Yes!!! My first real engraving. Did both sides of my wife’s Kindle leather case for her birthday. Raster on front and vector on the rear. So cool. I want to mark and etch alll my stuff now lol.
12% power of 90% limited max
3,500mm/m
30PPM
TurnkeyTyranny Inkscape plugin.
I put a piece of paper down and drew an outline of the kindle case at 10% power to help align the case. Worked good
Thank you everyone in this group for all the help in getting me to this point. I think I am still under the $700 mark all in on this machine. It’s working great .
That turned out awesome. I’m glad it worked for you. It also is concerning to me that you know what burning people smells like haha. I have to admit that the smell of burning leather is quite nasty. To me it smells like when you singe your hair.
Ha-ha I knew that comment would stand out. I learned to solder as a kid and one time I had a bad experience catching a falling soldering iron in mid air. That taught me to let it drop later in life. But that smell of burn skin yuk
I’m guessing it was real leather? I rastered what turned out to be a vinyl covered “leather” case… Not a good idea! (Chlorine gas isn’t good for humans)
@Richard_Taylor I ended up doing a little research on this case before I beamed it, turned out to be genuine tanned hide. It’s good to know that some faux leather could be vinyl, It seems that a lot of faux leather is also PU Polyurethane.
