What is the general consensus on this? Should the grease damn be cleaned off often or should it be left as a preclean to the rubber wipe? Pics attached,
I clean the globs of grease off otherwise they fall on the workpeice, usually after running a 10 hour finishing pass on something like that last supper carving 
I just finished it a hour or so ago. here is 1st coat of shellac
Very nice. I really like cherry with this model. Did you hit the chair/table legs with a woodburner or something? I like the accent.
I did the legs with the laser, perfect example why I need a beam that can be focused at different heights, look the earth may be flat, but my 3d carves are not. Lol. As for the table legs I thought it was too much, this one is going to the special Olympics auction at the end of this month. I thought it was to dark, you think it is ok?
Bs
I like it.
Did you project the laser toolpath on top of the 3d model, or just run it flat?
I was going to make the rafters darker so I traced a toolpath and setup the laser and did a trial run on cardboard and using your PP and projecting on 3d it work fine, but when trying on the real thing and crashing… I moved to NO Z and did the legs.
Ya, there is so much trial and error when dialing in laser settings it’s scary to run that on a peice that you have 15hrs of milling on already.
