hi folks, Looking for some advice. What software is being used by folks to do photo-etched (that is, photo fabrication) designs? thanks, Karl in Kalifornia...
Hi Karl, I use a software package made for designing printed circuit boards. This will output a Gerber file that is used to generate the laser photoplot film...
Hi, A bit off your question, this is about the etch processing. You might want to take a look at Pulsar's offerings. They got started in printed wiring boards...
... It was a couple of years ago, perhaps ten years, that some folks from the scene here in Sweden used Corel Draw to make photoetchings. A description was...
... I have successfully used Autocad and Coreldraw but most vector-based software with a layer capability will do the job. Autocad has the advantage of being...
It's like 3 months later and I should have thanked those who replied. I did try laser cutting but have to say that cleaning the cuts (which don't persist all...
Laserjet cutting had drawbacks with low melting point materials. We found that we cannot use if for brass, aluminum and other like materials once a certain...
... Do you know which kind of laser was used? I lack any direct experience but I have been told that only a CO2 laser beam works well with polistyrene and a...
Hey, guys: I got stuck again. All of a sudden AutoCAD R14 started 'Write Protecting' everything. Anyone remember in R14 how to get out of "Read Only?" Thanks. ...
Robert, You probably saved your files to a CD which automatically will make it READ ONLY. Use Windows Explorer (Windows key plus letter E) and path to your ...
Bob: Thank you. That information saved the day,. I will now write your answer in the back of my AutoCAD R14 User's Guide. It sure is great to have a group of...
Glad to be of some help to you, Robert. Anytime! 1/24 scale engine. I’d love to see those plans when you get done with them. I’m into 1/24th scale model ...
Hi All, I am trying to find folks who might be interested in producing radio controllable versions of the simple engines in little tin pop-pop steamboats kids...
High Frank and welcome to this group. I was one of your early joiners so yes by all means post your stuff here. It may be an idea to also post an article on...
Hmmm. What’s the duration of steam producing of a pop-pop engine, Frank? I need a steam producing engine to drive two horizontal steam driven pistons with...
Frank, Sorry, I forgot to mention my scale. It’s 1/24th (1/2” to the foot) and the steamer is 41” LOA beam less rudders which are external of length and ...
Two parts here Bob. Duration is dependent on your fuel as a straight forward Pop-pop takes it's water direct from the medium not from a tank. The heat source...
Thanks, Dave, Then the pop-pop is sort of what I used to have long long ago for use in my bathtub as a kid. I doubt it would make the type of steam I’d need,...
Biob: No, Bob, the scale is 1/4th (one-quarter scale). Having been a free-lance technical writer for about 20 years, I decided, in designing and building this...
Hi Dave and Bob, Thanks Dave for permitting me to add some stuff to files. It will be mostly in jpg format that doesn't gobble up a lot of memory. Now a reply...

Robert, At the moment I’m working in three scales with things. 1:24 scale for some Garden Railroad projects, and 1:18 for some aircraft projects and I...

Hi Dave, Bob and All, I added a folder titled "Frank's Stuff" to files for jpg format sketches that are mostly about radio controllable pop-pop steam engines....

Followed the link and checked it out yet? Pretty impressive. I can stretch to $2500, I think. Software is over and above the price of a Microscribe, Faro...
The price is dropping nicely. It seems I looked at this several months ago and I recall it at $3,200. It's getting into my possible-in-the foreseeable-future...
