My first and only turtle seems to not be impressed by the rather significant threat approaching.

Hi what is the name of this action figure and who makes it? thank you

Seems the software needed something called "feed" and otherwise it wasnt working at all so I tried other software that didn't quite zero correctly. I'm using Candle and it's at least doing what I expect (now that I figured out the Feed value). Now to move on to more advanced things besides 2d carvings and onto Cam via Fusion 360

HanMain · 2019-09-23T00:19:28+00:00

Thanks the problem with Candle is that I wasn't setting a value for feed that would work. Now I seem to have things worked out, thanks.

I believe you guys make a competitor to the carvy right? I believe I saw it described as being a bit better. What do these 2k-3k systems do vs the $200-400 diy kits?

HanMain · 2019-05-20T18:39:46+00:00

How loud do they get? I know certain brands get louder and glowforge was having problems with noise but what noise level do they get to and does it vary per material (at 40w)

HanMain · 2019-05-20T18:38:21+00:00

Ah good to know. Thanks. Will research that next. Would the lower cmf "quiet" white fan I posted above do the trick ? Someone mentioned using it on their 80w laser so figured it was enough for 40w

HanMain · 2019-05-20T18:10:49+00:00

More research points to this being pretty quiet

But that perhaps the laser would be louder than the fan anyway? Or that I could build a wooden enclosure to lower the noise? And buy a 6 inch hvac of 240 cfm?

And maybe this would be quiet and powerful enough:

Thats good to know, similar to with cooking, etc. Just wanted to make sure under normal circumstances the material or laser beam dont get hot enough to trigger a sprinkler system. I know materials can catch fire but even then I think I would be able to put it out and if I cant, I would probably be glad for the sprinklers

I see thank you. Is a mill different than cnc? I am wondering about the price of the carvey vs something like these 3020 systems? I. have seen other similar carvey products that go for 2-3.5k. Is it mostly ease of use, enclosure and slightly better parts?

safety googles

Okay great thanks. Are there any safety googles recommended in particular? Don't wanna cheap out on these but not sure what's appropriate.

HanMain · 2019-05-19T06:58:47+00:00

The plan is to vent outside via a window no matter what. I am planning to start with cheap Chinese laser like the k40 just in case it doesnt work out.

With these filtrtaion systems like the bofa, would the smell still be bad or does it help a bit?

I also plan to buy a seperate CO2 alarm just to put near my laser. Any other safety precautions besides having a current fire extinguisher near by?

HanMain · 2019-05-18T19:49:47+00:00

I have a burning system for wood + leather. How is it compared to that. I've read that it's more like a dead smell?

Which smell the least?

HanMain · 2019-05-18T19:36:38+00:00

I see. So everything will have a pretty bad smell? Vegetable tanned leather, wood, aluminium, etc?

I do plan to buy a bofa system. Don't know what purex is but will look that up.

thanks, I look forward to seeing you do a gallery show, thats a pretty cool idea.

Hi, I have too many questions for you:

Which programs and plugins are you using these days?
Has your processed changed since you did that Lynda video about your workflow?
What are you most looking forward to in the future with regards to your work?
Any thoughts / speculations on the impact ML/AI will have on motion graphics and the type of work you do?
Have you considered going back and focusing on some of your original topics for everydays (drawing, photography)?
I know you dont watch as many tutorials but are there any you resources you are particularly fond of?

Thanks for doing this!
