thanks again, back in the day I had a hard time using this file on the old CO2 laser possibly too busy
but the fiber laser does not miss a beat

There are several of these vector calendars here in our forums if you want more.
Nice Job!

I had done this file back in 2012 with a 100 watt co2 laser and had quite a time with it as its very detailed and you have to keep it large or
the engrave looks like burned hardwood
But on metal its a different story , it looks good
The fiber laser would have been a great tool for you doing the buckles

Seems to me you have to engrave this one on a very large blank in order to appreciate the detail.
Polished brass or stainless steel would be amazing.

I can't remember what the max size is for your fiber laser table.
You want to use thin plate instead of thin sheet metal so it will stay flat.

Awesome, that's a good size and would be useful for a variety of projects.

I am hoping it will be , I also have a 70mm lens and I am hoping it will cut stainless and aluminum , I think it will many passes
Fiber lasers seem to do many passes , like coins at 512 passes 1 hr 45 min to complete
I am not there yet still trying everything I can think of as far as material goes

Keep me informed as you learn more about your fiber laser, I am interested in the specs and what it will do.
