Co2 Laser Engraving On Metal with a Thunder Nova 35

[@whycyber]

Sr. I must say, you are one of the few that goes directly to the point and give detailed (and standard) settings based on your machine, so that give us an idea what settings will work on our machine. Most others, ... you know, may even talk about the cat they saw when buying the tools, just to extend the video. Thanks. Best regards, A new follower.

KZbin like longer videos...but I try to keep them free of nonsense! :)

[@beckymc03]

You are my go-to for laser videos. You are very clear and concise- and to the point. This makes you #1!! Thank you.

[@larryallen506]

Great video. Concise and to the point. You must be a member if the KISS principle club. 🙂

[@malonecustomdesigns]

lol....I don't have an official card...but yeah I have decided that simple and quick videos is the way to go!! :)

[@composit1]

Awesome video, thank you for not dragging the video out and for sharing your settings. It is appreciated

[@malonecustomdesigns]

That is kinda my goal moving forward. Be as to the point as I can and share as many settings as I can! There will be some videos that require more in dept stuff, but for the most part, we like to keep it short! Thanks for your input!

[@agilesquare]

This is a great video and just what I was looking for! I just bought a CO2 laser and I am interested in projects like this. Thank you for the head start!

[@malonecustomdesigns]

You're welcome.

I tried cold galvanized spray on bare metal. It worked well. I need to play around more with my settings as I’d like it a bit darker but it’s only 10 dollars a can vs the expensive stuff.

[@malonecustomdesigns]

Very cool! Yeah, that would be much cheaper for sure!!

[@WawakGuitar]

Awesome stuff. I need to stop in and check your stuff out in person.

[@malonecustomdesigns]

Please do! I'd love to visit with you and show you what we do!

[@d79977]

Can it been done on copper plates

[@RealDustyChandler]

Do you recommend any type of oil for the exposed metal?

[@malonecustomdesigns]

Depending on the product, you could add some 3 in 1 oil if you were worried about it...but to be honest...all of the products that we have done have never rusted. At least not for any of the stuff that we have made for ourselves or displays.

[@RealDustyChandler]

@@malonecustomdesigns Thank you for all your videos and help, Mr. Malone!!

[@malonecustomdesigns]

@@RealDustyChandler My pleasure!!!

I have a 55w co2 laser and can’t get this to work on brass jewelry blanks for necklaces. Ive got the spray but don’t know which way to go with the settings. Any suggestions?

[@malonecustomdesigns]

I haven't tried brass on the CO2....I have heard it can be tricky. This guy was able to do it. kzbin.info/www/bejne/sJTXknuOeZWahs0

[@freebird1963]

So how are the low level diodes colorizing stainless steel with no marking sprays ?

[@malonecustomdesigns]

Diode lasers are a different wavelength which allows that. I don't have any experience using one of those.

[@freebird1963]

@@malonecustomdesigns I tried with my C02 Polar 350. I can get black and some yellow. Its on SS 316 1/8 thick 2 inch round circles. Black tho is kinda brown looking. I'll play more. My Ortur LM2 which I can' recall what watt it is. I think 15 but not sure I couldn't get it to mark at all.

[@ariellamissick4205]

thank you sooo very much!!

[@malonecustomdesigns]

You are very welcome!

[@ChronicHypocrite]

I always imagine he's my dad and over explaining to me how to do something.

[@malonecustomdesigns]

Lol 😂. That’s me!

[@giddensre]

Crystal clear explanation.👍🏼. Do you know if this will work on a brass shell casing?

[@malonecustomdesigns]

I have seen people use marking spray on shell casings from a military funeral service. They looked really cool. I have never tried them.
