Clear Glass Tiles - Backlit

[shipmodeller]

I was experimenting with the glass tiles, as a few others did here, had a failure, then finally got my feeds / speeds correct ( Or at least close . Then I back-lit the glass. Looked great. But the LED is a point source, so some diffuser is needed in the back to spread the light out a bit better. But, now I’ll push and do some engraving… got some neat ideas for these now. Thanks for the inspiration! ( You can see my mistake … )

Welcome to the group! Looks like a great result on the engrave.

Do you mind to post what you setting were?

Forum rules restrict mention of non-PG settings to the Beyond the Manual section, so it’s a good place to go looking for that information. I did a quick search for “glass tile settings” and found this one:

Etch small glass tiles

I just tried etching some small glass tiles, using settings that I read about here The pattern in the etch is interesting. There were some bubbles in the dish soap, but they weren’t uniform, so I am not sure of the cause. Perhaps as the dish soap vaporizes, it causes this effect. Settings: Speed 360, Full Power (GF standard), LPI 225, dot density. The glass tiles are available on Amazon: glass tiles [IMG_0196]
