Mounting engraver bit to Makita collet resulted in excessively deep gouged scratches. Instead of simply finding/making a weaker spring , instead, I created Mount + Drag bit adaptor (for RDZ engraving bit).
Tried drag mount with point light source, better results, but lighting has to be just right.
LowRider 3 CNC - Add-on - Drag Knife Holder - designed for LR3 Dust Shoe (v2.1)
I’m currently at work on designing a tool-less changer for accessories that will accommodate remixed versions of this new drag knife mount and my previous pen mount, as well as various related laser mounts, etc. More soon on that.
In the meantime, as requested…
The drag knife sold by the V1 Engineering shop has a ridge on it, that made use of my previous remix unusable for it. This is a mash up of Ryan’s frontend and my remix’s backend.
Here some of my update, made with fiber laser 50w on stainless steel, it’s takes near 17 sec. to engrave, i have only few minutes for tests so it’s not perfect but have some progress.
Nice! Nice symbol too. @Ic_In, what do you think of the results? I had to setup the lighting just right to see anything meaningful on the glossy black acrylic I’ve been using. What’s the line thickness and depth?
Was curious what kind of results are possible on laser. I don’t, and probably won’t ever, have access to 50w fiber laser, so it’s great to see your results.
What software are you using?
Update from me… Been hacking away at the app code shared earlier in the topic, but happy to switch to alternatives that are working better for people? Much of the recent hacking has been spent profiling and removing bottlenecks to speed up processing. Am undecided on whether to wrap up into something reliable and usable enough for other folks to use without them frustrated, or end up with too many questions. If someone’s interested in trying out, let me know, cheers!
I definitely am, but time is tight and the drag knife and I haven’t come to an agreement how it is supposed to work. But I’d love to get back to you later.
