My method for making custom engraved tumblers using my Xtool D1 10 watt standard and the original rotary. Settings and tips in the video. Consistent results using my interchangeable jig to hold everything square.

Man, you have been an absolute help. I've had the Xtool D1 Pro for a little over a month. Was intimidated by it before even opening the box. But after watching you, you help me overcome that fear and I have bee n able to successfully use lightburn on my cutting boards. The sky is the limit with the Xtool, and I am ready to achieve so much more with it. Thank you greatly for you vids.

My other tip. I have various sized tumblers. I have a sample for all sizes. I put painters tape on them and run a test burn at lower power. The image will burn into the tape. You get an”preview” of the burn this way. When you are happy with the result, just peel off the tape, clean the tumbler, put away til next time you need it. Obviously it works if you have a spare powder coated tumbler, but eventually you run out of art space. Warning: painters tape stinks so ventilation is a must.

You're remark about not going too slow was a turning point for me. I had been going by the library settings I had downloaded for anodized aluminum. Around 1000 mm per minute. It looked dull and dingy. Did a material test over and under that setting with no noticeable improvement. I thought it was the dark blue color. After I sped up to 4000 mm per minute is when I got the results I was looking for. Thank you

D1 owner here. I make and sell tumblers and find that Laserbox Basic is hard to beat for its simplicity when it comes to tumbler making. The ease of use makes the process so quick when time is money. I just wish it worked with the Pro. Thanks for showing your software setup! I want to dive more into Lightburn now that a second laser is in the shop. Tip for any Yeti engraving. Drop the speed down the 50mm/s for every color. 70 doesn’t fully cut through the powered coating

Thanks for the valuable info! I purchase 3 or 4 Tumblers from Temu. I have practiced on one of the Blue Tumblers and found 100% Power and 85 mm/sec does a really good job. I use Awesome cleaner and a Mr. Clean Magic Eraser or equal to clean off the residue. I also found that too slow on speed and the stainless will be permanently marked.

Roll Tide from Cullman brother. On circles, I just ad 10% to the width in light burn and the circles turn out near perfect. Example: circle is 70mmX70mm, I make the width 77mm and leave the height 70mm. The circle with logo inside will look oval shaped, but very circular when burned on the cup. No change to steps or anything else. Hope this helps.

If it works, there is some math that has to be done but The "correct" way is by changing the settings on the rotary. I agree, sometimes it is just easier to stretch it.

I test on all new materials to be sure. If they are coming out dark, speed up or power down. If you go too slow, the stainless will be a grey color. You want just enough power to remove the coating but not heat up the stainless. Around 130 mms with most 20watts. Test first

@@TheClackShack Love your videos man! What lines per inch are you using on your tumblers, I'm getting rough edges almost as if I needed to double the LPI and wondering if you have a fix to clean up the edges on the fill setting?

Rubbing alcohol will fade the powder coat. Might not be seen in some lighting but when u can see it its awful. Try la assume home depot or dollar tree best cleaner.

Never had an issue of it fading, it will dry it out but once it gets washed, they look normal.

If you see thousands, they are running mm/m, smaller number is mm/s typically. 100 mm/s = 6000 mm/m.

by the way you have a ROLLER NOT A ROTARY the rotary has a 3 jaw chuck NO SLIPEGE no movement stays where you put it doesnt wander like some tumblers do on those rollers

@TheClackShack Жыл бұрын

Well if we wanna be all particular about it, technically it is a roller style rotary. The three fingered type are chuck style rotaries. Seeing that the definition of rotary is a device that is used to rotate an object around a cylindrical axis. The word rotary is devised from the word rotation. Both devices are used to rotate the material on the 4 th axis but do so in different ways. So yes, what I have is a type of rotary. Many companies mix and match the names. I appreciate the debate though… thanks for watching
