Engrave YETI Dog Bowls with a Fiber Laser! NO MARKS

[@JohnSmith-xj7gq]

As someone just starting out and struggling with ezcad something awful, I am extremely thankful to have found you. I am thoroughly surprised there are not more people like you. Thank you for sharing and making the community a better place.

[@LaserEverything]

You are so welcome! Glad it's helping you!

[@Javi-vs6kt]

I used these settings on my 50W laser and it came out pretty good. The only difference is while engraving, the powder coat flamed up a lot and there was quite a bit of smoke. Never had that happened when just powering through the powder coat and engraving the steel beneath.

nice video sir please maka a video on fibra laser photo engraving on stainless steel and brass and copper

[@LaserEverything]

Thanks Anand, we have stainless and brass videos in the library, copper is coming soon.

Hi Alex, I’m surprised you didn’t buy a rotary with extended jaws. That will allow you to do a dog bowl. Both Pyburn Ann Rotte, boss make rotaries capable of doing those yeti dog bowls. Then you don’t have to worry about crazy calculations.

[@LaserEverything]

Hey! This was recorded and shared a long time ago, prior to us having some of those options available. These days, we do have models from both of those brands and more on hand in our available tools, but still think it’s important to both be able to handle stuff like this without (for reasons like speed and setup) but because there are simply objects we as engravers may not have the ability to stick in a rotary, and the fundamentals covered here are just good to have in your back pocket for those situations too.

Great video Alex! I can't wait to get off my duff and sign up for the new members site!!!

[@LaserEverything]

No rush, people have 3 months to switch so lots of time. Glad you liked the video!

[@meysamebrahimi7368]

Hey Alex. Do u have any video for making die?

[@meysamebrahimi7368]

With fiber laser of course

[@LaserEverything]

@@meysamebrahimi7368 Like dice die?

[@meysamebrahimi7368]

Like engraved mold with 3mm depth max.

[@openhostwebservices6086]

Great tutorial. I noticed your workflow for spacing objects evenly is a little lengthy. The distributed alignment tools will save you grouping time. I know its seconds but still. To align with distributed alignment tools you place the top and bottom objects in the proper locations for spacing and then select all to be aligned and select the desired alignment. In this case horizontal center alignment is what you want. does exactly what you did without grouping but just by selecting all the objects. those alignments are just to the right of the normal alignment tool buttons.

[@LaserEverything]

Great tip, thanks! I'll have to give that a try!

[@mehi99]

You should also mention your laser rated power if not the 60% 70% 80% of power means nothing

[@LaserEverything]

This video was filmed with a 30w JPT Mactron laser.

[@patriotu.s.elections7879]

So very awesome Sir. Thank You

[@LaserEverything]

Most welcome!

[@jbouza09]

Brilliant and very cool.

[@LaserEverything]

Glad you liked it!

[@personalizacionesymas2068]

how about with a different colors yetis. like pick on white. they are harder to engrave. how do you do those?

[@Julian-kg9bl]

How about a white Color Powder Coating Tumbler / Dog Bowl … I struggle a lot with bright colors like white or Yellow.

[@LaserEverything]

This video may have some useful tips for you, they're red - not white - but some would argue red are harder and the same techniques apply: kzbin.info/www/bejne/o6e1dIKLhZWjhas

[@davetpilot]

So glad I found this channel! What power laser are you using? I currently only have a 20 watt with max frequency of 80. Do you know how your settings would translate?

[@LaserEverything]

if anything it will be easier with a 20w, the trick is to put down enough power to remove the coating but not so much that it marks the metal. Try the same settings in the video and max your khz out at 80, from there increase power as needed. Don't forget to defocus! A large dot size (you get when defocusing) keeps the power spread out so it isn't all focused in one spot, lowering the chance that you will actually mark the metal.

[@PetAlley]

What was the apecific laser engraver uaed for the dog bowl?

[@MANXEONPRINTDISPLAY]

What u use to clean the dirt?

How do you engrave an oval bangle

[@LaserEverything]

I'll try to cover this in a future video

[@bdc1960]

Rather than a role of tape, or chuck style rotory too, couldn't you use a roller type rotory tool? I've never seen someone use a roller style rotory on a fiber laser. Is there a reason for that?

