Good overview. Not a bad machine for someone who wants to get started on a budget or just has small projects. Now I need to look for your videos on how you do mirrors - the multi-colors look intriguing.
Would this be a good machine for doing custom engraving at shows to engrave names onto pre made blanks? With the filter and enclosure this is a nice little self contained unit. Also what power does it us, could this be run off a battery setup?
Based on reflections in the product images, the backing on the mirrors looks white. Is that right? I have some with white backing and it's not working great on material tests for the D1 Pro 20W.
Yes, the white wavy surface was challenging. I had to up the power and LPI to get a good image. May also wanna back the focus out about 1.5 mm. The 20 watt should be capable of doing it.
Thanks, I'll have to play with the LPI. I'm getting like 95% there, so I'm sure it'll get there. After looking at your links, I have the same ones you listed. Makes me feel better about giving it another go.
I have mirrors with a black surface and with a green surface. The mirrors with the black surface are going oke, not great. But the mirrors with a green surface is a problem. I do not get a smooth result and there are dots left (shinny pieces of the mirrorfoil). I also adjusted the focus and tried all the positions off speed and power. I have a small 3 watt laser, so I am looking for a better and stronger one. Did you give it another go and how did it worked out? I am just looking for tips. Maybe it helps me to choise the right laser engraver. The Icube would be great, because it is small and mobile, but I do not know if 10W is enough. Maybe the D1 pro 20W?
Hello I appreciate your videos. Where can I pick up the 4" mirrors? Did you make a file we can purchase for the stand? I bought the 12in frame from your etsy store and love it. Thanks again
I am not opposed to buying the kit from you already cut, as opposed to the digital file. If that is an option. Save me the hassle, and I am sure yours would be a much better finished product
I don't ship physical products. Not enough hours in the day. Here is the file.. theclackshack.etsy.com/listing/1664435568/sculpfun-icube-jig-system-file-read
Thanks… I bought it. What material should I cut it out of? Sorry, I am brand new to all this. Which is why I watch so many of your videos. LOL. I will be using a Sculpfun S30 Pro Max 20 w…. Any ballpark on settings for the cut? Speed/power? Thanks again.
I picked up a refurbed 10w icube direct from sculpfun for $199. Wanted something small to do custom keychains and whatnot at fairs and such. I tried it out for the first time yesterday (yes, there was some slop in the T tracks I had to adjust out) on a walnut keychain blank (3000mm/m; 30%) and it came out VERY well, as good as my 20w desktop laser.

Thanks. Yea, not many folks doing multiple colors on them. It is a process.
Would this be a good machine for doing custom engraving at shows to engrave names onto pre made blanks? With the filter and enclosure this is a nice little self contained unit. Also what power does it us, could this be run off a battery setup?
It could with the right setup. It could be ran off a battery setup
Thank you for the video. I learn sometimes every time.
Glad to hear. Have fun

There should be a link in the video description, I ordered them from Amazon
Do you recommend doing a speed test for a beginner?
Always
I am interested in the alignment tools you made for the icube, but I couldn’t find them in your etsy store.
Yea, I haven't added them yet. I will work on that, I wasn't sure if anyone would like them.
Hey, you are aware that the main part requires a larger machine to cut it out?

Peut-on avoir les plans de tes ajouts pour le Icube? Merci!

Ainsi que celui pour le suppôt de miroirs?

$369 seems like a lot for such a small machine. When I saw this I thought, "Oh, good idea for cranking out coasters if it's $99." No such luck,
No, it still has the controller, power pack and limit switches and module of the larger machines. The smaller size just means less extrusions.

Please, don’t stop lying!¡!
Not sure I understand your statement.
