Easel Settings For 30183/11/2024 ![]() ![]() Having had success with the MDF, I was keen to try engraving, and cutting acrylic, as I do make some templates for the wife’s patchwork she does, but they are 3D printed, and she would prefer acrylic. ![]() ![]() I painted some MDF Black and then did the engraving, which turned out rather well. While the signs were OK, without any painting/staining they were a bit dull. The wife was pleased about the machine working, but said it was too loud!! The V cutters supplied with the machine did the job, and I did err on the side of caution and ran them at 200mm/min, which was a bit less than the speed suggested by the Inventables, who supply the Easel software.Īs the machine is in my study, the noise went all through the house. Lucky for me I had done some more homework, and found a very helpful young fella on Youtube called James Dean, of James Dean Designs, who had done a tutorial on fitting a Z probe onto the 3018. Not really knowing what I was doing at this stage, I was a bit apprehensive watching the spindle spinning up to 8000rpm, and then moving down towards the MDF. ![]()
