  1. I am late uploading here as the server was down when I cross posted on other services, but here is one of the latest efforts on my fiber laser.

    Perfect alignment every time. Upgraded my ComMarker B6 with a digital scale to take the guesswork out of defocusing. Use the focus cone to set true zero then dial in exact, perfectly repeatable offsets for color engraving.

  4. Happy 4th to everyone who celebrates. 🎆🎇🇺🇸

    Just a little laser project I made many years ago when I first got started laser crafting.

  6. Weather too miserable to ride, so I laser-blinged up the boringly boring wooden box which my carbide-tipped woodturning set came in.

  7. Life Inspiration Sign DXF CA0048 is a striking motivational wall art design featuring the timeless quote, “I am the master of my fate, I am the captain of my soul.” Combined with an elegant sailing ship silhouette, this artwork symbolizes strength, determination, freedom, and personal leadership.

  10. I tried to post on Reddit about an email campaign from xTool I felt…lacked the human curation that should have kept the company from sending projects with words like “Fuckers” to family and student inboxes. But Reddit automoderated me. So I’ll share here and hope others may help boost my concerns about xTool curation and Reddit “moderation.” This is a company I’m deeply invested in, and it pains me to see them make bone-headed, undisciplined moves like this. #xTool #laserengraving

  12. LightBlade systems come with the Ruida controller and auto focus pen as standard.

    Optional extras include a dual source set up allowing you to mark metal and a camera which can help align your art work to the part.

  13. More work from my Final Major Project at Arts University Plymouth. These mesmerising pieces are made up of meticulously inlaid veneers of wood that are inserted into laser engraved plywood.

    Each artwork was initially digitally drawn up by me over many many hours which then were transferred into a usable format to be laser engraved - which took another 5 and a half hours!

    The work is greatly inspired by computer scientist/mathematician Craig S Kaplan (@csk) and his generative zellij work. My work displays that the algorithmic potential of Islamic Geometric Patterns and the time-tested traditions of woodcrafts can belong together in an artistic context.

  14. Here are a few piece of my work towards my Final Major Project at university. Inspired by works by Dana Awartani, this work is the ultimate culmination of my time studying Craft/Materials at AUP in Plymouth and was displayed during the Graduate Summer Show last year.

    I thank @trinityfranklinphoto over on Instagram for helping me assemble some of these pieces and photographing them. She is a star and I'm truly fortunate to have someone of that talent in my life

  15. Here's a little video showing part of the process of what goes into making our Spirit Boards! :)

    The #resin pour ended up with some bubbles, so, I ended up not filming as much of the process as I wanted to, because as soon as things go a bit wrong and I have to go into trouble-shooting mode, I always forget to record (especially under a time crunch) - ha! - but I plan on making another video later showing the glue-up process and the routing of the edges etc,...

  16. Oh yay, my #Inkscape plugin works!

    Now I can rasterize gradients automagically and hopefully feed that #xTool crappy studio something it will like. (that stupid thing does not see gradients at all…)

  20. Yesterday I was working on a tree of life design on the CO2 #laser. It's a hand-drawn line-drawing with lots of intricate detail that we're planning to make a divination board of.

    This is a relatively large board, so the #engraving takes a while, so I tend to let it do it's thing while I'm in the room working on other stuff.

    Then, I happen to look at it and notice it's all screwy - the lines are showing up double. Oh Nooooo...

    The rest of my day was basically consumed with debugging the laser.

    Ghosting or double-lines usually mean something screwy in the optical path, specifically in terms of the verticality of the laser. If the beam isn't hiting the focus lens in the center, you can end up with this problem, or if the beam is hitting the edge of the nozzle and is being reflected, you can also have this issue.

    I did the 'ol mirror alignment test with the tape... nope,... everything looks dead center.

    I did notice some debris in the nozzle so i cleaned that out thoroughly, it's never been cleaner - issue still persists.

    Then I grabbed a mirror and a light, and pointed the light at the hole where the beam normally enters the head, and angled the mirror below the nozzle such that I could see the entire optical path - looks completely perfectly clear ... well darn...

    I had to somehow rule out optical versus mechanical issues, so what I came up with was #laserengraving two crosses, one just made up of single lines, the other of filled lines. If both have double lines, the issue is likely optical. If only the filled cross has double lines, the issue is just mechanical.

    Sure enough, the thin line cross came out just fine, so the issue isn't optical.

    This also revealed clearly the problem only happens on the X axis.

    So I proceed to clean the heck out of the x axis belt, it was fine... didn't help... tension was fine too..

    Then I looked for 'wiggle' in the laser nozzle... now.. it always had some wiggle in it, so I didn't think too much of it, but it seemed worse somehow... wondered if that could be it...

    I had to track down where the wiggle even came from. It's not the laser head itself, just the nozzle part.

    After lots of back-breaking awkward bending and looking around with lights and mirrors, I discovered that this #monport onyx R laser has two little screws hidden BEHIND where the belt attaches, that fix the laser nozzle assembly to the rest of the larger laser head.

    They are impossible to tighten without removing the belt first... ughhh....

    Lots of fiddly screwing around later, I was able to tighten these little screws, and sure enough, no more wobble. It's more solid now than it ever was even since first we got the laser.

    And sure enough, that fixed the problem.

    Not optics, not verticality,... just two little stupid screws.

    I'm guessing they were never fully tightened when it left the factory (hence the, it always had some wobble to it...) and just became increasingly loose until loose enough to become a problem. When I initially found the screws, one of them was just short of completely falling out. Go figure.
