How To Make Money with Your Laser - Personalizing Flasks 

Better yet, my wife bought me the laser and said, you'll figure it out. And darned if she wasn't right. Lol

For those who don't to use thinner at all because of the fumes on the stainless steel, use alcohol it comes right off and for the fun of it, I tried with Dominican Rum, works like charm 😀. Thank you for another video!

Thanks for the shout out! Always enjoy your content and also always get a kick out of it when my stuff is useful to someone.

Thanks for helping me with my xtool the other day. You Rock

That lube can be found at auto stores, hobby shops, and some gun shops may have it. Amazon is great, but always try to buy local. Great info by the way brother, keep it up

Great video thank you. I saw another video where he lit a candle under the metal and it was coated with the black soot which worked great and easy to wipe off.

Awesome video. Love my ortur master 2 but I’m getting a 80W fiber to get into some serious metal art and deep engraving. Uncoated stainless steel hip flask is definitely on the going fast list

The sound when you test fire the Ortur laser and it engraved the line😂

Dude I have been watching your vids all day.. my Xtool D1 should be here Momday so by next Friday I should have something ready to show..we shall see if my 3rd grade edumaction pays off or not. Keep up the great work!

My Xtool D1 and first set of flasks arrived today. Setup was as quick & painless, and your walkthrough made it easy. Thanks for all the hints!

Thanks for all your videos, my D1 will be here on the Feb. 1st!

Hey...I just wanted to thank you. As i am new to laser engraving i was wanting to do tublers and everyone i found suggest a spray for stainless steal a blacken spray that cost a small fortune. Thanks to you i am now engraving tumblers. 2 videos and 3 experiments later im engraving and believe me...if you can teach me tech you can teach pigs to write a book 🤷‍♂️

What were your settings? I'm using lightburn with Atomstack A5 M50. Oh ya, I'm a rookie at this.

What process did you use to make the stainless steel flask dark as black.. you did not tell.. is this cermark ?

I found the dry moly lube at my local NAPA store. Just an fyi. Love this Channel!!!

With lightburn xtool 20 w D1 pro , speed 1800 power 50 ? thank

Dang lazers! I'm still mastering the wood CNC... ;) But I got Bourbon... :)

You have clap button cover fantastic....stl file?

YOU should get S30 pro with the automatic air assist .

Highly recommend the Enduramark Blu spray for cleaning the coated metal after engraving. Quick, easy, and shiny results. (I'm not affiliated or have any interest in the company. Just sharing what I've found that works.)

Hey ! I found that same moly lube at my local Grainger ! Keep on etching !

Just got my Xtool D1 and I am fresh out the water.

Another great video fellah!

So what are the settings for the Ortur you would recommend for the stainless steal? Great video thank you....

great ideal, good job

I urge you to never take the guard off and then point the laser at something shiny, great way to destroy your eyes. Aside from that great video.

Can I do the same engraving with my XTool M1? I am learning how to use it. I am looking to engrave flask for Xmas gifts.

Thanks for another awesome and informative video! Rock on

What was your settings for the stainless flask ?

Awesome content mate keep it up. Do you run air assist and how often do you clean the head? I’m running a 20w D1 pro, just starting out but having a great time with it

I am wondering why flat black spray paint is not used? Would be easily removable with acetone?b I've got to think that was tried at some point

So the ending the stainless was the d1 with a 10 watt laser?

Could you do a video on cutting Kaizen foam with the X1. Not much out there on this topic, but would be incredibly useful for making custom Pelican cases / tool organization. Thanks. Love the channel!

Just bought this laser engraver. Never done this kind of stuff in my life. Wish me luck lol.

Could you do a stainless with the frist machine? To see the difference in the 2 machines. I bought the frist machine and I’m curious. I really enjoy you videos.

I love my coated metal flasks from Amazon.

Don't forget to factor in the sales taxes that you paid, it is part of your overhead/costs. And your tests are business losses, so they're tax deductible.

Seeing that it takes like 20 mins for the coated one, how much do you charge for a flask? If you don’t mind.

First off, been enjoying your Chanel. 2nd, what were your final settings on power and speed? I grabbed some of the Moly Lube but my burns are not that dark when finished. Thanks for any help

Awesome videos. You should get the M1, since it is the one with the least videos. Been trying to apply some of your videos techniques to the M1 laser. How you cleaned the dry moly lube? Can you use Dry moly lube on tumblers?

What setting used? Thanks good video

Thanks, but what were the settings on the D1 for the stainless? and was it a 20w D1?

I am currently trying to build the MK II injection molding maching that buster beagle had on his channel.

