Well done Stan, what a great idea, hope it works well for you
Sorry to hear this Keith, hope you are much recovered now
Hi all,
I have a problem with Lasercut software not communicating with one of my lasers as per the following screenshot, any suggestions would be gratefully received. Perhaps I need to re-download...
Hi folks, been a very long time since I was last on the forum. Does anyone in the UK know where I can bulk source round slate coasters with felt backing. I have just used up a box I had in stock, for...
Thanks Bert
:)
This was a desperation “Jig” :)
The part had to be held 1.5’ off the table, resting on a spear point end with multiple angles. Tried all my usual stuff, including a heap of putty and could not...
I had this very difficult, large, item to try and laser engrave, trying to set up jigs to hold it was a nightmare. This idea suddenly popped into my head, someone else may find this useful at some...
I use both these programs. I have only ever exported and imported as dxf as the plug in never worked for me in previous versions either. I always covert text to curves first and reduce nodes before...
Thanks Doug, I use sticks to transfer data to my lasers and CNC’s, so connectivity is not an issue. The other Microsoft based program I use is Vectric software, which works fantastically, no crashes,...
I have a love-hate relationship with CD. I think it is great, but hate the issues I have, compounded by lack of help from CD itself. I long for a native Apple/Mac version of CD.
I use Adobe...
Hi Mark, it was the possibility of optical distortion. I have done the masks now, so will sand blast this afternoon.
Thanks and regards, John
HI Roger, may I ask what wood preservative you use on your bare wood, as in the border of the “Pineoaks” sign above? Is it also acrylic based?
Thanks very much, John
Thanks to both of you. Much appreciated
I have a “vertical wedge” of crystal to sandblast a large amount of text and a logo onto.
Reverse engraved optical crystal is stunning, especially when using multiple layers. The problem I have is...
Thanks to all who have answered. I will stick with CD right now but will have a play with Serif’s Affinity Designer (when I actually manage to find the time).
All your input is much appreciated. ...
Thank you Steve and Mike, coming from the two of you, I will call that solid advice. Much appreciated.
Kind Regards, John
Hi All,
I would not want to start a Ford or Chevy debate here (Land Rover or Toyota debate if you are in Africa) :)
I have used CD for years now, currently on CD 2017. I use an iMac with...
Most eye-catching and informative. Superb Sign. Thank you Roger for posting these pictures
Shouldn’t think so, unless there was a lead based paint involved or some other form of treatment, such as pesticides. If your extraction is up to scratch....
Kind Regards, John
Looking forward to seeing the end result David. Would an epoxy filer help in the radial splits I wonder?
Thank you Roger, that sure is a compliment, coming from you.
Hi Mel,
The open sign stretched my abilities no end.... ;) I have a run of signs in the next few weeks so was going to do a little extra ‘open’ sign for these folks using the left-overs, no skin off...
Thanks Keith.
The sign post is from the previous sign and was concreted in, simply repainted, so no changing angles. Funily enough, it stands out more in the picture than in real life.
The son of...
I don’t get to post very often due to time constraints, so thought I would pop up a couple of pictures of a recent sign I did: Two sheets of foam laminated together with a sheet of 3mm stainless...
