The good part is that it can be used with any laser if you decide to go with something else.

I was thinking the same thing myself haha

@@djfunkycraig well I finally got the xtool and my cnc so I'm good

Thank you very much! Completely not necessary but always appreciated.

Yes. That is what I did in the video. I had also seen someone who designed a extender to lift the chuck up higher on the platform so that wasn't needed.

Thank you!

Thanks for watching!

Thank you. Not sure why you couldn't comment on the other video but welcome!

Thank you very much!

Very cool!

Thank you very much. I appreciate it!

You bet

@@BusterBeagle3D can you make the grid a png or something that we can open in lightburn or XCS?

@@brettessick3953 The grid files that I sell on Etsy come with both Lightburn and XCS files in the folder. You should have versions for both when you get it.

You are so welcome!

Thank you! Appreciate it.

Might have just been a weird camera angle. It should have been level.

All of the gird are available on Etsy with both xTool Creative Space and Lightburn versions of the files. www.etsy.com/shop/BusterBeagle3D

Maybe one day. Don't currently have plans for to get the M1 but you never know!

If you ordered the feet from me on Etsy I would have sent a link in the messages on that site. If you didn't get it then reach out there and I can re-send the link.

Even if it’s not tapered to make a circle appear correct you need to calculate what is called the arc length. That’s is why circles look like ovals on tumblers and glasses.

Yes, please make a video explaining this! And also how to make squares or rectangles look vertically correct on tapered tumblers.

If you are talking about the old one on Thingiverse that one only opens in the old software called Laserbox Basic. If you are talking about the newer ones off of Etsy those should open in Creative Space and Lightburn. For XCS make sure you are using the .xcs file. Also make sure you unzip the folder before trying to open the file.

Hello. Unfortunately no. Two reasons. First there are no holes on the rotary to mount it and two there would need to be an extension of the stepper motor gear that sticks out of the back for the belt to drive the chuck.

As long as it hooks up with a 4 or 5 pin stepper motor wire it should be compatible.

If you can figure out how to control a Nema 17 stepper motor from a computer I suppose it’s possible. Usually it needs some sort of controller but I’m sure someone had figured it out.

It's mainly just a stepper motor so as long as it comes with a wire setup that is compatible with the Comgrow machine it should work. If I remember correctly it did come with a few different hookups so it's quite possible or you could buy the connection you need aftermarket if it doesn't.

Hello Andrea. Yes I like to remove it if the machine is not being used for cutting. I do more engraving then cutting so it's probably better to have it off if you are not going to be cutting very often.

I don't know for sure but I'm guessing if it does you would have to get the version that works with the CO2 machine and not the D1. The only difference is the plug that comes with it is an aviation plug that seems to be the same as the rotary that OMT sells.

Be sure you are only downloading one file at a time. The download all button on Thingiverse seems to not work with .lqx files.

@@BusterBeagle3D Thanks!

I don’t use Lightburn but it’s not really a Lightburn or laserbox basic setting anyway. You have to calculate for something called the arc length. I will go over it more when I’m able to make the video.

Yes. All of the XTool grids have creative space versions.

I haven't really had many issues but perhaps a rubber band around the glass may help.

You can find that video here: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ibxjjcmi087dkZs.html

@@BusterBeagle3D I found it.. watching it now.. the taper then 10%. thanks for making it easy to figure out.

Hello. You can find the grid files here: busterbeagle3d.etsy.com/listing/1277584267

I just use the honeycomb while cutting. I use the grid to help line it up so that the honeycomb is square but I don't really use absolute coordinates while cutting as there really is no way to display the grid on the honeycomb.

It's just Dollar Tree black tempura paint slightly watered down and sprayed through an $11 airbrush from harbor freight. Works really well. www.harborfreight.com/quick-change-airbrush-kit-93506.html

Hi. I use the same method you would use on a white tile. It’s called the Norton White Tile method and it includes coating the surface with a spray paint that has titanium dioxide (Rustoleum 2X Ultra Cover Ivory Silk) and engraving in the surface. Then wipe it away the excess spray paint with acetone. If you search Norton White Tile method on KZfaq you will find lots of videos on it.

