Laser Cut Product that Sells Quickly!

Great info!

[@SJSSawdust]

Thanks - I appreciate the support

Great Video

[@SJSSawdust]

Thanks- I appreciate it!

What do you think about adding tabs to that insert piece in a fashion that would twist lock into place, allowing the mesh to be replaced if needed. Is that worth the extra work cost wise? Would it even be a positive to do that, business wise? You would be better off just selling a whole new product to returning customers instead of replacement parts, right?

[@SJSSawdust]

That’s an interesting point. This was designed to be very fast and easy. The mesh screen is simply pressed into place and is held by friction only - so replacement is a breeze! Since you are only scorching the wood for a very short time, these will last a very long time!

[@adamarzo559]

@@SJSSawdust Yeah, you're right. I think that the pressfit is just as easy to replace. Tend to overthink things to try and make them easier to use,etc lol. Sometimes it works out, sometimes...not so much.

[@SJSSawdust]

@@adamarzo559 hahah. I do that all the time!

Hey I want to cut wood penal like so can I do

[@ClintonCaraway-CNC]

I saw Hamilton Dilbeck making those things. Can't believe people buy so many of those. Nice job though and great video.

[@SJSSawdust]

Thank you. I think they are such a hot product (no pun intended) because it’s a fully immersive experience- you get the scent of fire/smoke, the visual of the glass filling with smoke and, of course, the taste!

[@straywelshone]

Thst looks awesome what do you burn to create the smoke in the whole

[@SJSSawdust]

Thanks! You can use any hard wood shaving to burn.

[@ghettofollies2988]

Thanks how thick is the wood?

[@SJSSawdust]

For this project, I used 1/2” for the “fire” and one of the rings and 1/4” for the other ring. You could use thicker material for the rings and just sand the thickness down to your liking , if you want the bottom to be flat

[@kimberlyadams4446]

These are awesome! May I ask what settings you used on your D!? I have tried probably 20 different settings and cannot get mine to cut through... even with 3 passes.

[@SJSSawdust]

@@kimberlyadams4446 thanks! I usually “cut” at 15 in/min and then just vary the passes depending on the hardness of the wood. Pine is less passes, Oak is more. Make sure your focus is set correctly and that your lens cover is clean - I found that, that can get built up in “pitch” or residue from the cutting process

[@kimberlyadams4446]

@@SJSSawdust Thank you so much! I have Oak on the way so I can try again.

[@SJSSawdust]

@@kimberlyadams4446 no problem- hopefully you can get your machine dialed in!

[@onikiristudios]

Great video, I'm considering doing something similar as I get into my first laser (20w diode), what size screens are you using for this specific build? Appreciate the video, and helping some of us out here make a bit of additional income with our toys!

[@SJSSawdust]

The screens are incredibly cheap, like a penny each. They are 3/4” in diameter

[@onikiristudios]

@@SJSSawdustappreciate the quick reply, thanks very much, I'll definitely have to give this a shot!

[@wrichards15]

Those turned out great! The pixilated picture of Mario in the background is awesome! Did you make it?

[@SJSSawdust]

Thanks and yes, I made it a couple of years ago!

[@Barneyscarpetcleaning]

How much are u selling them for? I think they would sell well here.

[@SJSSawdust]

They can go anywhere between $20 and $25

[@RockyRiverHills]

I'm new to the laser scene, would the D1 pro 10w be able to handle this file?

[@SJSSawdust]

I definitely think so. The 20w cut through in a single pass (pine) or 2 passes (oak). I think you won’t have any problem if you run multiple passes at a slower speed!

[@southtexashay777]

Nice channel. I subscribed to your channel. I love CNC wood working and have my own channel where I make a bunch of Hay and farm work. I just uploaded a CNC video that I have been itching to post but think I need a New channel for that. What do you suggest. I have a Laguna swift 4x4. and do make some great items. 2-3 D Badges, Rocking horses, Piggy banks ETC.

[@SJSSawdust]

Thanks! Since CNC videos will be so different from your current content, I would suggest starting another channel

[@ryangerman3072]

I have a few questions! Would you be available by email? I have a Glowforge basic and I think this would be so cool!

Sure. My email is [e-mail]
