Laser Projects
Cutting, engraving, and the occasional small fire. Each post has the details, process, and settings you need to duplicate it yourself.
Wood Engraving: Fire Bear
An AI-generated firefighter-bear logo, laser-engraved onto a turtle-shaped hardwood tray. The whole workflow: prompt, typeface, xTool Creative Space, burn.
Nametag Placard + Business Card Holder
An acrylic desk placard that clips onto a laser-engraved aluminum business card. About $2 in materials and half an hour of laser time — real settings included.
Material Settings and Calibration
The cut and engrave settings I actually recorded, pulled out of my project write-ups and collected on one page: 3 mm black acrylic and anodized aluminum cards on the xTool F1.
Man Card: 5 AI Designs Engraved on Aluminum (xTool F1)
A metal Man Card you can hand out or confiscate as needed. Five AI-generated designs, two engraved aluminum cards, and the exact xTool F1 settings that worked.
Black Aluminum Business Cards
Engrave your own metal business cards on an xTool F1 for about sixteen cents each. Two designs, the two-layer settings that work on black aluminum, and a safety lecture worth actually reading.
