Re: [MBZ] 3D Printer -- Laser
A friend of mine laser engraves wood for pistol grips he sells at gun shows. More recently he takes ammo cans, coats them with some magic stuff and then burns it back off with the laser. He gave me a couple with the Maine state seal on them, pretty cool stuff. -Curt On Tuesday, December 11, 2018, 10:00:45 AM EST, Floyd Thursby via Mercedes wrote: Need a fairly high-powered laser to do that.

The little machines use a diode laser, some are supposedly 5W but probably more like 2.5W. Those will engrave on wood and leather, maybe cut thin stock in several passes. --FT On 12/10/18 10:36 PM, Craig via Mercedes wrote: > I could have you make custom stainless steel labels for my truck ... > > > Craig -- --FT ___ http://www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com ___ http://www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com
Re: [MBZ] 3D Printer -- Laser
Need a fairly high-powered laser to do that. My 60W might do it with a special coating that absorbs the laser energy. Something called Cermark is supposedly the best, but others say molybdenum sulfide dry lubricant works too. I had some and tried it on some aluminum soda can stock, it sorta worked but I did not fool with it too much. The little machines use a diode laser, some are supposedly 5W but probably more like 2.5W. Those will engrave on wood and leather, maybe cut thin stock in several passes. --FT On 12/10/18 10:36 PM, Craig via Mercedes wrote: I could have you make custom stainless steel labels for my truck ...
