Mirror plate engraving with festive design
I wanted to engrave a Mirror Plate since I got my laser, so I bought a few from my to go to cheap Store here in Austria. I had the design saved, I saw it a while back here on Atom and saved it for this specific Project, a mirror engraving, thought it would look cool. I search here for settings to engrave for my machine, couldn't find any, hence my Project sharing. Tought it would make life easier for others. Plate is 12x12 cm, design is framed to 10x10 cm. Setting found on youtube, and sharing with all of you here, they worked like a charm 50% 500mm/s 200 Lines Greyscale. I painted the mirror side with chalk paint, and flipped it over. On more thing, on my next mirror engraving I will slightly elevate the mirror to avoid scorching, you can see the picture. Naturally you have to flip the design as it would be engraved on the reverse side of the mirror not the reflecting side. I want to thank Lars for the design he shared here on Atom, and the guy who shared the settings on youtube Ken Print, i just made a summary for the people to find easier. I think it looks great when finished. I don't know if you can see it but it is see trough when engraved. Thought I would paint it gold for a little contrast.
Hope this helps.
