Wow! Nice work… and thanks for the kind words! Playing with lasers! What fun…
Actually, I’m a little confused with your last posts as to what material(s) you are working with. I was pretty sure you were engraving and cutting different woods; i.e. paint stirrers, etc… but then you are mentioning tiles, white-washing, and scraping on the line work?
You might check back in this thread… it may jog your memory and I think it follows the same/similar progression you seem to be following
I went from engraving/cutting chipboard (cereal box cardboard) to Walmart jumbo craft sticks (birch, I think) and then to a broken piece of ceramic tile, and finally white-washed craft-sticks again.
The Norton tile method is a distinct method and the white-washed wood is a different one. It appears to me that you are mixing them up a bit. Read through that thread and see if it doesn’t clear things up for you. These methods are not original with me… they were “borrowed” from @Bulldog over on the Lightburn forum and I was just trying to replicate his work.
The same/similar/different laser related information is also sprinkled through several other threads… here’s a couple
You are using a more powerful laser than my 2.5W Eleksmaker and Neje units… so your actual feeds and power settings will probably be a bit different than mine, but hopefully they’ll be in the ballpark.
