When I was starting and no idea what half of these terms meant, that info you provided on the image and what tracing does would've been a huge help! Might be something you can put into a separate video in case someone doesn't catch that tip on this video :)

I use LA's Totally awesome cleaner and it does a great job at cleaning the tumbler after lasering. And it's like $1.50 at Dollar general for the big container. Great video BTW.
@HalfAssHomestead Жыл бұрын
Try using the cheap stuff called LA Awesome. I have had great results with it. Was suggested to me that Rapid Remover for adhesive vinyl lettering remover would work as well, but $1 v $50 is hard to justify.

Do you use any of the GIMP plugins? For photos I find its amazing. IMAGR isnt bad either. I find the biggest mistake I make is either not enabling/disabling rotary in Lightburn or mirroring is wrong/cup is the wrong direction lol.

I enjoyed watching your video. Educational and fun. Can I ask how you get your tumbler to come up as the metal after engraving? Mine come out as black. Thanks.
@BuildDadBuild 4 ай бұрын
Run a speed and power grid. You are either not burning deep enough and that is charred powder coat or you are burning too deep and scorching the metal

The first test you will want to run is called a ramp test. That tells you the best distance to focus your laser away from the item you will be burning. If it is a CO2 laser, then Kim & Garrett Make It has a great video on how to make sure that your mirrors are aligned correctly, as that is an issue with most.

A 40w diode cranks out tumblers pretty fast too. But at 40w the diode is just starting to get into production level power IMHO.

Biggest problem I keep running into is stretched images side to side. Using the Xtool D1 Pro 20W, RA2 chuck rotary, and Lightburn. The diameter is correctly set in lightburn but there's gotta be something else not set correctly. Any suggestions? Thanks for your videos!! They've been very helpful for this noobie
@BuildDadBuild Жыл бұрын
Check your settings in Lightburn. Also confirm that your tumbler isn't slipping when it rotates.
@HalfAssHomestead Жыл бұрын
Double check your measurements, and revolutions. If either is off, it will distort your round to become an oval.
@jockey0034 Жыл бұрын
Add 10% to the dimension that is ovaled. You're welcome

Are you etching over the China mark or is it you side reference?
@HalfAssHomestead Жыл бұрын
Yes, you can etch right through the grease pencil mark as it is too thin to interfere with the process. It will wash off what is left when you clean the tumbler.

In my first weeks of lasering, I've heard that "some" images need to be reversed-mirror imaged to product a legible text. What is your experience? Thanks for a bunch of good videos.. Hank
@BuildDadBuild 4 ай бұрын
No need to reverse. That usually means the rotary is in backwards! LOL
