Laser Engraving Anodized Aluminium - Ec-Projects

[@davecc0000]

Another interesting video of your projects. .

The ipad is clear anodized with a clearcoat secondary process. The extra chemical layer of the second clearcoat is burning and not etching the metal.

[@MrMonomonster]

Couldn't you find a more expensive testing media? I'm sure it is out there! :)

Etch aluminium with NaOH, better control of the etch as it is not as aggressive. If you mask the aluminium panel like a PCB you can do a panel nicely. The porous areas will accept dye nicely, or if you use a predyed panel it will strip the dye out selectively. I have done this with worn dyed alloy parts to get an even finish back, though I left it as plain afterwards. If you use a stainless steel container it will electrochemically strip the parts as well.

Thanks again. Love your toys.

[@Usman1921149251]

hello :) Hope you are good. If you dont mind can you please share what % power and speed you are using to engrave on anodized aluminium. JL-K3020 is 40w? thanks for sharing the helpful vidoes.

[@cvanhoose2000]

What speed and power settings did you use to get best results?

[@SeanBZA]

You probably could add colour to the etched areas now by using a dye to the etched area as the alloy is porous now and will accept dye until it oxidises again. Try using a sharpie to try and wipe off with IPA afterwards, the burn should hold dye better.

Thanks for the video, have you thought of doing one on your anodizing? Would like to see that!

[@ProtoG42]

Can you post a link to where you got your machine? Thanks.

Nice video Mads.

[@EcProjects]

Neil Robinson Thank you.. :)

[@Specialchocola]

hello , how are you ? thank you for your wonderful videos . would you show us how we set colors for engraving using coreldraw laser ?thank alot

[@LostRoaming]

Appreciate the videos. Subbed. Have you tried cutting any wood with this laser? I'm considering getting one. Thanks.

[@aerotro]

Thanks For Sharing Cool Video :o)

[@لبيكياقائمالمحمد-ر7ش]

hi ..how much the price

[@SquidJuice8duece]

hello how are you?...i hope well. I have been interested in purchasing one of these machines, would you mind letting me know what brand of machine your using. thanks in advanced.

[@EcProjects]

eduardo munoz I'm fine, thanks :) How about you ? My machine is branded "julong laser" and it's the JL-K3020 model.

[@tivonsmith4699]

@@EcProjects i cant seem to find this on amazon or ebay where can i purchase it?

[@pmgodfrey]

I have torn my K40 apart and replaced nearly every major component. Out of the box at $291, it was horrible.

[@КТ315-г7р]

Fore engraving light aluminium try to use black permanent marker on the engraving spot. Sorry fore bad English (google translate)

[@commandermessier1232]

Hellz yea! HeNe!

[@xferme]

Can you do PCB's? :D

[@zaprodk]

The iPad is indeed anodised. I think you have these problems because the surface you are engraving, isn't flat.

[@EcProjects]

***** Yeah, that could be. And it's not exactly in the focus point of the beam either :/

[@leppie]

EcProjects My bet would be that too. Any way to lower the iPad or raise the laser?

[@1999danie]

I have engraved every iPad I own with a universal laser systems 50 watt at 25% power 100% speed at 600'ppi and it always looks lovely I did my Mac as well but it may be to the $23000 price gap

[@tonylorentzen]

Det er sikkert allerede gået op for dig men bagsiden af iPad'en har jo en runding, så det er sikkert derfor du oplever at den ikke efterlader så godt et resultat. Laseren er simpelthen ikke fokuseret.
