Special Request for Pre-Release: Delrin engrave

If you haven’t found this topic, it’s all about my tests of Corian. Here is one of the posts that has both positive and negative engraves.

Doing the Delrin right now. I have some I got from Inventables. 1/4" pretty expensive as things go, about $27 for a 12x12 1/4 inch Black acetal. I did some small engraves to check it out and then tried cutting. One pass 100% power and 7 inches per minute. It cut through about .125" or halfway. Not sure how deep you need the relief. I’ll measure when I pull it out and post the pics.

Initial engraving tests had about .5 mm with 100% 335 speed and 340. More to come.

O crud. Forgot the last crucial step before making a stamp, reversing the design. Arg!!! Well now I definitely have to make a reverse engrave to be able to do a paper emboss from underneath.
