I really needed this! Have been putting off using my RA2 Pro for months. Thank you for the excellent tutorial. -Jane

[@FirstDayofHome]

Thanks, Jane! I hope you have fun making some cute tumblers. It’s so satisfying.

[@Sustainmycrafthabit]

So many great tips Crissy! Thank you - the tumblers turned out amazing!

[@FirstDayofHome]

Thank you! I can’t wait to make some more designs.

Can this do 40oz tumblers? And this was answered in the video please forgive me

[@FirstDayofHome]

Yes, you should be able to do a 40oz tumbler. My 40oz Stanley cup mouth is the same size as the aqua tumbler I engraved in this video (about 4"). For tumblers with handles, just make sure you can unscrew the handle. Good luck!

[@kimberlyweeks2265]

This video helped me so much! Does the machine automatically adjust the image for the taper?

[@FirstDayofHome]

I’m so glad to hear that! It doesn’t automatically adjust, but if you measure for around the middle, it should be fine. Here are some written instructions in case it’s helpful too: www.firstdayofhome.com/how-to-laser-engrave-tumblers/.

Where did you get your wooden risers? Thank you for the video! Very detailed and easy to follow!

[@FirstDayofHome]

I'm glad the video was helpful! The wooden risers sometimes come with the M1 bundle, but you can also buy them separately here (affiliate link): shrsl.com/4lrmb. I received mine as part of the M1 Deluxe package: shrsl.com/4lrmg. I hope this helps!

Is the adjustable support lifting the nase of the rotary tool off the table?

[@FirstDayofHome]

Yes, the adjustable support module sits on the same surface as the rotary tool. In my example, they both sit on the honeycomb panel (inside the riser base). If you're using wooden risers instead, you'll have the rotary and support module sitting on the base plate. I hope this answers your question.

[@ashleighsoufas2953]

how can I make sure the wrap matches up perfectly???

[@FirstDayofHome]

The design I purchased was made for a 20 ounce tumbler, and then I just had to make sure it was sized to get as close to the silver rim (edge of the powder coating) as possible. I used framing to preview where the laser would engrave and made adjustments until I felt it was close enough to the edge of the powder coating. Framing is your friend to preview the laser path before you process the job. I hope this helps! Here’s an article with the steps as well: www.firstdayofhome.com/how-to-laser-engrave-tumblers/#settings-for-engraving-powdercoated-tumblers

The Rotary is also compatible to the XTool F1. Just an FYI.

[@FirstDayofHome]

Yeah, I didn't include the photo or mention it in the voiceover, but I put a footnote in the video that mentions it. (The closed captions might cover it up.) Thanks for highlighting this also!

I love your measuring tape...where id did you get it?

[@FirstDayofHome]

The measuring tape comes with the xTool Rotary tool, which you can find here (affiliate link): shrsl.com/4892f. The tape has color coding to determine the level for the wooden risers or honeycomb panel and the roller gear (A, B, or C).

[@Michelle88-hola]

@@FirstDayofHomeoh ok…ya my new RA2 rotary accessory only came with a super cheap measuring tape. It’s not like yours. Thank you for replying ❤️

[@FirstDayofHome]

@Michelle88-hola Oh! Maybe they changed it. Well, I hope yours does the job still. Happy to help any time.
