    Thanks for the introduction to a great new tool!

    This is super cool, with more and more small scale fountain pen makers creating their own nibs something like this excites me for what the future may hold in that regard. I love to see the barriers to entry for such things getting made easier and this is definitely a laser engraver I'll be adding to my wishlist. Definitely hope to see more Doodlebud nibs in the future though hopefully not off centre next time 😂

    Hi! Thanks for the video. I want to ask: have you tried engraving on ebonite fountain pen bodies for now, after 5 months? How deep can the engraving be made? Could it resemble the notch on vintage Waterman's or Faber-Castell ebonite/hard-rubber bodies? Or better to look at the Laserpacker 2 with other wavelength of 450nm? Can Laserpacker 2 do engraving on a stainless steel nib like your?

      Just have to pay close attention to the settings for the material and keep notes so you can remember. Testing materials before engraving is the big step

    Time to bust out the cheap pens and practice nib engraving on those. It seemed like a tough undertaking getting it aligned on such a small area. Overall this is the most impressive engraver. If only they also had the desktop software to control laser power to get the color effects.

    Hey, just because you have one I think, but XTool has an IR engraving module. Not sure the specs, or if it is compatible with your frame, but I thought I would tell you.

    • @Doodlebud
      @Doodlebud  11 месяцев назад

      Yeah I've seen that laser head that can be added on to the XY stage style. It's good but a fiber laser is very different in how it works along with the method of laser movement (XY vs Galvo). xTool does have their F1 system which is a Galvo with dual lasers (IR & 455nm). I'm curious how that one compares

    • @galvanizeddreamer2051
      @galvanizeddreamer2051 11 месяцев назад

      @@Doodlebud Yes, for detail oriented stuff, I do agree that a fiber Galvo combo would be infinitely superior.
      And I agree, that would be interesting to check out. Way outside my budget tho (albeit, that's me being a cheapskate, not being broke).

  • @galvanizeddreamer2051
    @galvanizeddreamer2051 11 месяцев назад +1

    Does it accept G-code as an input? The LP4 supposedly does, so that should allow for difference in power within the same cutting session if you use an external program. (Albeit, I will admit, I don't know laser cutters, and I don't know the functionality of something like Lightburn.)

    • @Doodlebud
      @Doodlebud  11 месяцев назад

      For this one, as far as I know, it doesn't take in gcode from other applications. To do layers, you'd need to create seperate images for each unique layer you'd want to do. The run the correct engraving profile for each image.
