Hi, thanks for your nice feedback. I use the DIY version of the rotary module - it is compatible with the Snapmaker rotary module. See other videos on this channel - there are two videos showing the design and assembly process of this rotary module.
Hi, the glass is transparent and does not absorb the diode laser beam :( The paint prevents the beam from penetrating - the laser heats the paint which melts into the glass. Similarly for transparent acrylic - a diode laser will not work (but a CO2 laser will).
Is the rotary unit shown in this video stock Snapmaker???? it looks totally different, if it is could yo share a link etc., Thanks! sorry didn't read other comments!
Hi, the rotary module is my DIY version with a slightly more powerful motor and a little bigger chuck. It is compatible with the original Snapmaker module. The construction and all components used, etc. are shown in other videos on this channel.
Yes - I think you can. However, you need to edit the resulting gcode file and adapt it to your machine. In my opinion, the best laser engraving software is LightBurn - you can use it on any machine and it has a lot of advantages.
Of course, it's no secret knowledge - I added material to the settings - just copied "Dot-filled Engraving" with parameters as shown in the video at 1:33
I bought at a local paint store - but you can buy from any distributor in your country - check here: www.rust-oleum.eu/distributors P.S. you can try with paints from other manufacturers - I also had good results. However, you then have to make several tests with different settings.
Really good work, Ronin. Thank you for this video. After watching several videos on laser engraving glass, I was wondering how to get around the visibility problems. My idea was to do the engraving in two steps with two different coatings to get a kind of two colour engraving. And I made a video about it: th-cam.com/video/CbjSP_jI6Sw/w-d-xo.html :-) Fun fact: we mount the glasses in different orientations. I think I like yours better, but I would be worried about breaking the glass if I clamped it on the open, more fragile side.
Thank you for the video. I followed along and it worked like a champ.
That is amazing dude, I was looking something like this.
Hi, great job. What kind of Rotary Module you use? Thanks

GREAT Video! I have the Snapmaker 10w laser should I change my speed, dwell or both? Advice is appreciated. the 10w likes to break glass. 😬 Thx!
I did a similar video with Snapmaker 10W laser and I used the settings: dot filled, 0.1mm, 65% laser power and a dwell time of 5ms.
Can I ask the reason of the spray paint? Is it just to help the engraving show better or is there another science behind it?

Mega👍
Hey bro, can you use this software with other machines, still 1.6 watt just a different brand?
Yes - I think you can.
However, you need to edit the resulting gcode file and adapt it to your machine.
In my opinion, the best laser engraving software is LightBurn - you can use it on any machine and it has a lot of advantages.
So your setting says "Ceramic" I assume that is a custom configuration, can you share that please?
Of course, it's no secret knowledge - I added material to the settings - just copied "Dot-filled Engraving" with parameters as shown in the video at 1:33
sir i have a no option on ceramic material tool path
Hi,
it's just a user setting. I added this to the settings - just copied "Dot-filled Engraving" with parameters as shown in the video at 1:33
Do you have the link for this spray? thank you in Advance
