have all of the photos individually if that needs to be done to get this properly engraved for the lamp.

Yeah this!

So there has been a lot of talk about how to make a good photo engrave, it’s a mix of the right settings and the right image processing.

So, first things first, you want this to be an acrylic lamp, are you engraving directly on the acrylic, like the side-lit type of lamp here:

Upgraded LED Nightlight: Clear Proofgrade Acrylic

Posting this to document a few things regarding design, materials and workflow. My materials picker (a parishioner who drops by the office just about every day with some materials or ideas for the Glowforge) came up with some on-sale nightlights at Menards. $10 for three, reduced to $8 and then add a 10% discount if put in the big shopping bag. [image] Although it is tempting to throw the reflector shield in the Glowforge, I would guess this is polycarbonate and not acrylic. Not wanting to me…

Let us know a bit more about what you’re up to and we’ll go from there.

Also, welcome back! Don’t be such a stranger!
