What’s the end od this story ?

After getting the third laser and replacing the motherboard I got what is expected. I am keeping my 5W laser as it is WAY sharper but this 40W is WAY stronger so I can cut and etch way faster.

Hey Michael! GREAT JOB! I’ve been prototyping FaceMount prints on acrylic. I’ve seen Mr. Dave Goetter use a slad (not use if the spelling is correct) 1/8 in acrylic sheet with a double sided white non stick liner. I’m sadden to hear of his passing :( Do you have a video creating one? Or can you recommend which liner I can use? Is this absolutely necessary? Thanks for your help in advance 😊

Hello sir. I've been learning from your videos quite a while about face mount acrylic using adhesives. To learn your pov, I want to get your advise on UV/UV LED printing (i-e, Mimaki UCJV 300-330 series or Roland TrueVIS UV roll based printer. My question is, are these UV roll based printing compatible for same face mount acrylic printing using adhesive? Your advise will be appreciated.

@dragonmares59110 10 ай бұрын

"that could burn nice" You bet it will. We had a fire a few months ago at my job where a woodworking CNC head started heating a little too much. The dust on the cnc got hot, aspired in the automatic vaccum system, which started taking fire...The result was an entire vacuum system dead, the main plate of the CNC burned and a giant panic in the building when it happened. It could have been worse but it also could have been prevented. In my lab we have someone getting the "duty" to clean and check things every friday afternoon (of course rolling, it is even my boss duty sometime when the roll fall on him). It really help keeping the place clean and safe. Some people argued that it would be a waste of time but it is a good practice that we are keeping now since a few years.

Hey Michael. You replied to a comment of mine from yesterday and I followed a link you provided to someone else to this workshop video. I've tried to control my production from start to finish with wood framed prints--shoot, print, mill wood and build frame, procure glass, then mat and mount although at a much smaller scale than you. And just for wood. My method is labourious and not suited for anything more than a few images at a time. It's nice to have control though. Thanks.

@LuminousViewsGallery Жыл бұрын

To get the edges polished like that I use 6 levels of sanding starting at 100 grit paper and going to 3500 grit. The last two grit pads are specially made for car paint. When i get busy enough i will get the $5000 machine as it will save all kinds of time. What is your product?

@@LuminousViewsGallery Thank you so much for your response! I currently do wood work, I make 3D logo signs. But I am looking to get into making these acrylic face mounted art. I am just getting started, I ordered the facemount adhesive roll and a cheap manual laminator just to start of. I have been watching all types of videos in youtube and yours is the only one I see that shows the polished edge so nice. I could not have imagined it was sanded! I thought it was the diamond machine you had. It looks amazing. I have tried sanding the acrylic down but only to 320 and then doing the flame. Which helps but I guess I was missing going even higher on the sanding disk. However, since I have a company that provides the acrylic with the polished edges at an extra charge, I may skip this step all together. But I do see that you polished it after mounting the print, is there a reason for this? Also, do you do the flame afterwards or just sanding it down?

@LuminousViewsGallery Жыл бұрын

@@uniquecraftsbyjenn337 I used to flame polish after 800 grit but the extra fine grit with extra time technique is most consistent and I never do too much (bubbles and burns) or too little (dull) flame/gloss - i mean without the $5K machine. Have seen laser cuts as perfect as my edges but never seen/watch a laser actually make a PERFECT acrylic cut. It has gotta be dialed in I imagine. I do have a diode laser for wood/leather plaques on my frames. It does cut opaque acrylic but not transparent. Your CO2 laser should make perfect cuts if dialed in I imagine - IN ANY SHAPE

@uniquecraftsbyjenn337 Жыл бұрын

@@LuminousViewsGallery yes I have tried getting a polished edge using my laser but I think its not very consistent, in all honesty I only tested once and yes the results were impressive but not perfect. I may have to play around with the speed and power a little more and see where it gets me. The issue is that I only have a bed with a width of 23.5 inch max and I want to make bigger prints, for that reason, I need to learn another method that gets me polished results. As you say, the laser would be great since it can make any shape, I am thinking about laminating the photo and then cutting the acrylic to a special shape with the settings dialed in for polished finished edges. It may be a great product to sell. But first I need to get the laminating process perfect to then go and test some more 🙂 I am excited! Thanks again for your help! I have one more question, how is the sanding disk that you have, the one that you pass the acrylic edge through before sanding it with the orbital manual sander called? Thanks again! I am impressed I was able to get in touch with you after finding this video!
