Can you link to the foil tape that you used to protect the logo? Not the ones you have already cut but just the tape? I have a different logo I'd like to protect and tried HVAC tape and it did not work well!
I will be sure to use your link for the laser machine. The exact machine you have, what else can you use it for? I took the quiz but got overwhelmed and hope you can kindly take a moment to answer my question :)
With the xtool s1 you can cut and engrave many materials. Since its a diode laser not all colors of acrylic can be cut. If you plan on working with more acrylic i recommend that Xtool p2.
This is very helpful, but there is one thing I’m caught up on. The bottom is smaller than the top but you used the top for your measurement. Since your design is a rectangle, how is it that the design elements on the bottom don’t end up overlapping?
Thank you so much for your help! I have a question, before starting the Red Cross on the screen is suppose to be where the laser starts right? So How do you align it to start engraving on the handle when the cross was in the middle? I’m a little confused
Hello :) I receive my S1 tomorrow and I can’t wait to give it a try. (I am the one who has the M1 and wrote you about it on Messenger). Have you tried the S1 with acrylic at all? I love how your Stanley came out it looks amazing!!
Hi! Thank you for this tutorial--it's very detailed and I appreciate that! I am wondering where to purchase the foil with sticky back? I am purchasing your cover for logo off your Etsy account, but need to find the foil with sticky back. Thank you!
Your distance measurement should be right where the curve starts? No... distance measured should be done right in the middle of the tapered area. Not at the beginning. Spreading knowledge to help others is key. I wonder how many people where disappointed when they engraved their $60 stanley and the engraving was burnt on the top from laser being 2.50mm closer then what it should of been 1.25mm away
How long did it take to generate the image? I have a file very similar to yours. I know you said to be patient but we are at 40 minutes and it is still cycling,
20w better for engraving? Yes and no. You can adjust the power on the 40w. The 40w laser beam is bigger but I personally think it's better. I've herd of people with 20w using a spacer when framing to get that bigger beam focus. The comparison on engraving is hard to tell. Don't think you wasted your money on that 40w. You can cut deeper wood, acrylic ect
We have been trying to get this process right for a while but we are having issues with the laser hitting the cup. We are using dupes but they are the same measurements. When we level the bottom the tabs hit the laser. Any suggestions?
I’ve set my distance for the highest part, the lowest part, and exactly how she stated in the video and each time the design comes out like crap on the side of the tumbler opposite to where I set the distance for.
@@ronr179 she says “measure right where the curve starts on the tumbler”. Which unfortunately I’ve done. I’ve also tried from the end of the taper as well. Both with similar crappy results unfortunately. I haven’t tried from the center of the taper like you’ve suggested. I’ll try that this evening. The only other way I could think to make this work would be to cut my design and do two separate runs with the engraving but then I would have to make sure to line the second go up perfectly which would be a headache.
