Weekend project: Etching a laptop.
This one's a MacBook Air (first rev), which has the curious problem of not having a parallel top and bottom surface. That's a problem because the laser expects to engrave a more-or-less flat surface; it has a flat focal plane.
There's a trick, of course. The box that the Air comes in has a plastic cradle that holds the top surface of the computer level-- so use that to hold it while you etch.
Engraving settings: 100% speed, 70% power with the stock lens on an Epilog 45W.

Etching. Ink on Paper, circa 1983(?) and I'm still a big fan of subterranean civilization, so we can all share a BIG back yard!

part of my solo exhibition 'All of This is Anything' at the Glasgow Print Studio October 23-November 29, 2015
One of my favorite features of the assembly hall is this etching of Jesus and his apostles located between the north hallway and the main auditorium. It is really striking and beautiful.

I have finally got around to framing the last three David Hunter etching I got this year. They are the three smaller ones on the staircase wall - I have long ago started running out of space on my walls for my collection.
Tried Laen's home etching test dorkbotpdx.org/blog/laen/adventures_in_etching_the_test_p...
1200dpi laser printer -> 112gsm tracing paper -> presensitized FPC-16 -> silicate developer -> Hot ferric chloride + bubbler
The 8mil track is fine, I'm happy with that.
If anyone can do better with similar equipment, I'd love to find out how...

I framed this today - I have a few etching by Artist David Hunter that I have yet to frame so I am doing them as time (and funds) permits. I ordered my supplies from AmericanFrame.Com ( www.americanframe.com/?gclid=CNSAwpONtqcCFQlPgwodQX9G_g ). This etching is an Artist Proof. I like Hunter's work.
El otro dia de quedada Zara (Estela) nos explico la tecnica etching, para ser la primera vez no ha quedado muy mal, cuando me dijo que ibamos a hacer esta tecnica enseguida se me vino a la cabeza unos broches que hizo Daoine (Noelia) gracias!!

Laser Etching Primer (which I painted a copper board with). Its pretty high resolution and its only a 2.4"x2.4" board.
This is the Makerbot Stepper Controller Board V3. This is a double sided board and should be interesting to see if I can accomplish accurately a way to etch the back side as well.
