Скачать или смотреть Etch a pop can using the rotary roller

I wanted to use the Genmitsu rotary roller (from SainSmart) with my LE5040 laser, so I painted a pop can with some florescent orange paint and then covered that with black paint. The intent is to have the laser set so it burns off the black and leaves the orange. I started at 100% power and 2,000 mm/min speed on my 5500mW laser. That was a little too much power so I lowered it to 75% which seemed to do well.


Since this turned out well, I am going to do a few more cans for the dads this fall at Buck Frenzy. I think a base coat of something like a primer will help the orange stand out better. I have 3 coats of orange on the can and I could still see through it.
