CNC R&D Fridays! - GlowMaker mini laser engraver VS anodised alloy plate.

Hey Followers,

We love testing out new things. One of our followers asked if it was possible for our GlowMaker to etch into an anodised alloy layer.


The answer is a resounding yes! :D


We actually worked out that a Power of 80 and a Brightness of 125 made the best result and a super clear and effective QR code.


Full power actually was way too strong and affected the QR code slightly. It did however still recognize on our phones.


With the optimal settings, the QR code was actually detected from quite a distance on our phone tests.


We also made a cool dabbing unicorn at the end, just because we could!

We hope your enjoy this video.
