This is an amazing piece of work! I just received my Muse 3D and am going to try scratch board soon. Thank you for the tips and great video!

I am so happy to see you also have the Muse. I'm new to lasers but I have one also and now I'm even more excited to see someone with my machine!! Great tutorial. I have happily subscribed.

Awesome job. I just bought a laser, and I had wondered about using it on scratch board as a sort of way to make prints of my drawings. Looks like it works! Thanks for sharing 😊

Thank you! It's so easy to engrave on scratchboard. It's one of the easiest things I've engraved on, and the images it produces is stunning. Definitely worth it.

Awesome job.

Is it possible to purchase that design?

Hey amazing work. Do you coat the finished product with laquer or anything?

What is the best way to remove the dust after engraving on scratch pape? Thanks

I take a micro fiber cloth and gently rub it off. I don't put a lot of pressure, but the micro fiber cloth seems to grab the dust pretty well to clean it up.

Awesome video and great information. Would you have a link to get the scratchboard that’s actually a board? I thought I had it but my order arrived today and it’s paper. lol.

Very good idea and great result! I tried to engrave on some plastic with a thin metal layer using an LED laser, but the result was far from yours. P. S. Your art is beautiful!

Yea, probably! I've never tried, but that should work.

What program are you using?

Hi there That is so amazing. Can you tell me the brand of the laser engraver please? Thanx

@@EsayasZerazion Yes, that's the brand! I opted not to get the camera option in mine--it seems to glitch on people a lot. I also have since swapped out the standard lens it comes with to the 1.5 lens. The 1.5 lens is better for engraving, but worse for cutting. I have only used mine for engraving, so switching to the 1.5 made sense for me.

By the way you are doing amazing stuff.

Use a lint roller for most of the debris, then lightly wipe away the rest. Cheap lint rollers have too much tack so use 3m ones 😉👍

When you wipe off the piece does the surface feels smooth or rough? Thanks Greg

It feels smooth when I wipe it off, not rough. For scratchboard, it doesnt' cut down enough to make it feel rough.

@@theartistpod4609 Thank you for taking the time to reply. I gave my first try with one of my bird images following your advice and I was pretty happy with the result. I am using a 5W diode so I still have to nail down the settings.When I wiped with the microfiber it seemed to catch on the surface and I think I may have had too much power. I blew it off with the air assist hose and it really brightened up. Thanks again Peace Greg

@@nopriors Yea it might be a smidge too much power. If the end results still looked great, I imagine you're probably pretty close to the right settings. And you're welcome!

Seems quite expensive at $10 for one board. I think it would be easier to buy a pack of basswood and paint them before engraving. Definitely cheaper though you have to spend time painting the boards. It looks good though. Of course you can use the thinner scratch board and attach it to something thicker like basswood.

@theartistpod4609

Yea, I do agree. It is a bit more expensive for the boards unless you do it yourself. Or, like you said, you can get the cheaper boards and attach it to something thicker. I like the look and feel of these, and the detail is good enough you could probably sell them for a lot more once you apply a finish to it. The image is nice and crisp.

Where do you get your scratchboard from?