First off great video. I noticed when marking my SS flask that the area marked has a little bit of warping to the steel. I tried it again with the flask filled with water and there was a lot of popping and fizzing but it came out the same and no warping. Any reason I should not do this?

what size diode did you use on the last stainless engrave and at what power and speed, that would be great info, thank you.

awesome video,,,, You just got another subscriber I have the Ortur LM2

Thank you for the video. I know this is not a latest video, but I do go back and forth to it for reference. Do you have an ideal setting for speed and pwer to start with for Atomstack A5 pRO, 10OZ STAINLESS Steel Flask.

Where do we find the grid you had there? Awesome video

Hi I am a new beginner so excuse me for the noob question, but I thought the xtool D1 runs on either lightburn or Xtool creative space software, but I like what you are using it seems simple. Can you use Laserbox as a control sowftare, or just design and then import it to Xtool creative space é lightburn? Thank you!

What machine did you use for this? Looking to invest

I have noticed on my d1 that when I position the cross and frame my image or text it shows correctly for my project but when it burns it's always off to the right never dead on like you show, why is that? Thanks again for your help.

Yo this is absolutely amazing! I just got a 10w laser, I'm trying to engrave enameled bottles for my friends. Do you have recommended settings for power and speed?

Just curious why you didn’t use the xtool to etch or engrave the stainless steel flask? I’m trying to engrave stainless steel charms about 1-2” rounds but when I process it they come out very pale and a little bluish would my settings be off?

Love the blooper lol

Does anyone know a dry moly lube alternate? I am over in Japan and sadly the stuff costs $80 for one spray can 😭

What did you use to clean the stainless with the moly lub? Thanks

what settings did you use for coated (black) and stainless flask?

Hello I have a question. I'm hoping you would have an answer to. So I will have the M1 by Xtool. Do you think this method your doing will work with the M1? Thanks Shar

Do you prefer the results with Eduramark or Dry Moly most? I see the Enduramark is more expensive but less prep work and Dry Moly is more prep but much less expensive.

So the end result looked great on the stainless. You swapped lasers. My question, can the Aufero Laser 2 do that also. I was so interested in the result but a different laser was used in the end. Thanks!

Sorry if this has been asked, but what did you clean the stainless with after engraving?

Heya. I am having trouble finding crc dry moly local. Can I use another coating for regular stainless steel?

Will the X1 do the stainless also? Curious why you used the other laser.

You're engraving time was faster than actual time. My first one estimated time was 11 minutes and real time is a couple hours. Do I have an issue? Also, yours look completely black until cleaned and mine just need a few wipes to clean it up. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Is there anyway that I can send you a picture of my engraved flask?

Can you engrave on a full liquor bottle ? Or an unopened Soda can ?

Do you have to trace the png to get the laser to cut it?

1st time getting a laser engraver i got a Latitool F50 we are also using laser GRBL been watching your videos and trying to figure ours out lol they cant be to much difference any tips on what to use like have u ever tried laserGRBL or used a latitool engraver any kind of help would be great thank you very much

Can you use these to cut foam? Or would it just melt? I have a foam cutting table, but if you could use this to cut out shapes from foam to frame items, that would be pretty neat-oh.

I’ve tried using rust-oleum white and galva zink both came out a really faded mark does dry molly make a difference?

Isn't it easier to center by cutting outline in the paper and just position the object in that outline and than remove the outline from laser layer and boom your have centerest object to every mm.

Have you ever had your stainless steel flask dent where you engraved?

You can also cut out the feet with the laser.

does the xTool D1 come with Lightburn software?

I think my laser is too weak. I tried 3 times and no luck. 5 watt diode @ 900 mm/min 80 % power X2 no luck Am I beating a dead horse?

Have you tried to laser engrave on slate coasters?

Hey man, its me again :-) I did both of the flash, the black and the stainless steel. Did you face that too, that you get bumps and dents in the stainless steel flasks?I dont know if this happens because i didnt engrave it with the clasp open, so maybe it happens from the heated air in!? i really dont know, but the black coated ones came out fan-fucking-tastic

With the D1, what were the settings you used? I keep having the dry moly remove after engraving. Thank you for your time.

Have you tried wd40 ptfe dry lube? I wonder if it works. I can't find dry moly near me and it appears to be sold out on Amazon.

I guess I'm a long way down in the comments now, But .... Does anyone in the UK have either an alternative to the Dry Moly, or a source that isn't costing £70 for a tin?.

Have you ever done any pew pew parts and would you ever do a video on it thank you

If that flask is kind of a parody than that means you can sell it without copyrights? xD Because the parody should be copyright free :P

Hmmmm. I could use a flask for wine 🍷.

sometimes when I do insulated water bottles, the laser etched part doesn't come out silver. The exact settings on one bottle may result in nice results and other times it looks like there still a tiny bit of paint left. Any advice? I'm at 100% at 2.75 in/sec at 260 lines/in on a 10 W diode.

FYI: I was going to subscribe to your channel but there are way too many Shorts. I hate those in my subscription feed. No hard feelings, just thought you might like to know that some people despise Shorts.
