Thought I’d try using vellum to engrave a skeleton leaf. Thought it turned out decent. Next try I’ll increase the power a little to darken the engrave a bit.

Whoof! Just realized I have a use for the stacks of vellum I’ve got clogging up the storage room upstairs!
Great job!

That’s really beautiful. The effect is nice and subtle and would look great in a lamp shades.

Holy crap this is awesome! I have a bunch of printable vellum, I wonder what it would do to a printed image on the vellum. Well I know what I’m doing with my morning tomorrow. Time to make me a leaf vector.

Exactly what I was thinking. Also an overlay to a card.
This is so cool! I’ve wanted to stick vellum in and see what happened before, but I couldn’t figure out what it’s made of. The modern stuff is coated in some kind of plastic or something, right?
I am new to this and would like to use translucent vellum paper 93 gsm to make wedding gift boxes. Would you know the settings? Glowforge Aura.

The Aura is pretty new, so there aren’t a whole lot of custom settings that people have documented yet. The good news is that that the testing process is really simple, check out number six here:
You’ll find a testing method and also a link to a new spreadsheet that people have started for aura settings. If you do your testing and get good settings, come back and post it to the spreadsheet to help everyone else out too!
