      @@peterbrownwastaken But by not checking, you managed to pin a corn kernel in place for a full blast of the laser. The kernel even glowed from the laser. If that didn't make it pop, I don't think more time will matter.

    Just last week I came across a makers space at a library in my city and used a 3D printer and laser cutter for the first time. Was so cool, felt like living in the future. And the folks who helped me out were so nice, didn’t even charge me for the materials or time I spent on the laser cutter, I think because they knew I was prototyping something, idk. My new fav place right now, and finally have a reason to learn vector and 3D modeling software.

    If it could burn into a rubber or linoleum slab to make a stamp or like block printing engravings that would be another great use for it. If you use oil paint to apply it to a shirt with a quick drying medium like liquin or galkyd lite i think that’d be a good idea. You could even give away the shirts. I had this idea to share previously when you applied acrylic to the crevices for your wooden map. For block printing it is the opposite where you line the extrusions instead and use a roller to apply the paint to the stamp for printing.
    “Laser etched block printing?” So to speak. The only problem I can think of is making the oil paint not thin enough to where the paint gets into the grooves and causes splotching.

    • @UnreasonableSteve
      @UnreasonableSteve 10 місяців тому

      Laser engravable/cuttable rubber sheets are definitely commercially available and making stamps from them is the primary use - so what you're talking about should be pretty doable

    • @colinhimi

      Definitely something to try some day :)

    • @WubbGmbaa
      @WubbGmbaa 10 місяців тому +1

      Yep, definitely doable - I have a friend who does laser-engraved block prints. The CNC would be a better option, but the laser makes it accessible. I have done it with laser-engraved acrylic, and wiped on ink to mimic intaglio printing. I wouldn't do lino on the laser (probably toxic or something), but have done linocut on CNC.

    • @AssistantLeaflet
      @AssistantLeaflet 10 місяців тому

      @@colinhimi depends entirely on the pigment used and if you used additional medium like liquin. Linseed oil is used on your tables and cutting boards as a food safe finish. The cold pressed artist grade linseed oil is actually cleaner than the grade people buy for table and other food grade finishes at hardware stores. If it is a cadmium pigment (expensive) or a lead pigment (illegal in many countries) then it’ll be unsafe. Cobalt pigments are also cancer causing. Using linseed oil and a fine ground charcoal pigment on a white shirt would work fine and you could stuff the whole shirt in your mouth and probably have less of a chance of cancer than living in Kansas City.
      TLDR; the only toxic thing in most oil paints is the pigments themselves.
      I make my own oil paint. Trust.

  • @RandomBogey
    @RandomBogey 10 місяців тому +1

    I don’t know anything about this particular engraver/cutter, but my guess is that it has some kind depth/height sensing and is checking the height of the surface as the gantry moves over and because the majority of the working surface is one height, it sets the laser to that height not accounting for the possibility there’s a kernel of corn protruding from the work surface because why would there ever be a kernel of corn sticking up. But, it’s cool you got it to work, as a proof of concept anyway, given it’s a 2d design on a minuscule curved 3d surface. The resolution of the vault boy on such a small surface is impressive. Judging by the width of the laser under the magnifying glass, it looks like that’s about as small as it will go before losing all definition and becoming just a black dot
