In a previous video I demonstrated how to do color marking with a fiber laser. Many people commented asking for a video on how to do this with a diode laser. In this video I show you how to start determining the colors you can get and then how you can make a color gradient with a simple trick in Lightburn!

Masking a gradient is brilliant. Thanks for the idea.

If you use a diffused light source using either drawing film or even white shower curtain on the opposite side and above the shiny surface you should be able to capture the engraving easier. Just google photographing jewellery or light tents :)

Could you cut slots in your aluminum heat sink and add a fan for air circulation?

@LetsMakeAThing 2 ай бұрын

The laser is fully enclosed and I have it hooked up to my extractor fan so it's pulling a lot of air over the aluminum block as is. I think the next step would be a water cooled block and some thermal compound between the stainless and the aluminum. Alternatively, running more passes would probably be more efficient. I was just too lazy to test running lots of passes. 🤣

Good ideas.

Maybe a stupid idea, but would a peltier-element work as a heatsink? This way you can actively cool your laserpiece.

It's possible. I don't have one to test with so I can't confirm the effectiveness.

Well I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong. With the same settings on an xTool D1 20w. There isn't anything showing on the stainless steel. Any advise, anyone ?

Firstly, are you SURE it's stainless steel? Lots of fake stuff out there.
