Fiber laser engraving of aluminium business card
Great tutorial!
My pleasure
This is stunning. I‘ll for sure try that! Thank you.
My pleasure
That looks awesome!!!
thank you
Do you get the same effect if you on focus and less power? Sounds odd to set a machine off focused. Does the dot size increase then?? Or maybe its so little.
Good question, the offset was the solution to engrave well we say engrave but its not actually engraving the stainless steel, i believe it is just effecting the coating on top to make it black. It depends on the effect you wish to have on the steel engraving even at lower powers the lasers will char the steel. I basically discovered an acceptable image quality when i was making a marked black steel tag and forgot to offset the laser, so wanted to pass it on. Its a very fine line in power % where you will get no effect on the tag, to it burning a great big hole in it. A very informative channel is called SarbarMultimedia Russ goes indepth with the laser physics and the variables that change the quality of the beam, the punch of the power and its effects, quite fascinating.
Very helpful!
Thank you, i look forward to discovering and sharing more
I would have loved to see these next to each other to compare. Good video! Please keep them coming.
best i have is this drive.google.com/file/d/19Ksmyc8j1lIY3Q9zRU6uj9ULf0RJJDOy/view?usp=sharing
Those look great!!! I've got a bag of those dog tags so I think I'll give it a shot !!!
my pleasure, look forward to sharing the results, mine can always be improved
Awesome!
Thanks!
600 frequency? Mine only goes to 100
I would double check with the laser manufacturers notes to make sure
@@nostrodamus1980 I did
@@swflscratcher5893 i dont think it will be impossible just will take some trial and error with some cards using 100 and slowing the speed down
Ho
Keep making these please.
@@wantafastz28 thats really kind of you thank you. Happy to post what i know and learn
Nice! I didn't know that option ! I tried to reproduce but I don't have 3D Sliced option, how did you get that ? I'm using a Falcon 2 pro. Thanks
Thanks, unfortunately 3DSliced is only enabled for galvo lasers
@@nostrodamus1980 Do you mean the Galvo licence of Lightburn or the machine ?
@@HelloYohan sorry yes i was going to clarify that its only available on the galvo license that i can see
Very impressive! I'm afraid to ask what you saw when you googled "image of cracks"! 🙂
hahaha yeah certainly not a fun search if safesearch is off lol
is your laser in focus during lasering?
yes this is at focal point
Awesome! Thanks for sharing!
Awesome!
Excellent ..big thanks for sharing
learnt from the best, you take from the well, you give back to the well
Well explained. Thank you for posting this. Just what I was looking for. I also would rather hear your natural voice than some AI computer voice. Keep up the great work 😊
Thank you, means a lot. Im still learning but will keep posting as i go
👍👍👍
Awesome!!!
Thanks for this, I'll have to get some stone and give it a try 🙂 Did you get the stone from a hardware store?
My pleasure, not all stones will work but fun to try different types. These are sandstones from a local art and craft store
Nice work! I assume this is done with a 2.5D machine and not a standard 2D? Would EZCAD 3 do this as well as Lightburn?
@@kreakleuter thank you. im not sure about the first question, if your asking if the machine uses any sort of z axis movement to do this. The answer is no, this was done at a fixed focus. Im sorry im not aware of ezcad being able to do this, only lightburn
@@nostrodamus1980 thnx, got it , all clear now🙏
@@kreakleuter glad i could help
I think we have the same machine or very similar ... thanks for the video. Are you sure you're configured correctly? I'd expect to see an available entry for q-pulse width, your MOPA should have it available ... Check the Device settings -> Ports and laser settings and enable q-pulse width setting. Nice work... love the concept... I'm in an area with lots of various types of rock... I can melt volcanic rock to produce glass that is black. There isn't any great detail available in any of the rocks I've used, so I use a long lens. An F254mm (175x175mm coverage) has a depth of focus (dof) of about 4.8mm. If you focus to the center of that area, it will remain in focus for almost 5mm. The F420mm has a dof of about 13mm. Of course the tradeoff is detail and a bit of power, but a much greater range. Not sure if I'm sold on the >256 pass option, but the jury is still out, at least with me.. I think if you're doing 3dslice you should use the 256 value for passes. This is a post by Oz on the Lightburn forum on it's operation. With 3D Slice, each pass is thresholded to the current threshold value, and the result is run as a 1-bit image. If you use 256 passes you get exactly one pass per gray-level in the image. Every pixel at or below brightness 255 for the first pass, every pixel at or below 254, then 253, and so on. If you choose 128 passes, you get every pixel at or below 254 for the first pass, then 252, then … It “clusters” the layers together into batches if you use fewer than 256 passes, and will duplicate some layers (with even spacing) if you use more than 256. 384 passes would duplicate every 2nd layer. 512 passes would duplicate every layer.
