Hi guys picture attached I don’t know what I am getting my finished engraving looking like the
Laser is at 100%
10W Laser engraved drink bottle
Are you trying to avoid the bit of texture on the top of the gas mask?
I can’t tell for sure, but it looks like you lightly heated up the steel. Enough to get a bit of color, but not enough to deform.
I doubt you need the whole 10W to etch through that paint. People have been doing similar with the 1.6W module. This takes a bit of experimentation, but try to find the lowest power level that will still work, and see if you’re happier with the results.
thanks for that i will be giving it a another go this evening and will let you know how i went
Hello,
Im new to the snapmaker community. I have been trying to find out what are Algorithms are when using the laser gray scale. What they are and what they do?
Do you have the rotary module?
Have you posted somewhere an article about your rotary unit?
I’d love to read about that, maybe imitate.
Yes there is a post by someone else check out diy rotory
What speed did you use? I built the same rotary encoder and used 200mm/sec and 0.1mm line on Stainless steel bottle. Turned out very well.
