2015 Sponsor Panel: Bit Buckets 4183

Our longest laser job ever at 97 minutes.

To make this, we covered a plywood sheet in masking tape, engraved logos on the laser cutter, spray painted it black, and removed the mask.

More robot information to come shortly...

That is way cool. I assume it holds up really well?

This might be one of the best looking wood robots I've ever seen.

Re: 2015 Sponsor Panel: Bit Buckets 4183

Good use of a mask. That looks great!

A useful product for this is a vinyl sheet of masking material like these: Cutter Pros. You can vector cut the logos and then weed the parts out you don't want. That would save a little time on engraving.

Another cool way to do that is to engrave the wood and then paint the whole thing. Then run the whole panel through a surface sander or use a palm sander to remove the paint from the non engraved areas. Where you engraved will be recessed so the paint will remain in those areas.
