After trial and error these are some i did last night.

[donkjr (Don Kleinschnitz Jr.)]

Wow!

[Nigel_Conroy]

Great work. Same procedure you described in previous post or have you tweaked your technique?

[Scott_Thorne]

Same technique…just more passes at lower max power settings

[greg_greene]

DSP or Smoothie?

[Scott_Thorne]

Ruida RDC6442g DSP

[greg_greene]

Laserweb ? or proprietary software - it sure looks like you get very fine control with the Ruda - I wonder of the Smoothie can do that.

[Scott_Thorne]

Its proprietary software…RDWorks version 8.01.019

[greg_greene]

Thanks - I’m wondering if the Ruda board would work with the K40 - I believe you have a different laser.

[Scott_Thorne]

Yeah i don’t have a k40 anymore…i have a shenhui 50 watt 500mm x 300mm machine now…i just like the forum here and a lot of the people on here i consider friends…lol

[greg_greene]

Thanks Scott !

[Scott_Thorne]

You bet.

[greg_greene]

Wow, love the Koi fish. Looks great. You’re becoming a pro at this stuff

[Scott_Thorne]

@Yuusuf_Sallahuddin_Y …thanks my friend…this all comes with a lot of wasted time and wood too…lol

[Yuusuf_Sallahuddin_Y (Yuusuf Sallahuddin (Y.S. Creations))]

@Scott_Thorne Yeah I bet, I’ve had similar experiences with just engraving things normally.

[Scott_Thorne]

I guess it’s par for the course
