Laser Engraving Drinkware? Then YOU NEED THIS!

[@bryanbaldwin]

I just got my kit two days ago and this video was very helpful. I wasn’t totally lost but seeing how you utilize the two sections was very helpful. Thanks, Sam.

[@Samcraftcom]

I'm glad the video was helpful!

[@ryansmith5115]

Seriously considering purchasing these. How do engravings compare vs using a rotary? Ie; rotary turning and engraving vs a stationary, flat image.

[@pejdpink]

Just ordered this and a bunch of your F1 Ultra Jigs! Thank you for being you!!!!! You are AMAZING!!

[@Samcraftcom]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@RickSwartwood]

Excellent Jig Setup! My immediate question would be: Would you think about adding two more screws to the kit for the ramps? It appears that there is some possible play side to side with the long tall ramp for example. By having the 4 screws you all but guarantee they are square and perpendicular to the base. Just my 2 cents. Great Job regardless!

[@terryclair2914]

Boy amazing how close mine is to yours except instead of ramps I used different height risers made from 3mm wood that slotted into an array of slots on a 3D printed base. I think I like yours better! Nice work...

[@krisknowlton5935]

Sam, that is an ingenious idea. It is simple yet functional. One bit of advice, use your laser to put patent pending on it. That protects you better than a patent. Been there. You don't want some jerk stealing your idea and putting it into production. This video will help prove you invented it.

[@Samcraftcom]

Thanks for the advice! I’ll discuss that with a company I’m working with on some trademark and other legal work.

[@krisknowlton5935]

Sam, if you have ever noticed that some products have patent pending on them vs. an actual patent, it is because the patent pending cost you nothing and last forever. Whereas a patent can cost you tens of thousands of dollars. But, you are correct in speaking to a patent attorney about it because laws do change over time. By the way, I talked to Mark at Scroungers Paradise. He said the warehouse was not hurt in the hurricane, however he did lose his house and cars.

[@buhizkewl7105]

Could you replace the shims with another wedge that slides in perpendicular until supports the handle at the right angle? Thanks for the video!

[@sheilamgt]

Nice! I love the jig system. Thank you for being you!

[@Samcraftcom]

You bet!

[@sunhawk61]

Nice work Sam, nice work. Haven't started engraving drink ware, but when I do I will certainly put in an order.

[@richg7698]

If you use a string line level it has feet that would straddle the cups!

[@jimmyjpa]

Great idea and assume video! Do your jigs work with Otur lasers?

[@kingdomtouchesbyajayrichrn6077]

I may have missed something but what problem does this jig kit solve that a chuck rotary doesn’t?

[@thomasswenddal772]

Another spark of genius dude, luv it! Simple and done; I don't have a laser right now, (oh how I wish). I will remember this though; I mean why spend the dough on some lathe like thingy. This gets the job done right now. Thanks Sam, you are an inspiration!

[@kennethoros4043]

Being a professional coffee drinker I think the logo should be around 90 percent. Love your channel.

[@dasfreakster]

Nice video! Where can you find that level? Also, whats a good source for the shot glasses and solo style cups?

[@c3ajeff]

I don't own an X1 but I do own an OMTech compact Galvo - very similar. It might be nice if you had a list of similar machines that this jig is tested on. I'm happy to test it on mine. :)

[@robertmcduff3312]

Great design Sam, if you add a threaded base this could be used on a diode laser. Just a thought.👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

[@VegasMadMikey]

Looks nice but I must be missing something. How do you rotate the cup to engrave? I know my P2 can engrave a curved surface, but not very far around the mug.

[@Samcraftcom]

This is not a replacement for jobs that require a rotary for the proper outcome. Upcoming videos will help illustrate the benefits and proper use for this jig system.

[@angrygaragemechanic]

Does this kit work with the regular F1?

[@Samcraftcom]

This particular kit will not work unless you already have a riser base. Such a kit is being developed but will require a few more components due to the low vertical clearance of the F1. I do sell many other jigs for the F1 though!

[@TheGuardsShop]

Hi Sam, awesome stuff! I commented on a previous video (the 'How to Use my xTool F1 Ultra Laser Jigs' one), regarding shipping to the UK - you may have missed it? I want to get hold of some of these jigs, but shipping will cut my budget of 'Kit Kats' down by at least half .................. is there a distributor in the UK for these, to save us on the shipping side? My basket currently has a couple of jigs in it, currently the total is at £93, with shipping of £75, giving a total of £168 - are there any other options available, for us 'over the water' please? By the way, huge respect for you Sam, the stuff you do and ideas you have are very impressive!

[@brendahogue5487]

Love your videos. May the lord bless and protect you and your family and working in your shop

[@Samcraftcom]

Thank you very much!

[@giomakers]

nice video well done. isn't it easier to use a rotary RA2 pro?

[@marcokoch64]

hi sam! i like to see it work in this video! and after 3/4 cups most people get it!

[@quarlow1215]

How do you deal with a wrap around engraving?

[@Samcraftcom]

That kind of job is best accomplished with a rotary

[@wallaceworkshop]

Do you sell digital downloads of these jigs?

[@janzelic4258]

That looks awesome man great work 😁 would this system work with a co2 laser? 😊 if yes i would love to order one 😁 much love from Slovenia and thank you for being so awesome 😁❤️

[@FredSchmitthammer]

Sam, will this jig set work for the F1?

[@Samcraftcom]

Not unless you have a machine riser and threaded base to lock the jig components down tight. I am developing the additional products needed to sell this for the F1 though. :)

[@chrisoliver3851]

Hey Sam got a jig for the F1?

