Quickly Engrave Multiple Items using a Template
In this video I show you how to engrave items in bulk using an acrylic template. This also works for oddly shaped items. It will save a lot of time as opposed to aligning one piece at a time.
You will need:
- CO2 Laser Machine with a honeycomb table
- Laser Software (I use Lightburn)
- Small flat magnets
- acrylic sheet (any thickness)
If you would like to see how to transfer dimensions of oddly shaped object to Lightburn, please see this video:

    • @laserillusionstech
      @laserillusionstech 20 วันที่ผ่านมา

      Thickness generally doesnt matter when just engraving. It only matters if youre going to cut the acrylic with the laser. What matters more is that you use cast acrylic and not extruded. That being said, I usually use 4mm cast acrylic for most of my acrylic engraving projects since I have a 50w laser and anything thicker would need power higher than 80% or multiple passes..

    I like the redesign . Would you be willing to release a parts list for the panels, extrusion, and such for anyone wanting to upgrade? It doesn't look like those are 2020 for the gantry. Your xyz looks better designed than my current as well. I think you missed an opportunity for enhancements, though. These are some personal enhancements I have on mine: toggle switches to enable and disable steppers for each access, this allows safe manual movements without needing to turn off everything. A rotary switch to easily switch from normal use to rotary tool use. A digital temp/flow guage, red dot on off switch. Separate fan and air assist on off, air assist flow adjust , usb in out for camera, etc. I've also designed a wireless dongle to use "not the lightburn pi wireless" this one allows you to use camera and the laser wirelessly and runs on a pi zero. The dongle actually gets powerd from the 2nd usb on the dsp, so no special wiring is needed. Obviously these are all personal use cases, but I think the flow/temp sensor along with the flow cutoff switch are very useful, as well as the motor switches .

    • @laserillusionstech
      @laserillusionstech 5 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Thanks for the feedback! :) Appreciate it. Ill release a parts list for the frame and panels soon on my facebook page. The extrusions are 2020 extrusions from 8020.net. Initially I was going to use 4040, but I figured that 2020 would do just fine if designed correctly and its cheaper. For me personally, I just use my controller arrow keys to move the head to the position that I want when the machine is on, so I dont need any toggle to disable the steppers. I usually try to avoid moving the gantry manually with my hands when the machine is off since the stepper will work as a generator if you move it very fast and could potentially damage some things due to voltage spikes, although it is very unlikely... I also have flow and pressure control already on my air assist lines using a pressure regulator and a needle valve. As for the digital temp gauge, the chiller already has a readout of the actual water temperature, so I didnt need to add any other temp. gauge on the machine. And I dont currently use a rotary anyways, so I didnt think of adding a "quick switch" wiring for it, but will definitely do an upgrade when I decide to get a rotary in the future. As for the red dot pointer toggle switch and the wireless use of light burn, those are very good ideas as well. Will definitely need look into those. Thanks! ❤

      @Protocol-X 5 หลายเดือนก่อน

      ​@laserillusionstech that is the point of the switches for the steppers. It allows you to manually move them without worry of building a charge. But again personally find it useful in circumstances. And yes I know the chiller has that info, but for me it's nice to have all in 1 spot, and unless I am wrong, you cannot wire the chillers guagers into the dsp ? I don't own a chiller I built my own, so I only know what I've read. And yes I figured you had the flow assist on the lines, it just comes down to ease of use and access. Everyone has what works for them :) just sharing. You definitely have one of the better designs I've seen. I like the idea of a single unit instead of a case built around the laser like I have.

    • @laserillusionstech
      @laserillusionstech 5 หลายเดือนก่อน

      @@Protocol-Xyeah for the chiller, it can be wired directly to the dsp. You can set the alarm on the chiller, and if your temp. goes beyond the setpoint, it will send a signal to the dsp and it will disable the CO2 power supply :)

    • @Protocol-X
      @Protocol-X 5 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Seems a comment got lost. Sorry if this is a duplicate, but check out led strip diffusers. They have ones that fit 2020 and make a huge difference over straight led strip. If you are interested, you can also build yourself an attachment to use this as a galvo marking laser . I've done it on mine, it is still a work in progress, and a bit costly ~ 800$. It works pretty well, but I need a better alternative to a printed attachment due to the heat that mirrors build up. You would need to make sure your current setup has z clearance for a galvo lense focal length though. Could be an awesome video to see.

      Either turn your air assist off, or use a nozzle with a larger hole and minimum air assist. You can also use a dc fan blowing parallel to the workpiece to clear the debris during engraving, as seen in my video.

    • @laserillusionstech
      @laserillusionstech 8 หลายเดือนก่อน

      @@TarunSonga Im assuming youre using a CO2 laser right? Those small little dots are hot splatters while youre engraving. When they land back on your acrylic, it stays there. Add a very thin layer of dish soap to the acrylic right before engraving. Then when those splatters land back on your acrylic sheet, it will automatically cool, and you can wash it out afterwards with warm water. Dont use rubbing alcohol to clean acrylic. Sometimes it creates clouding and micro-cracks. Only soap and water. Cheers!

I have no problem engraving but pulling my hair out trying to cut through my 3mm mirrored acrylic. I've tried very slow and fast speeds with all ranges of power and trying single to up to 10 passes for all my tests. I'm either getting engraving marks only or a melted mess. I've also tried cutting with mirrored side up and down as well as applying painter's tape to the face. Any suggestions as to how I can cut through?

I tried to do the same, and it looks OK, but I have fingerprints, or some other smudge on the acrilyc, just like yours had at the outro (only visible when lit), how can I clean that? I tried everything, soap, alcohol (you were right, I shouldn't have), window cleaner, even bought an acryl cleaner as well, but the marks of the wiping are always visible. (Also tired with microfibre, cotton cloth, paper towel, with the same results)
