You mentioned the color of the denim is brown after you lasered it. It will be white once it’s washed. That brown it the charred cotton. It washes away and can leave some really cool looking images.

oh very cool! that's fantastic to know, thank you so much!

What settings are you using for cotton tee?

@serafinovamp4803 22 дня назад

Question, can you dye it after burning? Like they bleach black and then color it with dye ?

@jellydunne 2 года назад

I am bloody loving the layered cosplay bits! I have done a few bits on wood and havw a con coming up so my mind just started going to that. I tried a denim jacket but it kept burning, can I ask what power settings (if you remember now) you used for the tshirt and jeans? Keep up the bloody brilliant work!

@KnoviceCosplay 2 года назад

oooo i would love to see what you end up making! Jeans power 80, speed 70, line interval .15. Tshirt it looks like i didn't right that one down, probably same as jeans with a lower power setting. color/lightness of the fabric may affect these. The laser does burn natural fibers, so it's kinda tough to find the setting that makes the design visible without compromising the integrity of the fabric too much, but you got this! and thank you so much :D

@KnoviceCosplay, what is the wattage of your laser?

@Thementeblu61 Год назад

Great video, could you please put the settings ? Speed and laser intensity for denim and other clothes? Thanks

@KnoviceCosplay Год назад

I recommend experimenting to find what will work with your clothes since it will vary heavily based on the color of the fabric and possibly the weave/density of the fabric fibers as well! For this reason I don't like sharing mine since I cannot guarantee it'll work for everyone, hope u understand 🙇‍♀️

@GoCreateSomething 5 месяцев назад

You could engrave reptilian patterns for cosplays. Really, you could do any animal print. It might be possible to put tape on the fabric and then make a mask so you make a design with fabric paint. I think any animal print could be used. I suspect you might be able to remove the black color from a t-shirt with a lower power setting... I think you get the golden brown color from burning the cloth a bit. Thanks for the video!

@KnoviceCosplay 5 месяцев назад

tape is a great idea! especially since it's safe to laser through painters tape.... I should def try that lol

@dablet Год назад

could you please share the settings such as speed and power in lightburn? also, i think your laser outputs 5 watts, where as 20watt is the actual power input.

@KnoviceCosplay Год назад

no, i do not share my settings since it will vary from material to material.

@peteryk1049 2 года назад

Can you please tell me if you can make a small hole in the denim fabric?

@KnoviceCosplay Год назад

you certainly can but the denim would fray! although you could seal the hole with something like fray check

@JuanSanchez-rb4qu 2 месяца назад

Does it wash-out/fade like paint or its really permanent? that could be an advantage

@KnoviceCosplay 2 месяца назад

As far as i can tell it is permeable since it is burning/damaging the fibers permanently

@fredthegreg 8 месяцев назад

What does it look like after 3 or 4 washes? The denim probably holds up pretty good but cotton t's i think would not.

@KnoviceCosplay 8 месяцев назад

to be honest i only use this for cosplays/costumes which I hand-wash anyways, but burning the fabric certainly makes it a bit fragile! I think you are absolutely correct. the brown/weird coloration's did go away after washing.

@fredthegreg 7 месяцев назад

@KnoviceCosplay ah. Yeah I'd definitely try it out thought too, especially for like a one time or special event thing.

@juangrisales6066 2 года назад

how work on synthetic leather or fake leather..?

@KnoviceCosplay 2 года назад

You can't laser synthetic/fake leather, it is toxic. Please research all materials you plan to use before lasering it!

@babbagebrassworks4278 Год назад

The T shirt gave me an idea, what about using those UV inks, brush or spray on an area then laser the pattern to set the ink then wash off the excess, non set ink.

@KnoviceCosplay Год назад

oooooo i've never even heard of those, time to do some research!

@babbagebrassworks4278 Год назад

@@KnoviceCosplay Mimaki UV_LED Inkjet Printers etc. Not sure if those UV setting coloured craft resins would work, a bit lumpy? I used my laser on Bamboo coasters and noticed at low power it bleached the Bamboo lighter, there must have been a coating on the wood it burnt off without burning the wood? Is there UV activated bleach? Laser Mylar/polyester film to make template for painting? These cheap Lasers have lots of uses people are still playing with, ie Norton White Tile, Liquid paper has lots of TiO2, I have yet to try it.

@juanmanuelcastrillojimenez9822 Год назад

Diodo laser is good to cut fabric cotton??

@KnoviceCosplay Год назад

it would burn cotton fabric so no, you'd probably get ash on the other parts of the fabric, i'd stick to only engraving it!

@3Dprinting6625 11 месяцев назад

What are your speed and power settings for cotton

@KnoviceCosplay 11 месяцев назад

You have to experiment, it's going to vary based on your laser & your fabric. Experimenting is part of the fun!

@3Dprinting6625 11 месяцев назад

@@KnoviceCosplay I'm asking you your settings so that I can start experimenting. Everyone has to start at a base. I'm just asking what your speed and power is. If you don't want to tell me I'll understand, but at least come out and say you don't want to provide that information

@MarcRCAddict 2 года назад

Great video, but it would have been even better if you told us your laser and the laser settings you used in light burn 👍

@KnoviceCosplay 2 года назад

It varies so much depending on the exact fabric contents and color! If there's one in particular you'd like to know I can tell you what I used, but you'll definitely still want to do some tests on your fabric before doing the real thing!

@KnoviceCosplay 2 года назад

Oh! And here's the link to the exact model www.foxalien.com/products/foxalien-reizer-20w-laser-engraver-with-lightburn-software-bundle-kit they have a few different bundles to pick from though if you want to poke around their site

@MarcRCAddict 2 года назад

@@KnoviceCosplay thanks for the reply, yeah that makes total sense, what was the rough settings you used for cotton and nylon, it’s will just take out some of the practice and guess work for me 👍

@@MarcRCAddict for cotton i used power 70, speed 70, line interval .15, and 1 pass. is the nylon the purple one? that one is actually polyester but i used the same settings, but with power down to 50
