AI Image to 3D Laser Engraved Brass Coin!
Вставка
- Опубліковано 20 чер 2024
- In todays video were doing a run through of generating an AI image, converting it to a depth map, and 3D (technically 2.5D) engraving it on to a brass coin. We will be using a new program called Depth-R to make the conversion. Lets see how it turns out!

LONG LIVE THE TUMEBER!
I had no idea that a laser could engrave to that kind of depth. Mind blown.
That coin looks neat.
It looks like the runes roughly translate to "remember to like and subscribe"
HAHA I think youre right!
Thanks a million times......just started with fiber laser. I have looked at 100 vids to get files that can be depht laser engraved......al of those vids were cumbersome and you cannot image how much software i had to use to get a result. This methode was straightforward and simple. Subscribed !
The AI only generated an image. All the work was done by the engraver and you! Very nice results though!
Awesome design!! Thanks for sharing the process!
Great instructions here on depth map engraving! New subscriber.
Looks incredible Justin nice work!
Thank you kind sir!
That’s a great idea, love it!
Cool detail. Like how you explain things and the detail setting. Gives me ball park where to start if I try this
Dang dude! That looks sick!
Awesome work! 🥰
You are a wealth of knowledge my friend! Great video!
Appreciate it dude love your stuff!
This looks awesome. Going to test this on wood, and if I succeed with this, I am going to think if I want to invest in another laserhead for my S1 to be able to work on brass etc. Really loving this. Thanks for sharing!
Great results actually.
Very cool. I know ex-airforce guys love their coin collections and will have small custom batches made for whatever club or event they may want them for. I could see that being a little niche to cover. Those are often painted as well. Great results on the coin you did!
Definitely a good idea!
Great look!
Thank you!
Looking Awesome!
Thanks Richard!
Great job. Looks fantastic!
THANKS for all the info on how you set it up and where you got the graphic, etc
Appreciate it!

Hi, there.
It could be done in a diode laser cnc with similar results using wood?
Thanks for the video.
DAMN!!! I love this!
on your tumber " laughed when I read that on my machine" I'm on my second. on the machine there is a setting with arrows in two directions... this is the best way to get great results. Vevor has them at a great price and any one who works in smaller metal pieces should get one. great vidi learn how much I don't know . thanks
I dont have a fiber laser butvthst was a cool video. Also learned about depthr. Thanks
Beautiful
Thanks!
The tumbler is great. I’ve used one for years. But store the pins and plastic bin off the tumbler. Over time they will magnetize and stop working as well.
Interesting thanks for the tip!
Just.... Woooooow !!! Soo coool !!!
Great video Justin. I will share on my Facebook group.
Awesome appreciate that!
wow thats sweet!
Thanks!
Hi Justin, awesome video! Is there another laser machine that you would recommend that can provide the wattage needed to do this type of engraving? Thank you for your knowledge and wisdom!
Sharp!
Looks awesome man great job! Do you usually leave the other half of the coin unfinished?
Imagine his grandkids as history buffs growing up thinking their grandpa was Thor and he left Asgardian currency on Earth!
Would love to have this in a 3D printing file!
Very detailed information. Thank you for sharing. If you had a choice, would you prefer having a different brand laser?
So far not at all. I keep in contact with the brand rep and also in a Facebook group with others that have the same machines. Great price for how quality the machine is.
Amazing!
I'm considering to buy one laser engraving machine, would sculpfun s9 be suitable or do I need one fiber laser to do depth engraving?
Nice work, pretty sure we have crossed in the FB groups, the magnetic tumbler looks familiar lol I'm trying to do similar videos but have no video and editing skills but i'll get there hopefully
Oh awesome! Yeah all the fiber groups blend together on the FB feed haha. You got it just film with your phone and clip things together its all people need.
@@justinlaser are you using obs to screen capture? we have the same laser i think 60w mopa?
Are you able to do something like this with the new F1 Ultra?
Looks wicked! how much for that piece of art?
That’s amazing!
My Fiber doesn’t have q-pulse and my frequency only ranges from 40-60..
Would this still be possible?
Looking at your settings for that cleanup pass.
Yeah should be no problem. Clean up pass is mainly fast speed and low power just to hit the dust.
Man what a recommendation from yt. Do you sell those? is any theme available? Make few to sell and sell them for dunno 20 dollars or euros? Those are awesome coins :D Love it! : O
👍👍👍
Awesome man! What would you increase the settings to for a 100w laser?
Honestly Im not sure. I guess you could run the speed a bit fast. I keep having issues running too much power and burning the metal so would need to deal with that.
I’ll try your settings and just let it run. “With great power comes great responsibility.” I think I could’ve just went with a 60, but got a 100w mopa for the same price.
boss relief
Would a 4" exhaust be suficient for the fiber laser or do do you need a 6"? Could you do a followup vid about your fiber laser? Im looking into purchasing one, but concerned about the low speed compared to competitor's speeds.
4" is probably OK maybe add a 6" adapter on the end to cover more space next to your project. I dont like to mess with metal dust I want it out of my area fast as possible.
