Thanks again for the Review and examples. I do have one question. How did you get the honeycomb installed? Did you cut it to fit for use with the knife? Where can we purchase it.

Wood veneer is simply hardwoods that is cut very thin.
@1-Nice-GuyАй бұрын
On the "Maple Wood Veneer Sheet - Peel and Stick" stickers, or any of the thin veneer stickers, do they wrap around items like a tumbler without cracking/splitting (assuming you rotated the grain in the correct position before engraving)?

Yup, there shouldn't be any issues wrapping the veneers stickers. The 3M backing actually make them extra flexible.

I can’t express enough how well you provided a preview of the WeCreat -Awesome JOB👍👏! I do wish you had a test run for batching to see how accurate the camera is. Also, the demonstration you just provided here would you still consider getting WeCreat 20watt or the their new 40watt laser? And let’s just leave out the cost difference. 20watt or 40watt? And why? I definitely subscribed! 😎
@MakeTechCreateАй бұрын
Thanks! The camera is more accurate on the vision than any other laser I've used after I calibrated it. With that said, cameras are never 100% accurate. That's an easy choice. If you're primarily doing cutting, get the 40 watt. If you're primarily doing engraving, get the 20 watt.
