OMG, I went to Camp Orkila in 6th grade. Great camp., thanks for showing them some love.

[@SixEightWoodworks]

So cool!

[@One29Homestead]

Great video and thanks for sharing. What if you worked with a local pottery and engraved the mugs before glazing? Keep in mind, I don't know squat about pottery.

[@michaelmanahan4723]

Every video I watch I want one more.

[@SixEightWoodworks]

It’s pretty amazing!

[@jackjfb8439]

Great video! I would hope that Xtool could have all promised features ready to go for the 4k price tag. So far, the Ultra seems to be coming up short on batching, conveyor, curved surface, camera, etc. I'm confident that these issues will be corrected over time via software, but again, 4k for beta?

[@elizabethcarrasco4605]

Would this work on concrete all vessels as well?

[@briancarter8922]

I noticed that you did not change the frequency in the IR set up (was set to 30). I believe this can go up to 60. This may help with the ceramics.

[@SJWoodworks]

Maybe 3d print bigger chuck jaws, or an insert for that planter specifically so it can go on the chuck? The rollers just aren't repeatable, but the chuck does okay.

[@SixEightWoodworks]

Great idea

[@richellefiscus9309]

If you used the rotary with the mug, it should get the end of the mug better

[@SixEightWoodworks]

For sure. I got great results with the rotary.

[@richellefiscus9309]

You said curved engraving will be coming soon to the f1 ultra. Will that be a software update if purchased before or will you have to buy a new part or an entire updated machine? And I love my creative fabrica!

[@SixEightWoodworks]

Just a software update! Easy fix. They’ve posted some more updates recently and I think the software update is really close.

[@charlesreicks648]

Does the white area stain? I could the raw areas would absorb like coffee, or dirty fingers. Thanks Tim

[@SixEightWoodworks]

I suppose it might. Though I’ve been using a similar style mug for a few months without staining from coffee, fingers, etc.

[@TheExtremeElementz]

Do you need to coat the bare ceramic after you’re done?

[@AlivePixelCreates]

you definitely need to coat it because will build mold over time

[@CampfireWoodworksRVA]

Q: Are ceramics exclusive to a fiber laser or can you use a CO2 /Diode for them as well? Maybe a new video idea- using your 4 Lasers showing project materials that can be made on all 4 down to exclusive to “x” type machine. 🤷‍♂️ Thanks for the SVG affiliate link. Always looking for new files for my OneFinity - you’re crushing it. Keep going!

[@SixEightWoodworks]

I’m not sure. There’s so many variations with settings. I had only seen styles like this done with a fiber and got these great results. Love the video idea!

[@medic2690]

Nick, I’m a huge fan, I watch all your videos. I have ran into the slippage issue on double runs on tumblers a couple of months ago. Thought I would post this to help you and others, I looked online everywhere for a solution, and so I just came up with this myself and it works with Build Dad Build adapter(my other favorite Nick😂). Thank you!! kzbin.infochY1q97uGtI?si=GI1POWBTFU2ys7o_
