I forgot to mention that your videos are clear and good and I'm watching one by one and repeating again. You are kind and unselfish in telling hobbyist like us what to do which safe much time testing and testing. I've been doing test engraving ceramic for sometime now using different methods and will try again this weekend using Rust Oleum spray paint which I bought. Thank you.
Thank you very much for the kind words.
Merci pour tous ces explications, les résultats sont excellents, bravo.
Another fine project. Thanks for the video and instruction.
Thank you. I appreciate you watching the video. I’m happy to do these videos for everyone’s enjoyment
Another excellent video and fantastic results. You even got a mention from Ritch, that would have made my day :) You are now on my favorite RUclipsrs list for Laser Diode Machines. Keep up the great work and I look forward to your future projects from the Land Down Under.
Thank you very much. I appreciate your comments and watching and learning
Looks awesome, keep up the good work. I love watching your video’s.
Thank you so very much
Love this video, very informative and has helped me out a great deal!!! I have watched lots of your videos and all i have watched are great... I would not be able to do a lot of things if not watched and learned from you!! So a big THANK YOU from Chris in the UK.....
Thank you very much. I really appreciate your support and I’m so glad that my videos are helping you.
Love this video! Thank you!
You are so welcome! Thank you very much for visiting my channel
Just got my S10 today. Looking forward to trying this. Thanks PawPaw :)
Awesome! Congratulations! Hope to see your results
WOW! This is AMAZING! Thank you for these videos. I would like to see more using laser engraving. I have the M1 on the way. Can't wait to do this!
Awesome! Thank you very much
Well, I tried the method you showed. The results were good. Thank you for the clear and precise directions.
You’re most welcome. I’m glad that it worked for you. That’s great to hear
Thank you very much for being patient with your video.
You’re very welcome. Thank you for watching
Thanks for the great video!
You’re welcome. Thanks for watching
I just did a star wars calendar on my CNC. (And a marvel). I really liked the millennium falcon tile. That’s gonna make me try the Norton tile method right there. Thanks for this video!!
Awesome! Thanks for watching
well you got me hook. Only been doing new adventure for a few months. Great video.
Awesome! Thank you! Congratulations
Great results... I have the Xtool D1 Pro 20W... if you would save me a tile and a test pattern, could you tell us what laser wattage you were using with the 60% power and 500mm per minute, please?
Thanks Paw Paw I was just about to start one. I used the primer so will see if it comes out as black .
Flat works well also. I currently am using gloss only because that’s what I have on hand. Thank you for watching
Good info
Thank you very much
Hi Paw Paw, i am going to follow your prior video on the Norton Method. I have been working on my CNC for some wedding projects. I have a project to create tiles for a twentieth anniversary. I cannot wait to get this going. Thank you so much for the two videos. I will let you know how this goes for me.
Thank you very much. I look forward to hearing about your results
Yes these videos were great I would love to see a breakdown of different power writings and things of that nature is far speed for materials such as ceramic would medals that kind of thing I think would really help enhance other things to happen instead of relearning these things that people already know
Good tips, thanks. I subscribed too!
Awesome! Thank you very much
Iam fairly new using a laser i have the xTool D1 and i am using my own photography wildlife and other photos for placing on the tiles using the methods you show in this video. i am not really understanding the photo adjustments. my photos are high resolution and i would say need little adjustment in photoshop. however what are we looking for in adjustments for laser engraving on tiles. i have run some photos but some have been to dark and others too light. so what am i looking for in the adjustment? or is it the speed and power used.
you dont happen to have a video on adjustments to photos
Great video! I've noticed a little mistake you made in the picture editor. You set the "Enhance Radius" up and saw nothing changing and then set it back at zero, after that you upped the amount and saw again nothing happening. These 2 settings work together, the amount is the amount radius.
Neat process. Any chance of getting the files to try these?
They look good.
Excellent video thank you, can you still get the same results on a diode laser?
These were all done with a diode laser
Just odered my first laser and I'm going through 'A LOT' of vidoes and I've been watching your videos on the white ceramic tiles. They came out awesome. Have you tried this method on other tile colours? Maybe light colours that contrast well with black.
You can use colored tiles with the same process
I have the same Laser and engrave tiles with a speed of 2000 and a power of 80% (254dpi) - works much faster with phantastic results.
To prepare, I use Titandioxid, mixed with Isopropanol in a spray bottle. For speed drying I use a heat gun - ready to engrave in 5 minutes. After engraving, clear the tile under water and enjoy 🙂 regards from Germany
Thank you very much for the information. I have some titanium oxide to do some tests. Just can’t get to it quite yet. I appreciate you giving me this information
@@PawPawsWorkShop I'm excited about the result. Mixing ratio Titan/Iso 1:2
Anyone know the best settings for an Xtool 10w to do these Norton White Tile methods? Btw, awesome video PawPaw! 👍
*Excellent video Paw Paw!* You're becoming an expert! I like to use crosshatch and 150-200dpi to save time. But these came out great!
