This was really helpful. I've had my S1 for a few days now and just got the RA2 today (it shipped separately). I was hesitant about the tumblers, but this helps. You are correct about the S1 videos. They are limited in multiple topics. I've seen some pics in the Xtool FB group of full wraps on the big 40oz tumblers but haven't figured out how they account for the size variance from top to bottom. I appreciate you making this.

Higher speeds need to be a large size or it becomes slower with small engraving sizes due to the over run the module needs to travel to engrave @ the set speed. I have done months and months of testing. I have had the S1 since the beginning of June

This is applicable to all lasers using a similar gantry system. The engineers design in this over-run to reduce stresses on the gantry, but remember it only reduces them. High speeds still force the motors to work harder when switching directions, so it affects the unit's lifespan as well. Most people (YT creators I've watched and myself) have found they get similar or slower times when going over 200mm/sec on anything under 3-4 inches (or large jobs that have lots of directional changes), so using this slower speed doesn't really effect run time at all, and gives you better control with laser power and longer motor life.

thanks! I bought myself the 20W version for Christmas and after watching your video I was confident enough to start my first tumbler project. We'll see how it turns out as I have to run the speed a little more than half the speed you have listed on your video- thanks for the content, also love how organized your shop looks!

Yea, output and even the tumbler coating can vary the speeds

Many thanks for that tutorial, it has cleared up a few grey areas. Do you think you might do something similar using lightburn? The crumb tray on my s1 has to be fasted to the bottom of the riser. But good advice to make sure everything is fastened down. Now what about mugs or items that have handles?😊

I have other videos with lightburn, the principles are the same.I may revisit it when I am able.

Nice jig setup for the RA2, with that being stationary, and using the chuck, you could put a mark on the right side enclosure that aligns with the guide rail once you find the center, then you can go back to that spot without measuring for the center, as long as you're using the chuck.

I just use tool lines in the software.

Just got our S1 this week. Hoping to setup the RA2 in the next few days. Your test burn file of different powers and speeds. Is that something you can share?

I use the tool in XCS. It is under array

Any chance you would put that cutout for the RA2 on your etsy shop? I'm new and not quite sure how to make a tight fit for the ra2 to sit in. Thanks
@TheClackShack9 ай бұрын
It is already there in the xTool D1 jig kit. I just used the RA2 portion.

A couple of small,homemade, semi-soft foam wedges at the corner may help keep the crumb tray from moving around.

Not to the extent of accuracy that I want. It needs to be fixed in place for my taste. Thanks though

Thanks for info. Do you have a vid of actually setting up the tumbler in the lathe? I have it and haven’t used it yet on my s1. Thanks
@TheClackShack9 ай бұрын
Just set the end in the chuck and tension it. Just need to keep it straight.

censoring and deleting your comments will lose you subs pretty quick! especially when they are not spam

I do not delete comments but do use a profanity filter. This is my channel and I do not allow profanity, I will not compromise my morals for subs. Maybe, before commenting on something you know nothing about, you ask. If a comment was caught by the profanity filter without cause, I could address it.
