Thanks for checking out the project! What should I make with the laser cutter next?
A multi colour print like RGB or CYMK
11:04 i'd love to see a video on your diy hanging hardware. looks pretty clever!
MDF also gives off formaldehyde - which is not great for your health - so fume extraction is, as always, very important when user a laser with this (or any other) material. Thanks for the videos.
Yes! This is a great point that I should highlight more in my next video. I always use a strong fume extractor to protect my lungs, even just engraving normal wood I’d want the smoke out of my shop!
@@DiodePress I appreciate you taking time to make the videos and enjoy your style of presentation. It always strikes me as odd that such an unpleasant chemical is manufactured into such a ubiquitous building material - which puts us all at risk to some degree, but makers especially.
Pretty sure a 15th century wood carver/print maker/crafter is gonna be like, "You can focus light and carve things? And you've cured dying by the ripe old age of 28?". Engrave away good sir
A 11. percnél a papír rögzítő megoldás érdekelne !!
Nice work. I believe there are some linoleum products that are safe to laser as well, might be something to look into and of course traditional wood carving is done with hardwood which should perform well in the laser with a bit of experimentation.
Thanks for checking it out! I’ll have to find and test out laser safe Lino, sounds fun. I’m definitely going to try hardwood for the next project!
Metall would be something to try
How "deep" do you cut for a good print? 80% results in what depth on the wood. Which wood did you use? What about other materials? Thanks 🙏
Every material requires an easy small test etching to figure that out, but I typically do just enough that when I print it, the background does not print. In this case, it’s probably 1/32nd-1/16th of an inch.
Power and speed go hand in hand to determine this depth as well.
Oooh. I like the 3d printed marble dry rack. Do you have the files for that?
Thanks! It’s lasercut, but I’m working on making a video all about it soon!
I can't make out the word at around 8:00 - it sounds like "Tech Etch" or "Tekash", but the closed captioning says only "Tash". I did check the Tools & Materials page, but the brayer link is a Speedball brayer. What is the word or brand name of that "Tech Etch" brayer? Thanks!
Sorry about that. It’s a Takach brayer from www.takachpress.com !
@@DiodePress Thank you very much!
Just one question. Why the oil based ink? and why with a printing press? And not by hand i mean . Just asking. I also studied woodcut and engraving so..
I don’t always use oil based inks, but on this one I was having issues getting opaque coverage with other inks. Could be the paper, or temperature in the shop 🤣 there’s nothing wrong with printing by hand at all, but I can make a more consistent print, much faster on the press. I do like the occasional hand printing thought. Thanks for checking out the video!
there is no such thing as "non toxic turpenoid"...
I can only go by what the label says, but it’s called Weber Turpenoid Natural. Works great. Thanks for checking out the video!
@@DiodePress It most probably is made from natural sources (meaning bio not synthetic), but it is still toxic. One of the best thinners for painting in old times was (and still is) made from lavender, still toxic :). Don't get me wrong, I'm not trying to accuse you of anything, I'm just trying to warn you about it
Oh and great video, thanks for sharing.
Not really a hand craft any Muppet can use a laser and met is one of the worst to use for printing your be best using a plywood board
Kermit with a laser is something I’d like to see. MDF works great. Lots of other hand made print projects on the channel 👍
