PNG is also a a good choice for the other engrave settings, as it will not have to do multiple passes over the same area just to get one pass of engraving. What is your desired outcome here? Primarily depth differences? Or visible color differences? For depth, you should be able to get good results with 3D engrave using a PNG source file. I know you said that wasn’t the case, but it might be helpful to post a zip file of the SVG to let folks give you better assistance. If they are measured, then I suspect you have overlapped the inner and outer hexagons. If it was the focus height, you are defocusing the laser, not specifying the engraving depth. Finally, the star is set to 85% gray and is 0.075" deep.Īre the depths listed here the measured depths of the actual engravings? Or the focus height set in the operation? Next is the main hexagon, set to 10% gray but with a depth of 0.03". Going from the outside in: First is the hexagon border, set to 25% gray with a depth of 0.01". It’s hard to tell, but there are three depths. Speed 250, I stopped early because it was going to catch on fire. Here is what poplar looks like with a manual full Pro power 3d engrave. This does seem to help but best case, your material will be brown and rough instead of black and crispy. The laser removes material by burning it away, so the answer is “kind of but not really.” You can experiment with doing 2 or 3 passes at lower power. The flat s…īottom line, if you want to go for depth, you need to go manual.Īre there settings or materials which can get different depths of engraving with OUT charring the material? The gradients run from 0% black to 60% black. (Yes I am mixing the badge design from the movie with the font from the comics… Iso-cube, 6 months mandatory sentence, I know.) It isn’t totally to my liking yet, but it is good enough for testing. I had to create this art from scratch since good vector versions are not already posted online. My next 3d carving test is a more complex design than I posted previously, using multiple depths and gradients to produce angled surfaces.
