those appear to be a frame with a...
Thanks for the suggestions, Al!
Laserbits replied that they don't know who carries it.
I have been looking through your links, and can't find it. I found something similar, but it wasn't...
Hi Creekers,
I have been buying black plastic license tag backings/frames from Laserbits. They no longer sell them!!! I can't find them ANYWHERE.
Acrylic fits nicely inside the frame, and...
THANKS, everybody!
I am going to engrave a couple of samples, and leave the mark up to the customer. But I will tell him about the Extreme Sharpie, china pencils, and Deco markers.
The...
A customer wants me to make some signage, with engraver's laminated plastic.
He wants me to engrave a white rectangle on the sign, which the installer will fill in a number on the job site with a...
Great! Thanks, Joe! I'll look for it.
I've searched and can't find a definitive answer.
I want to glue small and large pieces of laser cut mirrored acrylic onto a larger piece of mirrored acrylic.
It's for a license plate that...
You were missed! There's a thread somewhere here, wonderin' where you were.
Glad you've been busy!
