Thanks for you comments. I will try this again sometime and making a better spray booth.

Thank you, Glad it was helpful! do you want to see any specific information or details of what i'm doing?

He doesn have a riser base

ohhh ok ty! :D

Thanks Gordon, hope the quality is better now, I found out on my last video I had zoomed in when editing so the image was not as clear. Still learning, and having fun. I’m just making some painted tiles to engrave, need to get them finished this weekend. John

Hello, thanks for watching, I just looked on my phone, but can’t find a link, I have downloaded lots from different sites, I’ll add links when I get back to my computer. John

Hello, its quite a high density MDF, free scrap wood from IKEA, I should do some more testing on some softer wood. Not sure how interesting people are about all this, im just about to try Painted tiles with some of these settings. hope to get that done today. Thanks for watching. john

Hello, Yes, I want to do a test on another metal plate with higher power and speeds to show what results are.

@@JSR_Design Thank you for your answer. So I don't necessarily need to buy the 2W laser? Have you had any experience with it?

Hello, Thanks for letting me know about quality, something has gone wrong with the upload or editing processs. it was recorded in HD, I checked the final edit. but I see what you mean. I'm not sure if I can change it after its uploaded. This is the 40w Blue diode, I think the 2w module is the infra red I have done a test run on different wood to choise the 40% power, 200% speed, but I guess something was different with the wood. I will try changing the speed and see the results. All part of the fun of learning, and this was scrap wood from Ikea. thanks for watching. John

@@JSR_Design it is fun trying out the many types of materials Also with wood there is a lot of factors to consider Like the grain quality and the texture of the surface along with how much moisture is in the material And the brightness from one piece to another Always try a material test It saves a lot of frustration And remember to save your settings for the type of material that you have got a good result from So you get a nice database to choose from when do same again As for the video I would upload in a lower quality as UA-cam upscales it to 1080 and the process improves Well that's what I find works good for me

Thanks, yes, I’ll have to read more about them and understand myself.

Thanks, I had this bottle left over from years ago.

I want to try on my own design files soon.

@@JSR_Design you will be impressed!

Thank you for watching and your comments, I have cut another set of files and I want to try spray paint it for a metalic gear effect. It also bugs me I messed up the wings, I was so close to getting it to work. Hope i can show the wings working soon . JR

thank you, yes, she is very creative.

Thanks, Great to hear! I wil try glass again but with a tape or paint to see the difference

Thank you.

Thanks Gordon, its nice to get feedback from people on my new hobbie and motivation to try new things.

Thank you, hope you like the new one.

Thank you, I hope to make more interesting things soon. JR

Thanks, there are some other aircraft models on the same web site, I will try those when I finish my current project.

Thanks for the feedback Trevor, I’m on holiday at the moment, but have a few videos planed when I get back. I need to buy a good microphone and practice the voice over. All part of the fun.

Hello, this tag came with the s1 machine. I just used default setting no spray or anything. Are you using the 40w diode? I read after I should have coated it with something to not damage the laser.

@@JSR_Design yes S1 40w. I have read now to get the laser mark spray lol

Hello, Thanks for the comment, I just read about it, and found this... "when a laser beam interacts with a reflective surface like stainless steel, there is a risk of damaging the laser diode. Reflective materials can bounce the laser beam back towards the laser source, potentially causing damage to the laser optics or diode itself. Stainless steel, in particular, is highly reflective to many wavelengths of light, including those emitted by laser diodes. When the laser beam reflects off the stainless steel surface, it can create a feedback loop where the laser energy gets concentrated back into the laser system, leading to overheating and damage. Using a protective coatings or masking: Apply temporary coatings or masking materials to the stainless steel surface to reduce its reflectivity and absorb some of the laser energy." So.... Next time, I will use masking tape This is why I started my channel, as i am learning, and getting feedback from people. Thanks again. John

Thanks, I’ll try that next time, JR

@@JSR_Design 😁 I gotta do the same testing with the S1. Finishing a lumber rack now. Keep sharing, Brotha. Your doing great!

