I believe there are certain laser printers that can print on solid sheet metal as they have a flat paper path. Honestly, my best experience with etching was with a combination of rub-on transfers and a sharpie ultra fine permanent marker.

Whether you use inkjet paper or paper designed for laser/ALPS wax, the 'paper' used would need to be cut by hand. Unless there's some product and process out there that I haven't seen, the waterslide decal route isn't going to work. I will try the Water Slide transfer method, and again the PNP and Dry Photoresist methods when the pocket laminator arrives. #6 didn't survive acid, #5 did not go well. ) waiting for pocket laminator.Ħ - Paint resist, drag engrave CNC, acid etching.Īcid bath. No good result so far too many variables (exposure, developer. No good result so far with clothes iron waiting for pocket laminator arrival. Engraving too wide/bold.Įngraving too shallow no depth for paint fillingĤ - PNP blue toner transfer resist, acid etching. Hard to make plate level/flat on the Z axis. No way I can't even hand write my name on a presentable way. In order to make 2 small dials for the clock,fancy font, fine lines. My end goal is to get both my machines speaking the same language(s) and using application SW that is cross platform compatible. I just need to get rid of the required dongle SW and move on. By the way, that is not advised on machine control as often WIN will do one of its interrupts, and that may well result in making scrap.but it works fine with many SW packages. I was running the DOS machine controller in a virtual window yesterday on WIN 98.
#SHARPIE TOOL ON SHEETCAM UPGRADE#
I have a request in to the company who now owns the well outdated product support to see about getting a non dongle upgrade SW, their last version does not require a dongle but rather uses a SW key. It is a great machine, little used, that I bought new, and it was quite expensive. I have gone though 4 old model PC's in the last 10 years keeping this machine in service.

Parallel ports have not been part of PC for a long time now and the add on parallel port cards do not work with this silly dongle. The parallel port dongle requirement is the real problem on more recent machines. Click to expand.SpectraCam will run on more recent Windows machines.
