This is the best explanation on hatching I've seen! I’ve had my laser for several years and had never fully understood what these settings were doing until now. Thanks 🙏
*LIKED AND SUBSCRIBED* Best tutorial for beginners I've found to date. Extremely clear, to the point, no waisted time and very easy a beginner to understand without talking over our heads. Do you have any videos explaining how to use a rotary and engrave rings for beginners? If not, hopefully you'll consider it but I'll be looking at your entire library shortly. Thank you!
Thx, this was a useful video. My 12.1 version doesn't have the cross hatch option in the hatch menu, so if I want a cross hatch, I use hatch two to make the cross hatch. But I guess that I switch to version 2.14.11, easier that way. I didn't know what you told at the end about the outline contour, so giving it a different color outside the hatch will solve some issues that I had with it. :)
Hi, i'm wondering if you can help me . i'm using EZCAD2 and i need to drill 28 micrometers deep and not sure if it's supposed to be 0.28 or 0.028 . in the drill mode there is something says ms. not sure if it's stand for micrometers or millimeters
@@josheeeeeeeeeeeeeeee Depth will be a function of speed, power, and number of passes. I don't have experience with the 'drill mode' setting for raster images so I can't offer too much here.
Looking for clarification on your explanation of hatch and angle settings 15:45 in your video. Someone please correct me if I'm wrong because I haven't tested this yet and I didn't read through all 107 comments but I understood this to work as follows: Angle (above count) defines the initial angle the hatch lines are marked where Count describes the number of times/passes that one full cycle of hatches are marked, and Auto Angle Rotate describes the rotation in degrees that the next hatch set will be marked in relationship to the previous pass/marking until the number of counts are complete (effectively making a style of crosshatch). Sound correct? -Thank you so much for all your videos. HUGE help for us beginners.
i have a question abouth hach , whena almost finish hatch, in my machine , it engrave a grid. i do not know if it is something wrong or i am making a mistake. could you explain me? thanks.
Hi Jeffrey Thank you so much for the tutorial about hatching. It’s super useful as always. Just a few questions tho. 1. Why the hatch settings can make clearer and more solid colours on metals (black, white, silver or grey) than only using parameter settings to engrave on metals? 2. I noticed in your previous videos that the Laser off/on, End and Polygon have different parameter settings. How do these settings change the colours I want to engrave on metals without hatching? 3. What is the best parameter settings to engrave on sterling silver or gold metal in black without hatching?
Thank you very much for the informative videos. I have the 50w laser machine and each time I try and get accurate left ro right lines.. the angle constantly changes. Any ideas on what this could be?
Ei na empresa que trabalho tem máquina a laser, porém mexemos na configuração sem saber e as letras na hora da gravação na peça sai invertida. no Ezecad na área onde o texto fica esta normal, so na peça mesmo que invente você poderia me ajudar.
Do you know how to get a hatch to keep a parameter setting? When I setup hatch 2 and 3, the parameter settings do not change with each hatch I set, do I need to group the logo after setting individual hatches?
So what do you do if you are running 2.9.9 and there is no crosshatch setting at all, and the "auto rotate hatch angle" feature does not have any effect?
Great video! Everything works for me up to the point of pressing the mark button. When I press the mark button it shows where it would be marking but doesn't mark.. do you know what the problem could be. Sorry in advanced if I'm missing something easy. I'm a noob at this stuff! Thanks
thank you Jeffery for sharing the information, I'm thinking of getter a fibre laser to mark small logos on stainless, your videos are really helping me make an informed purchase, my worry was that most demo videos are from china and not clear information, is the machine you use a 20 or 30w?
I do not get a plain box like yours . once I hatch I get many squares inside my box till they are little in the middle . how do I get it empty. they are there rather cross hatch is mark or not
Awesome video !!!! Have you ever had a situation when hatching it is adding another cross hatch that goes super slow. ? I’ve checked all the settings and I can’t seem to find where to find it, Or why it’s happening
Hi, Very helpful information, Can you help with a problem I have found, When I put a size of say 10mm characters they engrave as 6.9mm, Have I got a setting wrong?
Your settings should be fine. The fonts have a baseline on which the letter sits as well as clearance above and below the letter that is referred to as ascending and descending heights. These values are unique to every font and both amounts are included in the 10mm 'height', so when you change the 'height' you're not setting the actual marked Y dimension. If you're just marking one line, select your text on the screen, set the height in the X, Y dimensions boxes (with the ratio lock activated) for an actual 10mm Y value instead of using the 'height' box. Your actual Y value is now 10mm while the 'height' now changes to a value greater than 10mm. Make sense?

Do you know what version you need? I have 2.14.10 (download link here www.rayfinetech.com/download.html ). You'll need to input your parameters. I assume you have the BJJCZ drivers already installed correct?
HI.. HOW ARE YOU...? I have bought one Chinese laser machine and it's software broke down. Where can I found the software and drivers. I AM USING it for engraving chromium plated brass materials.
Great content. Very straightforward. I hope you could teach us how to use the rotary marking. Honestly I am having issues using the rotary attachment. It's not rotating during marking even if RotaryMark is selected. Much thanks in advance sir.
@@jefferyj Thanks for the prompt reply. I'll keep an eye on your upcomIng videos. Maybe you can do the trick engraving on round parts like stainless mugs without the rotary attachment. More power.
Sure I might be able to help. There's quite a bit of assistance available at these facebook groups too: facebook.com/groups/250911899106529/ facebook.com/groups/440091022989424/ facebook.com/groups/300139820848489/
Hatch Patterns, do certain patterns work best for certain metals and is one pattern faster then the other? New to lasering trying to learn / understand as quick as I can!!
Make sure you are hatching the correct parts of your file and that you don't have any open contours in your artwork. Are you committed to using the STL format? If you have access to Adobe Illustrator, the AI3 file format seems to be the most friendly to import into ezcad.
