In screen printing context an emulsion is a light sensitive solution, and you don't use that if you aren't planning of using an acetate print to transfer the design, for lasers you use Liquid Masking Fluid or Latex or Acrylic paints, oil paint, anything that does not react with your ink. If you use emulsion, you need to cure it after drying.
I don’t know if this is good to do or not, but I never use my broiler so when I made some screen printed tote bags, I put them in my broiler to cure them and it seemed to work. This was after they were completely air dried. Maybe it’s a bad idea. I don’t know, but it worked for me.
Your video production quality is.. 2nd to none! also thank you for going beyond the basics and explaining how to reclaim the screens and optimize the processes!!!!
@@ChadsCustomCreations the hard work really shows :) and thank you too for linking the supplies in description. Xtool better put you on the Xmas gift list! hahah you answeerd more questions on 1 video than many in 3 months of reviews
I Want That! I am a new viewer, I just came across your video and I am amazed at the competitive advantages of screen printing. I have been doing vinyl and ordering DTF transfers but have now started learning screen printing because I believe this is the most economical and beneficial way to achieve success in this business. I love how your content includes things that didn't go well at the beginning but you continued to work at it and got better. That is real. Also, you content is the first I have seen that shows how to reuse the screens for optimization. I look forward to watching more of your content. Thank you.
I want that!!!! Awesome idea for the clocks. Sometimes clocks are like cars, There's a butt for every seat, you just have to find the right one. Clocks are like that, you have to find the right person for that clock. I've not screen printed and have wondered how it works, nice explanation and the reuse of screens is awesome!
I want that!!! I'm very new to laser engraving in general and I've watched a few of your videos now and they have helped me get in mind exactly what it is that I'm wanting to do with it so that it pays for itself, and if I'm lucky enough it'll pay for future upgrades as well. keep doin what you're doin and I'll keep watchin. thanks for everything that you've shared!!!
I want that! I’m in my 30s trying to shift my life to focus more on my creativity. I work an office job which is soul crushing…so in my free time I’m going to start prepping my own creative business…finally! Thank you for the informative, honest and inspiring video!
I want that! Just getting into screen printing as a business and this is exactly what I need. Also, I appreciate you answering all the questions I had about it, especially if they were re-usable. All the best to you!
Great video and I’m actually waiting for my Xtool screen printing kit to get here any day now. I’d be interested to see another video on you reapplying the emulsion and using the screens again in a more detailed video and the results. Thanks and keep up the great work.
Screen printing your boxes really adds a profesional touch to your overall business presence. • And, great for advertising! • And, a possible income stream, if done for other businesses
I want that. My wife and I are starting up a new business and there is SO MUCH to buy, snd this would be perfect to integrage with all of the equipment we need. Thanks for all the tips and a great video!
I WANT THAT! I've been doing heat press t-shirts for a year now, I started small & I LOVE and have fun with it. I have always wanted to get into screen printing, but as you said, it required a lot of stuff and space, and my small room doesn't have the space, just enough for me to do heat press. A week ago I happened to watch Laser Engraving 911 testing print on the Xtool which got me really excited! This is possible to fit in my room. But it's out of my budget as I also need to get a laser engraving machine. Anyway, just trying luck, and will work my way to level up and learn more skills. Thank you for your sharing and inspire me to think outside of the box and be creative! Keep up the good work
I want that! been helping my wif.e with her small business and it has really motivated me to begin my own business in the craft industry , and a lazer screen printer?! the possibilities are endless
I want that! actually was looking at getting the s1 because its upgradable and has the option of the screen printer I was wondering if it could be used on other projects besides shirts so really great seeing it work on your clocks.
The S1 is great still my top recommendation for someone gettting into lasers. Thank you for watching sadly this giveaway has already ended, but I am giving away a 10w laser if you would like to join in the details are on my last video.
I want that! I did screen printing way back in MS. Haven't taught it though, this would be great for my High Schoolers to learn about and do. Keep it up Chad!
