Knight Chess Piece commemorative Coin
Instruction
Information
A nice contrasty Depth Map to use with the stock Brass commemorative Coin Emboss Easy Set material.
Engraved using the F2 Ultra with the 60W MOPA, results may differ on the F1.
Instruction
Step1: File Origin
I downloaded the Depth Map from here: https://www.laser-pics.com/image/others-depth-map-cce5c/
The file is already included in the .xcs File in this Template
All Credit goes to the Original Author Bruce Jess
Step2: Open the .xcs Project
I added the Depth Map to the Canvas, scaled it to fit the coin, and loaded the Easy Set Brass Coin Settings.
You will already have the settings set up and the depth map scaled at 38mm (so it leaves the border of the coin).
Step3: Engrave the design
Add your Material to the Machine volume, focus, and center the image onto your coin.
Double check that its centered with the preview function in XCS. Then process and start the project. Engraving took around 1,5hr on the F2, results may differ on the F1.
Step4: Post Processing
I used a Dremel with Wire and Scotch Brite attachements to get rid of the oxide layer and polish it up to a satin finish.
