These are very cool, I like how you can custom make whatever you want instead of buying what the store happens to stock, and these are very professional looking, I like how you took the time to get them perfectly centered, a detail that eludes some.
Thanks, Colin ... let me know if you want some.
Glad I found your channel. Your videos are very well done. One of the better channels on YT for laser howto.
Thank you and thanks for watching!
Those look great. Thanks!
You're welcome!
Great video. Great tips.....thx! Fun hobby....I'm obsessed!!
Glad you enjoy it! Thanks for watching!
Thanks. Nice video!
You're welcome 😊
Nice bro...
Thanks for watching!
Thin your paint a bit with water. You might need a second coat, but the finish will be much nicer.
Thanks for tip and thanks for watching!
@@MakeTechCreate Thinning your paint with water is for acrylic paint only, of course.
Very cool! What kind of paint did you use? Can spray be used? Instead of cork, I would use mdf.
P.S. Is it possible for you to share the file you used to make the Plastic Template? Thanks
I've been looking at the 2.5 and the 5. This isn't bad at all. 👍🏽
I just need to engrave A3 and A4 wooden books.👌🏽
2 for one deal...
Coasters and frisbee's 🤣🤣🤣
Ya, for the price, they're nice machines.
If you're looking mainly for cutting, get the 5w, for engraving the 2.5 is better.
Also, you'll what to add an air assist as it will give you deeper, cleaner cuts.
@@MakeTechCreate
Awesome, appreciate that.
Cheers mate 👍🏽
How durable are these coasters? Do they smudge when they get wet.
Where do you get the coasters from?
On the un painted coasters, how deep is the engraved part of the coasters? Is it noticeably burnt down in slightly or is it completely flush with the non-engraved part and smooth?
It's not deep but you can feel the engraving. Cork seems to be hard to get a deep engraving into.
I’m new in the world of laser engraving/cutting, what’s that net and what recommendations you have for a newbie like me?
There's a lot of different machines available these days. It really depends on whay you want to engrave or cut.
@@MakeTechCreate i bought the txool d1, I want to buy a mat or something that I can use as a base, like a self healing mat (I’ve seen several people using those) or like in the case of this video, a special metallic mat (or something like that), would you guide me about it?
Do you have a video of burning multiple coasters at a time with the same logo?
Sorry, no, but that's easy enough to setup in a program like Lightburn. I'd cut a plywood jig to hold them all in the same place every time.
I know you time-lapsed through those. But about how long do those take on an average?
About 15-30 minutes with a 2.5W Diode laser. A good CO2 laser would greatly decrease the time, though. Thanks for watching.
@@MakeTechCreate I agree. I have a Co2 and it takes about 2 mins. per coaster
I wanna learn how to laser engrave coasters. Where can I get bulk coasters like this?
Amazon......30 coasters for $9.90
did you cut the perfect circle by yourself?
I just bought the blank coasters at discount at my local dollar store
Anyone know of any books one might read to learn about laser cutting?
I'm not aware of any books.
Most people learn from RUclips videos and Facebook groups.
Thanks for watching!
Can you legally sell those? Or do you just give away to friends and family?
Personally, I don't sell any of them. I just give them out as gifts, like you said.
Where do you find the files you load into the program??
For these coaster I just used raster images I found online and imported them in T2 Laser.
Thanks for watching!
what laser do you use?
I used a 2.5 watt Elesklaser in this video.
But I'm running a 50watt CO2 laser now.
Hi. whats is your laser name and model? Thanks
It a 2.5 watt EleksMaker Elekslaser A3. Thanks for watching!

Don't forget to soak the cork first!
Why? Genuine question
