I have spent 3 hours trying to to find an information video on how to make this but all the videos were out of context and i thought to myself if i would find a video on ur page about this topic now am gladly going to to watch this and i know i will get it right
Great video! Glad that you understand the reflectivity of silver. Most reflective substance on the earth. Eye shielding is a HUGE must when working on this stuff.
Hi bro, Possible to tell me ,gold and silver and brass what power and speed and frequency should keep for very good results 👍 for 50w laser machine ..if u have any idea please share with me its helpful to me..thanks
Hi Alex bro..whazup I want to know 50w laser machine How much speed and power and frequency should I keep for Good results ..matels p(gold 18k ,21k, and silver , and brass).. It's helpful for me thanks
I don't like seeing the shiny silver behind the black details. I think giving it a white "canvas" to draw on ends up giving a better result personally, but your way could work too!
One can use "select subject" PS latest versions are quite smart now. Even if we use the black base, we can use a light pen with higher speed to get the same result.
I loved the video. I am considering getting a laser engraver and trying to decide what to get. Do you mind telling me which laser you are using? I am a glass and jewel artist and love the idea of engraving silver. Thanks!
Hello Alex, first thanks for sharing such good knowledge with us. I have been doing photo engraving in silver and gold (18k). In most cases I need to unmark "pixe power adjustment" for the silhouette, because if it is on, the engraving is very very light. And when I get to the final step (Photo finish) I need to fix the dpi (600x600) on Ezcad to make it work (without it, the engraving is also very light). I have tryed with many high resolution images (JPG and BMP) but I always need to set the dpi to get a aceptable result. Any toughts why I can´t do it in the way you taught in the video? 50W Raycus Fiber Laser - Ezcad2 - Brazil
Same thing is happening to me cant seem to get these steps to work without taking grey off and pixel power on the silhouette. What solution did you come up with ?
@thebigone3868 I think you need to import his settings in ezcad. I think he fine tuned the pixel power settings, he mentioned he did in the video and he said he could do better if he played with it. So that list of power ratings , I think he increased those values on his list.
The higher frequency range basically opens up some new marking options for you. With higher frequencies it's easier to mark plastics and anneal metals. Without getting to complex in the youtube comments that's more or less what it's good for. Hope that helps :) Feel free to join the discord for more info - there's a link in the description.
hello my friend have a good day I want you to write down all the settings for all the stages that you made, including the advanced settings, the base stage, the cleaning stage, and the image printing stage... Thank you very much
It depends on the laser source your machine has. Usually setting the frequency outside of the designated range will just result in the laser using it's closest possible option so if you have a laser that does 50 - 100khz and you try to use 25khz it will use 50. This is a little more advanced though so I'd check out the facebook group or discord server linked in the description and let us know what source you have in your machine and we can take a look.
Magnifico video, muchas gracias, los dos primeros pasos perfectos, ahora me falta el paso del grabado final, my fibra es raycus 50w 110x110, pero no consigo unos ultimos parametros para que quede bonito
Yo tengo la misma maquina de 50w y una de 20w pero creo que hay que modificar los parametros ya que la maquina del amigo es solo de 30w Las pruebas me quedan regular aun falta ajustar los parametros a la potencia de nuestras maquinas
Hello. a query when I do the photoengraving with my fiber laser I put my finger on it and it is damaged as if it is losing detail. How do you make sure that doesn't happen? Excellent your video
That value is going to be very different based on your individual lens. We used a 110 lens for this, but even the next 50 lenses off the assembly line behind ours would have a different focal height.
Love your work. Do you have Lightburn presets for Galvo? My Ezcad software is corrupted and I can't get it to work have had a terrible time trying to download a clean copy., Had a bit of support from Lightburn to get my frame and focus dots working again and it works good. I'm interested in joining your Patreon if you have those settings for Lightburn. I'm a manufacturing jeweller and would like to get the machine up and running again. I also have a diode laser which I am having fun with. cheers
if you can help me i have a problem , i try numerous times on difrent metals and once on silver and its working but now i have a job to do and the first 2 steps work but when i put the details its not working laser moving around butt not sparks and sound just the movent and its makes litle to no marks on silver is feel like its not puting enought power its make no sounds, its very anoing because i manage to makeit work once on silver with the same setings and now nothing
This video is pretty old and while the dark silver settings are good I'd recommend checking out our new photo engraving guide which will probably answer a ton of your questions, check it out here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-EB40S6AEVwE.html
Hi! I've learned a lot from this video, so thank you! I was wondering about the depth of the engraving and working with the plate after it's engraved. Is there a way to set up the engraving so the image is more dimensional and could survive being soldered, blackened, buffed, shined, etc? I've been messing with the power settings and for some images I'm able to get a bit of a relief or cameo effect, but it's not consistent at all from photo to photo. Do you have any tips?
I have experimented with this just a little but it's never ended particularly well for me. I usually try to make laser marking raster images the absolute last thing that needs to be done when it's required. Still, I can see why you would want to figure this out. First thing I would do is make sure you're checking out the updated photo engraving guide, it's much more comprehensive and may aid you in your testing: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-EB40S6AEVwE.html
Every laser is different, drop your question with some details about your machine and the results you're getting in the facebook group or discord server so we can take a closer look.
