does this tool mark the doc as AI? Also does your image go into a generalized AI database when you do this? I don't want my image to be sampled by AI and go into a generalized database.
I don’t think it does as it’s technically not an ai generator. Would probably be best got contact the site owner, he should hopefully be able to help 👍🏻
Free of charge... Not any more
What’s not free anymore? Imag-r?
Can you do a version showing it in photopea as I can't get the results in there :(
Sure, I’ll try and take a look at it for you and get something sorted 👍🏻
5.5w diode laser marks Stainless steel you just have to apply some black paint prior?
As far as I know it will not mark stainless. This is removing the paint from the stainless steel and just showing the metal where the paint has been removed 👍🏻
@@MARCAM I'm running an entry level Two Trees 5.5W laser next to this PC as I type, all you need to use is a Sharpie pen or some black spray paint onto a 2B stainless finish, you need to go very slow admittedly but it will engrave the Ink/Paint into the top few micron layers of the stainless steel. You'll have a better effect using a brushed No.4 finish. Then just clean the paint off using Acetone/Xylene mix etc. It leaves quite a solid engraving. (I run a 4KW Co2 at work for a living, 25 years experience and this diode laser is fun to learn).
@Eschelonistic ooh now this sounds like something I will have to try out! I was recently given a 10w to test (recent video that I’m also giving away) and that marked stainless steel by itself. Its a fun little machine for doing little projects with metal 👍🏻
@@MARCAM 10W will do it easily and a lot faster, be interested to see your results. Not viable running the 5.5W as it's painfully slow (200-300mm/min) but for a one off here and there it does the job. Messing with frequencies and pulse rates on a 4KW machine is killer, half the time you can read the engraving on the back of even 3mm thick SS if your power ramps just a little off. Much prefer diode for the ease of control over the power, fun toy so far!
@@MARCAM ruclips.net/video/vdfPB-3avds/видео.html This be my Toy at work (Or Prima Platino 1530 4KW) if it is Region restricted (600 holes per min/ 1mm thick metal anything).
how can I do that in Photoshop
Photoshop has a lot of tools and ways to do something similar but nothing I have found that works as well. The reason it’s down with the website and Inkscape is to make it a vector. You could follow the tutorial and export it to png to then import into photoshop?
You were sent by the Angels z👍🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
😇
Great video! Does the paint completely stop the light shining through? I'd love this effect if you could still have it backlit. Lots of cool ideas come to mind. Thanks 👍
The light was only stopped when adding a good few coats of black to the back. Before that light passed through the same colour as the paint 👍🏻
@@MARCAM that makes sense! Appreciate the response 👏
Use a white board marker
Does that really work? I’m sure I have one laying about. I’ll give it a go 👍🏻
RF or CO2 and what size(s) do you have. thx
This is with co2 and it’s a 60w tube 👍🏻
Great tips!!
What kind of tint did you use? From what I’m seeing, there is a particular type of film I have to use on acrylic, otherwise it will ruin the acrylic over time.
I use PET film. It’s great as it comes in many colours but it’s also laser safe
@@MARCAM thanks so much!
Would this work the same with cardstock? Im hoping to cut through it.
I don’t think using something like paint would help cutting I’m afraid. Does a diode not cut through card stock? I don’t think I’ve ever tried that myself.
Nice job! Looks really good.
Thank you :)
Manythanks
Your ceiling looks like my grandfathers he had in a house built over 100 yrs. Ago in West Texas.
Mine is a fake foam type of tile I installed to cover my bad job of using plasterboard to build a room inside of my workshop 😂 I can imagine the one in your grandfathers house being made from a real craftsman back in the day and looking a lot better in person 😊
Haha.. you lost me halfway through and I counted at least 50 clicks
If you got lost halfway through I’d recommend going back to the beginning and starting again. It is as simple as upload and clicking go. If you want to make them look any better though then you’ll have to actually put some time in and learn a bit more of something like Inkscape.
