We finally got around to completing the Geometric pattern tutorial that was posted on here aeons ago - which we totaly pwnd and did a much better job at ;)
Following up from the preview of the rotational engraving samples - here be a rundown of the process with added pics for you all to see!
all starts here - select rtation attachment in the printing preferences, this will as for the diameter of the object, and the height of the document.
This is the view from trotec before we're ready to press go.
In trotec we have to define certain perameters for the functioon to work.
Alt + Ctrl + S will open up this dialog box allowing you to select rotation as an assessory
And this one - select no moves which should stop the laser head from colliding with the rotation axis. (Important!)
One thing we discovered was that your stock needs to be bigger than the artwork to allow for the laser to run off each edge without collisions.
The next step would be using different materials, and also marking and cutting which I whink would look great!
