I HAVE PURCHASED A LASER AND I’M HAVING GOOD RESULTS MAKING SCALE WINDOWS AND DOORS BRICK IS TURNING OUT VERY SHARP AND HAVE MY FIRST BUILDING PAINT READY . THIS IS A IMPRESSIVE MEDIUM FOR MODEL BUILDING. AS SCALE CAN BE CHANGED EASILY FOR THE VARIOUS ‘G’ SCALES WINDOWS WITH VERY THIN DIVIDERS COME OUT AT .035’’ . IT TAKES ABOUT 30 MIN TO CUT A STORE FRONT WITH A DOOR . IF THEIR IS INTEREST I WILL ATTEMPT TO POST PHOTOS RAY
Love to see the pics Ray, and the method.
Post pics please
Would love to see how it works.
Interest here, also what system are you using? Scanning, printing??
Laser cutting/engraving is very versatile.
Our EPILOG Helix24 (24"x18"; 60W) gets fed CorelDraw files, but I use CADrail to design the parts, export them as DXF to Corel and go from there. Paper, Bristol board, cardboard, styrene, styrofoam, wood, acrylics are some of the materials I use. Haven’t tried laser board yet, but it’s on the list.
I’ve cut tree ornaments that were 1/8 thick (3mm birch) and the narrowest cross section was .040" (1mm), but that gets tricky with wood (very fragile).
WOUD SOME ONE HOLD MY HAND TO HELP ME POST PHOTOS RE SIZING AND ATTACHING AROUND THESE FIREWALL S REGARDS RAY
Hi Ray - Welcome! There is a picture posting tutorial here…

Not sure what your firewall issue may be. As far as re-sizng there are several programs that you can get free that will do it for you. I’m sure someone will offer up suggestions. Your pictures need to be no wider than 800 pixels to display the full width on LSC. Larger pictures can be posted, but the software will cut off the right side beyond 800 pixels.
Work in progress nearly ready for front and paint