[@LaserEverything]

They simply aren't marketed towards owners of galvo lasers. We'll be covering this topic on the channel soon though we have some great roller rotaries I'm excited to check out and show off on the channel.

[@mauricesebag3940]

Very interesting video . How can engrave a oval bangle

[@LaserEverything]

I'll try to cover this in a future video

[@icmpeko]

Nice! What's the max width that your fiber laser can engrave? Can this be expanded with different lenses? 🤔

[@LaserEverything]

All comes down to the lens. Lenses are cheap and easy to purchase. As long as you have enough power you can go anywhere from 2 inches all the way up to 12 or 15 inches.

[@mikearts6836]

How much would you charge to do a few bowls? maybe 4?

[@maggiejacobson3735]

Do you have a way to do this on lightburn like power and speed settings?

[@LaserEverything]

Should be about 1:1 on settings as long as you're using the same wattage laser and same lens.

[@eddiesironworx6831]

Alex, how are you getting 150 Frequency on a 30 watt? I have a Boss 30 watt and when I put in 150 it comes back with only capable of 80?

[@LaserEverything]

Your Boss 30w likely has a Raycus laser source, I have a JPT source with a khz range of 1-400

[@wadepreston3421]

Hey mate! Awesome videos. Just wondering when lense you use for this and how many watts is your machine? Thanks in advance!

[@LaserEverything]

Off memory I believe this was done with a 30w laser and a 110 lens.

[@wadepreston3421]

@@LaserEverything thanks mate I have since subscribed to your forum! And it's amazing!! The conversion calculator is amazing....

[@wadepreston3421]

Also what do you use to clean it up? That doesn't have any affect on the coating but cleans up the stainless?

[@Sketchplaza]

Are fiber lasers really that fast? I noticed you put 5x as you were doing those final passes. Were those other realtime passes? I have been using a diode for everything and it takes forever to to even do simple things. Been looking at the 20w fibers available, but haven't bit the bullet and made a purchase yet.

[@LaserEverything]

Yes, any footage of the laser running in this episode without a speed modifier label is absolutely real time. :) It's immensely faster than using something like a diode laser.

[@Sketchplaza]

@@LaserEverything Awesome. Thank you for your response. Thinking of that speed is crazy to me .

[@primeimpressoes5825]

Hi, How many Watts of power does your laser machine have?

[@LaserEverything]

This was done with a 30w JPT fiber laser

[@TheGnthreman]

How does that work on powder coat aluminum?

[@LaserEverything]

Should work very similarly!

[@shadowliving6858]

WOOF!

[@LaserEverything]

MEOW!

[@johnshipps441]

Maybe this is a stupid question, but why would you do this on a fiber instead of a CO2?

[@LaserEverything]

No stupid questions, some people just don't have a CO2. A lot of people start with fiber, only have space for a fiber and require a machine with a super small foot print etc. CO2 is certainly the more appropriate wavelength for this work but we like providing people with circumstantial options. ✨

[@johnshipps441]

@@LaserEverything Thanks so much for the explanation! Makes sense now.

[@hexus16]

60mm? How did you do it? For 200mm lens 30mm max and for 100mm about 15mm. But i work only in focus.

[@LaserEverything]

Defocusing was the trick here. Big dog size removes the powder coat without marking the metal.

[@hexus16]

@@LaserEverything Oh, i see. What a pity I can't check with my Raycus 30q.

[@DailyDoseOfShortClips]

Hey, great video. Would this also work on a co2 laser?

[@LaserEverything]

This is only difficult on the fiber, on the CO2 this would be a breeze! You can throw as much power as you want at this with the CO2 and it's not going to mark the metal so you can get away with a lot more of the curve before you start running into issues!

[@DailyDoseOfShortClips]

@@LaserEverything ok thought so, Thankyou!!

[@LaserEverything]

Yep!

Hey nice idea was hoping if it's possible to Run ezcad on Linux as I run ND operate Ubuntu rather than windows os

Not unless you're running Windows in a VM, no. Unfortunately it's not.