*I WANT THAT!!* I absolutely love this video! You've really piqued my interest with the screen printer-what an incredible piece of equipment! As someone who became partially paralysed 10 years ago, my career in sports photography had to take a backseat. But, in the meantime, between surgeries and adapting to new challenges, I've been slowly building a home studio equipped with lasers and 3D printers. My goal is to create a thriving home business, even from my wheelchair, to show my daughter that we don't give up when the chips are down. Creating personalised packaging would be the perfect addition to the specialist baby-scan products I make for expectant mothers, as well as for those who have faced the heartbreak of loss. I combine my photography and editing skills with my personal experiences-both grief and the joy of a rainbow baby-to create beautifully engineered pieces that offer a sense of permanence, something that hospital photos often can't provide. I truly admire the time and effort you've invested in our community, and I’m grateful for your attention to equipment that considers real-life circumstances. Space and income are precious, and it’s clear that you understand that. I would love to be considered for the screen printing kit, as it would be a wonderful addition to my work. But if not, it’s definitely something I’ll have to ask Santa for in a couple of years! Best of luck with everything you're doing-I'm excited to explore more of your content as a new subscriber! 😁😁
What an inspirational life you are living, over coming those challenges is a true testament to your grit! I am sad to say this giveaway has ended but I have been hosting a new give away on each new video so keep up with my latest releases for your chances to win.
Thank you so much for such a compliment and letting me know about the status of the giveaway. I'm eager to see more and will share with some good pals who would benefit from your pearls of wisdom!
I want that! Thank you for this video as well as your others. You answered one of my main questions, about whether or not the screens were in fact reusable. It's good to know they are. Thank you again. You gained another SUBSCRIBER!
I want that! I love that you made a clock. That is the whole reason I want this tool as I already make laser cut clocks but I want to add to my collection.
How perfect! Sadly this giveaway has ended, but I am giving away another laser if you want to join in on that one in my latest video. ruclips.net/video/GHFWKfaUeuU/видео.html
Wow, I sure do want that! Gonna buy that! Got to have that! I do some screen printing the hard way LOL and it hurts my back by the time I've gotten 10 done, with mistakes all to often. For an old Grandma it's not bad. But wow this set up is amazing.
I want that. Love the break away effect on the clock, really makes it stand out. I've used some UV exposure wash out films before and it is a time consuming process. This looks a lot easier.
Thank you! Yes the UV exposure part is the main thing that kept me away from screen printing. I am so happy to have it in my toolbelt now can have a print production going in under 1 hour.
I want that! I am just impatiently awaiting the arrival of my S1 20w + IR laser. It should land on my doorstep this week. I can't wait! I really want to try screenprinting too, because my 3 teens have been talking about creating their own clothing brand. Would be amazing to help them create some great stuff! I love your videos. I really like, that you are honest about the mistakes you make. And show us how to fix the errors. Makes my inner Steve Erkel wanna scream: "I can do that!" Thank you and greetings from Denmark
Great to hear from Denmark! Thanks for watching this giveaway has ended but I am running 2 giveaways in my latest video if you want to join in. ruclips.net/video/UrS4kFBzo8I/видео.htmlsi=yA0ErvVr3ww4zjGl
I want that! I bought a diode laser a few months ago and have dabbled with a few ideas. My goal when buying it was to come up with one product to make to pay for it (in between all the other hobbies and work I must do.) Clocks are really cool and we all could use a little more time.
Great idea Mark! Sadly this giveaway has ended, but I am giving away another laser if you want to join in on that one in my latest video. ruclips.net/video/GHFWKfaUeuU/видео.html
"I want that"! It would make a great compliment to my new S1. This vid lead my mind into an array of product ideas far away from standard t-shirts. Thanks, really enjoying your content!
