the white primer is about the bottom choice, smokey beige from rustoleum, or the 2x paint and primer. work really well. or art paint like kobra white gets deep dark blacks
Satin blossom white from Rustoleum is what I use.
You can also use rustoleum 2x gloss black.. seems like TiO2 isn't the compound in the paint causing the permanent mark.
for this to work i can not stress strongly enough how important focus is, and the paint type matters alot.
i am about 600 etched tiles in to this hobby
good points, I should have mentioned focus more but that is a huge factor!
Yeah. I’m finding that out now. Someone showed me the 3 color method too before anyone posted it. His Godzilla was amazing, and layered it in epoxy, in addition to the cork on the bottom.
600 good tiles? YOWZER!! I'm at 1 good 3 bad, ha ha!
I can see someone using this to make a puzzle for their floor. Don't know how difficult it would be to program each tile so that once it's laid down and viewed from a distance, you'd see the whole picture.
I have a tile I made with the first method that I have been using as my daily coaster for like 6 months. No chipped paint. I just sprayed it with a couple coats of Polycrylic.
The best paint I've found for NWT is Rustoleum Antique White. I did have trouble finding it at Lowe's and Ace Hardware but Home Depot had it.
I think I use that on the exterior of my house for touch up, new gas line..well, its a crappy house.
You could also use that as a print block.. engrave some Gustave Dore etching, put a dab of ink on it, get a roller, and some paper.
Gutenberg approved.
I have the xTool D1 (upgraded with with 20watt module) and and it engraves fine... 100% power and and about 500mm/sec... (it slow but does it straight on to the tile no preparation etc... I have not tried images/pictures as such yet just logo's so getting detail and gray scale may not work.
wow this thing looks so cool seems like i will be getting into this stuff soon
Do it!
would like to have seen you show how to do these things rather than talk about it. kind of leaves a person like how do i do this? there are several steps especially in light burn to invert image. i see other links for that in description, so cool and thank you for the test files.
The NWT is very simple. Just use Titanium oxide and a bit of water or so. Paint the tile, engrave an boom. U have the look. Dont need white paint for this. Cause it is to much chemicals in there. Only Titanium dioxide and all goes well.
Titanium oxixde or dioxide? What's the best way to source this?
@@jeromemccrary8682 Titanium Dioxid is right.
What ratio do you use for mixing the Titanium Dioxide?
You only have the wood test file, what about tile ?
I don't think your email on page to send test file is working. Also as a question, If I was planning on mass production of these for business what model/spec would you recommend for speed &clarity? You've been the best voice on Yat by far and I've enjoyed your work. I will be buying through your affiliate a d also several of your courses. Great work
for how whats to know you need a spray paint with titanium dioxide to makes this work normal spray paint dont work
Can you use lasergbrl? I have not really gotten into gbrl settings yet. Can you do different burn strengths also?
hi brandon. idownload your testfile but is not the same you show in your video ? I'm new user of lightburn and don't know how to change it.
Thanks for the file! Why does the image come in mirrored or backwards?
I have lgrb is there a test file for that software
i have seen ppl etch directly to tile. You said you can't.
best way to protect the colored tiles, spray or paint clear coat on them, and opn the last coat, pop into a toaster oven at 300F for 20 minutes, then turn off said oven and let naturally cool., This will bake on the clear coat
and your wife says.....
@@DavidALovingMPF102 i have my own toaster oven just for this purpose hahaha
I have a convection oven I use for sublimation. Would that work for these tiles as well? Not trying to waste funds on another oven if I can use the same one for both!!
@@lynnettesoltwedel866 as long as you dont cook in the oven, your good:)
I need a laser machine more for engraving, it would be fun too if I can cut other materials, according to your experiences would I make the right choice to buy ortur laser master pro2?
Download test files dont have helmet test ;( can you share ?
I really want this laser ❤
Please advise me how the Ortur Laser Master 2 Pro laser could take a photo in black stone.
Customers want to take photos of monuments
Thank you
I have been watching your videos on the Ortur and I really want to "downgrade" to one just to say I have one, I feel like I'm missing out on something lol plus they're so fun to watch.
Wonder if this works with mirrored metallic gold paint.
Hey I love the video! Does this method work with marble as well?
You should try TIO2 mixed with water 1 to 3 ratio. Atomizer and it works perfectly. Nice work
Yes i find i get good results from the ti02 method ... just a quick question i have a falcon 2 laser , do you know the best Hight settings for tiles ?? thanks IAN
@@busalol I normally focus my laser as I would for a normal engraving project. I would then run a material test and decide speed and power. Height is not a factor for me
What is a power scale option?
I enjoyed the video but can't seem to download the test files. It just goes in an endless loop. Is the download functional? Thanks.
Are the links to the test files for tile engraving still available?
Thanks …great video….I subscribed……looking forward to more.
Thanks for the sub!
Did you buy a $2000 camera BODY for your website?
