I know this sounds a little soupy but when a person gives so much help it fills me with joy. This is a top drawer example of how to share...
Thank you for all you do, I got my laser yesterday and I'm painting my tiles for tests today.
Thank you!
Light burn and it’s developer’s are awesome😎
Definitely one of the best videos on this topic I’ve seen as of yet. Thanks for sharing your knowledge
I'm learning more every day, thank you. I actually like the texture you get from the reaction of the clearcoat over the paint. What I did was let it dry, run the air bubbles out of it and shoot another coat and voila !! a textured (by accident) finish.
Thank you ! Your series has been amazing, easy to follow and executed with perfection. I look forward to seeing more of these . :-)
Great vid, thank you. Getting ready to retire and have a cnc and laser in my shop. Seen something like this but yours is the best I have seen!
This video will change someone's life. Thank you mate.
Thank you for explaining how to use gimp, I was having a hard time trying to figure it out, keep up the good work :)
Thanks for all of your great content. I'm new to laser burning and I find your videos very helpful and well put together. Thanks for all that you do.
dude your killing it with these videos, informative, full of awesome ideas and entertaining for an instructional video.
Just learned so much from your video! Can't wait to try it out 🌈
Thank you so much. Learnt a few new things from your video, simple things like pressing shift with frame in lightburn. Thanks again.
Wow! That makes your work (probably ) faster , brilliant stuff
I love this, So educational and everything is shown step by step in simple steps,Thank you
Oh God..This is awesome..You have open my mind..I use my dioda laser only on wood and leather..Now I will try on tile like you do..thanks for new idea..
Excellent tutorial sir! Seriously, so great compared to others. I now am good at etching on tile because of you🤙🏽🤙🏽🤙🏽
Just a quick suggestion. Being an auto painter I would suggest using a grease and wax remover rather than lacquer thinner or acetone. These both are petroleum based and and do have oils in them. The grease and wax remover will prepare the material more cleanly. Thanks for your videos.
Thanks for the suggestion! I'll give it a shot!
Checked what my hardware store had today. Degreaser is right next to acetone, others have said degreaser is better for cleaning. Will try that first.
Bingo, being a contractor I say the same. I have tried them all and Krud Kutter is the safest most effective I have found. Wipes clean, you can use it on food prep surfaces but it cleans better than TSP.
@@johnhubbard6262Hi, which version of KK? Presume it's the "kitchen degreaser"?
Original, one gallon@@jf5336
This video is gold man! Thanks for the walkthrough!!!!
Thank you for making this. This is giving me soooooo many ideas going forward.
Loved the video. Keep more coming. Easy to understand especially for us new laser uasers.
Perfect! Just what i was looking for!
Excellent, glad that I found this channel. I have the same laser and look forward to more videos.
love your videos, thanks, I am learning to use programs so your details in programming is certainly an excellent way to play with my laser once I receive it.
Your the man Jim, most underrated channel by far
Awesome video. Love the Shinedown tile. I will def be giving it a shot.
Awesome video ! You are a natural, thank you for sharing, you made this easy to understand! All the best!
excellent explanation on how to use the test tiles. new to this and this is best explanation I have watched because I actually understood what was going on with the colors. thanks
This video is super inspiring thank you so much! 🌈
When dithering, the dots that make up the “lighter” area are black too so they will use the same percentage power as the larger black area in the letter S. The reason it doesn’t burn down to the white of the tile is that it ramps the laser power up and down as it enters into a black area of the image and it doesn’t have time enough to ramp all the way up to max power, so it doesn’t cut far enough. There are white spots in the areas where several dither dots are close enough together for the ramp to reach closer to the peak.
So if you want to make sure it is red and only red you should not use dithering. Instead you could get away with grayscale aka passthrough, but you’d have to guess and test the percentages.
A more sure way to control the values is to split the bitmap into different images and set them up separately in lightburn with the values from the test tile for each layer.
Could you do it as a two tone image where a grey tone is a consistent reduced power and then the black is a higher power setting? Or could you do it as a second pass on the "black" section to burn all the way through the paint?
Great information. My Ortur is on order so I am out here in youtube land trying to soak up all this information and I know i will be watching this video again for sure. Great information.
Man! You could totally make a geeked out kitchen or shower with these! Fun Times!
What should I say - you made my day man. Really good idea and nice work.

When I’m in your channel I feel like I kid in a candy store. Thanks for ensuring the world. 🌎
Great tutorial. I'm learning a lot from you.
Thanks.
Excellent work! I congratulate you!
Another informative video Jim. Picked up one of these lasers after having seen Garret on one of your videos with the hulk tile. Been doing the permanent tiles with some old family photos. Really amazing.
Keep up the great job with the 3D printers and now the laser.
how do you display the tiles once they are done?
Awesome video... thanks so much for the detailed descriptions!!!
Glad it was helpful!
Jim nice job on vid i have my laser coming on tues can't wait to tune it up and start burning,enjoyed the way you present the also.
J need a laser
This is so awesome. I’m going to buy a laser engraver as a gift for my sisters. They’re so excited.
Something I noticed that works better for me, is when I spray the paint, I firmly hold the button rather than pressing it multiple times during the coloring of the tile. Thank you!!
awesome video. well made and great instructions. thanks
Wow, this is indeed a great tutorial that made me amazed there are no limits. You are a great speaker. Very clear and easy to follow process, and right to the point. These are the kind of videos that I enjoy most. Keep up the good work. I am now a happy subscriber. Enjoy your holidays.
This is fabulous info! Thank you i will do my first color tiles today.
