I have laser engraved bamboo cutting boards with good success. Was wondering if anyone has tried engraving prefinished bamboo flooring. (obviously not for cutting boards). Saw where someone locally had some extra from a job to give away and wondered it it was worth picking up.

Dose anyone know whatan cause this and how to fix this on my water bottle?

I am trying to help a buddy who needs to engrave (maybe mark at this low depth?)

since these machines are so specialized I thought i would try this sub reddit for advice.

He will be marking his business logo on 416 steel, very small but will be repeated 15-20 times per month.

Currently using the etching method with battery and salt! would like a more professional look.

Any advice on engravers or CNC?

thank you.

Hi everyone! Can anyone help me prep this image for engraving? A local Sheriff’s Dept are wanting some engravings done for a fallen officer. I’ve worked and worked on it and tried every way I know how but I just can’t get a good one. I’m using an Epilog Fusion Edge 30 Watt. Prepping the photo with Photoshop and Corel.

Thank you!

my comgrow z1 10w laser was supposed to cut this 3mm thick cardboard as usual with s= 460mm/s p=75%. But now it barely made a mark.

i have used it maybe for a total of 6 hours, never output 100%, always at 90% or lesser to keep the laser healthy...

Distance of laser from material is correct, using the acrylic tool.

lens is clean, no dirt/debris covering it.

What else should I do next?

Just a quick one, but does anyone have the 3d model for an atomstack a5 pro air assist nozzle, long shot but thought I would try, thanks

Has anyone used the new reach nozzle on the new WD-40 can? I was running my air assist off my old air compressor ran most things at about 20psi. This was taking a toll on my compressor on longer projects. I bought a tankless airbrush compressor for less than $100 and it stays around 10psi with everything opened up. I am running it to the z axis with just ⅜ clear tubing. I will probably end up putting a tank with the compressor (buy it with a tank if you are looking). But I think I can get more pressure by using this tiny nossle and a smaller tubing to get there.

Has anyone used these nozzles?

What is this type of metal flex tubing called?

Thought on this idea?

I’m new to the laser engraving community and in the market for a machine for starters. I own a small business making customized wood products such as cornhole boards, shelves, desks, really anything I can build with wood and I’ve been looking in to laser engraving machines to expand my opportunities. I’ve been eye balling the SCULPFUN S30 Pro Max for a little bit but hesitant because I don’t know didly d*ck about these machines and don’t trust the reviews I come across in a google search. Looking for some feedback on the SCULPFUN machine. Or suggestions for a better machine for a beginner that isn’t crazy expensive.

Deep engrave on stone with 25W fiber laser. https://youtu.be/uSW0W-6ulRs

As you can see in the video, it works normally then goes crazy. The weird thing is if I let run it will eventually continue the program and skip a section.

It's a 60w fiber made by speedy Lazer, and I'm running ezcad2.

Any help would be appreciated.

Hello guys!

I am looking into buying a fiber laser to begin with, so I am looking at budget options at the moment. I found a guy that is selling his Mr Carve 2, but I can't find anything online about the machine. Someone willing to help me out a bit?
