Don't know what it is but I find it a real treat when someone actually pronounces speed in millimeters per second and power in percentage. Also, this machine is actually doing bidirectional raster engraving? Sure appears in several KZbin videos the beam is only on in one direction.

No, Lance, it is currently only one direction. I may have been misleading with my back and forth hand motion because I'm so used to using Lightburn bidirectional. I'm hoping WeCreat steps up to bidirectional, they are making lots of improvements, fast, and that is quite important for efficiency.

Wow these turned out great!

Yes, I love them! I have so many now, though, I'll have to give some away. Do you want one?

Try cleaning the tumblers with LA's totally awesome. That is the best I've found for removing the smoke deposits after engraving.

Thanks, kkoors, I will definitely get some and try it!! I'm getting ready to order some. Can I use this on wood?
@kkoors3 ай бұрын
@@GreylightMay I generally don't put cleaners on wood. I premask them to protect the non-engraved area and then do a light cleanup pass with the laser to clean up the engraved area, if needed.

Thank you for the instructions, I do have one question. When you measure the tumbler, where do you measure? The tumbler is somewhat conical, so do you measure the middle or thickest/thinnest part?
@GreylightMayАй бұрын
Excellent question, one I had myself and couldn't find a definitive answer to. What I did, and it seemed to work, is measure near the middle of where the design was going, and did my best to use the adjustable foot to make the surface level. The Vision then does it's own measurement before engraving and this gives it enough information to do a nice clean job.

Can we get an Amazon link for the tumblers used in this video?

Hopefully KZbin will let this comment through. Sometimes they pull responses with links that go outside KZbin: TDYDDYU 8 pack 20 OZ Double Wall Stainless Steel Vacuum Insulated Tumbler Coffee Travel Mug With Lid, Durable Powder Coated Insulated Coffee Cup for Cold & Hot Drinks (Combine colors, 8 pack) a.co/d/hXeOW66 I'll try to follow up and make sure my response is visible!

Any reason to use LightBurn software rather than WeCreat software?
@GreylightMay2 ай бұрын
The current version of the software is so improved, I haven't used Lightburn, even though they improved its integration. I think 3d engraving was the only thing I wanted they still didn't have - and bidirectional, as I said in the other response.
