Custom engraved ink pens- the easy way

My method for engraving custom ink pens to sell at events. I use jigs for almost every job that I do. This jig makes a set of 10 pens a breeze.
For templates that I have made, check out my Etsy shop. I build files for projects and tools for laser engravers.

As always amazing video and work! I was wondering if you have a video or can make one about the depth of text when engraving. I’m trying to say how do you choose and know how much it’s going to engrave in depth?

Thanks for the information. I was wondering what types of pens can we engrave with a 10 watt diode laser? [wood, rubberized, etc...]

I stick with wood.

Hooked on your videos. Just got my engraver yesterday. Do you finish ( CA , polish, etc) the pens before engraving? Thanks

Quick question. I bought your jig sets for the D1 10pro and it has a bunch of the top piece that are different. How do I determine which to use? Your videos have helped me with a better basic understanding of this hobby.

@TheClackShack 10 ай бұрын

Measure the inside spacing and pick accordingly. Should be in the notes inside the folder

Thanks for your video, with that style jig would 10mm font be good with those amazon pens, what size font were able to use and still burn well? Thanks again

@TheClackShack 7 ай бұрын

It would depend on your settings. They are round, so too big will be on the side.

Great idea and jig. So, you don't use/need a rotary jig? Do you somehow get L Burn to compensate for the curve, or is it a nonissue?

@TheClackShack 11 ай бұрын

Not an issue with just a line of text

@ramaroodle 11 ай бұрын

Wait. What? You mean all these years using the aftermarket 3D printed string-driven methods was unnecessary?? 🙂 (at least for a single line of text). Damn! I'm gonna try that tonight. I have an order for a batch of 10. Even if it's 2 lines I assume you can just rotate it.

I have made some engravings on these pens, I found that they came out sticky around the engraving, needed some scrubbing with alcohol . Maybe I have my power set too high?

@TheClackShack Жыл бұрын

I did numerous power tests to get it dialed in. Bamboo in general will weep if you heat it up too much. Dish soap will clean if needed.

Maybe I missed it on your etsy shop but is the pen jig listed? Do you find the pens themselves work well for writing? I don't normally have pens to sell or give because I don't want customers getting a pen that doesn't write. Great tutorial on lasering pens.

@TheClackShack Жыл бұрын

I use them in the shop and they work ok. It’s not a cross but for a utility pen, seems to work ok. They come with refills also

Add the array dimensions to your jig. That should make it easier to line up your text.
