The next project we did was the water bottle project. I went with a classic arcade style for my water bottle where I found sprites online copied them with the pen tool and then organized them on my bottle. I learned many things during this rotation, but one of the most important was learning how to use the rotary laser because now on the future I can engrave anything that is curved.
Step by step
First I had to create a design in an illustrator file, the file size had to be much longer then before so I could stretch it onto the bottle. I also did not need to create any red lines because i was not cutting anything out. Here is a picture of the file.
Then I was ready to use the laser, however because the water bottle is not a flat image I needed to swap the regular laser for the rotary laser. Then when the rotary laser was in all I had to do was set the water bottle in, pick the right material, and then move the laser to where I wanted it to start. Here is a picture of the laser engraving my water bottle.
Finally all I needed to do was take out the water bottle and find a lid to go on top, Here is a picture of the finished bottle.
