[Lab] leather and laser

Sat Feb 15 16:07:59 EST 2014

The problem is laser engravers usually only have an x,y control, so any
cutting or engraving has to be in a plane, since the bean is carefully
focused down
 some have a rotary attachment, so cylinders would work for
those. This means you would either have to get a very fancy laser cutter, or
flatten the skull or antlers.

oh that would be cool. 

Where would you get the antlers? i’d love to do/have some to experiment. i
have seen some interesting painted designs on cow skulls
<http://imgur.com/a/PDZIX>  as well recently but got to figure out where to
get some to experiment with.

I was actually looking into something related, cutting into deer antlers.

The smell goes away fairly quickly, somewhere between barbeque and burning
hair. It cuts and engraves well. One of the guys at Kwartzlab has been doing
cow hide, I think...

I get the feeling cutting and engraving works well. But not sure I'm in the
mood for odd smells. :)

Hey.

I engraved regular cow hide before and with low power it works quite well
(mind you the smell). 

Cheers,

Henri

Please tell me that you meant to write "deer hide"!? :)
