Love these designs.. all of the designs with the foil are dope 🔥💰. Exactly what I have been looking for.. love the classy look 🏆

[@scottw6004]

Thank you so much for including the design files with cut lines!!!

[@TrotecLaser]

You are so welcome! Not all of them have the cut lines, but many of them do.

[@rjtumble]

Have you ever tried using some kind of "sand" blaster to clean the material? I'm thinking something like baking soda as a medium so it's soft, then with low power. I wonder if that would be a good way to clean off the burn marks?

[@TrotecLaser]

I have; this is an excellent option if you have a sandblaster, see this laser hack video on this process:kzbin.info/www/bejne/inm5hq1vlJuJpbssi=WAf6QLGNTDGZPWr6

[@storytellerHD]

@@TrotecLaser This is very true. Using water to scrub and clean up the char, burn marks, and residue will definitely warp wood...having done this way, way too many times. I've been meaning to try Dave's sandblasting method but I not sure what media to use ( I know to avoid sand because of the hazards). Proper PPE should be used of course.

[@thanhnhanhuynhnguyen3652]

I man your brilliance insults the whole cnc community 😂. Why didn’t we think of it? Why???

[@jimhallas6419]

Great stuff Dave. What is the 100% power? 80w, 120w......

[@TrotecLaser]

Adjust the speed of a 120-watt laser from 50% on an 80-watt up to 65%, leaving all the other settings the same; this will speed up the process and account for the increased laser wattage to produce the same effect! Happy AI 3D laser carving!!!!!! -Laser Dave

[@designomomento]

I can not use my trotec laser because I dont have one 😁. Anyway you have great and inspring videos😊

[@TrotecLaser]

Thank you !!!! Lasers are so fun; maybe you can get into a Trotec Someday!😉

[@designomomento]

@@TrotecLaser ı hope so. Looking for a used one nowadays because much cheaper 😄

Our new Speedy 50 machine starts at $8900.00 running the ruby software and will get you started at a great price. www.troteclaser.com/en-us/contact/contact#storelocator

[@AllenHorn0507]

I want this so bad! I have never done anything with CNC before… Can you tell me which machine you used in this video?

[@TrotecLaser]

This was laser processed using a Speedy 360, 80-watt laser: www.troteclaser.com/en-us/laser-machines/laser-engravers-speedy-series

[@koekatelier]

Hi Dave! This looks so cute! I would love to make someting like this on my speedy 100 (30-40W) in clear acrylic. What settings do I need to use with this wattage?

[@TrotecLaser]

This is possible, but acrylic is a bit more complicated. Just run it at 100% power, 30% Speed, 1000DPI with two passes, and turn Relief mode on- after it is engraved, take it out of focus to glaze the acrylic with a third pass similar to this other laser hack for the best effect: kzbin.info/www/bejne/kH3dpqaQgb-An5Ysi=3F5jrM54-l0GoMzy. - Laser Dave

[@mikekiske]

@@TrotecLaser Hi. What's the highest/lowest height the laser can carve? I mean, how deep or high these layers can go? Thanks.

[@erik_riv]

The result is exquisitely beautiful 💯 How many more things can be done with the same TROTEC + AI combination? 🙌 Thank you!

[@TrotecLaser]

I am super excited to find out!!!

[@kateo3629]

Hey Dave. Thanks for the video. I can't seem to be able to use the trace tool. Its been permanently greyed out for me. Any thoughts on how to get it to activate?

[@kateo3629]

Nevermind. lol I played with it for a while and I got it to work, :) Thank you

[@TrotecLaser]

The Trace tool will only light up with JPG, BMP, or PNG file formats; if the file is a vector format, it will not light up.

[@Vadozz77]

Hi! I have a 48 watt diode laser machine. Will I be able to make it even a little bit like yours? Or just a Co2 laser?

[@TrotecLaser]

Diode lasers should be able to carve like this. However, beyond the laser type, it will depend on whether the software of that laser can produce a relief mode or 3D effect, where the software tells the laser to change the power for every pulse based on the shade of grayscale. Check with your manufacturer to see if they have a relief mode or a 3D mode to achieve this effect.

[@macrumpton]

Lightburn software will help

[@Vadozz77]

@@macrumpton what about settings?

[@LaserGuy62]

Can you do a Video using the Copilot app , I downloaded it but not sure how to do what you've done with 3d

[@TrotecLaser]

The process with Copilot is precisely the same. Copilot is using the same "Dall.E" image generator that was used in this video; it is just built into Microsoft Bing. Just open it up, type in that you want to create a "3D bas-relief image in greyscale," and tell it the image details!

[@LaserGuy62]

@@TrotecLaser Thank you for the information, I will start playing this weekend. This is really going to help those struggling to create new income.

[@TrotecLaser]

So nice

[@Hakkar]

Love your tutorials (but the music is repetative and thus very annoying). I have a 80w co2 from a different brand and constantly hear to avoid using 100% power because it reduces the lifespan of the lasertube, yet in most (if not all?) of your videos you use 100% power. Is Trotec different than other co2 lasers in that regard or am I missing something? (I know relief mode is the exception since it varies power)

[@TrotecLaser]

Our lasers are built with a ceramic core, allowing them to operate at 100% power without any issues. They can run at full power duty for 7-10 years before any reduction in laser power occurs. Typically, any decrease in laser power is due to the passage of time rather than usage. Therefore, the more hours you run our lasers during the first 7-10 years, the more production output you will achieve. I will work to improve my music in future videos; thank you for the suggestion.

[@Hakkar]

@@TrotecLaser ​ That is very interesting, so no lasertube? Thanks for the info, I will look into it more. Hopefully our business takes off so we can invest in a trotec in the future 😀 No music is the best music in tutorials 😉

[@coscu1193]

That will work on xtool?

[@TrotecLaser]

The X-tool may be able to do this, but they will need a 3D mode or relief mode.
