One interesting little fact I've discovered is that if I input a picture from elsewhere (photoshop, for example) the engraver software reduces it by 58%! A bit bizarre as it's a funny figure and took a bit of testing and calculating to prove it. The software might be pretty rudimentary, although adequate, but it seems a bit strange. It also occasionally won't print and the software needs to be re-started, no big deal, just annoying.

When it prints though it's great.

I've noticed that too. I find if I up the resolution from 72x72 to 150x150, it's not as bad. I also double the size of the image I'm working on so if I want a final image of 2"x3", I make my image in GIMP 4"x6"

 

What engraver do you have? I have the SixDu 80mm 1500mw and run it under windows 7. There was recently an update that caused mine to stop at 5minutes. Removed the update (it's a virtual machine so don't really care about security on it) and it's working great again.

Nice work, prefer the darket ones though, how will you treat them after the print to keep the black colour  as presumably its just the burnt leather

Depends on the design but generally 15-25 minutes

Yes, the design is basically burnt in the leather. I've been treating them the same as everything else, resolene or satin shene, depending on if I need full water resistance or not

This may be of interest to people wanting to laser more or bigger parts - 15 watt power,  800mm x 400mm work area.

Tt can be flat packet into 3 chunks for compact shipping world wide.

There is also a version with complete exhaust extraction, air assist at cutting area, Safety viewing lens drop down over cut area for office use.
