Engraved Glass
-
The glass was spray painted flat black. The picture was tuned from a jpg line drawing into a DXF file. Engraved with my EleksMaker A3 Pro 2.5w - T2Laser software; 150 feed rate, 255 laser power, resolution 0.09

@KarrMcDebt Very nice!
Did you coat / engrave the back with a reversed design?
Are you planning to back or edge light it?
Some general hints for all users: You can use an image and trace it in T2Laser, also use my DXF Optimizer to significantly reduce the etching time.

I use CRC Dry Moly Lube as a coating. Just tried marker and flat black acrylic paint, but like the moly lube the best. Had a wine glass crack with the paint; don't know why, tho. Use Elekscam software, max power, 500 speed. Haven't really gotten the hang of your T2 software.

Yes, spray painted the back with flat back paint, I reversed the design and then "Trace bitmap" in Inkscape.
I've found that glass does not transfer light like acrylic does. I need to acid etch or sand the edge of the glass and then it can light up.

@Zax
Where can I find the download for your optimizer?

@KarrMcDebt It's integrated in T2Laser, select it in the DXF settings menu.

Thanks much