Question , I want to purchase neje 40w in / 15w out laser will it be able to do this or I need a smaller wattage?
As a newbie to the world of laser engraving/cutting, can this same process be applied to metals, like aluminium, using a 40W CO2 laser?
Where is the link
Does anyone have a power and speed test file for lasergbrl?
Did you ever try Creatix airbrush paint???
0:59 where did you buy this orange protective part?
It's part of the machine, comes pre-attached.
Great video! Good info!
Great video. Very valuable information 👍 - would it matter for the tile to be shiny Vs being matt?
Not from what I can tell since it’s painted anyways. Also I tested matte and gloss for the primer but didn’t see a huge difference. But some folks do
the file doesn't load and I hope you don't send me a bunch of junk mail
I love you video, it's clear and and sound is great. I bought the O.M.2 laser. I'm having trouble importing images in light burn. Maybe its my computer, Window 7 ????? I don't know. 😒. I have touched a computer in 25 years. Zip, extract ????????.
I am using Windows 7 also and don't have that problem. You are using the 'Import' feature, correct?
@@krisknowlton5935 You can also use drag and drop until you learn the software
@@nadagoto9508 yea, I use drag and drop all the time too.
Would this be manageable on the ortur laser master 2 (not the pro)
yep!
Yep, I've been doing them for months.
The paint is the very important ingredient. Rustoleom spray paint seems to wok best. I could not find it in Switzerland. :-(
Other spray paint are a lottery to get nice results.
who won the laser?
Question for a beginner that knows nothing about the laser,s which is better or easer to learn ortur laser master 2 or ortur laser master 2 pro ?
Preston Griffin, I have both lasers and can tell you there is basically no difference in how you operate them except with the LaserMaster 2 you have to focus by turning the lens. On the pro version you adjust the whole laser head up or down to focus using a cylinder that is the right length. The pro version is worth the extra money if you can afford it. The big learning curve is the software and it isn't really that much. I bought LightBurn and am extremely happy with it. I still have my heart set on a 100 watt CO2 laser but I can't justify the cost right now so the LaserMaster 2Pro seemed like an excellent entry level laser.
excellent video
Thanks!
Good to know! I have the XTool D1 and I use the stock stainless steel setting and it has no problem
Engraving into tile then I just fill in with paint
I just got the xtool d1. Are you coating your tiles with paint or just engraving directly onto tile
@@cynthiasparks7545 right smack dab on the tile :)
By any chance, are you planning to build a course on laser engraving?
Funny you mention it….stay tuned ;)
@@makeorbreakshop you definitely know your craft ;-)
@@makeorbreakshop I hope so your so skilled and your engravings are SPECTACULAR ❣
I see these come in 3 sizes. What size is yours? Is it best to get the largest one?
@@fishinchicks2009 Bigger is better. Faster burn times in some cases. With the 5 w output (20 watt Ortur), I have almost burned through a 1/4 of cedar in one pass. (That is NOT what I wanted) With the right program and exposure, you can cut 1/8th inch plywood for boxes.
For tiles, dye sublimation is faster, less expensive, and more durable.
Is sublimation direct to a tile possible without first applying a laminate?
Do you have a video on exhausting the fumes from the laser? Eye and lung protection is very important of course. Have you ever had to clean off the laser lens due to burnt, ejected material? Thanks. Great video, editing. Where did you get the laser filter shield that is attached to the laser head?
Great. Video bro 😍😍🥺
Thanks!
In all the months that you have been using your Ortur have you had any problems with framing your tiles.
I use a simple method for framing anything I work on. First of all the laser must be fastened to the board it is sitting on. Step 1. Draw a square in LightBurn the size of your tile and put the square as a line layer. Step 2. Place a piece of cardboard (I use old cereal boxes) on your board in the appropriate place and thumb tacks it down so it cannot move. Step 3. Cut out the square you just made in LightBurn. Step 4. After you have cut the square out and removed the cut-out change your square in LightBurn to a tool path and be sure you do not move that square as it serves to outline your tile. Step 5. Put your artwork in that square. Step 6. Place the tile in the cut-out square in the cardboard. If you start from the home position every time with your laser the tile will be positioned perfectly every time. This method has worked perfect for me everytime.
nice
Thanks!
What was your dpi for the mando tile??
Around 300
I did have a browse through the comments, but when using the laser on the tiles like in the video, does it produce any smoke or fumes? I can't really tell in the video. I don't have a spare place to use mine when I buy one, so hoping I can use it in my bedroom or is that a bad Idea?
Yes it produces fumes. And they are not pleasant. Not something you would want to fill your bedroom with. If you had a way to set it near an open window and set up a fan to blow the fumes outside you might be alright.
Smoke and fumes. We have ours in my current workroom and even with a window open and a fan IN the window the room was pretty bad. You are going to want some better type of exhaust for a bedroom.
