href=\"http:\/\/hosted.hackaday.com\/Hackaday_Logo.svg\">skull and wrenches logo.<\/a>\u00a0 I thought I would take a little time and throw my hat into the ring.\u00a0 The pictures included in this post are of the logo engraved onto a dime.\u00a0 The engraved image is .064 inches tall.\u00a0 The judging criteria is partially based on the size of the logo.\u00a0 That is to say preference will be given to very large and very small logos.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.scorchworks.com\/Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/dime_pic03.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone

size) so I set it up to cut scan lines in one direction.\u00a0 Since the machine is always cutting in the same direction the backlash doesn&#8217;t show up in the engraving.<\/p>\n<p>The surface of the dime was not flat so I had to make a second pass to cut the right hand side of the image a little deeper (.002 inches).\u00a0 I used<a href=\"http:\/\/www.scorchworks.com\/Dmap2gcode\/dmap2gcode.html\"> Dmap2gcode<\/a> to generate the original g-code and I used <a href=\"http:\/\/www.scorchworks.com\/Gcoderipper\/gcoderipper.html\">G-Code Ripper<\/a> to split the g-code in half so I could cut only the right half of the image on the second pass.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hackaday is having a contest to see where people can put the Hackaday skull