I want that!!! I have been looking at the x-tool screen printing kit. I have the m-1. I also recently bought a homemade screen printing press but it costs $65 and a week to get screens made locally so I haven’t really gotten into it much other making fake screens with cut vinyl designs. I love that you showed recharging the screen! I want to be able to make real screens in house when inspiration strikes and then be able to make adjustments. I also love that you picked a project that mixed both laser cutting and screen printing. That’s the kind of projects I like to take on. I have also been inspired by ur take on business lately. Lots of good stuff. Keep it coming
a week to get the screens made? one, fucking, week? man you can do that at home in an hour. you need a few things that will cost less than 65$ combined: 1- a screen 2- emulsion 3- emulsion coater 4- a suitcase 5- a table lamp 6- two lightbulbs (one of which emits UV light, the other one doesn't) 7- blow dryer 8- film positive of the design (if you have no film positives, just print on a normal a4 paper and coat the a4 paper with sunflower oil) 9- an a3 sized piece of black cardstock and a piece of foam sheet 10- 200 sqft space including a bathroom and a bath hose (I use my 50 sqft bathroom and not a single sqin of additional space) steps: 1- put in the non-UV emitting lightbulb into the table lamp, light it up and close all of the other lights 2- coat the screen with emulsion 3- with the bottom side down, blow dry the emulsion until it no longer feels sticky 4- (optional) if you're going to store the screen with the emulsion coating until when you'll burn it, put it in the suitcase 5- put the cardstock on top of the foam sheet 6- put the emulsion coated screen on the cardstock, bottom up 7- flip the film positive horizontally and put it on the bottom of the emulsion coated screen 8- replace the bulb in the table lamp, put in the UV emitting light bulb 9- expose the screen for some time. you can experiment with the exact time of exposure, but I had zero problems after vastly overexposing my own emulsion (longer than 10 minutes for an emulsion with an optimal exposure time of 4 minutes), so you can be pretty liberal with it. 10- wash the screen to remove unexposed emulsion The whole shebang takes less than one hour and costs less than 65$ to set up. After the setup cost, cost per screen is will maybe go up to 2 dollars (even if you vastly overestimate water and electricity).
I WANT THAT!!! I never realized the versatility of screenprinting. I have tried it in the past with just one screen and it just became too much in creating the screen. Instead of burning the screen, I used vinyl and added the paint to the negative space. This seems simpler.
Yes to me this way of doing it just makes sense, all the other ways just seemed like too much for me. Thanks for watching til the end you are entered to win.
I want that. Would be fantastic to get into screen printing, love your clocks and the sentiment really touched my heart. Being disabled I am always thinking about time and what I may need to give up in the future. Screen printers seem to be very friendly in terms of ability.
I want that! But i dont have a laser engraver. I am looking into laser cutting and trying to find someone local who can cut my product to see if it works, and then to sell enough so i can fund my own laser cutter. I have a 3d printer (sla) but no cutter as yet. Ive used screen prints before but with UV exposure, including making my own frame and screen once, to create my own tshirt at uni. Great videos and great idea for the clock, liking that it comes apart with the gies, which is so much better than a basic hexagonal clock. Good luck with your quest!!
I want that! I need that! This is by far the best video, explaining the xtool screen printer...I am still on the fence on buying this,it's an $800 canadian investment...Great video & great job Chad.
I WANT THAT! 💖 I am desperately trying to enhance my current laser engraving business with new products in order to enable me to help pay of debt so my husband doesn't have to work 24/6 from 6:30 AM - 8:00 PM. Love your clock idea!
I want that! LOL 😆 I'm a newbie and I'm looking forward to purchasing the XTool screen printing as soon as possible. Thank you for your video. It was very informative.
I would love to be able to put my art on t-shirts but don't have money for laser or the kit. Good Luck to everyone that can use this and I hope I win the lotto soon so maybe I can start making my own stuff.
Thank you for saying that, but truly I am blown away that people would want to hear me nerd out about these things and watch til the end. It’s people like you that make all of this possible. Sadly this give away did end but I am giving away a laser in my latest video if you would like to join in.
I WANT THAT!!! I'm interested in trying screen printing, but I find it difficult. This kit makes screen printing easy and allows me to create beautiful prints effortlessly.
Never thought that you can just use your laser engraver to make the screen, so thanks. An advice for better and much cleaner results for the cutting process is to use a more powerfull air compressor with the laser engraver. It´s more noisy but worths it. Love the content. Keep creating. Cheers!
I want that, I've always wantes to do screen printing but the multi color units require a house of their own, that little monster looks amazing. Side note: I've always told people I can always make money I cannot make time, time is the only currency I take stock in.
