True what you say, have to gauge it or have an eye for detail - that way no errors (hopefully) Been doing promotional products for 15 years but needed to shift the business as companies are not spending all that much these days on gifts. So reaching out to the private sector is where we are headed.

Do you have a recommendation for what amount of laser power I should be looking for when buying a laser engraver based on the material I’m looking to engrave (highly reflective gold plated 316l stainless steel) ?

I like your videos. I am thinking of buying a Laser called SCULPFUN S9 Laser because I can not afford such a nice laser as you have. Do you think that this 90w laser can do as good a job as yours. Can you perhaps explain the difference?

@LaserEverything 2 жыл бұрын

90w is a LOT of power, what do you want such a high power laser for? The difference between manufacturers is stark. Buying a high quality laser is important in this industry. Wiring quality, fiber optics quality are two big areas where you see a big difference between higher end machines and the cheap ones. You also get more reliable power supply units and with the super cheap lasers you often get knock off laser sources which is the box generating the laser. There's a very long list of reasons why you should spend more. Save for more time if you can and put some extra money away, then make your purchase. Not only are super cheap fibers unreliable, they can be dangerous with melted wires and fiber optics. Be careful!

@LaserEverything 2 жыл бұрын

Usually a pass of something like steel white finish (fast and medium power, medium frequency) will flatten it out a little after you reach the required depth, it's not perfect but it helps. You can also go in and straight up polish the engraving. If you go deep enough before polishing it won't remove the engraving, I'm not a jeweler though and there are probably better resources for that info out there :'D

@LaserEverything 3 ай бұрын

In ezcad, you can do this a few ways. Like we did, can outline with the border box removed in software so only name is selected, or using mark select and only selecting the name and not the border box and framing. In lightburn, there are several framing options within the frame menu which can output a general square frame, tight exterior outline, or a more detailed shape of the components of a design, also adding in you can use the cut selected graphics as a equal use case to the mark select in ezcad, functioning the same way. Hope that helps!

The setting used for gold in this video should be pretty close to what you need. Are you sure you're properly in focus?

Can you please tell me about wastage of gold dust during this process? Thanks for the good video

@LaserEverything 2 жыл бұрын

I'm not a jeweler so I don't have specifics but a lot of guys will get a basic fume extractor and ONLY use it when they're working on gold projects. Every couple months you can empty it and reclaim the gold dust for repurposing.

@scottdeaussie 2 жыл бұрын

I’m a jeweller and I’d be inclined to weigh the piece before and after engraving and see how much metal is actually removed by the process. Once you know how much (or how little) you can extrapolate knowing how much precious metal engraving you actually do per week/year and from that you can calculate the return versus the cost of specialised extraction system/filters and refining of the metals. I usually only refine my lemel (scrap metal filings) once a year and it’s worth saving but I don’t know if it’s removed from the original piece as a vapour or as small molten pieces? I’m very interested in finding out myself!

HELP : After clicking open vector file in EZcad I can't find where it was actually opened, scroll bar is to much to find. Is there any short cut to find the opened vector file on EZ cad screen ? please help

@LaserEverything 2 жыл бұрын

if you click open vector again it should open to the last folder you had open. At the top there is a drop down menu that should show you the folder tree where the file is located.

@LaserEverything 3 ай бұрын

This video was done with a 30w machine and 110 lens, but can absolutely be done with a 50w too. Machine prices have dropped a bit in recent years, and we have links in our buying guide on our website (linked in the description) if you'd like to check them out. Some are affiliate links if you'd like to support our channel and team :)

Hey Mani, thanks for watching! Unfortunately from what I've seen there is currently no good solution for recovering gold powder left over after the engraved gold is vaporized. If you find a solution be sure to let us know so we can share that info. Thanks!

Awesome video . One question . When you laser engrave into the gold are you removing gold ? Weight ? Or it does not affect the weight or gold

@LaserEverything Жыл бұрын

You're definitely ablating the material so there will be a reduction in weight, however small.

Hello can anyone tell me that.. While engraving name on 10 gm of ring how many gold loss will done ?can we recover all loss?

@emergencystop 3 жыл бұрын

The laser is vaporizing the gold so there's no way to really recover the loss but if you're doing an engraving as fast and shallow as shown in the video the weight loss is going to be negligible.

As I can see there is a cross hatch in the engraving process.. But when you show your hatch settings cross hatch or auto rotate aren't checked.. Can you please tell me the correct and complete hatch settings? Thank you in advance!

@LaserEverything 2 жыл бұрын

Rather than using a cross hatch I used the second hatch with an opposite hatch angle. Cross hatch is fine too, however you want to do it.

@ITD_RO 2 жыл бұрын

Thanks for the clarification. Your final hatch looks really good. One of my friends bought a 50W laser machine and after 3 months of playing with it we cannot get a nice looking hatch on gold. On silver looks ok but on gold far from what it should be. The only way to get a clean filled text on gold is to import the text in ezcad like a picture and engrave it like that (with the settings used for photos). It looks good and it takes even less time. Photos look ok either on gold or silver.. the problem is that as far as I know you cannot engrave photos/pictures using the rotary tool. So for inner and outer ring engraving the only solution is to use hatch. What I did and looked nice was only to engrave the text contour after applying an 0.05mm offset 3 or 4 times, so you get a thicker contour.