@@jackwilborn2353 this light burn is one not attached to my laser as was using it just to record in OBS, yes if LB is set up correctly you'll have pulse width too but as it used the default I just left it. It is very much trial and error and in the groups I've seen brass done with nearly 4000 layers. I would say it's a project for someone like Nicky Norton who will demonstrate the differences the amount of layers make. It's still very similar to how we used to do line intervals that coincide with the nema17 motor steps but even with a fiber laser we are still using the same DPI values. There are so many variables with the fiber galvo lasers that I tend to just go with what works for me. If someone posts improvements I will certainly try them out. My posts I'm uploading to give basics for others to try and experiment with as a lot of using these machines seems to be cloaked in secrecy and not sharing the settings used. I learnt all I know from the groups so these are to show my results and how I got em. I will give 256 a go though to see if there is any difference, also would make sense to try multiples of the 256 in order to get more defined edges. It's definitely something to ponder :)
This is very well done sir.. love it.. (Wish I could hear it though.. =) (Video has no audio for me..)
Thank you, yes the short has no audio but if you wish to know how the engrave is done, there is another full video on my channel with a walkthrough
Hi there ,great video. What type of stone are you using .i am trying to replicate and using sandstone stones,I'm getting some peaks occurring.tbh it has happened with slate too. I have a Cloudray 50w JPT . Great video again
these are sandstone rocks too, i know exactly what you mean and get them on some stones but not on others. Im not entirely sure why it happens to be honest, i think it might be something to do with air pockets within the stone
@@nostrodamus1980 I've tried using your settings,and tried lower frequency too ,trial and error as always.thanks for your quick response.keep up the great work.😎
@@jumbostattoostudio no problem, ill do an update if i find out anything further but i think its just the nature or organic materials
Wow! I didn't even know this kind of thing was a thing!!!! What type of laser do you use if you don't mind me asking?
Thank you, im using an OMG-X 60w mopa from OMGLaser.com
This is absolutely amazing. I seriously gotta give this a try but I only have a 30W MOPA.
@@TweakerIncorporated thank you, certainly give it a go, just remember not all stones will give same result so try different types
Thanks for showing the work flow.
@@wantafastz28 my pleasure
Very nice I am going to try those settings. Never tried a Frequency/Q-pulse combination like that.
Me either but it works
Thanks for this. I noticed the stand on your laser, are you using a 300x300 lens? What's the apparatus that the coin was sitting on? Also, did you build an enclosure? Quite the setup, would love an overview if you're looking for video ideas.
@@bearsstuff thank you, the coin stand is something i found on thingiverse and 3D printed. The laser enclosure i built from old 3D printers i nolonger used, its made of aluminium extrusion and 3mm MDF for the top half. Sitting on a frame of extrusion holding the case of the laser. Its all on wheels so i can move it around. I can certainly do a video, its cheap but keeps the fumes and dust away, add a webcam and you can watch your engravings in complete safety. The lens im currently using is 150mm.
Terrific! Thanks for showing the settings and explaining that portion. I’m about to run out to the shop and work on lasering some leather and then a challenge coin!
@@spencerc4054 my pleasure, i hope to see the results
@@nostrodamus1980 I don’t know how to upload the picture. However, the project took three hours to do one side (I did a Topo map). I copied your settings and wonder if I can speed it up
@@spencerc4054 what was the size of the project? a coin black engraving shouldnt take that long at 1500mms unless your speed it set to 1500mm/m
I don't see the more details? Is it here somewhere?
@@jackwilborn2353 the comments section part?
That's beautiful! 😀
well explained
thank you
That is really cool, what are you using for power/speed/lines settings? Google says.... To convert an image to grayscale in Photoshop, open the image and go to Image > Mode > Grayscale.
everything is in the video, this will make a greyscale image but with engravings the images come out better with tweaking to the highlights and shadows for the dithering
Awesome!
Thank you
Awesome!!! Keep this up, I imagine it won’t be too much longer before you have companies reaching out - wanting you to rep their products (other laser companies).
Thank you, a ways to go but i am enjoying posting my process. So will post more for sure
beautiful!
Thank you
Loos great!
Thank you
Keep the videos coming! This is great. Also, would you consider a “how to” for doing one. I suspect people will soak it up and the channel will begin to grow quickly!
Thank you, yes i will give it a go, im no editing guru so could be a rough over the shoulder step by step
That's a lot of great detail in that photo!!
Thank you, yes this photo paper is really good for getting details