Awesome! Let me know how it goes!
Thanks for the info. Love your channel.
I love your videos! Very interesting and helpful
One of the best explanation videos I have seen using this laser. Really great detail for people starting out and you don't over complicate your instructions. Just subscribed to your channel. Cheers.
Thank you!
Awesome video! Thank you! The swatches is an awesome idea. For family photos just curious, what colors would you use to paint the tiles? Two colors or one? Just bought the LASER Master 2 and trying to dial this in to make coasters for a wedding gift.
Thanks!
Genius!!! thanks for sharing
dude you are a genius great job!!!
That is so cool! I ordered a laser for engraving pens and wondering what else I can do with it. Looks like I should stock up on spray paint and tiles because I'm gonna do a lot of these. Thanks!
Great video, my laser is on the way. Can't wait to try this....keep the videos coming.
What would happen if you tried more layers of different colors. Say 2 or maybe 3 colors under the black.....
*Great videos Jim!* Seems we have a lot of the same content! Hey, to fix your screen, go to Settings --> Toolbar Icon Size and scrub left with the slider. Love your channel!
I discover your youtube channel and its great content dont understant how you so little subscribers. Dont give up, and as you say "keep burning".
This is amazing. Thanks 🙏
Fantastic explanations, thanks!
Nice tutorial greatly appreciated 👍
Great information Thank you, Ed
Thanks for the tutorial!
Great video. New to this and wondered about tile. A lot more information.
Great videp. Just received my Octur 3 .
the most elaborate video i have seen
This is a great video and has helped me a lot with my own tile burning. However, there are two things. First, the lines in the burn test are at the default 6000 mm/min, which jiggles the crap out of my table (things have fallen off). Second, the "gray" area is supposed to be dots burned at the maximum power set, in your case 30. Shouldn't that have resulted in a bunch of white dots instead of the red? I did notice there are some white spots. Is there any way to know how much to compensate for the apparent loss of power (or whatever it is) that results in the lighter burn in the halftone areas?
I APPRECIATE YOU!!
HONESTLY!! THANK YOU!!
Just bought the Da Gim V3 plug in from your link 🙂 Ter
Egggggggggggggggggggggggggggggslent content. thanx for sharing. You Rock!
Amazing video! Thank you
In case anyone out there is having problems with peeling, bubbling or cracking paint Rustoleum support has told me it takes 2 weeks for your paint to cure completely before you should paint over it or clear coat. Just an FYI I learned the hard way.
Montana paints is an acrylic paint that cures in 24 hours if you need an alternative.
Excellent tutorial video thanks
great video ... I am only starting and this will be a great help
I put a very light pencil mark x in the center of my tile, position the laser in the center of the graphic, fire and square the tile to the work surface.
beautiful engineering!
Excellent Video Jim.You have Inspired me to what to get a Laser Printer when money allows.Still watching.
Awesome! Thanks for watching!
Exelente video . Gracias saludos desde Bolivia
Three years ago I know, but I was so impressed with your comment on PPE, your 20 years from now self is going to reap the benefits of that, just like I reaped the whirlwind ignoring it.
A point to consider is if you are worried about absorbing something through your skin, as you should be, you need to consider the fumes, your eyes will soak stuff up much faster than your skin, and do much more damage over time. Your painting outside in a breeze is huge when added up over time.
Good explanation. The Nicky Norton Tile method- for anyone that wants to look this stuff up further. Good video!
awesome video, you do great how to's
I need to check that out, but as other ppl did - so with removal of the paint with acetone after engraving. I already had a great effects just with white spray
Awsome, ordered this printer 1 week go, can't wait! Great video!
Thanks, l hope it helps when you get yours! Thanks for watching!
@@TheEdgeofTech This was very helpfull, many great tips and links. And the cork at the end, ordered it right away😂😎 keep it coming bud, great videos as always, greetings from Norway
@@bredehenriksen4497 Thank you!
This is unreal! Going to have to get a laser engraver next ahaha
HAHA it's addicting!!
Great video. Thank you! Can't wait to try it, but I'm just wondering if we can do the same thing on the canvas?
Fantastic video, thank you!
Nice thank you. What about doing one of those tiles with no paint for engraving into tile but not knowing how much power you should use?
great video. i spraypaint a lot. the "dry and recoat " times are in the fine print on the side of the cans. Rustoleum paints are very sensitive to this. your video was so good i subscribed . love your enthusiasm and your instructions are very clear
I've learned rushing re-coat times using Rustoleum will ruin a paint job in a heartbeat. I'll bet that the time between the final black and the first clear coat was less than 48 hours, and that is what caused the crackling. Now, I always give extra time, usually an extra day to cure, so as not to screw up the paint.
The first 10 seconds in I liked the video love that hulk tile!
Great job! I truly enjoyed your video. I’m in the market for a laser, as soon as I get it, I will create a Jeep Weather Station for my USAF active duty daughter stationed in Japan. Howdy from Texas!!!
u r blowin my mind dawg
That's a really neat technique. I hope it translates well over to a 100 watt lasercutter. Gonna have to do allot of testing I think XD
Nice video, very informative. Also you seem like a chill dude, I'd have a beer with ya.
23k subscribers? This is a crime. Awesome content and cool tiles. Thanks, mate.
Just bought the ortur master 2, 20w.. Just waiting on delivery, this is exactly how I want to use it, this is absolutely stunning. I've seen some ceramic circles on Ali, my idea is to paint them different colours and to laser cut numbers and a designs into them to make custom. Made poker chips, do you think this would work?
