I volunteered to make some glasses for an event. It’s quite a few of them but I have a month to make 120. First up, Chuck wasn’t capable of holding the glass. Measured the inner and outer diameter of the cup and measured the angle to determine the shape of the wedge I needed. I went to tinker cad a…

Thank you for sharing the step by step!

I had some issues where I was trying to laser faster than the rotary module supported. @Hauke gave me one solution with a nice chart. Bug: Luban allows faster speeds than the rotary module can accept - #6 by Hauke @Skreelink gave me a simple math equation: d x 3.14 x 7.5 = Max Speed in mm/min . …

Update. I’m about 50% done with the cups. I had to buy some more laser marking spray. I purchased OMtech black spray… it’s supposed to be for metal but it works real nice. :hugs: And about half the cost of LBT. Clean up was just washing off with soap and water.

Another update. The omtech spray is cheaper but doesn’t last as long as the LBT spray.

Now that is slick. Gonna have to try this. Is that laser marking spray better than just chalk paint? I have lasered clear acrylic with DecoArt Americana Decor Chalky Finish Acrylic paint. 8 oz jar for 8.99 at hobby lobby or Home Depot. Non toxic and cleans up with soap and water.

@Mads0100 do you have the STL for the pint glass adapter? :slight_smile: Thanks!

I think so. I’m at a lacrosse game. I’ll be home in a bit and send it to you.

Hey Mads, Wanted to let you know that the chalk paint worked with glass, probably not as effective, had to make multiple passes, but it is considerably cheaper for experimenting/prototyping. Definitely cool idea and your glassware looks great.

That’s great hipcheck! I’m glad it was helpful. Happy making!
