For months, I’ve been designing things I thought would look really good when engraved on the GF. This example means I really need to up my game. All my designs now look way too simple by comparison. Amazing!

At first I was thinking, yeah that’s pretty cool level of detail. Then you clarified that this was a mere 4" in which case my jaw dropped. That’s an insane level of detail. Absolutely incredible quality.

A coin for scale in the pic would help pronounce the great detail in that!

Yep, this engrave just about matches a full build from scratch on my Mac Pro. Currently my 3D printer has such long prints going that it goes through entire Build-QI cycles (my current parts for this project are taking 32 hours/part x3). Have to laser stuff I guess during builds…

I cant remember what it defaults to, but its either 270 or 340. I can check when I get back home

I’ll have to get this vector somewhere! I saw a link earlier but the links to the download were broken.
I’ve wanted the Aztec calendar to be my first print since I ordered my glowforge.
Ever since I got a sales package from FSL with this aztec calendar in it I’ve been obsessed with finding a laser to suit my needs. When the glowforge got announced I finally had something I could justify buying for the space I have!

I guess without the Aztec calendar I wouldn’t be here on these forums! :stuck_out_tongue:
