That is actually an outstanding question and I would expect no less from one who is so experienced with turning wood! Examples of items for the chuck... mugs with handles, glasses that are not perfectly vertical, Christmas Balls, rings (wedding bands) and so much more. We will definitely have future projects using the rotary attachment in more detail. Thank you for being first to watch as always. :-)

@@Poor_Mans_DIY Thanks for the explanation. Makes perfect sense now. Looking forward to seeing it in operation. Cheers, Huw

Please forgive the late response. We used the same settings for engraving metal business cards and it worked for us but each water bottle is made differently and the settings may not work for you. The best thing to do is perform many tests to get the right settings for you. Unfortunately, this means wasting a water bottle, performing tests.

I do think the chuck is the best option. I believe it is strong enough to handle it. We would lovevto hear how it works out.

@@Poor_Mans_DIY I'll report back when I try!

I most definitely still use the M1. So much so that I purchased a second one. I have other lasers that I also use regularly now because I can make larger items with them. The M1 works fantastic with precision work. I have not worked with the WeCreat so I am unable to make an educated comparison. I hope this helps.

@@Poor_Mans_DIY Thanks, your feed back helped, mush appreciated.

I was going to send you the actual file to use in Creative Space but wasn't sure if you use that or not so here is a link to the xTool Support page that explains manual focus and provides two different files you can download to use. support.xtool.com/hc/en-us/articles/5316621641879-M1-Manual-Focusing-Tutorial-in-Open-Plane-Mode. We hope this helps.

@@Poor_Mans_DIY thanks!

Thank you very much for the compliment. Also... here is the link support.xtool.com/hc/en-us/articles/5316621641879-M1-Manual-Focusing-Tutorial-in-Open-Plane-Mode

I currently dont have access to my PC for a while. I would gladly send you the link once I track it down. But... if you dont mind, others have asked the same question and I replied with the link. If not too much trouble, go through my responses to comments and you will find the link. Otherwise, let me know and I can get you the info in a few days.

Yes, sir. That is correct. If we did not convey that properly... so sorry. We do appreciate your pointing that out.

Did you figure out where to find it

I sincerely apologize for the delay. If you have not yet found the ruler, it is located at support.xtool.com/article/980

Thank you for the kind words, and for watching our video! I do not have any blank pen stock. Which pens are you wanting us to engrave as a tutorial? Although I have not engraved pens, I suspect they are far too small to make it worth using the rotary. I would probably set up a jig using legos as we have shown in our "tips" video and then use a small font that will not be effected by the curve of the pen. I have to do some further research but I believe Lightburn software can be used to fake the curve without a rotary. If this is true, it would be easier than setting up the rotary over and over for each pen. (just thinking of possibilities out loud)

To be honest, I dont think any software's estimate is perfect. other software provide an estimate but the countdown clock often goes beyond the estimate. M1 uses software called xTool Creative Space (XCS). XCS does not provide and estimated time of completion but once you begin, there is a bar that goes around a circle, to reflect how much of the work has been completed. I use this to get an idea of how long it will take. For example, if the bar is 1/4 full and it took 1 minute up to that point, I estimate it will take 3 minutes more to complete. In other words... it is just a guessing game for me but it is usually pretty effective. I have also found that if it is taking too long, I can pause the project, leave the M1 and computer on and resume later and it will continue where I left off. Only problem with this is that you leave your laser on, even though it isn't engraving. This will still make it heat and cause wear and tear. I am sorry I could not provide something more definitive. :-)

Says the guy that uses the Hulk for his picture. LOL

@@Poor_Mans_DIY Your response is nonsensical. 🤡 I'm mocking your use of "poor man" while spending large sums of money on projects; you respond with "hulk PFP, hurr durr." Meaningless retort.

I am only having fun like you. You clearly do not know about our channel. We can buy expensive tools and build a custom closet for 1/4 the price of what a professional quoted. So even poor people can invest in something to save lots of money. We could just block you and your comments but that is not who we are. We suspect you will probably give us tons of thumbs down but if that is what makes you happy by putting others down, you will do what you do. You seem quite b*** hurt because of our reply. sorry we hurt your feelings, we were just having fun as you were. have a happy new year.

@@Poor_Mans_DIY not butt hurt. Just think your channel is 🗑️ and felt like letting you know. Have a great day

Hulk Cry! Bu** hurt bad. Can dish. No can take. No can make video himself but can bravely sit behind his keyboard and call things trash when he is too scared to post his own face or make content and see what how "easy" it is. Poor Hulk became weak since Thanos. Hulk easy to get bu** hurt now. You should consider using she hulk avatar. Just letting you know.
