Laser Engraved Cube

You’re welcome! You may find it more convenient to use photosensitive dry film instead of the spray-on material the video shows. If you decide to try it, let me know and I’ll give you some pointers.

Whoa.

Heh. Hate to tell you that’s a myth. Been around for years. It was just a joke somebody told to emphasize the fact that everything’s crackable. Today you’ll find that joke relayed on t-shirts and other trinkets and referred to in books about cracking (and books about jokes).

The earliest reference to this topic (I could find) was an internet meme from 2012

Sounds right. I thought it was a little earlier, 2010 maybe. But I’d believe 2012. :slight_smile:

That foil looks just about perfect… Apply to surface, cover with masking tape, engrave, apply black paint to engraved areas, remove masking, done! Bookmarked!

Quick impromptu demo (I guess?)

35mm (roughly) squared. (Cold garage > precision)

Rinse, lather and repeat.

Awesome jig you’ve got there!

Yes. They are. But I’ve learned to use the ‘low power’ magnets when using the bed.

Now you see them- Now you don’t.
