Got my Glowforge about a week ago and used it so much that I have already gone through the detailed cleaning process. (Nailed it) So I decided to do exactly what I bought this machine for and hit up my MacBook and iPhone X. I haven’t seen anyone do an X yet and not too much on the MacBooks. It didn’t do very well on the bottom part of the mandala where the surface curves it really disappointed me but I am sure it was something I did wrong being how I’m so new to this. Anyways. Enjoy! Also please follow my instagram account that I made for my shenanigans

Also the iPhone X Came out really well the slight blur is the reflection bouncing off itself. Its a trip if you rotate your phone around.

Those two turned out great. I predict there will be many of your friends that will ask you to personalize their devices once they see yours.

I haven’t been brave enough to take the plunge and engrave my ipad yet
It looks great!! What settings did you use for the iPhone X? Want to try this on my x

I used the Clear acrylic settings and just did an HD Graphic. Do NOT engrave. LOL
I find it so hard to choose a design, its like picking out a tattoo, which is why i also have no tattoos

I’m covered in tattoos haha so that makes sense. Of course I have cases for the iPad and iPhone X so even if I messed up it was worth the try IMO.

Thats a good point about the case i should just do it i think
You’re gonna be totally fine. My next idea is to create templates (or find them on the internet) that I can actually put an image on the entire backing without touching the camera or apple logo. Easier said than done for me as Im just learning.

I’ve zotzed a few of the older style aluminum trackpads (the ones with glass surfaces) and found that engraving makes the glass extremely fragile.

Sorry for necro’ing this thread but—why do you recommend not to engrave? I’m eye-balling my iPhone 11 right now (same glass back) and I’m just concerned I’m missing something obvious.
Nice. I just can’t bring myself to do that.
