    Don't worry this isn't turning into a review channel. Please let me know if you have any ideas for how I can use this machine in future projects.

      Could you engrave metal with this? maybe you could make some cool engraved patterns on metal cups or something 🤔

      You could texture your parts if theyre small enough to fit in
      A co2 laser should be good on ali but I think brass and stainless need a separate diode. Dont quote me on that tho

      Yeah, test it for etching your company logo onto things you've made. Surely it works on metals.

    I love that you don't talk for the sake of talking on this video. It made it much cleaner and more satisfying to watch. I have no idea why some people think that you need to be talking or people will stop watching...

    I use my laser cutter when I'm casting custom coins. (turns out I cast a LOT of coins nowadays) It's super easy to make sandcasting masters with runners included and engrave the logos both sides (using the original sheet of material as a jig to align for the second side). It even kind of automatically adds a little draft when it cuts, so make sure the parting line is on the right side.

    • @robinson-foundry
      @robinson-foundry  10 місяців тому +1

      Wow cool suggestion! I'm going to seriously think about doing this. What material works best? I would think something like MDF or HDF would work well. Thanks!

    • @PyroForge
      @PyroForge 10 місяців тому +1

      @@robinson-foundry I like acrylic for coin blanks. The cuts turn out drafted and polished without any additional steps, and the engraving is predictable enough that you can even get pretty reasonable (shallow) 3D shapes out of it.
      I'll see if i can make up a quick reference video of my process.

    • @robinson-foundry

    Since you do castings, will you ever use this laser to cut and shape high density foam layers that could be glued together and manipulated prior to creating the petrochemical sand negative spaces? I’m seriously tempted to get on of these systems but before Covid my wife and I were sourced into retirement and we now are living on social insecurity. Wishing you and your family a blessed week filled with gentle seasonally appropriate weather and restful evenings. Enjoy your new too. Peace brother

    You can use it to etch your company logo onto things you've made. I'm sure these work well on metals for etching, right?

    • @robinson-foundry
      @robinson-foundry  10 місяців тому +1

      Good idea! These things cant even scratch metal. They can blast anodizing and paint off but that's about it. You can use something called Cermark to bake a ceramic coating onto metals and that works really well.
