วีดีโอ

I’m missing something here. For the letters you are engraving away all the acrylic but leaving the protective coating? The laser doesn’t affect the clear layer? Or is this material have 2 layers - one clear and one opaque?

Thank you very much for the update. Hope your Rotax Motor is running soon!

I like your visual height demonstration! Keep pressing forward you will get it mounted.

Looks´like you´re 90% done and have 90% to go 👍. Don't compare yourself to him, the 750s all already have the "match drilled holes" kit, which makes it a lot faster. My wife and I also work on an "old" 701 kit and often wait for orders. But you are already much further along than we are.

Really like that flag scheme for the panel! Cool idea!

Thank you sir for the tip!

promo sm ☺️

How do you backlight gray? I thought you had to use something like translucent white, then a coat of paint, then engrave. Im really curious about this as Im new but wanting to have a better understanding before some trial runs

Is this supposed to work with IR laser over metal surface? I tried it and it did not cut through the tape. it just dyed my surface blue with the project instead of actually engraving.

So the laser can’t cut out the placard?

We had such a fun time. We can't wait to fly in to the next one. Thank you, Bill and Dr. Mark for hosting. Bridget had a blast. Build was so fast She left a loose rivet inside!

Great video! Thanks for your hospitality!

Co2 laser?

Did you mount the blob on the wall as a reminder? Johni is still laughing. She has a weird sense of humor that way.

I haven't had a blob that bad on any of my Bambu printers, but the few times I had any nozzle issues was always PETG and using bad settings for my print or in one case some sketchy wet filament I didn't want to take the time to dry. That said beyond heating it up to melt it off the best method of keeping the nozzle clean I've found is the printable mod which lets you use the A1 nozzle cleaner instead of the little wiper or in combination with the wiper. Ever since I did that I haven't had any trouble with the nozzle not being perfectly clean. Now my elegoo printers had this problem all the damn time, as such I found using my solder station with helping hands to hold the iron and nozzle together so I could use both my hands to use pliers and needles to properly clean was the best method.

I have no idea what you are doing wrong. I have thousands of hours printing with my x1c p1s and p1p and never had thst happen

Great Job! Mr J has done projects for me in the past. Always high quality results. Highly recommend his shop!

Nice to see an update from your 701 again. Wish you much success and fun at your workshop in February.

Looking good!

Hey Stan, see you in February!

Enjoyed.

We will be there. If I fly my CH601 in are they going to charge us a landing fee?

Looking forward to seeing both of you in February!

i've seen a video about this foodcoloring lines problem. there are different kind of paints and different kind of masking tapes. If I remember it correctly there is a dry paint that works very wel with masking tape to colour in without the lines. Now finding that dry paint that is also foodsafe is going to be the quest of the day.

Hi! Does this work for single color AND multicolor objects??

I do not think this is ideal for aircraft panels. You are adding significant thickness to the panel which usually causes trouble for switches etc. for fitment

This the "a-ha!" moment video, great job!

If you seal the bamboo with spray lacquer it will seal the grain and keep the colors from running.

Its printing so good.

Very very cool printer yet it is really to small and you may want to look into other larger printers like the QIDI Max 3. I'm in my second year of 3d printing and am loving it! fyi just play around with the printer more and you will find you don't need the glue. I have never used glue to this day and printing is fine you just need to adjust the printer head just right. Also be sure to keep the plate as clean as you can. I always wash the plate off before printing.

The Aircraft data plate looks really great! 👍

Do you fill in the data plate with customer information?

The panel looks good and so does the idea of changing the position of your laser often. Will there be a video of the construction of your 701 soon?

I'm wondering why you didn't cut the perimeters using the laser instead of all that manual cutting and sanding.

What material are you using? It it painted white first then black over the top?

Wow ... I'm glad I stumbled across this video ... I've been searching for ideas on how to re-label the switches and breakers on my vintage Mooney. Is that something you've done before?

Wish you a lot of of luck and success in your new workshop 👍 Hope you will find soon time for your CH 701 project.

You can always do a garage paint or epoxy coating for the floor

Between my 3D printers and laser engraver I basically should own stock in blue painter's tape at this point.

Great video Jaime! And nice demo of the quiet air compressor! We tried to take it home with us too!

Nicely done! Thanks again for your wonderful hospitality and support

Thank you Jaime for an excellent video! Sharlene and I were honored to be a part of the workshop and are already looking forward to doing it again next year!

What a great video! Nice job!

Great video Jaime.

Have you tried transfer tape and if so which do you prefer?

Compared to 2 weeks ago, you and your friend have made good progress with the left wing. 👍

Even if it's only a small step forward, many small steps will lead you to your goal. I'm already looking forward to your next video. My wife and I delivered our ZAC CH 701 on February 3rd and plan to start building soon.

I wish you all the best for the Zenith workshop and that you can finish your 701 in 2023!

I bought my big 100 watt laser with the intention of laser marking my plane. I told the wife it was for me to make some extra cash and for her to make things for craft shows. It was $6500 including customs broker fees. Of course the first thing I did was laser my plane. I made two headset connections for the back seats so I pulled off those anodized panels and engraved them. The instrument panel was next so I did that and it got a lot of attention. I had people coming to be left and right to get things make for their plane. I'm an IA so if I do something to their plane I may see something else that can make me some extra money. I'm going to do my yacht next (No not rich. I picked up a 75ft - 5 state room yacht for $95,000) so hopefully I'll get customers from that.