[@Samcraftcom]

That is being developed but will require a few more components due to the low vertical clearance of the F1. I do sell many other jigs for the F1 though!

[@RoyWCanada]

Hi Sam, just an idea for your great product why not call the lock and load drink ware jig? great video and explanation.⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

[@Samcraftcom]

That's a fun name! However, you would be surprised how many social media and online filters will block such a saying. :-\

[@RoyWCanada]

Hi Sam , now I understand why you didn’t use that name. What was I thinking. It a shame we have to think that way, but that is just how it is today. Keep up the good work. Your videos are so inspirational..

[@karencary3312]

Did you patent these?

[@rickmccaskill7888]

Thanks for sharing. Do you think this will work on your CO2 laser?

[@Samcraftcom]

It would need a foundation but that may not be too difficult to make…. Hmmm 🤔 😎

[@jimcurnow4538]

Will the Spacing on this Jig work for a Commarker B3 30watt. Very interested. Thank you

[@jimcurnow4538]

Sorry, mine is also a B4 Commarker

[@Samcraftcom]

This particular jig will not, but I am finalizing one for the ComMarker machines as I type this. :) All of my jigs will be available for the ComMarker very soon!

[@harrisglyn]

Sam make one for the P2 doedn't it just need some sort of base plate?

[@Samcraftcom]

Let me see what I can come up with. :)

[@TheWoodHaven]

Just ordered another engraved ammo box from your competitor's site. (boss yelled at me for forgetting SIL)

[@WhiteRockNATION]

Totally would love one of those!!!💙💙💙💙 great collaboration!

[@thanemakes5377]

Nice work Sam! Love that idea

[@belgowulf3147]

How do you rotate the objects?

[@Samcraftcom]

By hand. This is not a rotary jig.

[@TampabayLaserworks]

Click to order but it says it only works with f1 ultra and do not buy if I am not using with an F1 ultra?

[@Samcraftcom]

Right now that is correct -- I only have the F1 Ultra version. What machine do you have?

[@deannaoverstreet4146]

Thanks Sam

[@TaraKyleMiller]

Do you have something similar for the F1 not the Ultra?

[@Samcraftcom]

That is being developed but will require a few more components due to the low vertical clearance of the F1.

[@andylocker8250]

Sweet! Just ordered one :)

[@Samcraftcom]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@ActionTeamJoe]

Pretty cool kit system

[@TTC1940]

Great Jig program! You mentioned Commarker. Will it work on the B4?

[@Samcraftcom]

I am testing that version right now! :) It will be available very soon. Signup on my website email list and you'll get the notification from my shop when it publishes: samcraft.shop

[@TTC1940]

Good morning, Planning on ordereing the new Commarker Omni 1 for delivery the middle of next month. I'm assumning that the base design will be the same as the b4. Do you think that the tumbler leveling kit will be available by then?

[@Samcraftcom]

@@TTC1940 I'm waiting on my Omni 1 to arrive too! :) As soon as it gets here, I'll verify the threaded base dimensions and roll out the jigs! The most sure-fire way to get notified real time is to sign up for my newsletter on my website samcraft.shop

[@TTC1940]

Great to hear that someone else is ordering one. It has bothered me that there has only been one review by a YT influencer and he has not much of a following. You need to do a review ASAP with an affiliate link

[@TTC1940]

HELP, Sam when did you order your Omni 1? The reason for the question, is that I went to order one on Friday night and they had raised the price by 700$. I'm sure that their website said that the price was going up Nov 1. Do you have a memory as to the cut off date? I have emailed them looking for a clarification. We have had about 40 different back and forth email regarding the B's and the Omni 1, I do not want to pay a extra 700$ after all of this.

[@TheFeist77]

is there a rotary for this laser?

[@Samcraftcom]

Yes, xTool sells a rotary you can buy.

[@jimrosson6702]

Great idea Sam

[@joehanika]

Make a key hole so you don’t need to unscrew your ramps. We can talk about royalties. 😂

[@Bespokelasers]

Good work Sam. Do you ever sleep?

[@Samcraftcom]

Sometimes. 😂

[@gregparker5732]

Too bad the XCS center point or center line is not the center point of the machine base and consequently not of your jigs.

[@Samcraftcom]

On my machine it exactly centered with the threaded base.

[@gregparker5732]

@@Samcraftcom Interesting your the only one I know of that has checked and found it centered; most are off by 1mm to over 2 mm on both axes.

[@clydedecker765]

Sam, you're turning spurt on us all. Well dun.

[@pmartin6759]

👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@axelSixtySix]

Hey Sam, I just wanted to share my thought about digital fabrication : it's all about no jigs ever. Jigs invades your whole workshop in no time, while consuming your time in storage and setup. Here I would have design a rotary chuck, like on a lathe, which can adapt any round thing. In other words, I would think tools, not jigs. 1 proper tool for each job, that's productivity's pinnacle. My two cents.

[@Tater_Poutine]

Rotaries suck.. anytime you can keep something Static. It's always easier for repeatability..

[@axelSixtySix]

@@Tater_Poutine It seems I may have been misunderstood. A chuck is basically a vise designed for cylindrical objects. Unlike blocks or jigs, it adapts to virtually any shape-whether it's tapered, streamlined, or just plain quirky. Once your object is firmly secured, precision is pretty much a given. Now, tie that chuck to a stepper motor, and you've got yourself precise 360° positioning. I can't quite find fault with this system, except for one thing: it shares the downside of its strengths. It does require a bit of investment and, well, thinking ahead. But then again, where's the fun without a challenge, right?