I have seen some avocado of yours videos, I had thought on getting a creality falcon 2 as laser cutter starting point since I live in a flat/apartment, and there was once a few years back I though on getting one of those machines to print some custom t-shirts(mainly drift/car related/inspired) but I wasn't ready to open shop yet, since I don't have lots of income and machines are expensive and take space(that I also don't have much), then life happened and after my stroke episode last year(at 33yo) and my head changed, all I can think is to who wins that please use it to make a profit and give back in some other way later to someone. I watch your videos from time to time and is always really entertaining to watch, thank you for that.
Chad. Just found your channel. It is great. As a former educator myself, I can totally feel and appreciate your background in your videos. Keep up the fantastic work.

I want that. I was wondering how the xTool engraved on the screens without burning the screen material until you mentioned the SS Mesh. Love the idea of printing on the boxes. Makes it look way more professional that way
that is a cool method of making screens and printing! I used to teach people how to do that, as well as laser and other things at our makerspace in dallas for many year. i want that.
I WANT THAT! New viewer. I used to do t-shirts for a company long ago but now with my creative juices flowing again I would like to start my own business and actually do something I love.
I want that. I'm starting my own business and that would be an awesome addition to everything else I'm trying to accomplish. Looking into buying a kit but the price is too high for me at the moment. Awesome video
I want that! I’m probably late though. Just getting into lasers and have a eyes on a specific one and want to be able to screen print as part of it. Can’t wait to make some cool shirts

I want that! (Have never been able to say correctly after Bobby Duke - LOL) You do a lot of fun projects and we just heard about this screen printer yesterday for the first time! The wife and I both are contemplating to go with the XTool S1 40W. We were planning to start an Etsy store but we are seeing A LOT of issues with their lack of commitment to sellers and their use of unmitigated shop closures with little to no recourse. Well, we actually have an Etsy shop, but haven't populated it yet. Perhaps Shopify is a better option... Great vid!
I WANT THAT! This Crafting Nerd thinks that would make a great addition to my hobbies! Thank you for the consideration and great video! Oh by the way when are you going to reveal the masked out goodies on your table. Smile ❤😊
@@ChadsCustomCreations Hi Chad, thank you, however I already have a 130 Watt laser machine 36x40 that works very well, but was hoping to try the Screen printing stuff, that looks promising with the laser side. I hated the exposure stuff, too much work. Again great job with the videos and may you have an awesome day!
@@MichaelKintner very honorable of you Michael! Just checked the single color kit is currently $250 USD if you were thinking about it that might be a good place to start.
I want that - My wife and I have just upgraded to CO2 laser and engraving after starting on the elegoo phecda. (lasted 4 mos) Hoping to add a new tool to our tiny biz.
I absolutely love the optimism you have with what Levi did. It is freaky with how much he looks just like you. Chad for real, is that a picture of you when you were his age? I can't tell 😳. Totally sharing this video with a coworker that has a wife that uses a popular device for making shirts. Great video and editing. I love the personal aspects of the video with the family❤
Thank you sis! Yes that is actually an old picture of me, I used some crazy AI filter to raise the resolution it’s crazy how it took it from fuzzy to that. Thank you for sharing! Glad you liked it I probably spent over 100 hours editing this one 😅
@@ChadsCustomCreations lol that is a big reason why we have not made more videos. That and our video editor could not handle our new camera footage and such. Very cool!
"I WANT THAT." I started doing screen printing to help get my candle business started (making custom logo, advertisements and etc. to put on my shipping boxes.).

"I WANT THAT" and NEED IT! I have been trying everything to make a screen print with my Cricut instead of weeding which I hate. I need to make multiple signs with the same saying and find it incredibly frustrating for the small letters especially the dot in the "i"s.
My first thought was this goes against the video you just put out about the Chick-fil-A method, but I like how you integrated it with a laserable product. I own a full service print shop in North Carolina and we now do Screenprinting. Not being a hater but this machine looks like the easy bake oven of screen printing. 😂 it looks like you could certainly make money with this machine but it has a lot of serious limitations. If you use a Dehazer you can get rid of the ghost image when you clean the screen. Careful! Screenprinting is a rabbit hole of buying new toys!