The right paint is so important, you need one with a high percentage of titanium oxide , also the laser focus is critical and a video would be helpful to users , good video though.
Paint is very important. In studying the recipes for various paints, I have found that most major / name brands contain approximately the same amount of Titanium Dioxide. However, the Rust-Oleum paint, that a lot of people seem to favour, contains an ingredient that the others do not - Zinc Oxide.
Just wondering what your thoughts were on the tooli G3 and is it possible to get attachments and tools to carry out all the tasks the G3 can do on any of the engravers you have reviewed?
Do you have any idea why there would be "bending or waves" in the image when engraving tiles or canvases??
Is it an issue with "passthrough?" I think passthrough needs to be turned on to "print" an image. I'm a newbie but thought that might be one reason.
@@Mike-ns1bf i actually figured it out and tbh i dont hit passthrough anymore...
Pretty dumb but with imagr is always does that when im trying to laser on a white background image, so basically anything where i would spray paint white,"even if i didnt spray paint it white the tile i would use is white soit would always happen...now i which from gimp to imagr depending which style of work i do and the bending is gone.
Basically it was my own fault lol
@@thatonegamer2709 Thanks for the reply! And thanks for letting me know your tips. I literally have my test burns going right now, just up and going today trying to figure out things. I'm a 'trial-and-error' type of guy, but with the painting and all that jazz taking so much time I want to try and learn from others as best as possible to utilize my time as much as possible. Thanks again!
@@Mike-ns1bf exactly how i began to learn how to use my machine trial and error work but also what works for your machine might not work for mine...not only that but the way you process your images can have alot of differences when lasering them onto any material..
Might seem off but i run tend to run my speeds of %130 and up that way i can also add the power higher and make my portraits done faster and still look the same,..compared to others who go half speed and power,..trial and error helps you better understand your machine alot better and lets you understand different materials alot better. 👍
*****I went about 2months straight doin tests and speed runs based on different materials to see where i was comfortable,..now its pretty easy**
acetone does not contain alcohol!!!!!
cant win them all
When will you be picking the winner ?
He said IN the video "In a few weeks".
You probably could get away with just using Rubbing Alcohol rather than Acetone. Just a thought.
Acetone isn’t alcohol. It’s a ketone. People that fast will actually smell a little like acetone.
Could I make a customized credit card with this laser?
Just curious I want to open my business in the future and I know this isn't the place for legal advice but wouldn't selling that tile be copy right infringement
Yeh I would be super careful selling anything that is copyrighted, you'll need to get approval first. You can still make stuff for personal use.
@Make or Break Shop I appreciate it i figured that was the case I'm still pretty new to everything and I don't want to end up penniless
Did you really say that acetone dries quickly because it has alcohol in it? Really?
Your link to the laser gets to a 404 page. OOPS... THE PAGE YOU LOOKING FOR CLOCKED OUT!
Oh sir I need this so badly, my unemployment ran out and i'm so stuck. I purchased a Lazer Pecker. Sending it back tommorow. I'm not begging I'm pleading on kness..I need this it's all I ever wanted. When will you choose the winner? Thank you ❣Terri
i bought laser pecker 1 and sold it like in 3 days after use. I got myself a orturmaster laser 2 and have been making some extra money. the laser pecker 2 will have the same problem as the lp1 the bed size is only 10x10cm it is super small
@@michealcroes3377 Thank you for writing me Michael. Guess that's what I to will do. I will have to wait for refund from Amazon unless I win 🏆!! I'm also going to get a larger work bench. What I have made is nice. To tiny tho. So disappointing. I've got the blues baby 😔 Loved the tile engraving❣
@@michealcroes3377 I sure loved your teaching demo. Nice!! Good Clean Beautiful work ❣
Opps your not Brandon from video...Sorry Michael nice to meet you and appreciate you writing me. Michael which one should I get? I see there are 3 sizes?? I'm looking for exact measurements. I don't seem to find them. What size is yours?
YOUR TILES ARE STUNNING ❣❣❣
I’m currently trying to save up money for a laser engraver, I entered the giveaway but probs not gonna win, you guys know any sub 300 dollar laser suggestions that ship to the EU let me know 👌
people buy tiles?
Yup. I've made memorial tiles for people. You can put a picture of the loved one on it with their birth date and death date. Cost? What ever the market will bear.
lets go Brandon!
"Acetone dries very fast because of the alcohol content"
bruh
Before we get all excited about running out and printing images on tile. You should realize that those images belong to someone else they are copyrighted and using them is against the law you are essentially stealing someone else's property
True, you should never sell this. Just for personal use.
I guess “How to lose your house in a copyright infringement case brought on by Disney” was too long of a title.
Nobody said you have to sell copyrighted stuff.
Dude, why are you talking so fast? Chill
So ...in a word , you later engrave paint on a tile , it’s not tile engraving , click bait much?
The 2nd method etches into the tile itself.
