MC Etcher and engraving photos

[Cehubbar (Chuck Hubbard)]

Does anyone have speeds and feeds for the MC Etcher? Also need to find out how to etch a photograph on acrylic and glass. I have several projects that I need a realistic image of Christ. A cartoonish line art image will not work. He was a real man is what I am trying to portray. All help would greatly be appreciated.

I wrote a bit about the M.C. Etcher at:

or something. Let’s draw an image to use an etching tool on — first source a suitable material: Then begin drawing: [image] [image]

Halftone generator on Cutrocket

This was announced/demoed in a limited way a while back — had occasion to reference it in a support ticket recently, so here’s the text from that: We have a halftone generator which will accept black and white images, so you will need to convert any image into a black and white picture. That is the only type of picture the generator will accept. Help file: Halftone Generator - Help
