I apologize for taking so long in updating this request and where it ended up. Thru linkedIn, I found someone who works for Synrad. I reached out and they contacted the defunct Ricochet product...
Someone out here has to remember this product. The Genie garment laser. I purchased one back in 2006 with the intent of a kiosk in the local mall engraving jeans etc. Well... that didn't work out,...
I have one of these machines. I purchased it back in 2006 with the intent of installing it in a kiosk at the local mall... well, that didn't work out. Now, a few years down the road, the battery for...
I have had this problem before too. I built my own system and found that when the beam is not hitting the focus lens in the middle, it would cause it to deflect at an angle. If your X/Y...
Mikah,
Excellent work bud. May I just add my 2 cents? I would take your detail just one step further and add the chain links to the chain and lines in the springs etc. to make that thing really...
I have had EXTREMELY good luck with taking a picture of something with my iphone and using that data to import it into Corel. Pretty cheap. High resolution too.
When exporting a DXF file with Corel, you should have a choice in what release of ACAD DXF file convention you want to export. The version you are using exports SPLINES. Try an earlier release and...
I would venture to say that if you are going for the big contracts, you will eventually have to invest in the equipment. Here is my approach for keeping the laser in focus and perpendicular to the...
Not sure what version of Corel you guys are using to get such inconsistent results, but in 10, you have the choice of which version of AutoCAD you use to export your DXF file as. If you choose a...
Vicki, to answer your question.... no. I think I understand 3D to be a true "Z" or third axis. I am attempting to come up with a solution to engraving on a curved (actually domed) surface with an...
Well, after reading a little about the subject here yesterday, I looked around and saw the Egg-Bot device (very clever by the way, and inexpensive) but didn't see much about using a laser. I saw...
I REALLY would like to know more about the egg engraving/carving. I think I could do that application...
Duane, you there?

I am resurrecting this old thread to see if there is any interest in this application and if I can help anyone accomplish it...

Sorry, did not mean to hijack the thread... Maybe I should have just emailed Duane directly about the egg thing...

Its not really an "attachment" but my home built flatbed linear motor driven X/Y table that I fitted with a 40 Watt CO2 chinese laser. I originally wanted to engrave on motorcycle windshields. It...
Duane,
Are you looking for a solution to vector on an egg problem? Or a tapered surface? I have developed a way to keep the beam perpendicular to the surface when there is a curve in one direction...
Exporting from Corel as DXF, depending on what version of AutoCAD you are using, will put shapes out as Splines and will exhibit the rounding of corners etc. Using an earlier version of AutoCAD will...
Plus shipping...
I have a home built 40 watt CO2 setup. My original setup was a used Synrad 25 watt tube that eventually out, and at nearly $800 + shipping there and back to get it repaired pretty much forced me to...
Radio Shaft is probably your best bet. Just about any thru beam or reflective beam sensor would work here, wired up to a sonalert or a simple one shot relay to a beeper. I bet they have everything...
I went to a website that allows you to create the CR code on the screen and then download it to your computer. I was successful in converting it to a tiff file (raster interpretation of the image)...
if you want to try some of this laserboard (polybak) as stencil material, let me know and I can send you out some samples that I have left over from cutting my sheets up. Just give me the postage...
I have some "laserboard" (brand name polybak) that works extremely well for stencils. Made of resin impregnated paper at .011" thick, cuts with a CO2 laser like butter with no dangerous outgassing. ...
I can do that for you. I have one machine set up to do fabric and leather exclusively. The largest size design I can do is 8" x 8". From what I see in your picture, that is what you have there. ...
I see lots of references on google for this kind of product. I did not dig into pricing and availability tho... but just wanted to mention that I have a supply of resin impregnated paper that may do...
