I have heard of transparent aluminum before, but never heard of clear stainless. LOL

Loving how helpful your videos are. I’m currently doing some 20oz Yeti tumblers. They’re too close to the laser for proper focus. I ended up mounting the removable floor to the outside of the bottom of the machine. Gave me about 5 millimeters more clearance and I can still use the locator pins.

Clack, have you considered sanding the test patterns off and re-using for something not for sale? I know my xTool 40W slightly engraves at my settings, so it might not work well.

Great video Clack!

There is a setting on the Roly drop down menu that centers the "Y" axis perfectly, no need to center by hand , then use the "move" button to adjust the 'X'

Thanks for the video. But... If you mentioned what wattage you used... I missed it. Please remember that the LaserMatic comes in a 10W, a 10W that is switchable to a 20W, and of coarse a 10W switchable to a 30W. So... Which wattage laser did you use? Also a reminder that the switch is on the left side of the laser head so your camera angles don't ever show that side where I could just look at the physical switch. Great info. Again, thanks for the video.

if you fill up the flasks with cold water before engraving it sucks more of the heat out.

[@user-pj4yl6pi5p]

you didn't mention but i assume you ran at 30 watts and not 10 thanks

[@garygardens]

Excellent video, thanks. I'm assuming you were using the 30w mode on your Roly rather than the 10w, correct?

[@beckysani7630]

Thanks that was very helpful. When you run a larger cup please do a video. I’d like to do a 40oz tumbler but haven’t tackled it yet because I’d lave to take the bottom plate off for it to fit I see the laser head and then how do I use the chuck

[@mstiff4u365]

Thank you very much.

[@ValricoDave]

Great tutorial. Thanks!

[@philbo9k]

amazing info - thanks so much!

[@Grandpa_LBM]

very helpfull, thank you for sharing sir

[@emyy3512]

thanks for the great videos!! what material would you recomend for marking fruit trees outdoors? I need to mark a few hundred trees with something that can put up with sun and rain for at least a few years. I was looking at the aluminum business cards but I don't know how they'll do outdoors. anything around 4x3 inches should do. thanks again!

I am waiting on my box 1 of 2 to show up and then I will be running my 10/20 Roly

[@Terry_Genereaux]

Hey did change the frequency on the Roly to engrave on the stainless steel

[@MatthewSmith-jc2pd]

Clack, I am getting my MK2 today so I plan on doing some testing too, but I wanted to offer what I think, not to be confused with what I know. I would think that if you increased your line intervals to .15 you would be able to mark them with less dimpling. What the low line intervals I think you run the risk of adding heat to an area for too long since there will be so much overlap, especially with the larger dot size of the 30W. I have been testing with line intervals a lot lately and I have been surprised by the results, not really what you would think in some cases. Now when I do a materials test I find the power setting for the speed I like then I run another grid comparing the power and line interval. Just a thought.

Is polished stainless an issue? I have some bar bottle openers that have a pretty polihed surface, are reflections a problem?

Where did you get the black riser under the laser? Thank you.
