Beautiful!
settings?
this is a trade secret by laser guys but you sir is a hero. Thank you for posting this!!!
my pleasure, i hate the way settings are kept secret, i learnt from the groups so now im giving back to the groups
Awesome!!!
Thank you
That's Awesome!
Thank you, so is the machine
Great video, shame shipping cost of material is around 8x product cost to post to the UK
Thats odd i never paid that much, is that from their site or aliexpress?
@@Nonprofessional_Tinkerer From US site - 10 300mm sheets around £5 but then circa $40 delivery. From China is £15 for the same thing but then circa £12 for delivery. Doesn't detract from your good video though :).

Ready for the walkthrough video and great video
thank you, full walk through on my channel :)
My 20w does absolutely stufall, so hey start saving for the bigboys
I hardly miss my kidney to get this laser lol
I'm curious how long this job took to run. I'm relatively new at this but I setup something similar and the estimate was over 5 hours.
This piece took 40 minutes
@@Nonprofessional_Tinkerer I'm new to fiber, so I didn't have much of a feel for how long things take but it sounds like the Lightburn estimate is way off. I think there is a way to calibrate the Lightburn estimates, so I'll look into that. Thanks for the info!
@@FreddyMakes it could be your speed is in mm/m instead of mm/s
im guessing you cant do this if ona 30w raycus ou need a mopa laser for the Frerqueency as my one I just bought doesn't go as far as 450hz obvs. I'm new to fiber so trying to figure out thanks great video though..
Try at 450 and see the result im not sure it will be much different but worth a try :) the frequency inlightburn is amendable by the user so worth getting the specs for your laser and making sure it is max 450 or can be set to higher
@@Nonprofessional_Tinkerer think my machine only goes to 60hz. For raycus right.
@@magic1nds yes unfortunately raycus 30w can only go to 60. Still worth a try at 60 to see the result
@@Nonprofessional_Tinkerer yeah true
@@Nonprofessional_Tinkerer thanks for replying
Excellent thank you! May I ask what lens you used to do the engraving?
Thank you, 150mm lens
Impecable
Thank you, thats very kind
What machine is this and what setting do you have it on as well as products used
@@killsforthrills both in the description of the video
Which glass mirrors are those?? Could you provide a link.? Thanks
sure www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B08YK17HBQ/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Looks awesome! I did a challenge coin, copying your settings, from a previous video. It took 3 hours to do one side. Is that a normal amount of time? That was for making the image come out black.
thank you, hmm no, was that just a single layer?
Yes, I’ll try to pull that back up and take a screenshot of the settings. I must have done something wrong, but I thought I copied your settings verbatim
@@spencerc4054 are you doing the speed in mm/m or mm/s?
👍👍👍 Very nice!
Thank you very much!
Love the irony of Alucard messing with mirrors 😊👍
This is true lol
Bummer you didn’t show the engraving that’s the coolest part .
You dont see anything with these
What size lens
In the description
How much time did the laser have to run for this piece?
it was about 40 mins
@@Nonprofessional_Tinkerer Not bad. Very cool. Thanks for sharing!
@@HellsVampiro thank you, my pleasure
Nice. Lol, just needs a touch of some brass foil on the wheels and leaving on a beach... Lol! Next weeks Ancient Aliens episode...
hehe wouldnt that be something to find in 1000 years
@nostraodamus1980 Lol! Yes it would be. A new Antithekera mechanism lol, or absolute proof of ancient aliens. Inspirational, thanks for the video. Btw, nothing wrong with the voice it's better than AI.
@@mabonbran8913 thank you indeed, will be uploading a new one this weekend for mirrors so stay tuned if thought about trying them.
@nostrodamus1980 Excellent, I'll look forward to checking it out.
Can you do a detailed tutorial using ezcad 2
Great tutorial!
My pleasure
This is stunning. I‘ll for sure try that! Thank you.
My pleasure
That looks awesome!!!
thank you
Do you get the same effect if you on focus and less power? Sounds odd to set a machine off focused. Does the dot size increase then?? Or maybe its so little.
Good question, the offset was the solution to engrave well we say engrave but its not actually engraving the stainless steel, i believe it is just effecting the coating on top to make it black. It depends on the effect you wish to have on the steel engraving even at lower powers the lasers will char the steel. I basically discovered an acceptable image quality when i was making a marked black steel tag and forgot to offset the laser, so wanted to pass it on. Its a very fine line in power % where you will get no effect on the tag, to it burning a great big hole in it. A very informative channel is called SarbarMultimedia Russ goes indepth with the laser physics and the variables that change the quality of the beam, the punch of the power and its effects, quite fascinating.
Very helpful!
Thank you, i look forward to discovering and sharing more
I would have loved to see these next to each other to compare. Good video! Please keep them coming.
best i have is this drive.google.com/file/d/19Ksmyc8j1lIY3Q9zRU6uj9ULf0RJJDOy/view?usp=sharing
Those look great!!! I've got a bag of those dog tags so I think I'll give it a shot !!!
my pleasure, look forward to sharing the results, mine can always be improved
Awesome!
Thanks!
600 frequency? Mine only goes to 100
I would double check with the laser manufacturers notes to make sure
@@Nonprofessional_Tinkerer I did
@@swflscratcher5893 i dont think it will be impossible just will take some trial and error with some cards using 100 and slowing the speed down
A MOPA laser has a wider range of frequency, you seemingly got a normal (non-mopa) laser so you might want to play with it starting at 50 or something familiar.
