Doris,
Sorry for the confusion, but I started a different thread with the heading of "Etched Martini Glasses". Your original thread was "Martini Glasses".
My question about arching the text was addressed to Joe Hayes, who in your original thread recommended sandcarving the glasses.
I personally don't do any cylindrical glassware on my laser. Since I have sandcarving capablilities, I use this process to do all of my drinkware items.
I am amazed that you are able to get a martini glass at an angle that it can be engraved with a laser rotary attachment. That being the case, you should be able to manually focus your laser to avoid the slippage issue. Your artwork will need to be distorted to accomodate the severe variance in the distance of rotation between the wider diameter of the glass and the smaller. Your software may not have the features to do this. |
