Leather is a hearty and durable material ideal for laser engraving. Here you'll see how we engraved a fun steampunk design on this cool leather flask.
This flask even features its own collapsible shot glass for the perfect touch. Read on to learn how we did it and make sure to check out the video below that shows the engraving process.
For this project, we used a 50-watt Helix with the following settings:
100% speed, 60% power, 600 dpi, Jarvis dithering
Adjust the settings for your laser and wattage using the suggested settings from the manual.
Open the file and modify the design as you would like.
Open the file and make any necessary modifications. When you're ready, send it to the laser and you're all set!
Due to the shape of the flask, we'll be using the Center-Center engraving option, so we're not limited to the upper left corner of the engraving table.
To utilize the Center-Center function, place the flask anywhere on the table, turn on your Red Dot Pointer, disable your XY axis and move the laser head to the area you want to engrave. Press the "Set Home" button, and this will be your new home position
We'll send you a brochure, as well as engraved and cut samples created with the laser.
