This was really helpful. I've had my S1 for a few days now and just got the RA2 today (it shipped separately). I was hesitant about the tumblers, but this helps. You are correct about the S1 videos. They are limited in multiple topics. I've seen some pics in the Xtool FB group of full wraps on the big 40oz tumblers but haven't figured out how they account for the size variance from top to bottom. I appreciate you making this.

Nice jig setup for the RA2, with that being stationary, and using the chuck, you could put a mark on the right side enclosure that aligns with the guide rail once you find the center, then you can go back to that spot without measuring for the center, as long as you're using the chuck.

Thank you very much for this video! I used the setting you recommended and engraved some solid color tumblers. They turned out beautifully. However, when I engraved a rose gold coated tumbler with power100 and speed 500, some of the engraved area look brownish. I wonder if the power is too high. The rose gold coat seems to be thinner than the solid color. Do you have any suggestions? I am using S1 with 40W as well. Thank you in advance.

@monistephaniee 5 ай бұрын

Try timing the different speeds with a stop watch, I got the S1 and recently discovered that engraving at 600mm/s is actually slower than engraving at 300mm/s since the time it takes for the laser to accelerate and decelerate for a higher speed takes more time than going at a "slower" pace. Now my processing time is much faster and the machine barely moves around.

@TheClackShack 5 ай бұрын

Yes, it will also adjust the speed down if you get near the edge of the area. It is wild sometimes how things can effect the results.

@dillonohrt1903 Ай бұрын

I was going to bring this up too. I have a design that I had set to go at 500 speed and it would have taken 15 minutes flat. Changed it down to 350, decreased the power from 100% to 75% (better for laser longevity anyhow) and it knocked off 39 seconds. Doesn't sound like much until you count the fact that it was a bulk order. ⌛= 💰

This is applicable to all lasers using a similar gantry system. The engineers design in this over-run to reduce stresses on the gantry, but remember it only reduces them. High speeds still force the motors to work harder when switching directions, so it affects the unit's lifespan as well. Most people (YT creators I've watched and myself) have found they get similar or slower times when going over 200mm/sec on anything under 3-4 inches (or large jobs that have lots of directional changes), so using this slower speed doesn't really effect run time at all, and gives you better control with laser power and longer motor life.

Really? You've replied to every comment on this video? How do you ever have time to make anything? All kidding aside, That's a great way to run a youtube channel and an Etsy shop. I'm probably going to get the S1 soon. I'm sure that means I'll need a few jig files from your shop. By the way, you have a pass to not reply to this comment! Go make something for your friends or to sell instead.

I wish i would have watched this video before trying a tumbler....I watched the xTool video, set it up exactly like they recommended....WELLLLLLL the RA2 jumped on me in the middle of engraving and I'm assuming broke my distance sensor....Now my laser is down until I can get a new one. UGGGGG I'm now gonna watch all your videos before I try anything, at least once I get a new sensor. I hope that's all thats wrong with it.

The pin should just fall off if it gets hit. You have to line everything up but it is just held in place by magnets. Easy fix..

Thank you for responding, I did align and it fits in the spot easily but when it starts to lower it alarms and gives me an M363 S4 error. It happens every single time I try to set distance. *sigh*@@TheClackShack

"If you had a camera it would help"...thank you for saying that! xTool failed by not having a camera in the S1, no matter how much they try to sell the 2-point system. Hopefully they didn't hear you say that.

I have told them they dropped the ball. It is still a good machine but is visual types like a camera.

Great video like usual. But for $2000+ they can't figure out a better bottom tray...LOL! Typical rushed product from xTool...they'll probably come out with a solution and charge a lot for it.

I would like to have seen the crumb tray having slots that it drops in to lock the position.

censoring and deleting your comments will lose you subs pretty quick! especially when they are not spam

@TheClackShack 7 ай бұрын

I do not delete comments but do use a profanity filter. This is my channel and I do not allow profanity, I will not compromise my morals for subs. Maybe, before commenting on something you know nothing about, you ask. If a comment was caught by the profanity filter without cause, I could address it.
