When it comes to engraving stainless steel mugs on a CO2 laser, there's one major difference from anodized mugs. Stainless steel material needs a special marking spray to bond to stainless steel for the engraving. Without this spray, the engraving would not be possible on a CO2 laser. If you have any questions, feel free to comment them below.

@MakerExperiment 11 месяцев назад

You’d need the spray but I don’t know if it’ll work. It’s worth asking the company if it’ll work with a diode.

@Batendor 3 года назад

Hey Trevor, thanks for the video. Quick Question about the center-center approach. Does it matter where you place the graphic on the canvas (from top of tumbler or below .etc) if you are going to use the center-center setting? I mean if you just made a canvas (or artboard) with the exact size of the graphic itself but not the tumbler. and run a center-center engrave on exactly where the red-dot pointer is. won't that have the same positioning effect?

@MakerExperiment 3 года назад

Yup. When I do that in videos it tends to throw people off. You just need to make sure the tumbler rotates the proper amount. I haven’t tested it with a rotary so I’m not sure if you have to at least have the right art board height or not. It would be a good test.

@iaincampbell3119 3 года назад

You'll need to make sure the height of your artboard is the size of the circumference because that tells the rotary tool how fast to turn the motor.

@MakerExperiment 3 года назад

@@iaincampbell3119 correct. I believe I mention that either in this video or my other mug video.

@scotmckittrick7059 Год назад

What does it do to the stainless if you did not use the marking spray? I take it the stainless really isn't engraved, the laser just cures the marking spray onto the mug.

@MakerExperiment Год назад

Nothing happens with a CO2 laser if you done have the spray. The spray reacts with the laser to create a cured layer on top of the stainless.

I’m not familiar with diode lasers. I’m not sure what it would be that’s causing it. Typically you want slow speeds and high power when using marking sprays and similar items like it. It could just be a settings thing.

Hi, I want to do this. How does teh laser engraving change from SIlver v Black. Also from colour powdered finish v stainless steel? I am using the ATOM

@MakerExperiment 2 года назад

The spray I use is for uncoated metals like this stainless mug. It has a chemical reaction and adheres to the mug chemically creating a black layer. For powder coated mugs it engraved through the powder coat layer. The powder coat is easier to work with but settings may have to change based on color of the powder coating.

When I turn my machine on, it wants to "home" the head and there are two switches that tell my machine the head is "home" and it then finishes reseting. If I plug in the rotary before turning on my machine, the unit just spins the rotary endlessly, waiting for the head to hit a switch that it never will. How do you compensate for this?

@Dnasty1 Год назад

Hey nice vid. I was ordering a muffler and they were going to laser engrave it for me with my logo. I was wanting a more bronze look instead of very black like what is on your mug. Is this dependent on the source material I provide or the machine and the way they do it? Was wondering if I need to provide them a brown color logo vs my standard black one or does it matter?

@MakerExperiment Год назад

It’s mostly dependent on the type of machine. To get coloration on metal they will most likely have to use a fiber laser. This is a bonding spray that reacts with CO2 lasers which is different.

@Dnasty1 Год назад

@@MakerExperiment oh ok. I’m assuming they are going to use the cheapest method. I see a brownish/bronze color on most exhaust part engraving. Is this the natural engraving color?

Why do you say it is "Permanent" when it is not! It you had used a Fiber Laser, it would be smooth and PERMANENT, plus you would not have to go thru all the prep (spray, clean, etc.) to make the engraving adhere, the fiber laser does all that for you. There is a layer (the spray) between the actual engrave and the stainless steel tumbler.

@MakerExperiment 2 года назад

It is supposed to be permanent if done correctly. In order to use a fiber laser I’d have to own one. I don’t know about you but I don’t have access to one and many others don’t either. The spray is a good alternative for those that only have a CO2 laser.

@jhnmrkb 2 года назад

@@MakerExperiment as someone who owns a fiber & CO2 laser dual source laser....I know from experience that a fiber engraver is superior to using a spray to "engrave" on stainless steel. The fiber laser extracts the carbon from the steel to make the true black & smooth engrave that is permanent! Anyone who is using the spray to make a black "engrave" claiming it is permanent is lying, because it is not permanent, there is a layer of that spray between the stainless steel and the engraving. That's why there is a build up on the engraved area.

@MakerExperiment 2 года назад

@@jhnmrkb I agree that a fiber laser is superior in this usage. Not everyone has one. Because it is a coating at some point it will most likely deteriorate, so you’re correct that “permanent” may not be the right word. Most people will have that engraving for the life of the object if they hand wash it. People who machine wash it may not. At the end of the day a fiber laser is a better option, but not always affordable for everyone.