Thanks, you already are an expert. Lightburn and you are one in the same. I am planning on adding a camera. It should be fun
@@PawPawsWorkShop You'll never go back!
I'm new to the laser engraving world(Sculpfun S10), and watching your videos has helped me immensely. I've learned so much in a short time, you always explain everything clearly and fully. I love that storm trooper image! I've found the falcon but I have searched and searched and can't find that image. If you could find it in your heart to share a link to it I would be very grateful. Again, thanks for all the videos.
I’ll check to see if I still have the image. Welcome to laser engraving. Thanks for visiting my channel.
@@PawPawsWorkShop I love the channel. Just found you and I'm already subscribed. Keep up the great content! And thanks for checking for the images.
Great job like always! If you make the image a few mm larger, it'll do a full bleed engrave eliminating the white outside border. Care to share that cool image?
Yes, you are correct. These images can be found by doing a Google Search
Nice video PawPaw will follow along the video soon on another note do you have the site for the Millennium Falcon image I have been hunting all over the place with no such luck...Cheer Merlin from NZ....
I used Google search to locate the images I use. Include FREE and always check for copyright information
Once you add a mask you can move the image around the frame, once you are then happy with the position, right click and flatten the image. It’s then locked in position.
Yes, you are correct. Thank you
Great video. I can't figure out how to engrave a photo on to 3mm plywood. Im using xtool d1 10 watts
Don't matter wht settings i use keeps carving into the wood. Can u advise
I am having issues engraving photos on plywood coasters, just can not get any detail at all
Hey Paw Paw...great video!! I really love Star Wars!!!! Question...I see you using the Sculpfun S9 laser...is this one your new favorite? I am looking at the XTool D1 and the Sculpfun...I'm not sure about the Fox Alien...any suggestions would be great!
All are great lasers. The xTool D1 is outstanding however, you must learn how to effectively use the red cross hairs. It’s definitely different from other lasers. The FOXAlien with the 40 watt laser is very similar to the Sculpfun S9. I do find that the focus on the S9 is a little better
Bonsoir
Quelle machine utilise tu ?
Quelle puissance de laser pour pouvoir régler sur la mienne
Merci
I noticed in your first example, you had set up LightBurn so that laser was scanning on quite an angle, not simply straight across the tile. Was there any advantage to doing that? Thanks
It a visual thing only. The angle helps to trick the eye
Paw paw, I know you said 500mm/min 60% power.. But on what wattage laser? 5w? 10w? I'm ready to try this😁
I am using 7w Chinese version using 100/100 and the image is great but smudges and does not penetrate the tile. Any suggestions?? I prepped the tile as you demonstrated
Beautiful! Going to try with my M1
Awesome!
@@PawPawsWorkShop btw does lightburn work with the M1?
Sheer excellence as per usual, Pa'! Wondering... do you think we could accomplish the same results on the Laserpecker 2?
Not sure but it does sound like an interesting experiment
Surprise (impress) us! 🤞💪
Great job can you do a family photo on tile? Would love to see what all you have to do
Yes you can
Thank you for your reply
What’s the height of the laser off the title?
Buenos días Paw desde España, aunque soy nuevo en esto, sigo tus videos y me gustaria aprender este metodo.
veo que primero limpias el azulejo con acetona y despues pintas con pintura blanca los azulejos?
me podrias confirmar si es pintura blanca acrilica brillante? o que tipo de pintura es.
gracias y un abrazo desde España
The paint must have titanium oxide in it to work. In the US, Rustoleum white or Smokey beige works well. Many of the litter colors have titanium oxide in them. So, the color is not the most important element.
Hi Paw Paw, I am going to pickup some tiles and try this. Would this same method work on corian? I have a bunch of that lying around.
No corian is a different material. You can carve it
Great video but im new to laser engraving and are not sure about my power settings. How powerful is your laser and is speed and power scalable to other lasers?
All lasers are different and you must do test grid with your laser to get the correct settings
Love watching your videos. I notice your engraving look black, I keep getting a grayish color. Any ideas on what might be the issue?
It could be the paint that you are using. Also, try slowing the feed rate.
Do you enable "constant power mode" in Lightburn for this?
No, I typically do not
Which sculpfun laser (laser power) were you using? Could you provide a specific link to it?
