Cranking them out man! Awesome! That is indeed a slick setup!
Thanks man... When it rains it pours.
Love my Roly with similar rotary setup but utilizes Lightburn which I use for most of my artwork.
The Wecreat software makes it easy... but I still prefer lightburn overall
The Video was great Thanks for sharing..
Thanks for. watching
@GeekBuilders Thanks for this video.... Do you coat the design with anything after engraving?
No coating is needed, or recommended. Thanks for watching
So, I’ve got questions. What’s the maximum diameter for the material in the rotary fixture (swing)?
You skipped placing the tail stock side of the rotary. How do you make sure the tumbler is square with the laser head?
I do woodturning and would like one of these to embellish my pieces. How accurate is the rotary with matching a pattern that goes around the whole circumference. If you do a geometric pattern in a ring all the way around the tumbler, could you get it to match up?
Thanks for any advice. Great video.
Maximum diameter is approximately 6 inches. As far as the tail stock, it is not required. It is quite different than turning on the lathe. The rotary turns fairly slow and there is not real physical contact with the tumbler or whatever you are engraving. The tailstock support is only used if the main chuck jaws cannot grip and hold the side sufficiently.
And for a full wrap design, yes you can get it to match up, but some testing and planning ahead is required.
I have a Glowforge but looking at something that can do tumblers. How long did it take to do a full wrap around design?
Depending on the design, 30-40 minutes
what settings you used on the astronaut tumbler?
I don’t remember exactly, but it was probably 70% power and 200mm/s
like to get one, but has customer service improved and the program
Customer service is improving and the software is constantly getting updated. They are a new company, so they are still working through some growing pains.
I wanna test one
I wish there was a way people could more easily test out these machines.
I hear ya I've been trying an its a win win cause they get advertising out of ppl like myself an others willing to try an test out products live on my channel
I really like the machine a lot. Looking forward to getting back to it once my ankle heels.
I have not hooked up the rotary and I think it will be great. Only thing is it does not seem to have a way to do tapered tumblers.
The Xtool rotary can be tilted and I have done that. The LaserPecker rotary has a tilting head.
What are your thoughts on this and any options for doing the tapered tumblers. I know a little taper might not be a problem.
I don't have a solution for the tapered tumbler yet. I'm hoping they release a first party fix for the issue. I need to spend more time experimenting with the machine.
Not a deal breaker but I have been working on an attachment in my CAD program. Maybe not be worth the work but I enjoy making something work.
Sounds awesome@@ThePapa1947
Which model are you using? Went to the site looking at pricing or are those add ons?
Click on the link in the description, scroll down and choose “rotary pack”
Can you engrave on a plain stainless tumbler or does it need a coating? I have a ton of plain stainless tumblers and would love to be able to use them. At least for learning.
You can engrave on stainless steel, but the process is extremely slow and it is difficult to get consistent colors and/or engraving quality at times and it's not the best indicator of how a typical coated tumbler engraving will look. I usually use the same one or 2 tumblers to test on and just respray paint them when I need to run a new test.
