Make A Statement With Laser Cut Copper Jewelry | xTool D1 Pro 

Yes. It was super brave of me! twitter.com/kludge1977/status/1645908681018720256

Man, and I thought it was gonna be the lathe! 😆

​@@peterbrownwastaken such a brave act! That bear might have done worse than the socks did!!😂

@@peterbrownwastaken Peter sounds like a good dad. I still respect you!

Professional and amateur laser guy here: so another possibility for misalignment is skipping a tooth on the timing belts for the laser axes. If it catches as you were thinking, the piece may not slide, but instead it jumps a tooth and gets off by a step on the stepper motor, so features get shifted. This can also happen if there is too much slack in the belts or sometimes with too much jerk or acceleration in the settings, or if you get gunk in the teeth of the timing belt or pulley.

Yes!! “Got to thinking, maybe I’m the Dragonborn and I just don’t know it yet.”

I just bought skyrim AE so I found this extra funny

@@peterbrownwastaken if you have the aptitude you should join the mages college in winterhold

I used to be an adventurer till i took a fus ro dah to the nutz

​@@skeleton_craftGaming AE? They've released another one?

Not just projects, building Lego and most anything. I had a triple sprain about this time two years ago. Still constant problems with muscle spasms in wrist that causes it too lock up and fingers too partially close and lock, whole arm will lock well into shoulder and part of back. Or complete opposite and even worse, whole left arm will go completely limp. Have full feeling but muscles will not respond. That was from heavy vibration using a palm nailer for assembly operation at my work. Now have too avoid heavy vibration or makes it worse.

That makes sense! Thank you!

@@peterbrownwastaken I have the Same machine looks like you are losing steps on the X directions between to outside and inside cuts, you can add more tension to the x axes there is a tensioner on the left hand side on the x Carriage.

Are you saying Peter has a,screw loose

@@Dman0001 This is one of those times where Yes and No are simultaneously correct

I have intrusive thoughts when I try to sleep, so Peter’s vids help me conk out, too. In case you haven’t heard of him, Olivier Gomis’ woodturning vids are also suuuuuper relaxing. Good luck with the insomnia. I know how much it sucks.

I have also fallen asleep watching him... which I am told is less creepy than watching him fall asleep.

His voice is just sooo soothing!😅 I've been watching him for years and I swear his voice always lulls me to sleep.😅 I loves when Peter sings randomly too! He's a great singer.

Same thing for me! I always watch his vids when I’m trying to sleep and especially when i have something the next day that makes me anxious. Very soothing :)

His videos help me sleep too

Definitely definitely do this! Also from my experience with water jets always be ready to hit stop to fish out cutouts lol

Good to know. Thanks!

I was thinking the same, something for the parts too fall.

It's going to happen!

@@peterbrownwastaken YAY!!!

It is a truly creative approach. Electroplating metallic paint so we can electroplate wood, kinda.

😊 thank you. It’s definitely an improvement on the fumes!

​@@peterbrownwastakenspeaking of fumes, when doing any kind of plating, including the "fart" solution, make sure too mention have plenty of ventilation. I worked chrome plate and made sure plenty of ventilation. Also if notice any itching or rash, stop using immediately! I developed a very bad allergy while doing chrome plate called Nickosis. It's along the same lines as poison ivy of which I am very allergic too. Mine got too the point one arm locked up having that severe of a reaction. Now if in the air nearbye, have very bad reactions, of which nothing will work. Also black locust is no fun. I cut down a small one and then ran through a chipper. Itched like hell for a few months after that no matter what. If used for anything, make sure very dried out!

Good to know. Thank you

also seconding the call for masking tape! ;)

I did chrome plate for a couple years. Plastic and brass parts. A few parts were copper only and different nickel. It is crazy how can get metal too stick too plastic! Left after laid off twice and also developed allergy too one of the nickel plate chemicals. Bad enough if in the air I have too get away or else break out badly.

@@KC8EWU I've never thought about plastics in metal coating. But I do know that nickel allergy is very common. Which is why the jewelries in the Netherlands are labeled if they contain nickel. Makes me want to know how nickel is made up in atoms.

@@C.B.32 it's a longer process. First the parts must be very clean, where I worked it was a very strong alkaline solution. Then two stages of a very strong chemical (acid) etch. Followed by conditioners and other chemicals that the very first layer, palidium would stick. After that short dip in copper sulfate, very soft layer with a pinkish tone. Then a first coat of hard copper, short soak, about 4 cycles of machine. Then long second coat in copper, followed by a activator, which basically helps the next metal, nickel stick. Depending on the customer needs, first layer can be only two cycles, or go through a second loop (plating machines were set up as long loops) that was a extension of first nickel tank too keep process working. Then second nickel layer, then third tank. Unless Pearl Bright finish, depending on finish pull rack at end of first two nickel tanks. At where I worked, three tanks held two racks each. Rotated as each filled up, 6 cycles each. Then activator, long and hold (4 cycles in clean water tank) and chromed. Some parts also went originally into a aerated tank for dull (very soft) nickel for the brushed finish, hot water rinse and dried. Dull nickel bypasses chrome tank and went directly into rinse for buffing (brushed finish) and some parts went too what was known as a chrome flash line. That one was a chrome only machine and had different tanks for customer requirements.

It just deals the object and gives a better surface for the conductive paint.
