The Secret to Etching Pint Glasses with a Diode Laser

[@Jellede]

1:04 is it food safe after lasering? I want to engrave flat melted wine bottles to use as chees plate

[@BuildDadBuild]

yes

[@aztatude]

What's the process for cleaning off the paint after you're done printing. I'm assuming just use the paint thinner.

[@BuildDadBuild]

Yup.

[@TimberWood.Customs]

Mine slides when it’s at an angle… any idea how to prevent that? I’m using the ortur rotary

[@BuildDadBuild]

weight the glass.

[@TimberWood.Customs]

@@BuildDadBuild I’ll try that.

[@DaileyMagic]

Idk what I would do without you! Your videos are everything!

[@BuildDadBuild]

Wow, thank you!

[@liquidforce-ml5lf]

I'm genuinely asking this... at 12mm/second, how long did it take to etch that image? I'm currently following your steps for a 3"x3" logo on a beer mug, and it's saying it's gonna take almost 8 hours! Is that about right?

[@BuildDadBuild]

Sounds close. Depends on how detailed the image is.

[@liquidforce-ml5lf]

@BuildDadBuild appreciate the reply. I realized about halfway thru my etching that you said 12mm per SECOND... and I was an idiot and set it to 12mm per MINUTE 😅 at least this was just a test piece! Appreciate your videos, brother!

[@JesusGonzalez-ou1sv]

how long did take to laser the duff glass ?

[@BuildDadBuild]

Bout 30 minutes.

[@TimberWood.Customs]

I am having a lot of trouble. I do the line test to get the rotations per mm. Then I do and engrave a logo and it is very skewed. So then I go do the line test again, and then get that set to where the two ends meet again, then go back and engrave the logo, well its still skewed. I have the cup flat even though it is slanted. And then when I get any type of engraving, the glass from the engraved part chips. So i try new settings, and nothing seems to work.

[@BuildDadBuild]

Try weighting the cup so it doesn't slip while engraving.

[@TimberWood.Customs]

@@BuildDadBuild it doesn’t slip

[@BuildDadBuild]

Then your belts are loose or the laser head isn't seated properly.

what kind of spray do you use on the glass before you engrave it? what other options do u have instead of spray?

[@BuildDadBuild]

Cold Galvenizing compound

[@GLHF_Dunnskies]

Alright I'm etching some glass for my brother in law and I found that I have like flaking. So I scrape the coat of etching off and get an alright image but I lose all detail. I guess my ? Is am I supposed to scrape off the etched part?

[@BuildDadBuild]

That flaking means you’re putting too much product on the glass. Just enough to coat it.

[@andrewel5383]

I had a question, I’ve done some glass engraving, I’ve noticed when I use Black colored rust oleum paint my colors are different vs when I use white colored paint, would grey be a good idea? What color paint would you recommend as a mask?

[@BuildDadBuild]

This is the only thing I've used to date. But I'd give grey a shot! Cheers

[@mannyshulman5928]

I found that using the Cold Galvanizing compound paint from Lowes at 60mm/sec and 95% power left an incredible smooth black etch in the glass, at much slower speed it frosted the glass. I think it left a better image in black than the more expensive charcoal glass spray from Enduramark. It worked on tile the same way at 90mm/sec at 90% power. This is on the 10w version of the D1.

[@BuildDadBuild]

Good to know!

[@apatheticjester]

I tried 60mm/sec 95% power with galvanizing compound and it looked really good until I washed off the burnt paint and it left a very faint etching, too fast to really effect the glass. Using xtool d1 pro 10 watt. I think I’m going to try the black tempera technique tommorow.

Thanks for the video Nick. First of yours I've watched. You seem to have played / worked with the cylinder engraving tool more than most so I'll ask you.

I’m not sure if you have any tips on getting a darker etch or not but I would really appreciate it.

A little more CGC might do it. Sometimes designs need to be inverted in order for them to show up better. Also slowing the laser or increasing DPI might help. Cheers

Nick.. I've been experimenting with different mediums for etching glass (Dry Moly, Zinc/Galvanizing, Tempera, Tape, etc...), and have found that most mediums are "about" equal. Side note, at least with the galvanizing I am using, I run a second pass to burn off excess material left behind on first pass.... but, I digress.. The point of my post, and I do have one, is to ask you a question: have you tried using "Rub'n Buff" (get yer mind outta the gutter!) on the etched part of the glass? I have watched several videos of the folks who do chemical etching of glass follow-up with Rub'n Buff to bring color to their glass etchings (gold leaf, copper, ebony, etc...). I am going to experiment on some of my existing test pieces this weekend, but wondered if you had already seen this product. If you see this and are interested in my results... let me know and I'll be happy to share.

hello, enjoy your video's. Wanted to pass along a tip. You should try tempura paint instead of the galvanizing spray. I have gotten the same results with tempura paint as the with the spray. Pros: tempura easier to clean up and non toxic, also way cheaper. Cons: takes a bit for a thick coat of tempura to dry, so I use heat gun to flash dry it.
