Beautiful! How do you clean it up so nicely? I haven’t tried 3D engraving yet, but I feel like my Glowforge would have so much smoke that it would be difficult to clean up like that.

I’m not the OP, but if you do a final run over an engraving that’s fast/low power it cleans up quite a bit!

Scrubbing. Like a lot of scrubbing. Plastic bristled dish brush with dish soap and water (I’ve tried other things and they just don’t seem to get the job done. Warps the wood like you wouldn’t believe though and has to be dried under a flat weight for a while to get it back flat. Happy to hear better ways to do this but I haven’t found them.

@rbtdanforth used to be a big proponent of using hand sanitizer gel. That really minimizes warping.

Huh will try that out next time. I’ve tried denatured alcohol and it kind of works, but nowhere good as soap and water.

They posted it above - just add a cut circle to cut it out.

It’s the gel that makes it work - it stays on the workpiece instead of immediately soaking in like plain denatured alcohol. You can scrub with it too which you’re not doing with plain alcohol. With a soaking cleaner you’re scrubbing the material fibers against each other. With a gel the extra body of the gel lets you scrub more of the gel & discoloration layer. Same with soap & water without the liquid portion soaking into the fibers & swelling them up.
