Hi Brian! I've been using my eleksmaker A3 pro to cut fabrics easily without burning them. Glad to see that someone like you who's not supposed to sew a garment, gives some inspirational use of laser cutter.
The only thing I can say to this is, please scroll down and take a look for yourself. I don't feel like I am disrespectful to anybody. In the few cases where someone asked a question about the brand and type of laser I use and how to use it, I asked whether the person had already watched the title of the video and the video itself? For the rest I have given everyone a normal answer, just like I answer you.
BRO, we are DUTCH. We don't cater to your feelies. We are straight to the point and informative. Also asking if you have even seen the video and paid attention isn't rude. It's to make sure you aren't just a troll.
Nice video.. I hve a question.. we use hot knife to cut white polyster fabric of about 1mm thick which is slightly shiny.. can i use this 5.5 wat laser to cut it with ease?
I wouldn't do it as Polyester fabric gives a nasty, unhealty fume when burned with a laser. There fumes are very toxic and also very corosive to the laser.
Is that the Ortur 2 Pro? Is it "stock" (as it comes out of the box), or have you added anything? I don't recall seeing the blue corner pieces in other pieces.
I have tried that, and it works as long as you are going very fast with the movements. I will never make a video about it, because it's pretty dangerous to melt this material. The fumes are really bad. I don't want my followers to do things that are unhealthy.
Why not make a sliding circular "shoe" that fits the bottom of the laser - same as a sewing machine - that way, it'll hold focus and still slip over the material without workholding?
Normally you don't want anything to touch the material (in this case, fabric) you are cutting. The reason is that if you cut things, they will be objects that move around on your workspace.
There is no answer to this question. Yes, there are white synthetic fabrics that can be cut. Does this mean avery white sysnthetic fabric can be cut? No. How thick is the fabric? How reflective is it? What is the melting temperature? Etc. Etc. You wioll have to test this for every specific fabric.
@@3dPrintCreator my synthetic fabric is up to 1mm and it is white but slightly shiny side and generally we cut it through 10 wat soldering iron or hot knife so plz let me know
Sorry, but I don't work at creality, nor am I a representative of them. I just make the videos about their products so I can't make any promises about what THEY do or do not replace.
I don't know. For a laser to produce heat, the light needs to be absorbed instead of reflected. In white materials, there is only a little heat absorption because of the reflection, yet for felt, you only need just a little bit of heat.
@@3dPrintCreator thanx I've asked ortur if it's possible as noone seems to know and I don't want to buy a laser if it cannot cut the felt as that's the main use I want it for thanx for your reply 👍
@@drunknspike I hope they can give you an answer to your question. For now, I have been looking in my pile of felt, but I only have darker colours and no white, so I can't check it for you. On Saturdays we have a market in town where they sell felt, and if I stumble across it, I will buy some and test it for you. I would also like to know if it is compatible.
@@tinachris9431 people said no it wouldn't and will catch fire easy but In reality cuts white felt fine just keep an eye on it for catching fire but with safety glasses on 😂
Yes, in fact it is very simple. Cutting with light happens because light is transferred into heat, because the light is absorbed in the material. The more reflective a material is, less light will be transferred into heat, because a lot of light is reflected.
Thanks for this video on fabrics am very new to diode laser. And i want to try fabric cutting design with my new diode 90w laser. My question Can i place wet paper towel under the fabric to reduce risk of fire ? And please what speed and power will you suggest for me on 90w diode laser Thanks very much
At first, how much watt is your laser really, I mean optically. Then, I would not place a wat paper towel under the laser as the laser does dry the material in no time. I would rather make the fabric wet, as this won't do much with the cutting time at all.
@@alakaolushola5556 I doubt if that's the optical output power. As far as I know, the strongest diode laser at this moment can produce 70Watt of optical output power.,
I was looking at your contribution to the world about cutting fabrics, and I am so sorry my test was not even 1% as good as all your videos about this topic. I am deeply sorry for the inconvenience, and I will send all my viewers to your great RU-vid channel about this topic.
