Then it takes forever to dry. I personally use a plug in paint spray gun. That way i dont have to thin anything out. Then i just use a heat gun at 800 F. Super fast dry time.

I tried that. The paint is really thick and a lot drips off while drying, so it wastes a lot more paint. I use a paint spray gun. Then a heat gun after.
Paints from different manufacturers are different consistencies. I had just a little water and check it to see if it’s a uniform coverage without being too thick. Not an exact Science to say the least.
I think for these I usually use 80% power, 70 mm.sec speed and 150 lines per inch spacing. I always recommend using a sample piece to get your settings dialed in.
Yes, I have the 10 w and it works just fine. I also use black tempera paint but I dilute it with water a bit (took a couple of tries to find the right consistency) and dip the cup into it and let it drip dry. Leaves a really smooth finish. I found painting it on left slight texture that I could see in the engraving. Also...you only need to paint the surface you are engraving. If you are engraving one side, only one side needs to be painted. Final thing. If any paint gets inside of the cup you will want to wipe that out before it gets lasered as it being in the inside will cause it to also etch the inside of the glass. It's great because you can just rinse it off with water!
@@ShyneflowLC hard to say exactly because I've never measured. I take the paint and pour like a tablespoon at a time and mix well with maybe a tablespoon of water. It should still be opaque when you dip the cup or whatever into it I just dip one side flat down and flip it upside down on a bottle to drip down (over a paper plate or something. When it dries it is a really smooth finish. It should drip off some but mostly stick to the cup. I'm sure the brand of tempura paint matters too. It shouldn't be lumpy, it should all be mixed well. I just put the surface flat down and rotate it until I get the side I want to engrave coated. You can blowdry it if you need it to dry more quickly. This works well for large batches because you can make enough to dip a bunch of them...and a little goes a long way
@@arewood2628 I appreciate that pal!! This will definitely help me out when I start messing with glass. I have heard green frog tape works too but haven't tried
I know shorts are shorts, but where is the result we came here for? 🤔
So they can get more comments of course.
Just have to look through the feed.
same. looked thru feed and found zilch
@@texsurfer For the Xtool D1 Pro 20 watt module I used 80% power, 70 mm/sec, speed and 150 lines per inch.

awesome proccess and fast application, what paint brand do you use exactly?
Clever, I feel stupid since I until now have been using a brush.
I did that for a while myself. The key is to get the consistency that works best for you with the roller.
And... doesn't make sense if you don't show results
Do you love this laser? It’s the one I’m about to buy! Eeekkkk I can’t wait! 😝

How the hell do you get it on the glass without smearing like that??!
I thin it down with a little bit of water and I think that helps.
Thin it with water and use an airbrush for a very even coat.

@@zero00044 I just set it on the 3d printer bed and warm it up. Dry in no time.
@@amadensor what 3d printer? This is about laser engraving. Completely different machine.
@@zero00044 I use the heated bed to dry the paint before I use the laser

Good one.
what are your power settings for engraving glass?
Why not just dip the entire cup? Seems like it would save a shit load of time and rollers. 🤷♀️
I tried that. The paint is really thick and a lot drips off while drying, so it wastes a lot more paint. I use a paint spray gun. Then a heat gun after.
Wow super interesting……
what water/paint ratio do you mix at?
Paints from different manufacturers are different consistencies. I had just a little water and check it to see if it’s a uniform coverage without being too thick. Not an exact Science to say the least.
That's not a laser, that's a paint roller.
👍👍👏👏
is this just normal tempera colors? or must have special color?
I’ve only tried black.

Can you tell me your laser setting please

@@stevemoseley9877 thanks
@@Villywoodworking You bet!
I like this method! I usually water down the paint and put it in a spray bottle but I think I like your method better!
is this also applicable for stainless material?
I don't think that will work.
Sounds like you need an air assist
What colour are you using?
Black. It's in the title. :)
Very dramatic.
Always. 😂. Painting glass is supposed to be that way, right?
Can 10 watt do it?
I'm really not sure. I would expect it is possible but you might need to run it at a slower speed.
