Please note this video contains flashing lights. Review proper safety guidelines before lasering your own fabric.
IMPORTANT SAFETY UPDATE: I strongly advise against using the glasses the laser comes with, invest in some proper eye safety from lasersafety.com/
In this tutorial find out how to make faux lace cut-outs using a diode laser!
I use the Fox Alien Reizer Laser Engraver 20w, www.foxalien.com/collections/...
It has enough power to cut/engrave most materials (including foam!) & this bundle comes with the Lightburn software.
You can find the all the Fox Alien laser engravers here! www.foxalien.com/collections/...

These designs are really impressive!!!! I love it!

@annabobisuthi6195 2 года назад

Great tutorial! I love to see more tutorials on using laser cutters or other tools for cosplay! One thing that can effect how well it cuts materials is the color, so the darker color your material the easier it usually is to engrave or cut. So the thicker fabric might work if it was in a different color or had a coating on it.

Wow, this is a fantastic and helpful video, I learnt a few things and I am even inspired the more. Thanks 👍🏽

I can think of so many uses for this, it's amazing how nicely it cuts and seals the fabric and the level of detail it can capture! there's a cosplay ive wanted to do for YEARS that has custom lace and I never could think of a good way to create it and this is beyond perfect!

Amazing content on laser cuts. Please may I know the type of laser machine this is?

@KnoviceCosplay Год назад

I got this one that includes the lightburn software! www.foxalien.com/products/foxalien-reizer-20w-laser-engraver-with-lightburn-software-bundle-kit?sca_ref=1145572.BNzX60woec

Helloooo! Thankyou for your video.... do you think this would cut latex ok?

@KnoviceCosplay 2 года назад

I don't see it on the unsafe materials wiki, but I have no idea. I've never worked with latex before, I'd probably check the laser communities on Reddit or Facebook to see what they think

@alakaolushola5556 2 года назад

Thanks very much for this video am new to using laser i got a 90w diode laser recently i will love to use on fabrics Please 🙏 what power and speed setting will you suggest for diode laser 90w. For polyester fabric And can i put wet paper towels under the fabric to reduce burning Thanks

@KnoviceCosplay 2 года назад

i use a 20watt laser so our power and speed settings would be extremely different, and it varies fabric to fabric. But you usually want to start at a lower power setting and then slowly go up, you can probably do something pretty fast with your high power, probably as fast as 100+. Putting paper towels underneath would increase burning, polyester fabric shouldn't burn at all, it should just melt. I recommend putting a marble tile or metal honeycomb underneath the material you are lasering!

Hey there I was wondering if you had any experience with white polyester twill vinyl so yes does it work it isn’t it to shiny?

@KnoviceCosplay Год назад

You cannot use a laser with vinyl, please fully look-up safety precautions. Lasering vinyl will create hydrochloric acid which can kill you i am not exaggerating. please be careful and stay safe 💓 Anything that is pure white will not work on a diode laser unfortunately, the ones I use in the video are off-white/cream

@heinkuijpers7584 Год назад

@@KnoviceCosplay thank you yes I know it a other type of vinyl it more like a fabric with the some clue on the back it fine for lasers and they call it poly-twill vinyl do you think if I mask it it would have a chance of working out?

@KnoviceCosplay Год назад

@@heinkuijpers7584 ohhh i see, if it's safe then it's worth trying, i've had luck with lasering sheer white fabric just by having something dark underneath, i've heard people have luck with masking as well! if it ends up not working perhaps there is a local makerspace where you can laser the material with CO2 laser just so you dont lose money on the material

@heinkuijpers7584 Год назад

Thank you for your input!

@pinterelectric 2 года назад

I’m just starting out with my laser, but I find it doesn’t like to cut white

@KnoviceCosplay 2 года назад

Correct, diode lasers can't cut white or clear materials!

Will this laser cut through eva foam?

@KnoviceCosplay 2 года назад

yeah it will- but with some caveats... i'm doing some tests right now & the tutorial will come after the fabric/pattern engraving tutorial!

Hey I just uploaded my video show casing foam cutting if you still want to see it in-action!

Hi does a diode laser cut white felt?

i've had good luck with off-white, but not bright/pure white unfortunately

Have you tried to cut multi layers of fabric at once?

@KnoviceCosplay 8 месяцев назад

nope! haven't had a laser-required project in a while

@andimuhnurichsan1633 Год назад

how about putting fabrics underneath cardboard?

@KnoviceCosplay Год назад

For what purpose? Would not recommend since it will take longer to cut through the layers of cardboard and also be a higher fire risk since cardboard is so flammable
