I’m so glad you said this. Diode lasers are relevant to this industry and for people who can’t afford a large format co2(meaning a large bed). I just bought the Monport 40watt and I’m excited about it. It’s cheap enough for me to learn on and if I ever start making any money I’ll upgrade. I’m an XTool guy with diodes. I have 10watt non pro that I home and run absolute coordinates no problem at all. I just got the Saturday before Prime days the 5watt pro for 279 and the 20watt pro module for 549. Cheaper than xTool had the 20watt pro machine on their site and I had already gotten the extension set. Still got to set that up

If I wanted, I could have loaded up a couple of machines. I felt like the flow worked fine with just the one. Thanks

Will you share where you sourced your pens? Thanks for the video. I'm on the fence between buying a Longer B1 3Ow or a LaserMatic30 when they come out (includes the enclosure, air assist, etc.).

Those are both good choices

Hello I am so so new to the laser life your videos are inspirational...my question....can this work with oonger 10W and are they on your shop....?

@TheClackShack 11 ай бұрын

If you are referencing the jig kit, It should fit any B1 frame. This is the B1 kit. www.etsy.com/listing/1512030126/longer-b1-interchangeable-jig-kit-file

How do you get it to engrave white? I have a Xtool D1

@TheClackShack 11 ай бұрын

The correct settings. I did testing to determine the look at different powers

@allanbourner4569 11 ай бұрын

Hi, the pen barrels look very shiny, are they acrylic or something similar? Thanks

@TheClackShack 11 ай бұрын

Coated metal. Not sure what coating or metal. They were in wholesale boxes

I just got the Elegoo 20w diode machine. Added limit switches and lightburn. You think my 20w would be able to handle pens like this? also, have you tried the soft-touch coated pens?

@TheClackShack 6 ай бұрын

It should if they are the correct material. A 20 watt is a good machine for engraving.

Nice setup, 👍 can i ask how long did each badge of 16 pens iff i counted right take you?

About 5 minutes including handling

@Ryan82288 11 ай бұрын

I’ve been trying pens on my diode and they keep vibrating when I engage them. I have no idea why I have a jig for them

@TheClackShack 11 ай бұрын

Vibrating? You may have issues with you setup

I'm glad I found your site!! I'm needing to engrave multiple of the bamboo pens from Amazon and was trying to figure out a set up as I am new to lasers... do I use 3m basswood for this? Thank you!!

@TheClackShack 8 ай бұрын

You can use 3 mm but for a locking jig, I recommend 4mm for rigidity

@maryesasser5054 8 ай бұрын

@ainttakenanyshit 4 ай бұрын

I space the jig slots to allow a 12mm round magnet, (or your magnet's size), to be placed on one or all of the thin wood strips between the pencils. Make sure the magnets "thickness" have clearance from the laser head bottom.... AND, set your burn height to the TOP of the pens or pencils you use, NOT the jig surface.... Give some space between the pencils to keep everything flat to the honeycomb base.... Works GOOD....

Sorry, I just figured out that I need to click "see more" in the description to see what you used. Thanks! You are very inspiring! Might take the laser plunge on Black Friday. Just have to figure out which one to add to my promotional business.
