This is 5mm birch ply cut on a 45W CO2 laser at full speed and the lowest power setting I’ve ever used (.25%). Lots of charring. I have a lens that can do finer detail, but I can’t justify the time right now. @PhilJohnson Your turn!
A raster would definitely be lighter. I still think the detail will be lost. I had the file open, I had some birch on the laser, I had the laser on, and I had 10min. Scaled and went for it. I think it took about 8 minutes.
I might give it another go tomorrow with a raster. If I do, I’ll report back.
Made this one as a tribute to you not dropping it like everyone else has… not original art just arrangement in a circle … feel free to copy it all day long bro…
Homie, I can see that I got off on the wrong foot with apparently everyone in the cnc world with this thread, i dropped it and was fine to let things stay squashed, you rekindled our love/hate flame with a snarky remark… Im cool bro, seriously… but if I have to actually prove that I belong here, I can do that.
So…the first will be orders i had this week, all requested images sent from customers…
I really purchased the xc for the saturday cnc workshops I host… hella easier than the mc5 to use for the new guys and the software is most customer friendly… mc5 uses sai enroute cad/cam software, not user friendly…
so I can’t figure out if this is done or not. I want to pack more in but it is already just too busy. I think If I were to do something like this again. I would do better planning from the start. I sorta just filled things in randomly here. I think it is ready to be cut unless someone has any suggestions.