I will be happy with 5:04
I may tweak my settings. If i do 256 layers on my current setup and do a double sided coin, it burns through. Maybe your settings will work better? I'll have to try it out.
hello cool video , I own a 50w fiver laser too I try recreating what you did and it is not working on my side , the are a few settings that don't show in my version oh Lightburn is it posible to go a more detail tk
Is it possible to get more depth for casting with same method?
30W that’s not that far off from the 20W on the Ultra. Was wondering why didn’t use the Ultra and to showcase it. Great video and setup by the way 👍🏼
This one is 60w so quite a bit more power. Im going to do something similar on the Ultra coming up in the next video or 2. I try to space them out so its not just an xTool all the time video channel.
can you do a video on a more affordable laser engraver that can ft that jobs ?
Do you ever plan to make these sort of things for sale?
I have been considering a fiber laser. What is the lowest wattage you can use to get the deepest or do most get 3mm deep and the higher wattage is just speed? I appreciate the simple tutorial.
start with a 50/60W.
Oh I'd love to 3D print this coin! Can you export it as an STL and share the file on printables or thingiverse? Please and thanks so much!
Can the xtool f1 ultra produce simillar results ?
Is this machine the best for engraving on metal? If not, what would you recommend? Can it engrave on other metals?
Yes this type of laser is the best for engraving metal. You can also get higher wattage of course just costs more money. You want a fiber laser.
@@justinlaser can it engrave on stones with uneven surfaces like Lapis lazuli etc??
will that work for a 3d print ?
Do you think that you could try making a hobo coin next with a secret function a la Roman Booteen?
Its a good idea. I tried finding a good hobo coin graphic but didnt like anything so far. They look awesome done handmade it would be cool to replicate.
I have a question: I was thinking about buying an xtool f1 ultra and I know it’s valuable because of its features. However, I saw machines (like from omtech) which is the same price but with a high wattage laser. (50W is like the price of the xtool f1).. which one is more worth buying?
Having used various lasers (Trotec, Universal, Epilog) for over a decade, I've also owned an Omtech (AF2820-60w) for about a year now and use it for our business. The machine itself is okay for your typical cheap Chinese model, but the customer service is horrible. If you are just using it for hobby stuff, then I would say an Omtech is fine. I would steer clear if you are trying to use it to start a business. Look at Thunder Laser; they are also Chinese-made, but customer support is better, and you can actually understand who you are speaking to. Their customer support is based in Texas. I looked at switching to Thunder because of this but haven't because our business requires heavyweight to be engraved 0-130 pounds in the machine, so I may be forced to upgrade to AP Laser and their open platforms. Hope this helps.
If you are just looking for a fiber laser to do metal things like I did in this video I would suggest going with as high wattage fiber laser as you can afford. The F1 Ultra is good for a versatility of materials but isnt the best choice if you want to specialize in metal exclusively.
I'm also interested in the F1 Ultra but I have the same question.
These MOPA Fiber Lasers are great for colors.
I wonder how the F1 ultra compare to them in frequence and q pulse.
I don't understand these settings full but will it ever be possible to engrave the same colors with the F1 Ultra?
Because it's no MOPA Laser.
Maybe with some software updates or is it even impossible?
Thanks for answers.
Currently you cant adjust Frequency with the F1 Ultra. Not sure if thats in the pipeline or not.
Can this be done with wood and a 10w diode laser?
No unfortunately a diode will not remove metal.
@@justinlaser ah, I should have clarified my question better. I was wondering whether this could be possible with wood as a material while using a diode laser.
how much did you get when you sold it
Havent decided if I want to sell them or not yet. They take close to an hour to run on each side Id have to find a clientele that values the price.
how did you get the AI account...I cant get it to allow me to join
You might still need to create a Discord account first. Once you make that you use it to login. At least thats how it was when I signed up.
DONT LOOK AT THE LASER ON MY SCREEN AIEEEEE
That coin looks to me to be brass plated copper so I think you ended up with a copper surface after the embossing.
I think I changed the color a bit with the increased frequency at the end. Bought the coins from a very reputable dealer Im sure they are good to go. I did have a brass plated steel coin not too long ago and got "stuck" at the bottom of the magnetic tumbler haha.
What do those sell for?
Havent put any up for sale yet. I wonder how coin makers price them since they take a while to complete.
@@justinlaser That's what I was thinking. Time and labor I'd say $30 would be a minimum
Great tutorial, the polishing and black brass process is cool, totally going to shout this process out in a future video.
Also how did you find out about that tumbler, didn’t know something that wasn’t for rocks existed!
Thanks! I saw someone mention it in a Facebook group and his coins looked incredible. 20-30mins and no hand cleaning? I was SOLD lol.
God help you if people in the military see this coin lol. They will beat down your door with bags of money to make challenge coins. Hell if I had a bag of money I probably would too. That coin is pretty dang sweet.
Viking warrior make own currency whogabrunga
Random meaningless text is perfect illustration of the "value" AI is adding to the world.
Except thats the part the human generated.
does that website even want to ffing sell lasers?
no prices.
no buy button.
i have to actually send them a contact mail to order a laser? the fck is this amaturistic crap?
Why do you use wax at the end? Does it help with rusting or something?
Wow so you just take actual art completely out of the equation
