Hey everyone I am new here, me and my dad just got our K40 laser engraver in the mail. We want to etch glass but as much as i google i cant seem to find any specific advice on how to do it. Anyone here have any ideas?
This info is from Epilog, but the approach looks like employs techniques independent of the machine used: https://www.epiloglaser.com/assets/downloads/whitepapers/settings_whitepaper.pdf. Maybe it will be of use to you.
@Dave_M Some nice tips in there. Thanks for sharing.
Don’t google how, YOUTUBE.com how…
I’ve used a plain white sheet of printer paper wet/damp on top of a piece of flat glass and the results where great!
I’d imagine a wet paper towel on top of curved glass would work just fine too, I think its to help soak up a little of the heat generated when etching.
That epilog white paper looks great ill have to read through it! Thanks for the link Dave.
The white paper will help alot.