Ho
Keep making these please.
@@wantafastz28 thats really kind of you thank you. Happy to post what i know and learn
Nice! I didn't know that option ! I tried to reproduce but I don't have 3D Sliced option, how did you get that ? I'm using a Falcon 2 pro. Thanks
Thanks, unfortunately 3DSliced is only enabled for galvo lasers
@@Nonprofessional_Tinkerer Do you mean the Galvo licence of Lightburn or the machine ?
@@HelloYohan sorry yes i was going to clarify that its only available on the galvo license that i can see
Very impressive! I'm afraid to ask what you saw when you googled "image of cracks"! 🙂
hahaha yeah certainly not a fun search if safesearch is off lol
is your laser in focus during lasering?
yes this is at focal point
Awesome! Thanks for sharing!
Awesome!
Excellent ..big thanks for sharing
learnt from the best, you take from the well, you give back to the well
Well explained. Thank you for posting this. Just what I was looking for. I also would rather hear your natural voice than some AI computer voice. Keep up the great work 😊
Thank you, means a lot. Im still learning but will keep posting as i go
👍👍👍
Awesome!!!
Thanks for this, I'll have to get some stone and give it a try 🙂 Did you get the stone from a hardware store?
My pleasure, not all stones will work but fun to try different types. These are sandstones from a local art and craft store
Nice work! I assume this is done with a 2.5D machine and not a standard 2D? Would EZCAD 3 do this as well as Lightburn?
@@kreakleuter thank you. im not sure about the first question, if your asking if the machine uses any sort of z axis movement to do this. The answer is no, this was done at a fixed focus. Im sorry im not aware of ezcad being able to do this, only lightburn
@@Nonprofessional_Tinkerer thnx, got it , all clear now🙏
@@kreakleuter glad i could help
I think we have the same machine or very similar ... thanks for the video. Are you sure you're configured correctly? I'd expect to see an available entry for q-pulse width, your MOPA should have it available ... Check the Device settings -> Ports and laser settings and enable q-pulse width setting. Nice work... love the concept... I'm in an area with lots of various types of rock... I can melt volcanic rock to produce glass that is black. There isn't any great detail available in any of the rocks I've used, so I use a long lens. An F254mm (175x175mm coverage) has a depth of focus (dof) of about 4.8mm. If you focus to the center of that area, it will remain in focus for almost 5mm. The F420mm has a dof of about 13mm. Of course the tradeoff is detail and a bit of power, but a much greater range. Not sure if I'm sold on the >256 pass option, but the jury is still out, at least with me.. I think if you're doing 3dslice you should use the 256 value for passes. This is a post by Oz on the Lightburn forum on it's operation. With 3D Slice, each pass is thresholded to the current threshold value, and the result is run as a 1-bit image. If you use 256 passes you get exactly one pass per gray-level in the image. Every pixel at or below brightness 255 for the first pass, every pixel at or below 254, then 253, and so on. If you choose 128 passes, you get every pixel at or below 254 for the first pass, then 252, then … It “clusters” the layers together into batches if you use fewer than 256 passes, and will duplicate some layers (with even spacing) if you use more than 256. 384 passes would duplicate every 2nd layer. 512 passes would duplicate every layer.
@@jackwilborn2353 this light burn is one not attached to my laser as was using it just to record in OBS, yes if LB is set up correctly you'll have pulse width too but as it used the default I just left it. It is very much trial and error and in the groups I've seen brass done with nearly 4000 layers. I would say it's a project for someone like Nicky Norton who will demonstrate the differences the amount of layers make. It's still very similar to how we used to do line intervals that coincide with the nema17 motor steps but even with a fiber laser we are still using the same DPI values. There are so many variables with the fiber galvo lasers that I tend to just go with what works for me. If someone posts improvements I will certainly try them out. My posts I'm uploading to give basics for others to try and experiment with as a lot of using these machines seems to be cloaked in secrecy and not sharing the settings used. I learnt all I know from the groups so these are to show my results and how I got em. I will give 256 a go though to see if there is any difference, also would make sense to try multiples of the 256 in order to get more defined edges. It's definitely something to ponder :)
This is very well done sir.. love it.. (Wish I could hear it though.. =) (Video has no audio for me..)
Thank you, yes the short has no audio but if you wish to know how the engrave is done, there is another full video on my channel with a walkthrough
Hi there ,great video. What type of stone are you using .i am trying to replicate and using sandstone stones,I'm getting some peaks occurring.tbh it has happened with slate too. I have a Cloudray 50w JPT . Great video again
these are sandstone rocks too, i know exactly what you mean and get them on some stones but not on others. Im not entirely sure why it happens to be honest, i think it might be something to do with air pockets within the stone
@@Nonprofessional_Tinkerer I've tried using your settings,and tried lower frequency too ,trial and error as always.thanks for your quick response.keep up the great work.😎
@@jumbostattoostudio no problem, ill do an update if i find out anything further but i think its just the nature or organic materials
Wow! I didn't even know this kind of thing was a thing!!!! What type of laser do you use if you don't mind me asking?
Thank you, im using an OMG-X 60w mopa from OMGLaser.com
This is absolutely amazing. I seriously gotta give this a try but I only have a 30W MOPA.
@@TweakerIncorporated thank you, certainly give it a go, just remember not all stones will give same result so try different types
Thanks for showing the work flow.
@@wantafastz28 my pleasure
Very nice I am going to try those settings. Never tried a Frequency/Q-pulse combination like that.
Me either but it works
