[LS159] The L Piece
The crew starts with pudding-pack chaos and sponsor jokes before sliding into real shop talk. Everyone admits they hoard leftover material, especially those dreaded “L” pieces of acrylic and Romark, and they compare how scraps constantly bail out last-minute jobs. That leads into practical advice about engraving coins, good sources for quality blanks, why cheap “poo-tier” zinc coins are best for alignment practice, and how fiber marking black acrylic can save time and labor. Toward the end the conversation shifts into UV laser marking on enamel, MOPA vs non-MOPA deep engraving, pulse-width physics, reflection safety, EasyCAD 3 frustrations, and why the Laser Everything community is the best place for help. There is also an update on the UV parameter library and a reminder that the MakeArmy Wiki has a detailed article on laser heat and power density.
