I supplied some 'single stroke' fonts to someone on the forum some time ago but can't remember who. I'm not sure if I can find them again myself as that particular hard drive was lost some time ago....

I have a huge collection of vector .cdr Coats of Arms in colour (Scots/Irish/Anglo & some European), some good some not so. For the clan crests I always preferred a scanned in version from old...

As Doug Griffith has already tested 3-form it doesn't sound as if it's worth following up purely on price alone. One thing though, the samples I have are only 1/16th". Precisely why it interested me...

I used photo polymer some years ago to make hot foil stamps (using the correct developing method). When I aquired my laser I tried to engrave it with limited success. It melted back into the design...

My daughter-in-law in Ontario who is a designer in the architectural industry gave me a couple of samples of 3-form sheet on my recent visit. It's a resin material on 3 layers with designs/patterns...

John,

MUTR, as you quoted on the recent Maplex question by me is a supplier of 4mm baltic birch here in the UK.

I've also sent you a mail with further information.

Craig,
Thanks for the link - I remembered I'd been there before. There's not much information regarding laser cutting but it's certainly informative. If it is easily cuttable it will certainly give...

Mike,
I found the reference to maplex at http://www.mutr.co.uk/catalog/product_info.php?products_id=1422 but I have ordered some from ebay.co.uk because carriage costs are extortionate for small...

I've just discovered this material described as the perfect sheet material for laser cutting. It's made from super-compressed maple wood fibre by a company in Vermont.

I've ordered a few sheets...

Could it possibly be that engraving plastic was once sold as "Traffolyte" ? - an easy mistake to make.

I've come accross this now and again. I selected one curve and move it a set distance to the right or left using the transformation tool. Repeat on each part until a complete image has been moved and...

Let me have your email address and I will send them to you.

For other members - I've had these fonts requested several times.

Is there a way to make them available on the forum?

Berry Basket files are usually in .pdf format and can consist of several pages, some text and some with parts of the drawings.

To import into Corel use the 'Import' from the file menu and select...

Michael,

Great idea - the simple ones are the best. I'll give it a try.

George,
I have a few single stroke fonts I could send you. Install, type, convert to curves and vector cut.

Dave,
Don't know if you're familiar with the Berry Basket drawings but they are supplied in .pdf format and they can be imported into Corel as vectors more or less ready for cutting with the main...

The Berry Basket has many very good patterns but when it comes to a complex drawing on 2 separate pages that need to be merged into one drawing for vector cutting I usually manage to do it but not...

Thanks for the replies. Mine's an older ULS C200 and well out of warranty. I would also prefer to DIY rather than a retro fit system and I think I was on the right track as confirmed by Joe. Just...

My machine has no facility for connecting an air assist. I've just aquired a new silent air compressor for another purpose but it would be a bonus if I could rig up a system on the engraver as well....

Ray,
You mention that you are unable to cut a vector around a rose. I assume that you are aware that for vector cutting your line width must be .0001" or a hairline (in other words the narrowest...

I would say that they were done with a Turbocarver or one of the close relatives - see www.turbocarver.com or - there is also an SMC machine as well.

I have the Turbocarver machine but I must...

Came accross this site yesterday - http://www.technologysupplies.co.uk/laser_projects1.htm - there's a few interesting little original projects for anyone, especially beginners, who want to make some...

If you simply want to increase the darkening a little more than normal - run the engraving out of focus by up to 1/4" either way.

A little experimenting at different focal lengths sometimes...

Great for us to be able to share ornaments but I'm sure many like myself use an older version of Corel and have no need to upgrade for any other reason than to be able to read files from others.

[QUOTE=Shaddy Dedmore]That's what I was saying was good, they're alread in vector format. It's a HUGE (93 pages) PDF file. You Open it in Corel and save it as a CDR. I ungroup the pages and copy the...
