LowRider-inspired Foam Ripper

was that with your older laser or the new neje one? I really like the 3D effect of that pic.

That is with a little 2.3W Banggood/Eleksmaker laser I was using 1-1/2 years ago… not the new Neje one. The Norton White Tile method actually seems to work best with a low-powered diode laser. While there are some who’ve done reasonably well with a higher-powered laser since, the most stunning always seem to be following closely the instruction given in this video…

As far as the “3d-illusion” in a 2d photo… I’m not sure how that’s done. I purchased the elephant files from a vendor on Etsy… there are several vendors offering 2d files that look 3d and they are amazing.

Kids got the new dog, so it seems expected that I do something about it…

Mentioned cleaning the lens last post and I think it really had a positive effect. I was able to up the speed and power back up to previous levels (1200 mm/min and 85%) and started getting far better results…

Daughter and I decided we need a small photo/tile stand… so cut one from 3mm plywood with the Neje A40640 laser module…

Finally, after a tough day (and following the dog’s example)… I took a nap.
