I’m really struggling to understand how to use the SN2.0 laser with real world objects that aren’t the thin plywood squares provided. I’ve seen tutorials and they talk about doing the calibration/autofocus (where you have the laser cut those scales into material and autofocus, etc) but surely we don…

I assume you read the other thread that gets into dithering and Lightburn? Haven’t tried painting tiles. I was going to suggest giving it a clear coat, but then saw you already did that. I have used dry moly lube (and sharpie) to etch glass. [IMG_4932] [IMG_4923] I’ve also tried using the las…

[image] ConsummatePro: It involves coating a white tile with some flat white paint, then burning with the laser, and at the end removing the paint with acetone, etc - this leaves a dark etched image burned into the tile’s surface. Snapmaker showed this method used on a ceramic mug and it work…

I tried using moly to mark some container lids for my wife. (Not sure if she’s going to fill them with soup or hot cocoa fixings.) Moly didn’t work but then I tried spray paint and that worked great: [IMG_5262] [IMG_5261] Just had to wipe off a little residue with alcohol. Need to be a little m…

Those lids look great! Can you clarify if the green background is the color you painted and the laser removed the ink? What laser settings did you use?

Green is paint. It was 100% at 400mm/m (I believe). Wanted to make sure but I bet I could run it at 1600 and still be fine. -S

Thanks to the help from users on this thread. I spent the last few days learning about tile burning and made a step by step posting on what I’ve done (I changed to Lightburn software rather than Luban): hopefully this helps others. I’m definitely still learning and barely know what I’m doing in Ligh…

wow! That’s gret result! So, you’ve just paint the surface with a green paint? Passing with the laser you get white color? I was supposed to get the original color before the green paint… mmmmhh

Paint was completely removed. It’s the silver of the lid shining through. Just looks white in photo. -S

Does anyone have a link to this video? I can’t find it on Snapmaker’s YouTube channel.

Check the kikstarter campaign page I belive it was part of a add about the rotary module there.