You can also go to your settings in the upper right hand corner of this video and slow down the speed from normal to about .75
How long to leave the resin in the boiled hot water
I tend to leave it in there about a minute, shake out the bubbles and dip again. Shouldn’t take more than 3 or 4 dips 👍🏻
Thanks
vectordad is not available do you any other website ?
Check it again. I think their servers may of gone down for a bit. Seems to be back online now 👍🏻
I want it. But I'll wait for black friday.
What type of paint are you using?
I always use just a simple acrylic paint. It’s cheap and applies very well 👍🏻
you could try frisket (artist quality) masking paper instead of protection sheet of the plexi. Frisket is used in airbrushing, and the quality of the lines will be extra sharp.
Thanks for the tip! I’ll have to check that stuff out for sure 👍🏻
Gr8 Video!! Thank you for taking the time to share with your audience. Just curious if you used greyscale to engrave or to mark the slate or perhaps a 3D Slice like Lightburn? trying to figure out if the grey image that you created was used as a depth map or height map for the engraving on a 2D level.
Thank you for watching :) The image was just created as a 2d flat image with plenty of variations with blacks, whites and greys to try and get as much detail from the laser and the slate as possible to give it that “faux” 3d effect 👍🏻
Sir what is svg file ?
Svg is the format you save it out for a vector file
Thanks for the giveaway review, hope you do more. :) Could you make a video at some point about the sort of money you can make and ideas about what to make from using tools like this engraver, and/or any free software that are useful too? How to use it? Thanks
No worries :) And you must be a mind reader because I am literally making that exact video now 😂 Should hopefully be edited and up in the next week or so 👍🏻
👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
I am a Bamboo Artist. I would love to work with this laser engraver and also review it with my art projects. Hope I win this.
I just started using a laser at a local maker shop. This one looks very capable for small projects!
don't know if i'm only one but even with volume turned up to max i had a really hard time hearing what you was saying. otherwise cool laser kit.
Not the only one to mention this 😅 I really need to check the mic settings along with the plugin settings I use to adjust the audio. Sounds fine to me but probably because I know what I’m saying 😅
You're not the only one.
I love this video! What a great laser! I've been looking to get into the hobby and this looks like to perfect laser to get started with.
Some really cool engravings at the end there! I really struggled to hear what you're saying though, even after raising the volume!
You’re not the first person to say that. I always check the video on the pc when editing and again on my phone and always sounds good to me. Maybe I’ve got really sensitive hearing 🤷🏻♂️ I’ll have to edit it louder than I think needed on my next video 👍🏻
@@MARCAM If you think it's loud enough, methinks you must have some bat genes! ;-) Jokes aside and not knowing what editing s/w you're using, there should be some VU meter type of thingy, and maybe a 'normalise' function for the audio track in most of them. Look after these sponsored videos! ;-)
@zpinkLondonBelow 😂 yeah the dodgy Welsh accent isn’t the best. My editing skills are not the best, especially with audio. I should really look into it at some point
@@MARCAM I lived in Wales for 10 years or so, just a mile over the border, but still in Wales, so it's not the accent. hahaha I guessed it wasn't your favourite thing to do, hence I hinted that there may be a 'normalise'. Which is basically lifting the loudest peak to 0dB. Of course, if there are many such peaks, the RUclips or any other algorithms will punish you by lowering the volume, but that shouldn't be the case with a video like this. You can aim at having the peaks at -1dB or so, one would imagine....
@zpinkLondonBelow greatest country on earth 😜 I usually just use a plug-in built into the editing software and allow it to adjust the audio automatically. I’ll have to look into the normalising of it all. Spent a fair bit of money on a good mic so the least I can do 👌🏻
Nice job Marc!
Look like a cool starting machine to get used to lazering I had one years ago but would only just cut through a single sheet of paper how things have changed ,great video by the way
Oh wow. That was so much easier than I thought it would be. I was a fairly advanced photoshop user for 15 years, and I managed to completely avoid the pen tool that entire time. I did really need it for the work I did, but I'm sure there were situations that it would have made easier. I just gained a lot of confidence in twenty minutes. Thank you.
