Well started the morning with working on a logo. Burn some samples in some spruce (what I use to make the items) and logo looked decent, not great but ok.
Moved on and decided to work with my rotary. I've got a bunch of cups to do for Christmas gifts and giveaways.
I had done one the other day that came out ok, knew I still needed to tweek settings to get right.
So set up and ran the first. What the heck! Really poor looking logo. Play with settings, try again, no dice.
Now I don't have settings correct for the rotary movement either, full rotation is 10mm dia x 3.1415 or 314mm.
Machine says that I'm over rotating at 296mm. So I adjust the circle pulse and try again. Not quite around, and poor cutting, ragged.
Keep working with it. run the cup with different logo, different settings. etc, etc. NOTHING gets better!
So I finally said let's throw the rotary out and try flat sample I powder coated a while back and ran great looking sample the other day.
WTH! it is still looking crappy, changed settings a few times NOTHING gets better. If anything it is worse.
Here is a picture of my cup.... see the jagged logo?
So I thought to myself
OK, I'll do this..........
And what do you think I found?349009
Think about it a minute and I'll tell you :0
