    I can not tell you how much I appreciate the flashing light warning :)
    I'm an epileptic, and even though I'm not triggered by flashing lights, they still give me a headache. I don't think I've ever seen a warning like that on a regular youtube video.
    Again, thank you Peter :)

      I to am an epileptic and while I’m am not triggered by flashing lights either I find that it gives me bad headaches and really bothers my eyes. I generally try to look away or close my eyes when I see flashing lights. I don’t think that I’ve ever seen a warning like that in a UA-cam video before especially not one that was related to laser work were there should be one. That was very thoughtful of you Peter and I greatly appreciate it. Cool video, I would love to incorporate laser work into my woodworking but haven’t been able to afford a laser machine yet.

    Was the hot dog allowed to dry at all before the second attempt? I could see the juices either collecting on the surface and causing issues with refracting the light from the laser or conducting the heat away and preventing it from branding.

  • @helloimzane
    @helloimzane Рік тому +5

    With the hot dog, could the level of surface moisture have been the issue? When you first pulled it out the pack, the laser would have to work harder evaporating the water first before actually affecting the meat. After it sat for awhile and had a chance to evaporate some of that moisture, maybe it worked better?

  • @filmjim1
    @filmjim1 10 місяців тому

    The F1 is a great laser, I've had one for a while now. I paused video after first engrave and haven't read all the comments so someone else might have told you this.
    When doing an image like the first one on dark material, convert to B&W, and invert the image. And possibly use the IR beam. It will turn out much better.

    Seeing the hot dog test made me think back to Starship Troopers when they got their tattoos, and now I'm wondering how long until this tech is adapted for that. Yes it'd hurt like a brand, but it'd be quick as hell and more accurate/intricate than a person by hand. It also wouldn't be color like in the movie and more likely scar discoloration which still works.

  • @ares395
    @ares395 Рік тому +8

    Styropyro on YT does absolutely crazy stuff with lasers and he explains why a laser can blow holes in steel but not skin. I think it's in a video about an ebay laser. Btw the hotdog the second time is not as moist as the first time and probably closer to the room temperature and I cringed when the hotdog juice seeped into the mounting holes. Also a cool tool but I won't ever be able to justify spending this much money.

  • @lasermike2147

    When I worked at a print shop I did all the projects on the laser engraver. It was a lot of fun. If you get the settings right you can also cut vinyl, kind of like plotter, but obviously cooler because it's a laser.

    • @Azarathification
      @Azarathification 7 місяців тому +1

      Just a note, careful what vinyl you cut. Some are safe, PVC vinyl is absolutely not, for you or the machine, as it releases hydrogen chloride, which creates hydrochloric acid, corroding the machine.

    When your doing wood. I don't know if you know this yet but if you mist the wood with a water/borax mix then it will do a better burn on the wood for portrait engraving. Also for Shiney material I hear a sharpie first helps get the etch started.

    Any chance you could try the IR laser on different colors of resin?? Would love to see if the dyes/micas have any influence on its ability to engrave (blue diode cant do blue colors for example, since they don't absorb blue light)

    • @Azarathification
      @Azarathification 7 місяців тому

      Yep, they absolutely do have an influence. Blue diode lasers also have very bad results, using the IR setting with the F1 produced much better quality.

  • @mpm165

    I worked with my dad in his dental office the 1980s. We tested 1 of the first dental lasers for thr FDA. The laser would work on decay, but not bother healthy tissue. The 1 thing the laser would always respond to was the color black. At 1st my dad tried painting an area with black ink. If you truly wanted to tatoo a hot dog, I'd try painting it black, running water over it the entire time to keep it cool & keep the smell down. I wouldn't necessarily recommend it, but you'd probably have better results.
