I’ve finally had an extended amount of time this morning to work on a project using my own vector design out of illustrator. I wanted to see how the engraving process and details would ‘print’ at different sizes and using a few different materials.
Here is a shot of the file on screen in Illustrator.
the 2.5" hardwood ones look fantastic!
making boxes, machines, fancy 3d objects… all that is awesome, and I hope to do all of it. Expanding horizons.
But my original, primary dream for the glowforge is being able to make ‘permanent’ prints from from my art. Not on archival paper, not on vinyl, but on wood. You just made me really happy.
These look amazing! I love the depth of the engrave on the hardwood and still maintained the fine lines. In the last photo, how long did that take to engrave?
Amazing detail! Thanks for taking the time to post this. You’re making it hard to wait until next year! I can’t wait to see what December brings in terms of posts. Plenty of pictures everyone…
