My very first engraving using a dithered based technique. :D
(The engraving was done in October 2019)


About the engraving
For my ever first engraving, I wanted to do something special. I had chosen the picture from LimreiArt since I am a big fan of his fallout Equestria pictures and because it was designed as grayscale. Because of this, I had to make only some changes during the conversion.


About technique
I learned this technique thou a tutorial by the YouTuber SarbarMultimedia. The required testings took a view hours, but there were definitely worth spend. The results were great engraving parameters for the laser I have access to.
I would highly recommend the video if you have access to a CO2 Laser with the RDWorks Software.


Some facts of the engraving
-project time: 2 hours
-dimensions: 80 x 110 mm (3,1 x 4,3 in)
-resolution: 44 dots per cm (114 dpi)
-engraving time: 9,5 min
