- A simple project made from a slate sign that I had left over from a job. Design process in lightburn included.
For templates that I have made, check out my Etsy shop. I build files for projects and tools for laser engravers.

Not sure the room service is available around here.. lol
Awesome job. Looks great. Thx for the video and the inspiration to make one.
Very welcome
A real awesome result very impressed
Thanks
Love your videos. I would love to see more of the Lightburn process. Thanks Tim
I will see what I can come up with,, Thanks.
It looks good! Great job! Love your videos. I just got the D1 pro 20W. I can't wait to get started!
Have fun!
Looks great!
Thanks!
Thanks very much. Very helpful.
You're welcome!
Verry nice Dave.
Thanks
Good job Clak
Thanks
I engraved 8x11" slate with the 'Teeter' coat of arms and gave them to my grandkids for Christmas. I did a topcoat before engraving. They looked great, but they didn't smell very good when engraving. Thank goodness for exhaust!
Actually, the slate was 200x300mm
I did a test grid and found that I liked 50% power at 40mm/sec with my 10w
I didn’t notice any odor..
Looks great. I am thinking for my first attempt at slate and engraving i should have went with square and not circular slate. Love your videos
Just use a jig or mark the center and run from CURRENT POSITION
@@TheClackShack Thank you i had not thought of that
Great video as always. Take care and stay safe. See you sunday
Thanks! You too!
I have found that the etch really pops if you precoat your slate with a little clear lacquer.
That is an option...
Yes. I use a coat of shellac first.
What kind of eye protection do you use? I want to be able to watch the laser work a bit but not with the cheap pair it came with haha. Just got the same laser a few months ago and have been loving it! Your videos have really helped me with learning how to run it.
These are what I wear with the blue diodes. amzn.to/3M2UWIZ
I would love to learn more about lightburn I am new to lightburn and know little about it I used Photoshop, Autocad and CorelDraw but I am moving away from those due to the expense of updating every year.
It is a very powerful tool and has lots of capabilities. I still have photoshop for photos and video editing.
Dave, great TH-cam series, I watch from the UK. Have you done any slate engraving with the Ortur Laser Master 3 yet, and if so, could you please let us know what settings you used?
I haven't but as you may know, my LM3 is now a 20 watt hybrid. A 10 watt, I would run 70mm/s at 100%. About the same as coated stainless settings.
Thanks Dave.
Thank you for that video, just one question, 10w D1, using 70 speed, 100 power, how many passes should I do?
I just do one
Nice
Thanks
I think your videos are brilliant i've watched quit a few, i've only just pluged up my Xtool pro, i purchased your patterns for the alignment jigs and i was wondering how i import them to the machine from my email
Regards steve
You download them from Etsy. If you are using XCS, import the dxf file. XCS will modify the size of other file types. Unless they have fixed it
I have the Xtool D1 Pro 20w machine. I did my first slate at 100% power and 200mm/s speed, it came out fine, but I would like to get the engraved part a little whiter. Any suggestions on maybe changing the speed or power settings. Thanks.
You could mask and paint. Slate will only get grey from my experience
Do you have any recommended settings for the 10w non-pro for slate?
I would think 70mm/s at 100% would work well.
@@TheClackShack awesome. Thanks!!!
Im a bit confused on the "focus" you are talking about, I never use the button on the right side of the laser, just the left to adjust using that metal rod to set the spacing between the laser and the material.
I tried an engraving on slate with your settings and it turned out very rough and gravely.
The right side is the "Z offset" so to speak. Should be set to 0 for engraving and half the thickness for cutting.
Do you sell the plans for your enclosures?
I have them to download in our Laser Engraver Community group on Facebook.
Just ordered my slate on Amazon. You are becoming hard on my wallet!
Order enough to sell a few and finance your personal one... it works.
@@TheClackShack that’s exactly what I do. I usually keep the first one which my wife confiscates, and sell the remainders. If I find there is a demand I start making and selling more.
I always try to “pay-off” my hobby if I can. My wife doesn’t buy “ it’s a write-off” anymore!

Thanks
I set my 20w D1pro to 100/100 and yours is going about 10 times faster than mine. Lol Any idea why that may be?
My guess is that I use MM/S and you are running MM/M. Take my speed and multiply by 60= 6,000 MM/M
Hi, wouldn't it be easier to see what you are doing, if you got rid of the honeycomb base. It is irrelevant. No? Great video.
I don't take the honeycomb out. Not needed for engraving but doesn't hurt.
@@TheClackShack I'm talking about the grid when you are plotting it out. It just seems extra busy.
@@jakerazmataz852 , It doesn’t bother me. Always have it up
@@TheClackShack Cool. Is it possible to remove it for future reference. I'm really close to dropping the hammer on an xTool with rotary.
Sound volume low starting at 1:15
Different mic on the PC, I may need to adjust for it next time. Sounded ok on my headphones when editing.
Nice job! Did your wife love it?
She liked it, it is in the mantle now