Yes! Just waiting for someone to donate some gold to the channel so I can publish a video on it 😂 thanks so much for watching, I'm glad that you got value out of it!
Hi Alex I don’t have (select param library ) on my laser software, It’s just mention parameters from the parameter, and it’s on default, there is no option? Any idea what or how should I fix? Thanks
hello sir,love your content. it will be very helpful to me when i get a laser.which is why i am reaching out to you.i have questions about buying overseas.like cloudray,do i pay customs as well and if i sent you a link to a akeme laser could i get your opinion?thanks
Yeah you have to pay customs. Fee depends on your country but usually 20% - 30% of the final price of the laser. If you'd like feedback on buying options you can post them on the Discord (link in the description) OR you can check out my official recommendations at www.lasereverything.net/lasers
Hi Alex. I followed these steps and used your settings that I got through your patreon. But the image just seems to rub off and leave a dark mark where it was, all the detail rubs away. Any ideas? Thanks.
The parameter library is not included with ezcad but we do have a copy of our library available over at masters.lasereverything.net/ for supporters of the channel :)
When the pixels you're marking are darker than the background material you engrave your photo standard, when the pixels you're marking are lighter than the background material you invert. We cover this in more detail here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-EB40S6AEVwE.html
hi my 50w raycus is not writing pictures. I set the image but it doesn't print anything. If the speed is below 75, it writes a little, what could be the problem?
Hi how are you? You help me with a query, where you can download the parameters to upload them to the library as the one you occupy in base, blank and final, will you help me? Thanks!!!!
@@LaserEverything Hello friend, in my ezcad program the parameters that you show at (minute 11:09) are not loaded, do you have those parameters to load them into ezcad? thanks friend
Hey Mehdi, open your Ezcad folder where your ezcad files are stored and open the "PARAM" folder. Copy all of the files out of that folder and store them in a safe place so you can put them back in later. Also make sure you work your way through all of your F3 Param settings and save screenshots of everything in case you need to reconfigure your system after the reinstallation.
@@LaserEverything thank you for your kind reply, am a start up engraving business in Bahrain kindly post more videos about engraving images on black metal surface
Not sure what exactly you need help with but if you want to join the discord (there's a link in the description) someone there will likely be able to help you out and get you going in the right direction :)
The 300mm lens is typically way too large to mark on silver with 50w. I highly recommend looking into some smaller lenses that will provide a smaller dot size and more focused power like a 110 or 150mm lens.
The settings are shown in the video (we dont hide them, always about education around here), so you can copy them in manually to your library, or if you head to the Laser Everything website, there is a link to our shared library right on the homepage. All made free, possible by the community support over at the Laser Master Academy, check that out too if you get value from the community resources :)
Hi , great job out there , you save me too with disable gray point , but i do have a problem, at the finish photo i need to check invert otherwise it does engrave inverted if i do not check , what did i miss ? Thank you in advance
It doesn't engrave at all if you don't check invert? Weird. I'd make a post on our discord about that, that seems a little more complicated than I will be able to help with in RU-vid comments. It's free, there's a link in the description.
You can probably use this method with *some* success on stainless but really there are better methods which we'll cover in a video in the near future :D
Great video! What type of lens do you use in this video and what power fiber? I’m trying the same settings and I can’t get the whites and blacks as light and dark as yours are.
It's a 30 watt jpt with a 110 mm lens, first link in the description under the buying guide. If you're still struggling with getting the mark feel free to join the Discord there's a link to that in the description as well if you send some photos of what you're getting we might be able to help you dial that in!
Good vedio. Just new seeing if this same doing tiles. As seeing people doing photo on tile eg norton whight tile. Can u able do vedo fiber on whight tile
@@LaserEverything I see, lots of work involved to make them. Would they work for any laser machine, I have a 30 watts but I don’t remember the laser source this machine has.
Most of them should work fairly well for you. Do you know what lens you have? It makes a big difference. If you only have one lens it's usually good to get a few different sizes, I have a video on that you can watch it's on the main page of the channel. But with some decent size lenses like a 70 a 110 or a 150 the vast majority of the settings should work for you regardless of your source.
The parameters are available for free through our videos, but if you prefer the whole library organized or want to help support the channel and content, they are available as a convenience through the LMA (Link in the description).
I tried engraving on silver, and when engraving the threshold edited photo, half of photo engraves in black and half in white🤔 Is there any solution for that? I used the same parameters and even the same laser tc settings
Yes you are missing the Disable Mark Low Gray Point setting from the earlier section of the video. Go back and make sure you have that option turned on and set to 1 and try it again. For more comprehensive support please join the Discord so you can send photos.
RU-vid comments are not a good place to diagnose issues with the laser. I'm happy to help you further but it has to be somewhere you can send me photos of what things look like I can't help without being able to see.
@@LaserEverything awesome thanks for the reply! So I should engrave a silhouette to remove the shine and get a surface to engrave the final image on, correct?
Yeah for brass I would stick with the light background dark pixels. If you haven't seen it. Make sure you watch our ultimate engraving guide for photos because the actual photo engraving method used in this video is deprecated.
