Which do you like better? Both etched on MakeIt Labs' MOPA fiber laser.

This is an ice stamp I made for my wife for Valentine's Day. I used the fiber laser at my makerspace to cut the Polish Eagle into a brass drawer pull. The handle is a modified Shaker peg.

It works by the heat from the thermal mass of the brass melting the design into the ice cube when pressed into it.

Lasering a brass drawer knob to create an ice stamp. This is a trial one before I work up the custom artwork.

A friend expressed a desire to drive the length of US Route 20 (I assume in his 1959 Thunderbird), so I put together each state's GPS routes and laser engraved the USB drive appropriately.

Fiber laser | monportlaser

What is fiber laser engraving? Well, if you have ever used a lens to make a fire, then you probably know that the lens focuses light from the sun and converts it into heat that can cause burning. Similarly, the fiber laser engraving machine generates strong light at the end of the fiber optic cable, and then generates a powerful laser beam. Then use this beam to engrave (or even cut) patterns on different materials.

Testing engraving a blank brass coin with a Star Wars Aztec Calendar. Using a @omtechlaser 100W MOPA Fiber laser. Did some deep some passes at 50mm/s at 85% power that left it dark. Then a cleanup at 500mm/s 30% power. Still testing 👍
