Seen scratch paper in the craft shops but did not think of lasering it. Just did my first Norton white tile and black business card. This looks like fun and cheaper way to learn the 2.5W laser on my 3018. 9% on the Ortur is not much power, might be able to get similar results on my setup.
Did you try grayscale engraving (no dither) with OLM3? I found that it has nice power control let say from 2-12% of power I used for aluminium cards. I found it much harder to dial settings, but when correctly dialed result is awesome.
I'm new to laser. I have software questions. Why did you go from Photoshop to Image R then to Lightburn and then to your laser. The machine I have uses grbl to get the image to the laser. Could you explain your process. It was too fast for me to grasp.
Thanks for the quick and easy to follow tutorial.
I never thought of using scratch paper! That's super awesome and now I need to try it!

Really enjoyed the video. Thank you. I am going to give the scratch paper a try. I didn't know that was a thing. lol.
Thanks! Yeah its fun stuff and you don't feel bad about messing up because its not expensive like wood haha
What an amazing idea..thanks!

Yep! I use that a lot especially on the harder surfaces like the aluminum cards. Its really like magic lol.
Will this only work on a diode or can it work with a co2?
Can you be able to cut paper with this?

How much time did it take to engrave?
This one was pretty long around 1.5 hours I think.

What’s the point? Why not just print a black and white photo? You can get a clearer, sharper picture in 5 minutes.
Because...its fun.
lol…great answer. I can’t argue with that.
