4 inch colored mirrors- Testing the Sculpfun ICube

[@MarklTucson]

Good overview. Not a bad machine for someone who wants to get started on a budget or just has small projects. Now I need to look for your videos on how you do mirrors - the multi-colors look intriguing.

[@TheClackShack]

Thanks. Yea, not many folks doing multiple colors on them. It is a process.

[@thisgirl4602]

Thank you for the video. I learn sometimes every time.

[@TheClackShack]

Glad to hear. Have fun

Hello I appreciate your videos. Where can I pick up the 4" mirrors? Did you make a file we can purchase for the stand? I bought the 12in frame from your etsy store and love it. Thanks again

[@TheClackShack]

There should be a link in the video description, I ordered them from Amazon

[@meddie79]

Would this be a good machine for doing custom engraving at shows to engrave names onto pre made blanks? With the filter and enclosure this is a nice little self contained unit. Also what power does it us, could this be run off a battery setup?

[@TheClackShack]

It could with the right setup. It could be ran off a battery setup

Based on reflections in the product images, the backing on the mirrors looks white. Is that right? I have some with white backing and it's not working great on material tests for the D1 Pro 20W.

[@TheClackShack]

Yes, the white wavy surface was challenging. I had to up the power and LPI to get a good image. May also wanna back the focus out about 1.5 mm. The 20 watt should be capable of doing it.

[@NIKBass]

Thanks, I'll have to play with the LPI. I'm getting like 95% there, so I'm sure it'll get there. After looking at your links, I have the same ones you listed. Makes me feel better about giving it another go.

I have mirrors with a black surface and with a green surface. The mirrors with the black surface are going oke, not great. But the mirrors with a green surface is a problem. I do not get a smooth result and there are dots left (shinny pieces of the mirrorfoil). I also adjusted the focus and tried all the positions off speed and power. I have a small 3 watt laser, so I am looking for a better and stronger one. Did you give it another go and how did it worked out? I am just looking for tips. Maybe it helps me to choise the right laser engraver. The Icube would be great, because it is small and mobile, but I do not know if 10W is enough. Maybe the D1 pro 20W?

[@TheSaddleSoreRanch]

I am interested in the alignment tools you made for the icube, but I couldn’t find them in your etsy store.

[@TheClackShack]

Yea, I haven't added them yet. I will work on that, I wasn't sure if anyone would like them.

[@TheClackShack]

Hey, you are aware that the main part requires a larger machine to cut it out?

[@TheSaddleSoreRanch]

I am not opposed to buying the kit from you already cut, as opposed to the digital file. If that is an option. Save me the hassle, and I am sure yours would be a much better finished product

[@TheClackShack]

I don't ship physical products. Not enough hours in the day. Here is the file.. theclackshack.etsy.com/listing/1664435568/sculpfun-icube-jig-system-file-read

[@TheSaddleSoreRanch]

Thanks… I bought it. What material should I cut it out of? Sorry, I am brand new to all this. Which is why I watch so many of your videos. LOL. I will be using a Sculpfun S30 Pro Max 20 w…. Any ballpark on settings for the cut? Speed/power? Thanks again.

[@KaylaPerry-i5l]

Do you recommend doing a speed test for a beginner?

[@TheClackShack]

Always

[@marcyvanbeaulieu5109]

Peut-on avoir les plans de tes ajouts pour le Icube? Merci!

$369 seems like a lot for such a small machine. When I saw this I thought, "Oh, good idea for cranking out coasters if it's $99." No such luck,

[@TheClackShack]

No, it still has the controller, power pack and limit switches and module of the larger machines. The smaller size just means less extrusions.

[@AmericanCivilWarFacts]

I picked up a refurbed 10w icube direct from sculpfun for $199. Wanted something small to do custom keychains and whatnot at fairs and such. I tried it out for the first time yesterday (yes, there was some slop in the T tracks I had to adjust out) on a walnut keychain blank (3000mm/m; 30%) and it came out VERY well, as good as my 20w desktop laser.

[@marcyvanbeaulieu5109]

Ainsi que celui pour le suppôt de miroirs?

Please, don’t stop lying!¡!

[@TheClackShack]

Not sure I understand your statement.