This is where you can find the original feet. www.thingiverse.com/thing:5098673. If you are looking for the updated grid that works with Lightburn and XTool creative space you can find that here. www.etsy.com/listing/1277584267

You have to download the files one at a time. The download all button will not work.

It can only be imported in Laserbox basic and and used with the original D1. The D1 Pro version is something I'm working on uploading as we speak. If you are trying to use it with the older D1 you can watch the video here. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/aOCffsp5ldWdeqc.html

I’m not familiar with that machine. It would need to be able to be hooked up with a stepper driver 4 or 5 pin connection.

Hello. The older grid file was created in XTool Laserbox basic. It’s the older version of the software for the machine. It’s the one software that can open that file. I do have newer / better files that work in creative space that you can find here. www.etsy.com/listing/1277584267/xtool-d1-pro-gridfeetlightburnxtool?click_key=000136860db7e4fa2984dba303a40e228319348d%3A1277584267&click_sum=5547a158&ref=shop_home_recs_2&crt=1&sts=1

I have a whole other video on that here: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/eNClpaWfmburips.html

To do something like an Alexa you would need to RA2 chuck. It unfortunately can not be added onto the the old rollers but must be bought as part of the set for the new RA2 Pro rollers.

Currently .lqx files can only be imported into Laserbox basic.

Unfortunately no. The grid was made using Laserbox basic so it's only usable in Laserbox Basic.

I had spray painted the mug with Rustoleum 2X painters touch Ivory Silk and then removed it acetone after the burn. You are seeing it in the video after it was already done just to show the motion.

No need to. You can flip the attachments head around to face away from the flat platform and put it on a little riser block. Then it can go all the way around with the handle.

You can rotate the rotary 180 degrees physically. This will eliminate the need to mirror the image.

I had made these grids in the xTool software Laserbox basic. You can find a link to them in the description if you wanted them.

Hello. The stepped jaws are part of the kit. No need to purchase those separately.

I never burned just directly on the cup. I used the Norton White Tile method on the mug. Just search that on NWT on KZfaq or Facebook and you will find lots of videos/posts about it.

Both versions can do tumblers successfully.

You can only open an .lqx in Laserbox Basic. It was the predecessor of XTool Creative Space. If you are looking for a grid for that you can find it here. www.etsy.com/listing/1277584267

It was made in Laserbox Basic.

Airbrushed on very slightly diluted Black Tempura Paint

Oh sorry. In the video that was cold compound spray but don't bother with it. Sprayed on black Tempura Paint with a cheap $11 airbrush from Harbor Freight works way better and is easier.

Should be. It's just a simple Nema 17 Stepper motor connection and the RA2 Pro comes with multiple connection options.

@@BusterBeagle3D Thank you for the information. I want to buy laser for engrave but now i am looking and searching the best options

@@BusterBeagle3D for now i think the sculpfun s30 pro max is the best options for price/quality but their roller is trash. Thats why i want laser with this ra2 roller

Yes. With the ring adapter and tilting the whole unit up a few degrees.

@@BusterBeagle3D Thank you!

I think the live stream said 3kg

It was made in Laserbox Basic so unfortunately there is no SVG file.

The grid file is free. You can find it here. It's the RA2PRo_Grid.lqx file. www.thingiverse.com/thing:5098673/files

I unfortunately do not yet have lightburn installed.

Unfortunately no. I only have the Laserbox basic version. I don’t have Lightburn installed yet.

@@BusterBeagle3D Thx, What are the distances from the center line to A, B & C lines?

@@DK-dp5gz 20mm, 38mm and 48mm I believe

Thank you and welcome!

Even if they sold the chuck by itself it would not fit or work with the RA2. You would have to change the base plate with a hole through where the motor is so that you can stick another stepper motor with an extra gear though it to attach the belt. You would also have to drill and tap mounting holes for the chuck in the base plate as well. The original RA2 also doesn't come with the riser bar or the holder for the round objects. So while there are similar aspects to both the parts between the 2 are not interchangeable.

Not sure what they need to get together but maybe I should go back and watch my own video to find out.

Hello and thank you for the offer. I love my LK5 Pro 3D printer and use it daily as my most dependable machine. I however have a few laser reviews stacked up an can't take on more right now but I may in the future. Thanks again!
