Oh your going to love it

I just want to make sure my brain processed the visual information correctly… haha! Did you speed up the recording during the engraving process?

Thank you so much for your quick response! unfortunately, it is an xcs file format which I cannot/do not know how to open in lightburn

Sorry I am a total newbie on Light Burn. I just started using it last week so I am slowly figuring it out but have a lot to learn

Import using XCS and export as an SVG

Great video. Thanks. Curious what the reason is to focus on the board and if it matters where you start the kaser to do so or if you just need to place and start it anywhere on the board?

The laser can't see the top of the clear acrylic the beam on 450 NM passes right through so by focusing on the board we are tricking it a bit and its engraving on the back side of it because it can focus and hit the board or paper no problem and since they are so close where the are in contact with each other it works-Hope that makes sense?

How do you make the picture look like that so that it can be scored?

Have you by chance tried taping or painting around the outside edge to make the engravings brighter? Paint would give a better spot to grab it to clean when the time comes.

Hello, I tried this on mdf, and it works, but it gets brown soot deep into the engraving and I can't get it all out. What type of wood are you using? It looks textured? Thanks in advance.

Black paper works best

Great example and art. So no prep of material, no paint, soap, what was your average setting for the burn and I understand it is different. Is because it is a 40w?

Power 23 speed 300 was on score not engrave but you can do either. and yes no prep just a dark back ground and focus has to be on the background not the acrylic

Hi, thanks for the video. What is the tool you have holding your honey comb? The one in the lower left corner.

The link for "Acrylic in all shapes for the above light " takes me to the Amazon sign in page and when I sign on it just takes me to my account page. Do you have any update on that particular link? Thanks. Do you have a link to the site you purchased those other acrylic pieces from?

What were your settings?

@ALXSHARPEN

Power 23 speed 300 was on score not engrave but you can do either and it's always good to test your unit they all vary so I would do a material test for the very best settings for you. I recently made another 2 of these the same way with a different design for some more nieces kids

Can the S1 40-watt cleanly cut through 2mm of acrylic?

@ALXSHARPEN

Ай бұрын

Yes and thicker but mostly solid color acrylic it’s excellent at cutting black the one it can’t cut at all is clear acrylic it also isn’t great at blue or white I have cut red , yellow, Green, orange and a few other colors and some really cool colors ones with it. Here is a cool site where you can get acrylic that diode laser can cut. I will post the link.

if you need to cut clear acrylic you need a CO2 laser like this one from Xtool the P2 www.xtool.com/products/xtool-p2-55w-co2-laser-cutter

@ALXSHARPEN

One down side of CO2 is the weight this is a desk top one and it's around 100 LBS pretty heavy not easy to move around by yourself

If you are using shop air to dry the acrylic, hopefully you have an oil-less compressor or at least an oil trap in the line. Oil would make a terrible mess of things.

No, I’m sure that you are aware that your shop air is clean. I just wanted to warn folks that may follow your directions that they should be aware of a potential problem.

Sorry for the unicorn?
