Prost

monochrome designs are my favorite ones.. love the way that zig zag shades look.. font fits well.. you really good for inspiration :D

didn't know thats possible with lasers.. looks really nice..

Hi Wild Willow, I haven't read the comments, someone may have already suggested this, but the cards that you are engraving, are they 201 stainless steel or 304? The 304 has superior corrosion resistance due to its higher nickel content. Maybe this helps.

Very nice, I would like to buy a Spider-Man for my daughter. How much

Stainless steel shouldn't rust under normal conditions, as that's kinda the point, but a lot of Chinese-made stainless barely qualifies for the grade... and if it's not a specific grade (e.g. 304 or 316) then there's a good chance that it's just a random steel alloy with some chromium, and doesn't have any stainless properties.

Awesome.....GREAT information.

We need a video on pressing acrylic patches 👀

Nice!!!! Annnnnnnd, it's a Thunder. 🎉🎉 👏 👏 👏 get it.

Fixtures, not jigs. A fixture holds a part. A jig guides a tool.

@WildWillow could you please consider doing a tutorial on how you made the red white and blue patches please as I can't see those three colours as an option on rowmark. Thanks. Do you recommend the Lasertre K1 please as its not in your list? Thanks

Hi Emily, hope all is well. Which ones are good with the 20w S1 laser and also do they have smaller materials to run materials tests with so you’re not using a good piece of material?? Thanks.

If you dont mind, are you buying the acrylic with adhesive on the back? if so, which one are you using? If not, what adhesive are you using? mahalo!

I have so many problems with acrylic sliding, adhesive squeeze out and the patch shrinking after I cools. Have any tips for that?

@WyldeWillow I have watched a couple of your videos and decided to watch this, your very first one. As a result I subscribed. How ever did you rig up two remote controls for your rigs, are they wired or wireless please, Ill have to look now to see if youve done a how to.

This has to be the sexiest laser video I have ever seen lol.

Are they diode friendly?

No she didn’t!!! ❤

Thanks for the info ,your amazing!

@WyldeWillow Thank you for a very informative video. What thickness of acrylic do you use for your hat patches please ?

I will say automotive clearcoat will stop the rust from happening on metals.

Ive seen its super hard to duplicate the colors. Seems like the next day the same settings may produce colors that are just ever so slightly different. So if it matters, do all the components that need to match at the same time. Did you by chance contaminate the Stainless? Using some steel wool or wire brushes or anything with embedded steel in it can contaminate it. It may just be poor quality metal as well (most likely). Ive lasered a bunch of stainless tags and Im looking at one from a year ago and its got no rust or anything like that. Ive got a lot of these stainless tags, I can send you some if you want to try with them. Also, stainless tags heat up and warp pretty easy, even if pretty thick. The ones im using are like 0.1" (3/32) or more.

Stainless steel has a protective oxide layer which was removed during laser engraving. Restore it through a process called passivation. Consider using citric acid passivation to reestablish the oxide layer.

Isn’t that stainless steel? Also, try just spraying a small layer of a polyurethane over it. Now, I act like I know what I’m talking about…. I have yet to do color on mine. The other thing to consider (or so I’m told) - is that it depends on the type of stainless steel (colors allegedly will change). Also, you probably have one and I missed it, but get a vacuum system set up for that.

Looks great, the rusting is interesting… Would also want to learn from that….

First. 🤎

vevor heat press creases my hats and pain to work with

Super Awesome! Love the material sample ring!

Hey there! I’m starting a home engraving business and have been watching your videos (as well as a handful of other channels) for nuggets of information. I was wondering; is it necessary to have a graphics designer app such as Adobe Illustrator and Affinity or do you do a lot of your work out of Lightburn? It seems to do everything that those other apps can do. TIA!!

Absolutely the best video on laser work Sive seen in a long time. Your very impressive in your knowledge of laser engraving.

omg thank you. was at a stand still ,till just now!

Just subscribed. Love your content so far 😀 Do you use an external air compressor to cut 12mm.

Could you show a sample to your test cards from your CO2 laser or are they pretty much the same?

Do you use your thunder for the hat patches?

Great job on this video. You are a very natural presenter. I rarely subscribe or even take the time to "like" any KZbin videos, much less leave a comment but you certainly made an impression. Keep up the good work. I'll be watching and learning from your other videos.

Hola para la primera ya venden el bottom heat pads en patchCrafters y trabajo muy bien ya me susbcribi a tu canal gracias

which HD model is it in the back?

Subscribed.

Nice Job!

AMAZING WORK!!! I have 2 questions. You talked a little about the Laser Tree 20/40/60w. I’m looking to upgrade and that one is on my list. I have not seen any honest reviews (pro & cons) and in action comparing work quality to a CO2. Have you done a review yet? 2nd question is, Have you used this diode laser to make any of your patches? Keep up the excellent work & videos!!! Thank you!

Que pasa! Hopefully learn something’s from you so to use on my Ultra M1

I think the be it will be good for neck labels

I've been learning so much from you and I just found your channel a couple days ago. Thanks for all the tips, I work full time shift work so it's hard for me to dedicate myself to my laser business. Thank you again

Thank you for all the great information and tutorials. Also wanted to thank you and your husband for the information last week about the Thunder Laser. I got a hold of the person you referred me and got myself one. Now will be watching your videos and learning more. Thanks again to you guys and Happy Holidays. Respectfully, Walter (AZ)

Hey, sorry if I missed this in your video but do you increase the temp on the lower platen since you added a cloth?

Has a patch ever fallen off after being heat pressed on? Ive always just sowed them on by hand...

You're so organized! Great tips!

This was super helpful!! I had a lot of "duh, why haven't we thought of that?!" lol So thanks for putting this list together. Purchased one of your files on Etsy and made for our shop. Even included it in our video this week!

Id like a fusion Iq but the price puts me off.

how....the colors? what did you do to create the patch?
