    Great video. Thanks.
    Curious what the reason is to focus on the board and if it matters where you start the kaser to do so or if you just need to place and start it anywhere on the board?

    • @ALXSHARPEN
      @ALXSHARPEN  4 месяца назад +2

      The laser can't see the top of the clear acrylic the beam on 450 NM passes right through so by focusing on the board we are tricking it a bit and its engraving on the back side of it because it can focus and hit the board or paper no problem and since they are so close where the are in contact with each other it works-Hope that makes sense?

      Sorry I am a total newbie on Light Burn. I just started using it last week so I am slowly figuring it out but have a lot to learn

      Import using XCS and export as an SVG

    Have you by chance tried taping or painting around the outside edge to make the engravings brighter? Paint would give a better spot to grab it to clean when the time comes.

    Great example and art. So no prep of material, no paint, soap, what was your average setting for the burn and I understand it is different. Is because it is a 40w?

    • @ALXSHARPEN
      @ALXSHARPEN  4 месяца назад +1

      Power 23 speed 300 was on score not engrave but you can do either. and yes no prep just a dark back ground and focus has to be on the background not the acrylic

    The link for "Acrylic in all shapes for the above light " takes me to the Amazon sign in page and when I sign on it just takes me to my account page. Do you have any update on that particular link? Thanks. Do you have a link to the site you purchased those other acrylic pieces from?

      @ALXSHARPEN  24 дня назад

      Power 23 speed 300 was on score not engrave but you can do either and it's always good to test your unit they all vary so I would do a material test for the very best settings for you. I recently made another 2 of these the same way with a different design for some more nieces kids

    If you are using shop air to dry the acrylic, hopefully you have an oil-less compressor or at least an oil trap in the line. Oil would make a terrible mess of things.

    • @ALXSHARPEN
      @ALXSHARPEN  4 месяца назад

      Did you see any oil on it ?

    • @philipershler420
      @philipershler420 4 месяца назад +1

      No, I’m sure that you are aware that your shop air is clean. I just wanted to warn folks that may follow your directions that they should be aware of a potential problem.
