Great Video Once Again!

[@slo_carry]

Very cool! Can't wait to see how the rotary tool works with it. Maybe this is the laser to save up for... Thanks for sharing!

[@Doodlebud]

The cable just arrived so will be playing around when I have some free time. Looking forward to seeing the results!

[@benjaminpastrana9662]

Excellent walkthru

[@JefferyHall-ct2tr]

Hi DB: The wonders of modern technology! Can't wait to see what you can do on pens!!

[@Doodlebud]

The cable I need just arrived!

[@archivist17]

I'd be engraving everything in sight! 😂

[@raventhelight9357]

Me too

[@EnCwoisant]

Djoooooodle-bud!

[@becomingdryork2919]

Very cool! I just got my F1 this week. Can you please share your settings for the photo of the Trailer Park Boys? Thanks in advance.

[@Doodlebud]

I can't remember exactly but 99% sure I just used the setting when I selected black oxide costing from the material drop down list

[@becomingdryork2919]

Thanks much@@Doodlebud

[@MrAndrew1953]

Very advanced tech. Can it do any fancy heraldry,calligraphy?

[@Doodlebud]

Whatever file you send to it to engrave... it will engrave. Calligraphy, no problem

[@MrAndrew1953]

@@Doodlebud will AI make it obsolete or effect this technology at all?

[@Seefood73]

I see their tool is not available for Linux, is there anything FOSS I can use instead or is it a proprietary protocol? Also, I see you mainly engrave bitmaps and not splines. is there a benefit for that approach? I mean bitmap to vector software does exist, AFAIK.

[@Doodlebud]

No Linux support as far as I know. I engrave bitmap, SVG, DXF, etc. Just depends on the images. Sometimes conversions can mess up an image so I go for what gives a clear result. Sometimes its slower, but if I'm only engraving a few it makes no difference. If I had a large batch, I would look into spending more time on images that are taking a long time

[@ichirofakename]

you are having too much fun!

[@Doodlebud]

I love lasers. I can spend hours testing ideas and seeing what can be done.

[@bowlandleather]

Quick question, does the F1 cut or just engrave?

[@Doodlebud]

It can cut only thinner materials and if small size. Their XY systems are more geared towards cutting. The F1 shines best with engraving as it has higher resolution & it's VERY fast.

[@bowlandleather]

@@Doodlebud Brilliant, thank you. I’ve been looking for a while to get a laser engraver/cutter and the F1 is on offer atm but I think I need it to cut as well. Been looking at the M1 but can’t decide lol.

[@Doodlebud]

@@bowlandleather I have the S1 and D1 Pro systems. Been very happy with them kzbin.info/www/bejne/p5mnfaZuap1qjpY
