Information

      In this project I made an engraved line art of a wedding photo on an acrylic glass sheet that can be inserted into a LED light base. Since I have an xTool M1 Ultra which cannot engrave or cut fully transparent material like transparent acrylic glass using the Laser mode, I hacked it so that I can still engrave with the machine using the Pen drawing mode.

I got a used LED Lamp Craft Kit from Crelando, which comes with the LED light base, the acrylic sheets and the engraving pen required for the making process. Here is a purchase link for an alternative.
To use the engraving pen with the xTool M1 Ultra, I 3D-printed this pen adapter.

I used the following prompt in ChatGPT to create a line art of our wedding photo:

Make a line art Illustration from this photo with black strokes on a fully white background, focusing on the couple in the foreground. Simplify the lace details on the woman‘s dress and the hair strokes on both of them. Add some simplified strokes for the flower bush in the background.

Add text of choice to the file. To get the best results for drawing texts with the drawing pen, download a single line font and use it for the text.

Apply the Color filling settings for the line art photo and the Line drawing settings for the text.
