Tumbler engraving with Lightburn cylinder correction on a co2 galvo laser

- One of my goals from the last video was to get the co2 glavo working for tumblers. Brandt from Bearded Builds Co lives close by and volunteered to come work on it with me. We got lightburn installed and then played with the settings. We could probably fine tune them a little more, but I'm happy to report that it works.

I'm glad to hear you got the galvo working. It was a major game changer for us. Most of our tumbler work is two sided, and the galvo drops the engrave time from 8 minutes per tumbler in the gantry to under two minutes per unit. That's quite a time saver when an order can be 500+ units. I went with 60 watt and usually run my tumblers at 60 to 65 percent power. I'm using a 300mm lens and an 80cm tower, and am able to get about 2.75" (70mm) width or a bit more on most styles of drinkware. We have also migrated all of our other CO2 engraved products to galvo using jigs, as the production time is just so much faster.
now im interested in galvos!!
Thanks for the shout out!
Why not a rotary for customer supplied? Still gonna be pretty quick and not requiring a specific jig.
I don't have a rotary at this point and I'm trying not to do anything that is customer supplied.
@@ttmswith you on no customer supplied items.. might want to think about rotary to do full wraps though.
@@mikebogart3841 I will never do full wraps. They take too much time.
Would you share you speed and power for tumblers?
cannot find Garen's contact info
cannot find contact info for Garen
We have the same laser but have to use EZcad Lite because i cant get any power out of lightburn even with corfile but marks fine on EZCad. Can. you share the gear tab settings and speed? Thanks
Question, is your co2 galvo a fiber laser and are fiber lasers co2 lasers?
CO2 and fiber are different types of lasers.
@timetomakesomething does Garen have a new contact info
I could use Garens contact info also.
Why did you buy a co2 galvo for tumblers instead of a fiber galvo for tumblers?
Because the fiber lasers are made to mark metal. While you can remove powder coating with them, they are not the right tool for the job.
Hey! I’m just getting mine set up for Tumbers but I notice there’s frequency in Lightburn, what frequency are you using?
Just leave it at 20
Why not get a rotary?
Do you recommend Pi Burn for a rotary? Looking at options now.
Is this for a gantry laser? Pi Burn is a nice rotary, but for the money I really like the Mansfield Customs - ruclips.net/video/E48BgAUlIls/видео.html
I just got my laser! Same model as yours and honestly am struggling with speed and power. Any suggestions? I set it up using the config file on Garen’s USB drive but something is definitely still off. a lot of browning round engravings and the negative space within letters like e that doesn’t get engraved is definitely discolored
There is not enough information to help. Speed and power depends on the material and it's just a matter of playing with it until it's right. Join the Facebook group and there can be more of a conversation to help.
I need a laser - I want to expand to add pens and tumblers in house.
When will you be selling the templates?
I just released them today - printfam.timetomakesomething.com/jigs
@@ttms looks like the store is down - I cannot access it.
Engraving tumblers on the SlowForge only takes... A sledgehammer. :D
Just cut the bottom out
@@ttms Which would work great if there was cylinder correction built into their training wheels software.
your link to Caren isn't working
RUclips might be having trouble linking in because I just changed the DNS path. You may need to manually type it until they propagate properly www.timetomakesomething.com/my-lasers
the link to Caren is not working even when typed manually@@ttms
Willing to share your settings and what location on the tumbler you used to set the focus for cylinder correction?
Every machine and tumbler will be different. We keep adjusting the settings every day to try and make it better and better. We have currently damaged about 20 tumblers trying to get the settings right.
The yawns are back!! Knew I could count on at least 1..........................................................🤣😂🤣
You look like your in your own way, man comb your hair at least.
I am in my own way, and that's ok. I do comb my hair, I'm just going bald. Sad, but it happens.
Lol I beat you to the balding get some sleep
