Review on πŸ“‡ 50 PACK Aluminum Business Card Blanks by Malayan - Options for Laser Engraver and CNC Engraving, Color Choices Available (black) by Amber Perez

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Worked on my Glowforge with some difficulty. Be careful, they are thin.

I bought the black coated cards after reading the reviews. I knew they would be skinny and they are. Thick: Here's what to expect. They are 8,000 inches thick. This means that like everyone else, they are thin and much more flexible than a credit card. This is exactly what happens with such a thin metal. It's basically a feeler gauge for that size. Place paper underneath and set the focal length to 0.010 inch. Laser settings: With the Glowforge Pro you have 45 watts to experiment with. You will need it. I've tried settings that usually work on anodized cards. 75% and speed 1000. No. It turns out like a burnt marshmallow. You need to set it to 45 watts and a speed of no more than 800 for text and 1000 for images. If available, set the text resolution to 340 lines and images to at least 340 or 450. When you're done, you need to wipe the map with alcohol. This removes some dirt from the aluminum and makes the text really clear. With these settings and a thorough post-etch napkin; You should be fine with these cards. (If you don't mind that they are as hard as a playing card. You should be fine with these cards.
