With a 35W Epilog laser 40% power, 100% speed with a 600dpi vector art image (AI) works great for laser etching an iPhone. The material on the back is a nice plastic that etched white-ish. Special thanks to Dan for experimenting… :)

    Not only it will blend but it will also etch nicely under the laser.

    Too much power? Cut in half. Nice geeky present: one half for your brother, the other half for your sister…

    What scan speed and scan spacing does that machine use? I wonder how it compares with the raster scanner in a selective laser sintering machine.

Don't get me wrong, they're cheap and often get the job done, but they were made to not drive well. They were designed specifically in the early 20th century to cam out when too much force was applied. Now that we have torque-limiting drills this isn't a problem anymore, yet somehow we still use them.

We use the phrase "two by four" in common parlance, but did you know it's actually 3.5 inches wide? Don't make assumptions on size; always measure first.
