Engraving on a Tumbler with the xTool F1

[@redstickgaming3214]

Tip 1: there are 3 lines on the baseplate made to line up the RA2 attachment. Depends on where your roller is spaced to, ie: Front most line on 3 or C, second on 2 or B, furthest back 1 or A. (unlike in this video, my rotary attachment has ABC instead of 123) Tip 2: The removable baseplate is actually meant to be removed and place under where the motor is for support. Wonderful tutorial and perfect settings Marilyn, and happy crafting everyone!

Hi Marilyn, You did a great job. I really appreciate that you did a complete tutorial from design to finished product 5 thumbs up!!!!!

Thank you so much!

We are so lucky you are giving us all the inside scoops Marilyn 🎉❤🎉

[@MakingwithMarilyn]

Awwwww, Heather, you are too kind! Thank you!

[@cobaltltblue]

My program doesn’t show the same settings as yours. The video is helpful I’m sure but I can’t figure out how to make my screen look like yours 🤷🏼‍♀️

[@sylvanyeroh7251]

Oh! My Goodness Marilyn, I'm so very happy seeing you demonstrating with the original rotary. I have both but the RA2 intimidates me just looking at it and all its parts. Thank You! Thank You! Ms "Sam" in TN😊

[@MakingwithMarilyn]

I don't have the RA2 but it does look intense:) We just drove through Tennessee last night and today. Very pretty state!

[@becomingdryork2919]

Great tips, thanks for sharing!! That shadow effect looks great! I made my 1st acrylic keychain!

[@MakingwithMarilyn]

Yay!!! Getting started is the hardest part:)

[@josephKEOarthur]

so for the YETI. dark color. what is the final setting? (since your fooling around with it at first)

[@MakingwithMarilyn]

I haven't tried a Yeti, but for this powder coated tumbler, I started with the blue light laser and did 100% power with a speed of 400. Then I used the infrared light and did 50% power with a speed of 400.

@@MakingwithMarilyn you're welcome! Do you have any videos engraving glass on the F1?

[@allainat666]

I cannot wait to see what you have to bring us next…

[@dupescraftingdesign7872]

where is the best place to get the cups? is there a way to do more coverage on the tumbler, similar to a full coverage?

[@MakingwithMarilyn]

I just buy mine off of Amazon. And, yes, you can do a lot more coverage.

[@P1stola86]

Hey, great video. Did you have any success on the 1 pass testing?

[@OwenNodland]

can anyone help me, under my engraving settings I have dot duration, power, and DPI. I am trying to look everywhere to find out how to change it from that to just power and speed. thank you

[@MakingwithMarilyn]

I'm sorry I missed this comment. Are you using an SVG or other type of file?

[@ve3lks997]

Total noob here so please excuse me if this is a silly question. I just received my F1 today and the rotary should be arriving tomorrow. In your video you focused the laser before moving the dot to the top of the tumbler. Is that ok to do since it is probably only a cm or so difference in distance between the tumbler and the laser or should it be done once the light is at the top of the tumbler?

[@MakingwithMarilyn]

It probably would have been more technically correct to refocus once I got it to the top. I was so excited to jump in and try this:)

[@ve3lks997]

Tnx for the clarification Marilyn. The rest of my shipment came in last night so getting everything assembled and ready to go. Keep the great videos coming as I find you are one of the few that explain the whole process. @@MakingwithMarilyn

That computer desktop made my skin crawl.

It does have that effect on a lot of people. Thanks for watching, despite the jumbled mess of my desktop:)

1st pass Blue, 100%, 400 mm/s, 200 lines/cm 2nd pass IR, 50%, 400 mm/s, 200 lines/cm

[@MakingwithMarilyn]

Thank you very much! I will try this out.

[@knitsewfancy]

I have the xtool D1. I use some sort of weight inside the tumbler to keep it from shifting slightly with each rotation, I filled a sock with marbles and that worked well. You can also adjust the speed the rollers move in the software. Thanks for the video!

[@MakingwithMarilyn]

Thank you so much for these suggestions! I really appreciate you letting me know about them!

Where is your favorite place to order tumblers

[@MakingwithMarilyn]

My favorite tumblers have been Realkant and Hiipoo tumblers from Amazon. I have ordered from Alibaba before and they are less expensive, but I have had better results with the others.

@@MakingwithMarilyn no problem and enjoy your day!

[@Livingandcooking]

That is so cool! The only issue I see is you’re making me want to spend money again 🤦🏽‍♂️. What happens if you push lines per cm even higher than 200? Does it get to a point where you don’t see a difference anymore in “resolution?”

[@MakingwithMarilyn]

Thank you! I bumped this up to 300 for a few of my little samples, and with such simple wording, I did not really see a difference. I need to play around with it some more to see what types of images it makes a big difference on.
