Engraving Collection

 I've put together an inspirational image, to get a feel for what is possible with your K6 Laser Engraver. Click on the image for the full size version.

1. Small sweet box, created as a gift for a relative. The dark text is Black & White mode, the lighter text is in cut mode.

2. Macaron box for my daughter's birthday. Each one is engraved in cut mode, with varying power and cut settings between 30 and 60. Each colour requires slightly different settings and took approximately 2 to 3 minutes per macaron for the engraving process.

3. Christmas wreath, letters engraved in greyscales mode onto birch pieces. The inset image shows the engraved wood pieces in isolation, and highlights the brown colouring by not engraving too deeply.

4. These hex boxes are personalised prizes in a dance competition. They are filled with sweets for the winners and engraved with their names.

5. Another personalised gift created for a lady with a big heart. After ordering a number of boxes for children, we gave her a little box of her own.

6. The biggest project to date. This is a 1:76 scale model of a railway platform made for my nephew. It is made up of a large number of parts cut from 1mm balsa wood and glued together to make the full model. At 80 power and 80 cut depth, the pieces popped out easily. There are lots of notches and tags to align, glue and strengthen the structure.
The station signs are personalised and the shelters have graffiti under the roof with the names of my nephew and niece. At full size, the platform would be 25 metres long.

7. A gift box for one of the dance competition judges, engraved in cut mode. These can be done is under 10 minutes in this mode.

8. A fun and personalised little gift box for a relative who loves sweets! The recipients love the idea that they are unique and they have the only one in the world.

9. The railway platform pieces all cut out and ready to construct. You can see that the wooden platform floor has also been engraved with planks. The fencing has some of the posts leaning at a slight angle to make it more natural and unique.

10. More Christmas gift boxes. A friend wanted to give all of his relatives a present from his newborn great-grandson, each with a personal message.

11. This is a working, spinning windmill, which stands on my desk. It is a company logo transformed into a fun model. It's made from 1mm balsa and cut out with the engraver.
