just a tip, you can just use tumbler or anything you will try new that you have not experienced with and make a diagram with lots of squares each one with a different setting so that in one tumbler you have all the settings on it so which ever you like the best with the most detail on that setting you just use that setting for all the rest so you wont have to waste lots of tumblers for no reason....learned that from an actual laser engraver guy on his youtube page ;-)

@BuildDadBuild 2 года назад

Thanks for the tip! Cheers

@josephKEOarthur Год назад

Blue tape and low burn settings are your friend for prototyping.

@dreamkiss4u Год назад

@josephKEOarthur problem with blue tape is that you will never get a real sense of what it will really look like if you trying to burn something on a different material because other materials don't burn the same so it's best to do a sample of every power setting in the can't type of material your going to be doing it on.

@brandondixon4457 2 года назад

YA WHAT SETTING GOT TO THAT RESULT?

@icoblue 2 года назад

A much easier method of alignment (assuming you move that laser from time to time) would be to measure distances from that convenient targeting dot on your stepper motor to the center of the rotary axis and end of the tumbler and either creating a fixture in your software (if software supports fixturing) or simply aligning the base of the rotary with a square to the laser frame and moving the known distance from the targeting dot to engraving zero. The machine is capable of both measuring and setting exact distances. There is no reason to eyeball it. My two cents. :)

Hey I’m just wondering how much faster in real world time you would say that a 10 watt laser is faster then a 5 watt. For example let’s say one 2”x2” logo. What would be the times for both?

@BuildDadBuild Год назад

The 10W is about x1.5. The 20W is easily twice as fast as the 10, if not faster.

Thank you so much, love the channel, keep up the awesome work!!

I’m not sure if you will see this, but yeah I ordered a 5 watt because of a great deal and the smaller compression spot. If that’s what it’s called haha, but yeah i didn’t do a lot of research, and wondering if the 5 watt will be too slow for a business just starting. I have no clients or orders if that helps, but I would love your opinion:)

@@saltwaterforlife5601 it’ll get you where you want to go. But eventually you’ll want to get something more powerful.

Thanks for the information. I want to purchase a laser engraver, but there is so much information out there it is making that decision difficult to make. Like do I purchase a CNC that is laser capable? Or do I just purchase a laser engraver. Then there is software I like Lightburn and some of these machines don't work with it. Then there is the different wattage lasers. I want a Rotary unit, a laser unit that Lightburn works with and can be upgraded.

Hi quick question if you might have an answer I noticed on your cups you chose “cylinder working” on laser box basic but it’s not coming up on mine. Any idea why mines different? Thank you 🙏🏻

The latest update changed that setting (is my understanding). I haven't had a chance to do the update yet. Cheers
