Vegan Leather Sourcing

I was wondering just what critters Vega had to get the hides off of. They started importing the hides of the Nauga some years ago and we never bothered to learn what a Nauga even looked like, and now there are these saddle critters?

You can find on Youtube warnings that we are being invaded by Aliens from from a planet around the star Vega that we have become so inured to their presence they have even started opening their own Restaurants!

Hello! I just bought some of this leather for testing myself, thank you for the settings! One question, did you figure out a good way to clean it after the engraving? I’m worried about the leather being stained black.

Thanks again.

The picture above of the 2 koi fish is fresh out of the laser. I didn’t clean it at all. There wasn’t any visible gunk. That may depend somewhat on the graphic. I did find that it wipes clean with a baby wipe very easily after my kids spilled a drink on my desk though.

What do you mean by 50, 60, 70, 80 from the top down?

The power setting I used for the cuts.

Thanks for this! They cut wonderfully!

Thanks for all your info. It has really helped. I did some tests and I still can’t manage to get this not to cut through to the backing when engraving, even at 20 power. Do I need to set the focus height? Or maybe I need to adjust the speed? On small images (less than an inch) I don’t have a problem but as soon as I go to an inch or more it cuts through. Any ideas would be appreciated, since I’m SUPER new to this. Thanks!!

I always run 1000 speed when engraving this stuff. What are you using?

I was using 600, I’ll try full speed and see if that helps. Thank you!!

A speed of 1000, power 30 and 225lpi worked for my engraving. The higher your LPI the lower your power has to be or the higher your speed.
