In the handmade mug I kinda like the tapered off effect due to the handmade quality of the item.

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

[@SixEightWoodworks]

So cool!

The most recent update to the XCS software (V2.1.2) for the xTool F1 Ultra now has the curved material function. Will you be doing a video on how to us it?

[@denneyfifield6291]

With the rollers, I will use elastic bands around the item to keep the item from moving around.

[@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.

I have been using P100S150LPC300 on my F1 Ultra with 1 pass only. The results are great. For few mugs I had to do a cleanup pass to lighten the color by changing the speed to 300. Chuck method all the time to secure that precious focus.

[@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?

[@ShanFazzi]

Is there a Reference Sheet or other resource that could give a general sense of how long embossing with the F1 Ultra for different materials would be about? I know this is a big question but I'm looking into viability for a project and any reference or other materials discussing embossing times for materials would be very helpful.

[@harryhanson6660]

What was your method for lining up your engraving with the handle when using the rotary attachment?

[@brucemccoy135]

Enjoy your videos. Have you tried Veronica mugs with your F1?

[@connieshearing2303]

Do you seal the ceramic after the engraving? Are they microwave safe after?

[@canadianrealinfovlogs3372]

Very useful video Thanks Where to buy ceramic mugs for engraving?

[@elizabethcarrasco4605]

Would this work on concrete all vessels as well?

[@PrewittHomestead]

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.

[@elainerathbun6318]

Have you tried engraving on mable? A friend wants initials engraved on wine chillers. =/

[@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

[@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.

[@adinamm]

Have you tried engraving terra cotta with the f1 ultra?

[@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

[@FoothillsAdventures]

They really need to release the 3d mapping for this. I have accidentally messed a few Mugs by making them too large. I guess ill have to use the chuck for now.

[@michaelmanahan4723]

Every video I watch I want one more.

[@SixEightWoodworks]

It’s pretty amazing!

[@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.

[@buthainasaleh2490]

can we do this work with xtool f1 ?

[@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_
