EASIEST WAY TO SET UP A CO2 LASER ROTARY! ITS FOOL PROOF!

[@7005r]

This video saved me a ton of time. Settings were not perfect but close enough to give me a good head start. Thank you.

How's the Monport been working? I'm looking at a 100 watt but I'm nervous as all hell to pull the trigger but I really like that it has a built in chiller.

[@michaelenglund]

Hi, Thanks for the vid. Unfortunately I can't hear nor see the settings you did for the Y accelaration box.

[@mrsdizi1234]

I have an xtool d1 pro rotary will that work with this machine?

[@timbertony7442]

Hi ,Thank you for your video, it is very helpfull. I Want to start engraving tumblers ,I have a 100 watt senfeng laser ,with the same rotary device.but I'am not sure what the focus height should be.?

[@debbiethornton3218]

I didn’t hear what you said to set the Y acceleration

[@mrsdizi1234]

I know you are doing the rotary but I just noticed as on mine and yours there is nothing that catches all the debris falling through the honeycomb? When cutting does it not harm all the stuff underneath? I was just wondering cuz my diode laser had a metal plate under the honeycomb. So I wasn't sure if this need it. Mine is like yours Thank you

[@MickeyintheMiddle]

Outstanding...thank you

[@debbiethornton3218]

What if your tumbler has a handle

[@ryansmith5115]

How do we ensure the rotary and laser head are completely perpendicular? You just look to have eyeballed it and said yep that'll do

[@fredbrandenburg6700]

Hello awesome video, we keep getting a frame oversized error any help greatly appreciated thanks much

[@customgrains]

you're too close to the y rail. Move the rotary closer to the middle of your workbed:)

[@jigsawinventions]

I follow the same setup for my Omtech polar. Issue I am having is the framing is off. I did my step calibration, I selected current position to middle like you did, slowed down the speed. When I frame the work, it is not aligned where I want it to be. Any ideas?

[@timetempest]

im also having issues with framing being way off and the roller rolls forever before doing anything. its so strange.

[@Messic0]

Are you changing steps per rotation on different containers?

[@customgrains]

Negative:)

[@tinarichardson8085]

Great video. I have the same laser you have and have been looking for an affordable rotary. I want the piburn but very expensive. But I want to engrave handle tumblers. How’s your rotary working? I’ve read some having motor problems? I’m looking for a chuck style.

[@tinarichardson8085]

Can you do a handled cup on the roller style? It looks like it will accommodate longer items than the chuck. What made you choose this over the Omtech model?

[@thomasbohm8753]

Do you stretch the image 10% to give it a more round look on the tumbler?

[@customgrains]

I do not!:) I keep it as is!:)

[@bzharris82742z]

How did you configure your cutting order to minimize y axis moves?

[@customgrains]

When you enable the rotary it disables the y axis and essentially make the rotary wheels the new Y axis. If that makes sense

[@bzharris82742z]

Yep, got that. Your cut moves from the left of the image to the right. My image is an "O" with design/text inside of it. Lightburn wants to trace my "O" then fill in details inside and doing that the cup shifts slightly skewing the image.

[@customgrains]

@@bzharris82742z do you have “optimize cut” or “flood fill” on?

[@bzharris82742z]

@@customgrains running 1.2.02 Most of the design is lines, so fill options are not enabled I am using optimize cut path on laser menu settings

[@bzharris82742z]

@@customgrains I am using a vector file. I am pretty sure that is the issue now that you made me think it through.

[@josegarza6083]

Good Video!

[@TheUnofficialMaker]

2:56 unloosen it, lol

[@yoy0whatup]

good morning @customgrains I am following all the steps as described, but when I hit start and the machine starts engraving, the design is engraving with the height of the design compressed. Ex: my design is W: 3" x H: 6.25" rotated 90 degrees (just like you have it on lightburn). The preview looks fine/normal. But, once it starts engraving, the design is engraving with the Height much smaller than the indicated 6.25", the image is coming out "squished", without any size changes being made on lightburn. any thoughts? @customgrains
