This video is a start to finish of how i achieve the best photos for laser engraving below is a list of chapters if you just want to skip to a certain part, i am a photographer and have practiced on the laser to get to a point that i am happy with, if you have any questions please leave a message below and i will get back to you, if you like the content please subscribe for more videos.
Check out how to laser cut a 3×2 meter wide acrylic sign with our SP3000 laser cutter. It’s ideal for fabricating interior and outdoor signage, dimensional letters, pop displays and many more acrylic fabricates.
We used 6 mm thick acrylic for producing this welcome sign. As this figures is 2 m wide, we used the Trotec SP3000 Large Format Cutting Machine for processing. With a working area of 3 x 2 meters the SP3000 is perfectly suited for cutting large format materials like acrylics, wood, textiles, cardboard and more.
Other Rotary Setup Methods:
– Use an additional stepper driver and enable the U-axis on the Ruida 6445g using a firmware update that was released at the end of last year. However at the time of this video I was unable to get the update to function correctly. This may be because I’m a big dummy or because the firmware is still buggy. This would be the most practical method if you are able to get it working. Link to my initial info:
– The other method is to add in another stepper driver and use a switch to select which axis to drive. Link to my initial info:
