visual manual
Indenteto attend the fab academy - "How to Make (almost) Anything", I decide to carry the project out with the exploration of visual manual of how to make (almost) anything!
Why? Simply because while I am in fablab, I often seen people as well as myself getting frustrated with how the machines and its setting.
My goal is to make experiments on the machines provide in fablab and come up with visual manual for the user.
My first trial is to engrave the wood surface with gradient file.
and I tried it out with different setting on the laser cutting machine.
and I tried it out with different setting on the laser cutting machine.#1 setting
engrave: speed 19, power 95, PPI 1000
cut : speed 2, power 100, PPI 1000
#2 setting
engrave: speed 19, power 50, PPI 1000
#3 setting
engrave : speed 9, power 50, PPI 1000
Note: with a lower speed, the laser will work on the surface longer which means it will burn more.
#4 setting on 3Dmode
engrave: speed 20, power 50, ppi 1000
When put all the trials together we could see that the setting in speed and power affect the surface of the material
the machine can also make a reverse image of the file
