Thanks, Clack! Your previous video on the subject pushed me over the edge to pick up a can and try it on glass for the first time this week. Fantastic results ensued. Now, I wonder why I waited so long! Appreciate the work you've put into the video series.
Glad it helps. I try to show the method to reporoduce the results rather than just showing off my results.
Egggggggggggggggggggggggggggggslent content. I will order Ceramark in a few. I finished my enclosure patterened after yours and ordered the Logitec camera through your amazon link. Thanx for sharing. I am learning a lot from you!
Awesome! Thank you!
Hi there, Cog Hill sent me over, have not checked ur video's yet, but i subbed and will go back and watch u all. Our great grand father showed us at 8 years old how to build a bird house. after that we were hooked on wood workiing, me and my twin brother started making silhouettes of nearly everything, painted everything black, then 1 single color but always only 1 color, ie butterfly's in pink or green or purple, at age 14 we made and sold $1 million dollars worth of stuff. we built stuff from age 8 to age 17, then in 2020 we lost our whole family to covid. great grand parents, both, grand parents both and mom and dad. at age 17 we buried our whole family and now were left with a hog farm with 12,000+ hogs and a $12, million dollar loan to repay. our woodworking business is dead but we are now full time hog farmers and currently have 37,000+ hogs, in janurary 2022 all the paperwork was finished and we now have mom's whole family from ukraine working on our farm. Sadly mom was gone already so she never got to see the dream she had to bring her whole family to Canada. sorry i like to tell people about ourselfs if we sub their channel, kinda like being friends to good channels.
That is quite a story. That is a terrible situation but good to see that it is improving. Losing loved ones is always tough, multiple is even worse. You must be a strong person, God only puts on us what we can handle. Glad to see the rest of the family got their dream... Thanks for watching.
@@TheClackShack my twin brother and i leaned on each other, we visited the funeral home 8 weeks straight. They started saying Oh no not again. uncle died 3 months later his wife passed a year before, so 3 days after we turned 18 we became the parents to our 2 cousins, both under 10 years old. we were 4 months late on loan payments, they don't care if ur dead they want the money, and 5 months late on the sale tax things. and government did not care they want your info. in 2020 we were twin 17 year olds then turned 18 but for 6 months we slept together in same bed. yes 2 men in same bed. it was comforting.
Howdy from Texas!! I came over here from the Cog Hill Live...such beautiful items you made for them! So now you have a new subscriber... 🙂
Thanks, Glad you like them...
Cog Hill Family Farm suggested to check out your page. Looking forward to watching your past videos, this one and future ones. Annette from Kentucky!
Thanks for stopping by. I appreciate it
Another use for the spray is to use it on a powder coated tumbler. The black marking looks really good against a light color. I use enduramark instead of ceramark but the look will be the same. I just did a lavender tumbler and the black really pops against the lavender.
Good idea. Thanks
I have a 10w D1. I use just enough coating that I can’t see stainless through it. Takes only 5 minutes to dry so no need to sit hours. I use 100-140 lines per CM. More it’s high detail. 100% power and 65mm/s speed.
cool
Of course the spray powder is going to look better than plain SS engraving. The powder solidifies when it is heated with the laser, because it is an add-on product that adheres to the surface. Whether it's black, blue, red, green, etc., it will be bolder than the plain SS because of the reflection that occurs when the laser hits a light in color surface.
Some folks don’t get it..
Can you do a cermark vs cold galvanizing compound video? I've had good results with cgc, but it doesn't stay nice and black for very long...a couple of months for my daily used coffee tumbler. Curious if cermark will stay black longer. Thanks for your videos.
The tumbler that I use has been done for probably 9 months and is used a lot. It stays really well
Great video! Question about the rotary tool.. I thought you had an xtool ra2? Was there a reason why you used this particular setup?
I only have the original rotary. Haven't made the jump to a RA2 yet. I have been able to do the jobs needed with the one I have. I may one day
@@TheClackShack no worries. Maybe xtool will send you one to review one day!
Hey Clack, thanks for the video, I got stuck with getting my text straight on the tapered tumbler, due to the curve of the tumbler, There is always a slight difference, do you know how can I change it? the setting of the lightburn or how should I put it on my rotary. and somehow I cant get a perfect circle on engraved on my mug as well.... If you might help me out would much appreciated!
Lots of math and some editing on the design. The shape of the canvas can make things look unaligned when they actually are.
@@TheClackShack thank you!!
Clack, Have you done these on your 20 watt? If so, What spped & power would you recommend to start for a dark burn. I dont want it too hot and warp the metal. I know the settings you used on your 10 watt.
I haven’t, I have done so many with the 10 that I just hate to change up. My 10 isn’t enclosed so it’s just easier
@@TheClackShack I did one tonight on a whim and used 90% Pwr and 55 mm/s and the outcome was OK, but I would have liked a darker outcome. I’m thinking the Dry Moly is the reason for the lighter transfer. The transfer was perfect otherwise. Thanks Dave for the reply!
Do you have a jig file for the Atezr KR pro chuck? I didn’t see it in your store.
Use the included squaring jig to set it correctly.
Have you ever tried to do something that is Chrome plated? such as a key chain.
On a fiber but not diode.. Will not work with diode.
What settings do you use one the 20w?
I use 120mm/s for anodized aluminum, haven't done any stainless with the 20 yet. I usually use the 10 for that just because my 20 stays busy cutting out designs.
What if you want a single color (other than cermark) logo on stainless?
You are limited to marking stainless or using a spray. Other sprays can work
Do you need to vent it when engraving bare SS?
I recommend always venting...
does ORTUR YRC1.0, Y-axis Rotary Chuck compatible with xtool laser engraver????
I can’t say for sure but with the right cables, it should work
@@TheClackShack thanks. ORTUR YRC1.0, Y-axis Rotary Chuck has better design than made by xtool Rotary Chuck
What is that thing you chucked into the mouth of the Cermark tumbler?
My weight that I use, A large socket
@@TheClackShack a very large socket! Thanks for the reply.
How about chalk board spray paint?
There are other ways but the results aren't as good to me.
What can a 20W do?
Cermark results would be the same with the right settings, bare might be a little darker but I doubt it. From my experience, that is about as dark as stainless gets. Too hot and the metal will actually start to sink in and pit. I figured that out on some thin stainless flasks.
Do you sell the tumblers? I want one!
I do sell them locally, I haven't priced shipping any. What design or engrave would you want?
So actually faster too. Using less power
Yes, The coating isn't indestructible but lasts for a long time with care.
I hear you reference "millimeters per second" as your setting. Do you actually mean per second or are you accidentally saying per second instead of per minute?
I use mm/s just as a preference. Just multiply times 60 to get mm/m.
@@TheClackShack cool, just wanted to make sure I was following correctly. Didn't want this to be another Cermark/cerakote slip of the tongue! Love your videos Clack!