Thank you. This is 3mm wood and default works well. I have some 4mm and thicker wood I had to slow it down a little. If there is an area not cut it’s easy to adjust the file to recut that part again without running the whole job.

hello, Have you checked the measuring probe is in the right place on the side of the laser module? If that is correct, you should be able to press the pointer part up and it clicks. Then in the software, there is a option to set the height, you need to put the red cross hair over the materrial to measure, and then press the little target icon in the software. The laser head then drops the pointer, and measures the height of the material, and resets on the metal datum point. I think in one of my videos i show this so ill have to have a look and let you know which one.

As this is my first laser, I'm not missing a camera, I know the Xtool P2 has a camera a big selling point, but So far its not been a problem for me. I looked at the Omtech machines and I dont think they had a camera. The positioning works for me. I can try the tooth pick gimmick, but dont see the need for personalised tooth picks :-D

@@JSR_Design Thanks

Thank you . JR

Hello, thanks for watching. JR

Thanks, I would like the riser base and rotary attachment to see how that works. The Glass turned out well, so have to try more in the future, but, I have about 10 videos to get finished first. JR

i'm just about to buy the xTool S1 with rotation tool and 2w laser. I am eyeing one on Amazon. how are you liking yours?

haha.. thanks... It was a lot worse than I showed in the videos... I will keep trying. John

I have orderd a smaller tube of wood glue, now, i want to do a multi layer design and the slime would not be suitable. I will look for the activator spay to try on smaller part I have planned. Thanks John

I just added a sheet of black paper behind it. There were 2 peices of circle of glass supplied with the machine. The test part was from my green house. Would like to get the rotory attachment to engrave some real glasses. Thanks. JR

Please can you add cc on so I can understand as I’m deaf many thanks 😊 Excellent work by the way!

@@PaulNelson66 There's no voice over on these videos, just the embedded text with instrumental music.

@@PaulNelson66 The guy behind the JSR Design videos has a great talent to balance videography, editing and the content as a story to tell, most of the time without commentary. The XTOOL S1 unboxing video features his voice, just one sentence, reacting to the previously opened plastic wrapping. He uses the onscreen comments to replace his voice really well. You should have the same experience with or without sound 🙂

@@PaulNelson66 Thank you for your comments, I am new to creating videos and not confident being on camera yet or talking. I only adding text to exaplain what im doing or my thoughts as im editing the video. My wife suggested I add background music. Im happy to explain any parts in more detail if you have any questions. Thanks John

Thank you, I have lots of ideas to try, hopefully both will keep improving.

There are lots of variations of the iris online, I hope to make more moving laser cut “things” when I get time. Check out www.woodthatworks.com/

I was considering the P2 co2 laser but it was twice the price of the S1. I also thought co2 lasers could be more complicated with mirrors, cooling, and replacement tubes. I’m really happy with the S1. I might want to cut thicker materials in the future, but still lots to learn. I have tried cutting 18mm plywood, but it wasn’t great results.

At aroung 2:00 min mark in this video you can see i lined up the centre with the pointer to start with, but then moved it so that the red laser lines were in the centre. Next to the "Distance mm" measurment part in the software is the target icon to set the probe to move. let me know if this helps, I can could make a "short" video on this if you need it. JR

Hello, the wed site is - makerdesignlab.com/experiments/mechanical-iris-prototype/

@@JSR_Design Thanks !!!

What part of Spain are you in? I would love to live somewhere warm and make things without freezing in my garage.

@@JSR_Design Southern - it still gets a bit chilly, even here but not usually enough for frost :) i still have friends in Bristol, oddly enough they like visiting here, wonder why..:)

I think the S1 will be great for you, I'm going to try more materials and understand the range of things we can make with this machine. Thanks. JR

@@JSR_Design Lots of things!

Thanks for the tip, I have some varnish to try, maybe next time I will think about making it look better.