Thank you very much. Glad it helped you out :) I was in the exact same boat. Always avoided using it in photoshop because of how impossible it always seemed to get it to line up just right. The pen tool in Inkscape is so much more user friendly I find and can use it without any problems.
website name plsss
Should show in the video and also in the video description 👍🏻
That’s really cool
Cool 😎 I have a 5W Laser I’m going to do this
Hope it works out well for you too 👍🏻
@@MARCAM hay thanks me too 😃
Excellent
Seems like a useful idea for pet tags with a contact or map link.
Now that’s a great idea! Think I might have to give that a go 👌🏻
But is it ok for the laser cutter to cut through the film that is stuck to the acrylic? Isn't it made of vinyl or something that can harm the laser lens when heated? Doesn't it pose a health hazard as well? Or is it made of something completely different?
It’s usually made from polyethylene which is safe to laser. Most companies will use this to protect their acrylic as people will laser cut items and leave this film on to help protect against any scratches.
I'm just starting out in laser engraving so absorbing as many videos as I can and whilst I like your concept there is a much easier and much cheaper way of doing this. I'm well versed in silhouette studio my bread and butter is printing everything from clothing to stickers and the simple way to do this is create the Svg cut the acrylic out then print and cut a sticker to go on the acrylic.. not picking faults I'm enjoying your content I just saw an easier solution :)
Thanks for the input :) You are right, that is a much easier way and it’s something I wouldn’t mind trying in the future. I think I’ll need to invest in a vinyl cutter though to be able to cut out the stickers property 👍🏻
@@MARCAM ah no problem I hope you don't think I was being negative I used the silhouette cameo 4 it's a brilliant machine and the software is free for the basic edition I have the business edition. The only downside with the basic edition it will let you load an Svg but won't re-save as an Svg so you would have to make the design in light burn or xtool etc then load it in to silhouette studio :)
@CraftedCustomCreations great stuff thank you. I design all my stuff in Inkscape so could probably just get away with the free version. I’ll have to check it out for sure 👍🏻
When using greyscale, you need to set both max and min power. Otherwise it is all done at max and you wind up with a mess.
nice, thanks bro 👍
Looking good man. Glad 3D effect came out. Never tried a mirror. Could be a little earner. Must remember to "mirror" no pun intended, any text used in future products, Cymru am byth backwards might not work😊 Recently returned from trip to Carmarthen with several kilogram of slate coasters....busy busy.
Cheers 👍🏻 It turned out so much better than I thought. Didn’t think the 3d effect would work on mirror. They are such cheap mirrors too. Just £1 each so easy to make profit on 👌🏻 Nice little haul then! That will definitely keep you busy for sure!! I need to do more slate projects soon!
Please do make the frame on camera for us to enjoy!
Will do! I think having the mirror back lit will look so cool.
That looks absolutely boss, Sir! When I end up buying my laser and wifey-thingy may object, I will deffo blame you! ;-)
Thank you 😊 If the wife is anything like mine then they will definitely complain and every little thing you make 😂
@@MARCAM Hahaha, I don't tend to be told off very severally, she buys a load of arty farty stuff too!
Just find something cool to make for her.
Lucky for some turn 😅 To be fair, I do make A LOT of random stuff and take it home so sometimes she does have a point.
@jenniferv6429 well I’m hoping my next project I make will win her over a bit. It’s going to be a good one 😉
Whats the price of these compared to the last generation of mira 5?
I’m not too sure but can check with the manufacturer. Looking at the US website that gives prices for an idea, looks like the Mira 5s is roughly £5,500 and currently the standard 5 is about £4,500
Hi Marc... nice job. If u put 2,3 different color layers on the tile and you play with the speed and power settings, you can create nice colorfull pictures.
Now that’s a bloody good idea! I’m trying that today!! 👌🏻👌🏻
@@MARCAM unfortunately i cant send fotos here... i have dozens of different projects that i could show you...
@suplex3987 sweet. There’s an email on my about me part on here. Feel free to drop some over 👍🏻
whats the mixture ratio for baking soda & hot water?
I honestly don’t measure it. Just pour a good amount in and stir it up. I’d say 2 teaspoons to a pint would be a good amount though 👍🏻
