@@ThingsKatieMakes last Friday a customer picked up two pictures of her son and daughter-in-law (both in the US Air Force) that I engraved on slate. After a lot of tweeking and adjusting I finally got it right. It was done on my Cloudray 50 watt fiber laser. I do this mostly as a hobby as I am retired. I would love to show you pictures but I don't know how to send them to you without compromising both our privacy.

You should cut another set on the thunder, but increase your line interval and then turn on the ramp length. I run 200 speed, 34 power, .030 line interval, and a ramp length of .0295 on the outer edge. The ramp length increases the rigidity of the thin areas on the stamp, which your design will benefit from.

Interesting! I’ve never used ramp length - I’ll have to check it out. Really appreciate the feedback!

@@ThingsKatieMakes it makes the stamps last longer too, less delicate, just as detailed. And by dropping my speed, I only needed one pass, but with the higher LPI, it took just as long.

I was hoping for a tutorial on how to make a font stamp with ramps to strengthen the image and guarantee a beautifully stamped image. As a long time avid stamper I'd be very disappointed getting this kind of Stamp from a seller.

Katie- Great video tutorial. You mention a video showing you going through the steps to mount using foam and other things, but you forgot to actually add the link to that video. Can you please provide the video link in which you go through the steps you've taken to mount the stamp to a wood block using foam? Thanks,

i tried to laser a stamp in my OMTech 55watt ONCE!! It made a mess EVERYWHERE. 1) I assume you had air assist on, how much pressure? 2) I ask #1 becuse i thought i saw flames on the Thunder lasering - is that right? 3) I used the orange rubber - stunk to high heaven. Does the gray small as bad? 4) i see the gray matter on the honeycomb - how easy to clean off? 5) Can i ask more question instead off googling for myself? No i wont ;-) Great video - very informative & easy to follow.
@ThingsKatieMakes10 ай бұрын
I actually keep the air pretty low so it doesn't blow too much around, so just a "whisper" during engraving and on during cutting. I will get a flame now and then during cutting, but as long as I see it go out quickly, I'm ok. The gray isn't as messy and I think it doesn't smell quite as bad. I'm not too concerned about keeping my honeycomb really clean - I'm either masking things I'm putting down on it, or cleaning them up after, so I don't worry about it too much. That said, the powder mess is generally pretty easy to clean up! Thank you for the compliment and ask away!
