... some parts for Christmas

[VDX]

... for a school event of my youngest son I've cut some deco-art with Christmas motives.

Here the first results in cardboard ... I'm working on some more complex 3D-parts ...

... and here an older lasercut miniature flying buttres(?):

Those are beautiful! Nice detail. Good work!

[KANG]

Very detailed! Job well done.

... my wife wished the candle-arch a bit greater and with more 'atmosphere':

It's beautiful.

... at request of my wife I've sketched an "Elk-bow" and lasercut it from 4mm-poplar- and 3mm-balsa-plywood.

Used a 3.5W@445nm-diode at roughly 2W, pulse/pause-ratio around 50%, 7 minutes per pass, 5 or 6 passes (don't remember exactly) for the poplar, 4 passes for the balsa plywood.

Here it's cutting without shielding:

... with:

... and ready:

... and here the older poplar-part in foreground and one cut from cardboard in the back:

... I'm lasercutting some samples for the next exhibition - actually some "seals" made from different materials:

- best to cut is sponge rubber:

... made some more samples - first a pretty hard and thick (and hard to cut too) piece of foam material, normally used for shoe-soles:

And then a sample from poplar plywood - first the engraving (with some fume traces):

- to avoid stronger fume traces when cutting, I previously coated it with adhesive tape:

- from the back:

Muster Liberty2 - Fertig2-Hinten.jpg



- ready:

... I had to change some samples for the next fair - here the steps for multicolor laser-marking

First - stick complete blue and cut for the border:

... cleaned:

- coat/stick red and white partially for the text:

... cut the text and engrave the logo on plain eloxal:

- nearly done:

... ready:

try a strong fan to blow the vapor away. That can limit the vapor trails too. I also tried a spray on plastic that peals off but I don't know the name anymore.
