A very good and helpful video on how to work with the laser module. I assembled my Artisan the last few days. I was used to 3D Printing, but now i want to do more what i bought the Artisan for. I rather watch good videos than spending hours of reading documents or wiki and missing parts. Thank You!
Really glad it was helpful. Hope you're up and running now. It's been a while since I've uploaded laser content but I do have some new stuff on the way fairly soon. Take care.
Thanks for this, i wish there were as detailed videos via snapmaker but thank the lord you came through for the whole team! Awesome job on describing and the visual
Thanks John. I've still got a way to go with recovery, but I'm at least able to hold up appearance for the length of a video haha. Let me know if there's anything in particular you'd like me to try and cover.
Thanks very much, really glad it helped! Let me know if there's ever anything else you'd like me to cover. I've got lots more Snapmaker / Laser videos coming out next year.
@@3DRevolution I have been attempting to learn the 10W laser for a while. I recently attempted to engrave some regular house keys with text but have not been successful. Any suggestions?
@@drjohn148 I will eventually be doing a series of videos on the 10w laser, but in the mean time, let's have a think. Do you know what your keys are made of? If you aren't treating them with a marking material before the laser, and they aren't anodised, then they won't engrave even with the 10w laser.
@@3DRevolution The keys are made of standard key material and are coated. I will try applying marking material and see how that works. In the meantime, I'm subscribed and will welcome whatever you put together about the 10W laser. Many thanks.
Hey thanks glad you like it. I use these webcams: amzn.to/3U6ZFhJ I designed an adaptor that allows you to securely screw them in inside the enclosure: www.printables.com/model/153183
Followed along up to the camera capture and kaput. Ghosted selection where I cannot select Add Background. SMH Back to the troubleshooting drawing board.
That was a helpful video. Question about the Object list; Have you found a way to change the names to something meaningful? Text 1, Text 2, Text 3 etc makes it hard to keep track of. I really want to use the names of the text and shapes I created. Thanks.
Hi Robert, thank you, I'm really glad the video has helped. Unfortunately you aren't able to do that in Luban. You'll need to design it in something else then import it, or use something like LightBurn.
This is the first tutorial I have watched on the subject and now feel much less nervous about having a go! 😁 A question: How would you ensure a tidy outline to the text? I noticed during the tutorial a close up of the text showing open-ended lines on the vertical edges of the characters. On the brief view of the end result this looked to be confirmed. Would you have to create a second tool path for the text as a vector path just to do the outside of the text? I can imagine this idea though could burn the top and bottom edges of the text where the tool paths coincide?.
Hey Jack, ah glad the video has given you a bit more confidence. Sorry forgive me, I don't fully understand your question, give me another try with a different description
Thanks for the reply. What I mean is, the left and right edges of the text characters are jagged by design because of the horizontal fill, you can see it here th-cam.com/video/MKXoRlWRkjo/w-d-xo.html . The result is shown here th-cam.com/video/MKXoRlWRkjo/w-d-xo.html . If one wanted a clean outline to each character, with an infill too, how would it be done?
Hey Herr, ooh this is a really fun idea. Let me have a little think and play around and I'll either come back to you with a comment or a whole new video :)
Ah sorry about that. Just go for a mid-point on your first run of it, somethign that won't burn through your material but will be visible enough to read. You can then adjust the releative levels with subsequent runs with your machine.
Hi, I am new to the Snapmaker Familie and I currently have troubles with the Snapmaker Programm. When I prepare a G-Code for Laser Engraving/Cutting the Printer cuts/engraves on the travel movements. (For example if I want to cut a Circle the Laser already starts Cutting in the Middle of it on its way to the outline of the circle.) Did anyone have the same Issues (or was to stupid to slice 😅) and know what the solution might be.

@@3DRevolution Thanks. The first laser jobs went perfect on the device.
@@tuxflyer great! Glad to hear it!

Really glad you found it useful. It's been a while since I've done much snapmaker content but would like to do some more later this year.
Thank you for this. Just got the Artisan and this video was extremely helpful.
Glad it was helpful, hope you enjoy the Artisan!
Thanks for making this tutorial! Very detailed and helpful for learning Luban.
Glad to see you have recovered from your accident. Will definitely follow and try to learn something.
Thanks John. I've still got a way to go with recovery, but I'm at least able to hold up appearance for the length of a video haha. Let me know if there's anything in particular you'd like me to try and cover.
This is very informative and straight to the point. Thank you!
You're welcome, and thank you so much for commenting, I really appreciate it.
Plenty more tutorials on their way so keep watch.
Thank you 🙏🏻 very detailed and simple video for laser etching and cutting.
You're very welcome, hope it was helpful, and thanks for commenting
Great video. I was struggling getting to grips with some of the nuances of luban. Thank you!
Thanks very much, really glad it helped! Let me know if there's ever anything else you'd like me to cover. I've got lots more Snapmaker / Laser videos coming out next year.
best informative video for Luban. thanks
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you. Well explained. Jim Bell (Australia)
Thanks Jim, gad it helped! Take care!
thanks for your efforts on this. I learned a few things
You're welcome, and thanks for your comment, it's great to hear that people find it useful.
Very helpful. Many thanks for doing.
Really glad it's helpful. Thanks for the comment, it really is appreciated.
I've got many more videos on the way including more Snapmaker ones!

This is a really great video, thanks. What kind of webcam do you use in your enclosure? I'm having trouble finding one that fits nicely
Hey thanks glad you like it.
I use these webcams: amzn.to/3U6ZFhJ
I designed an adaptor that allows you to securely screw them in inside the enclosure:

Fabulous! Thanks ! Help a lot
Really glad to hear it! That's why I'm here so every time a video helps someone, it makes it all worth while!
good tutorial, well done
Thanks, glad you liked it.
This is great! Where is the grid video?
Thanks! I've not made it yet but it's among the next ones on my list so it should be up over the next week or two.

Sorry for the late reply. Could I check if you're still stuck or are you still searching for answers?

Hey, I've just popped a reply to your other comment
Thanks for this Video it helps me a lot ,but i have a question ,can you make the text along a cyrcle in Luban ?

is it possible to engrave on cone-shaped objects in one step with the rotary add-on?
Hey Herr, ooh this is a really fun idea. Let me have a little think and play around and I'll either come back to you with a comment or a whole new video :)
Does luban have a measuring tool for vector images? I need to see if the circles I want to cut are the correct size from a 2:1 image.
good clear video, I will use this with my students if I may?
Thanks
Not as such, but you could create circles or squares within luban, placed over your imported vector, that you can set to specific sizes.
Of course, glad you like it, and hope it helps!
I noticed you skipped the power setting for the text part, was it set at a stronger power than the etched design?
Ah sorry about that. Just go for a mid-point on your first run of it, somethign that won't burn through your material but will be visible enough to read. You can then adjust the releative levels with subsequent runs with your machine.

It sounds like you've got your laser turned on to 100% whilst you're positioning it. This isn't what you want to do. Which Snapmaker do you have?
