Hey Dave! I met you at the Adobe MAX can this year with Russell Brown's glass etching. Still my favorite event for the con. Thanks again for the bamboo bottle container (the damaged one you gave me). It was a lot of fun talking to you. If I can, do you know where Russell ordered those bottles from? I'm looking to get another stopper for the extra bottle I have and can't find any good glass ones that fits. Thanks!
i found some usefull tricks on this channel and i really like your delivery without unnecessary bs straight to the business. i have some technique in mind but lacking knowledge of needed materials. so maybe you can help me: i want to print stuff on cloth but i dont know what to use as a printing material which will be burn and transfer on fabric. im sure it can be done if put some melting material on fabric and lay a layer of glass on top to create pressure and hold everything in place. can you help with advice?
Thank you for your kind words; we are happy you like our videos; laser processing fabric can be tricky as some fabrics engrave or mark very well and others do not; however, any fabric can be laser cut. Most natural fibers will produce a quality mark where most synthetics can only be cut, but there are exceptions such as micro suede and Fleece; see this link to see some of the tested fabrics: www.youtube.com/@TrotecLaser/search?query=fabric
This is interesting; We have not had much luck using a laser to add material to a fabric; it is just not designed to do this. Have you looked at a 3D printer for this? They can add plastic to fabric, which works very well as it is made to do this.
Hi Dave , The effect is great! Can you share the drawings? I also want to use Speedy to carve it 😃
Sure thing! www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/gdcjbikxwxbp45ve202fe/Goat.jpg?rlkey=0nmazk9jor6k1ze1ed41u9ptx&dl=0

@@davidstevens2577 im suggesting melting some material onto fabric with laser not engraving fabric itself
