Laser Engraved Snow Globe Winter Cabin Scene on Black Acrylic
Instruction
Information
Create a winter scene with this free Atomm file. In this file, I provide two original images (for you to practice editing) and two completed edits of the same image. If you're new, this can be very helpful when learning what you like and for testing REAL bitmap images for processing versus vectors.
The settings included are for an Infrared laser (F2 5W), but can easily be adapted for any IR or BL laser module. If you're new to the F2, setting up the file is easy and I'll upload a video with step by step instructions.
Instruction
Step1
Open the Atomm file and ensure the image is set to engrave. My settings are included for the F2, infrared module.
Load black acrylic into the machine (I did not use masking) and ensure it is level.
Auto-measure and position the design onto the item using the camera. If you are using the S1 with the IR module, auto-measure and then mark the processing area. Position the design within it.
Set the parameters if they don’t load automatically. The F2 5W IR settings I used are 600 dot, 95 power, 400 speed, 1 pass, Jarvis.
Frame, if desired, and process. The manual edit took 6 minutes, the auto edit took just under 9 minutes.
Clean the acrylic with Novus acrylic cleaner and display.
Notes: There are two images included which are slightly different and both originals (no edits) are included.
I used AIMake within Studio to make to create image 1 (original output). I used Studio to manually edit the image for processing by inverting the image, adjusting brightness (down for dark surfaces), and sharpness (up).
For image 2, I removed quite a bit of the reflection in Photoshop and used the “Auto Adjust” inside Studio to prepare the image for processing. Provided in the Atomm file are the two versions of the photo and edits, however, my settings are the same for both edits using black acrylic and the infrared laser. Images are prepared for dark surfaces, so use the originals if engraving on wood or other materials.
