how do you know what speed and power to use
@ThingsKatieMakes 2 күн бұрын
Ideally, you have a cup you can run some tests on using the material test cards specific to rotaries. If that's not an option, you can check in with other users of your specific machine and see what they are using as a starting point. That may work perfectly, or you may need to adjust.

your square you made in lightburn wasn't actually square. it was 25.4 x 28.331. You should turn the lock OFF and adjust both sides of the square to be equal. I'm assuming your steps per rotation are making up for it somehow. Thanks for the video by the way, all the Thunder videos make lots of assumptions that we know what we are doing already :)

I believe by cut line he is referring to doing a clean up pass of the edges after the first pass of engraving, something similar to what you would do on a galvo.

Hi! i am so glad i stumbled upon your channel! I do not live in the USA so normally order acrylic from specific vendors for better deals, would you say that any cast glossy white will do or does it have to be gloss one side and matted on the reverse? Also do i have to sublimate the entire surface to void heat marks on the Clear acrylic? I tried an image in the middle of the frame so that i could engrave the rest and use an LED base, but there were like heat marks on the areas with no sub.
@ThingsKatieMakes Ай бұрын
Hi! Apologies for the late reply - cast glossy is really the key. As far as the heat marks - I’m not sure - I haven’t had that issue

Hii!! Thanks so much for your video. I wanted to ask if your acrylic warped or anything? I’ve watched a lot for research and most needed to weigh it down to prevent the warping, and also some have shown themselves needing to scrub off the sub paper afterwards. Did you have any of these issues? Thank you!
@ThingsKatieMakes 2 ай бұрын
Yes to warping - I put something VERY heavy - maybe a bunch of books on top after to avoid. No to scrubbing paper - Mine didn't stick!

I've never heard of anyone exposing the lead - the engraving removes the layer of powder coating, so should be ok?

I'm feeling really worried about the fire risk and fumes and noise level. Have you ever had to put out a fire? If I vent out the window and have a trash can with a lid, will it still smell bad? Do you wear noise protection?
@ThingsKatieMakes 5 ай бұрын
I wouldn’t worry much about fire - if you pay attention and are vented properly, you’ll catch any small fires before they become something big. Off cuts can still smell after cutting, especially acrylic. You can add fine extractors if it bothers you. I don’t wear noise protection, but maybe I should!
