These are awesome! I found one of your other threads with process details. Really cool.

@Bigchepin Thankyou

Good day, can you share what power machine you have and the settings used to create these awesome coins…

My settings are for a 60 watt MOPA 150 mm lens
Sorry

What are all of you charging for your coins? They take so long to make it just seems like you can’t charge for the time.

Curious about the setting, I have the same machine and interested in the setting for this.

Those are amazing!

You mention DepthR, I started with that but found I had to do too much reprocessing of the images and then I found SculptOK which seems to do a much better job for me.

ZoeDepth v3 + OpenCV for local run depthmap. sculptok and Depth-r have pretty loose wording on what rights you still have with your files you upload.

Off-the-cloud alternatives (when the design is truly proprietary)

| Service | What the published policies say | Practical takeaway
| Depth-R | The privacy policy focuses on GDPR compliance and log data; it doesn’t explicitly address IP ownership of user-supplied images. Data is hosted by DesignGecko GmbH in Austria and logs are purged after seven days (DepthR - Create Depth Maps From Images) | Legally they might still store or reuse images; the absence of wording means your IP rights aren’t contractually protected. |
| SculptOK | Section 5/6 of the ToS states they may “utilize Prompts and Output … to deliver, sustain and enhance our services” and reserve broad rights over IP inside the service (SculptOK). | Your uploads and generated reliefs can be stored, reviewed, and used to improve their AI. You keep copyright, but they keep a royalty-free licence. |

just curious to know roughly the time it takes to scan a coin with the level of detail shown here.
Is this the math?..
1800mm/s, 0.0254mm scan interval (1000DPI), 78.5% x d^2 (ratio of cir:sq area, d=dia), x 256 scans, answer in seconds

d=38mm (1.5")
38mm / 0.0254mm = SL (# of scan lines one pass)
SL x 38mm x 78.5% = SD (scan lines total distance in circle one pass)
SDmm / 1800mm/s = SS (total scan seconds one pass)
SS x 256 / 60s = minutes to scan all slices
106 minutes to etch the coin ?

Kind of depends on your galvo, some are faster than others.

Most of mine, like this one using 3dslice is around 2 hours on the machine.

40mm brass coin, using a F254mm lens. This one came off the machine like this, but some take a bit of elbow grease to make them presentable.