This is the S9. The link is in the description
@@PawPawsWorkShop Thanks. I hadn't gone down to the Amazon links.
Has anyone done this on an xtool D1 pro 20watt? I can’t seem to get the settings right.
Run a test grid to get the best settings. Yes, you can definitely do this on a the xTool D1 pro
is a 2.8w laser powerful enough to doo this or do i need a 5.5w laser?
It may work just go slow and you will need to be near full power
I'm unable to find Rust Oleum paint here so I was wondering would the spray paint by ABRO Industries, Inc. work?
Check with the manufacturer and find a paint with titanium oxide as an ingredient.
@@PawPawsWorkShop Will do. Thanks a lot
Hi great video and thanks for sharing. Do have a ? Can i buy this design from you . Really like it it's too kooool . Thanks
The design can be found on a Google search for free
Thanks
Does it have to be Rust-oleum paint? So very expensive here.
No, you need a paint with titanium or titanium oxide
Do the tiles you choose to engrave have to be glazed, or will plain unglazed tiles work?
Yes, they must be glazed
@@PawPawsWorkShop Thanks PawPaw
Im having trouble getting a Darker finish. Only thing ive noticed Is I only do a light Vertical coating of paint not a Vertical and Horizontal..? Could this be it? I will prep some tiles and try again tomorrow.
The titanium oxide is what the laser is reacting to when it burns.
@@PawPawsWorkShop The coating was my issue, just finished several tiles following you %100 this time and the coating was where I failed. These are perfect now. Thank you PawPaw
What watt do you have? I have a 10W and it didn’t come out like yours 😢
I have the 20 watt and also a 40 watt laser
Looks great. I noticed you didn't flatten the image. Why didn't you flatten the image?
I try in my videos to keep it simple as I possible can. Thanks for watching
What settings did you use paw paw?
500mm/min and 60% power
Do the images need to be a particular format such as png or jpg
The images need to be changed to svg to carve or burn
Whats the benefit of using the 20degree scan angle?
It’s a visual thing. It actually tricks the eye into not seeing the lines as easily.
@@PawPawsWorkShop thanks for the reply, and I can see how that would work. Will try sometime!
I'm trying to figure out why this method didn't work for me? I used exactly the same stuff. White ceramic tile, acetone and the same rustoleum paint. My laser is a co2 glowforge pro.
I am wondering why the text at the top of the last tile did not burn very well?
The reason was my fault. The paint was thin and the text was very small and thin
Why no air assist?
I know that a lot of people do not have air assist. They need to see how it works as well
Trying to set up a .jpeg picture on a 6x6 tile...when I try to do the MASK, it is grayed out, even though I have the pic selected. Any ideas? I am using my D1Pro 40 watt, and I am VERY new at this. Trying to put an image of my Mom in law on the tile for her daughters...
I finally got it figured out!! Duh, way too easy. Thanks for all you do...
Tried it on a glowforge . Doesn't really work ? do you know why ? Thank you
You will need to adjust the settings
Glow forge is a co2 with a 2 inch focal length. He's using a diode. It has a small dot size that's why it took him 3 hours. A co2 could do it in no time but the resolution is gonna look bad unless you have your dpi perfect. 318 is what will probably give you the best result.
My first attempt failed..I edited the image in imagr and imported in lightburn with passthrough but the image came out grainy to like yours. What did I do wrong?
I would look at the dpi to start with. Also what style are you using? Newspaper will be very graining. Ditter is commonly used
@@PawPawsWorkShop I think it was a imagr error..on my phone it automatically defaults to old not Norton so when I clicked on white tile it wasn't right. It says in the description gives a cartoony type pic..I'll test my theory tomorrow. Thanks for the help. I still can't figure out why my color test tiles are all coming out grey though. One thing at a time
Cant get my laser to engrave my tile what am I missing?
In GRBL do you have $32=1?
😀👍👍👍👌
Thanks for watching. I appreciate it so much
cant you just resize the image to 4.25 x 4.25 so you can have the whole image?
Yes, you certainly could do that if you wish
What would be the Laser box settings?
I don’t use Laser box. You will need to do some basic testing
I thought you were supposed to spray tile black and then laser of the paint? You didn't want
No, you need the titanium oxide that is in the white paint for this technique to work
3 hr. engraving time. THERE IS NOT ANY PROFIT IN THAT.
The only way to profit is in volume and you must be working on other projects while engraving. You must maximize your time.
Use titanium oxide it's a lot better and less mess just wash it under the tap. Use IPA 50/50 mix U won't look back
I just got some. Have not done video yet
It's really good 50/50 mix with IPA don't worry about spraying it on a bit heavy it will work. Just be careful because the titanium oxide comes off easy.
