Roc-ion cloth

Has anyone cut roc-ion multi purpose cloth? It is very similar to canvas- I am having a hard time finding the right settings for it.

roc-ion multi purpose cloth

Can you be more specific as to which cloth? They don’t list a “multi-purpose” cloth on their website.

That sounds like it might be their heavy weight muslin, which is 100% cotton - if yes, try these:

Denim settings

I case someone else needs a starting point on denim. I used a height of .015 and engraved at full speed (1000). The numbers next to the pics represent the LPI. Both have been washed already. 1st pic is Medium weight denim. The set of pics on the left was done at 15 power. The right side was just 1 power. Notice the top right “1/full” text that looks great. I mis-typed and it engraved at 31 power instead of the 3 I wanted. It was too much. It didn’t eat through though the denim, you can …

Cutting Denim -- making stuffed animals

This past weekend, my daughter wanted to make a stuffed animal. Here is what we ended up with: [image] We took some old Jeans and cut them up. We found some tutorials online. This one had great instructions, but no pattern: This one had a pattern I could use (but not great instructions). I downloaded the pattern, traced it in Inkscape, and then cut the denim with the Glowforge. Here is the SVG that I made from that pattern. NOTE I am not claiming that this is my own. It is def…

Hi,
Your answer that Roc-ion is like canvas is rather unhelpful, as Roc-ion is the brand, not a specific weave or fabric content or finish… https://www.roc-lon.com

Do verify what material content you’re getting and if it has been treated/coated. If it’s from their home sewing & craft line, e.g. their muslin or duck cloth you should be OK–likely just has sizing/finishing so it doesn’t wrinkle on the bolt that can be washed out or is very unlikely to be harmful.

I think that the product is no longer available which is why it is not listed on their. website and amazon no longer sells it. I am looking for a fabric that doesn’t fringe similar to 120gm paper that I can cut large scale.
Any ideas?

Any ideas?

I suggest looking on sites that are more likely to use fabric. It’s not a common material for laser work.

Check out lightweight felt, it might do exactly what you need