Yes that was definitely a consideration when I was pondering ideas with the screen printer. I definitely want to inspire and educate but at the same time I want to stay true to my beliefs in business. Great tip about the dehazer there are so many things it’s hard to keep track of what they all do. Thank you for watching my NC neighbor!
@@ChadsCustomCreations I thought I recognized a North Carolina accent. Where are you located? My shop is in Whiteville from from outside of Hickory originally.
@@smalltownink sorry I should have clarified I am in Middle GA, I just consider NC my neighbor and would love to live there so day as well almost never get snow down here. I just checked out your channel great work over there and holy cow that Sabre screen printing machine definitely makes the Xtool look like an easy bake oven hahaha 😂
@@ChadsCustomCreations neighbors for sure! And thanks for checking out my channel. It is basically the journey of building my full service shop in a rural town. We have had a lot of fun doing it. I am hoping to hire a full time person eventually to handle just the screen printing side of the business. An employee suckered me into buying a manual press and all the ancillary equipment $7k total. I have since replaced the exposure unit, the conveyor dryer, the flashing unit, and bought automatic press. All of us went to a Screenprinting class with Texsource (they have classes in GA by the way) after we spectacularly failed trying to do it on our own. I would say you have a leg up on what we knew 18 months ago. I enjoy your channel!
I want that!!! Idk if it’s still going on. As a disabled vet on a fixed income. 1) I really need a hobby and 2) this would be amazing for my wife and I to do together 3) this would be great for my wife to expand her Etsy business.
Matthew thank you for your service, this giveaway did end but I just started another one for a 10w laser on this video. Just be sure to comment the new code word over there for another chance. ruclips.net/video/GHFWKfaUeuU/видео.html
I want that!!! I just purchased the S1..it isn't even here yet. I wanted to get the screen printing kit, but I was hurting too much from the S1 cost. I would love to make some shirts for the trail running club I'm in. Also...your comment on man's best friend and Norman....my dog beside me is very offended. haha
Haha I knew that “man’s best friend would trigger some” this giveaway has ended but I do have 1 for a 10w D1 pro on my last video if you want to join in.
@@ChadsCustomCreations Shucks...saw the video too late then. With the S1 coming, the D1 is better for someone else. I am hoping to get the screen printer at some point. It looks really nice and I can see all sorts of uses of it. I know Laser Maps are a thing and you could do a screen print version using different screens for different colors.
I want that! I really hope Norman gets to stay! I Love the message and visual of the clock! I say daily that there is no dollar amount that can buy us more time on this planet!
I WANT THAT Love your videos and would so love to move from my Hobbycraft screen print kit to the XTools one. fingers crossed and all being well I too could be making a video on the Xtools Screen Print setup.
Thank you for watching sadly this giveaway has already ended, but I am giving away a 10w laser if you would like to join in the details are on my last video.
I HAVE THAT! I don't think you need to be as careful as you were in regards of light. The emulsion's instruction tell you because professional screen printers need to expose them to UV light with a mask for the image to stay on. You burn off the mask with a laser, so you actually want it to cure before (as you did in the 2nd try). In fact it's a good idea to use an UV light (or the sun) to do so. Heath Sharp has a great video on "Reusing xTool Screen Printing Screens - Emulsioning an Xtool Screen".
That’s a great point I guess I was just worried it would start to cure while applying or make cleanup harder, but it seems pretty forgiving. Someone in the comments said we can skip the emulsion all together and use other masking materials also. I guess it would just come down to what can handle the inks and cleanup but still has its own remover spray like the IV sensitive resin like I used.
This is really cool. But I would recommend you to please rinse the screen inside the tub or a designated sink. Artist have large basin sinks that are meant to get dirty. I suggest this due to you sounding like you would be doing this prolonged. I'm not sure of what exactly is in the inks. However, the amount that you would be dumping long term would affect your yard, possibly your ground water if you have a well, and it can affect the marine life if washes into nearby water sources over time. At least if your house is connected to the grid then the inks should get treated. Plus if someone were to report you, you could be fined especially if its a business. Of course you are open to disregard this concern, it's just a suggestion. Besides that awesome video and I didn't even know that this screen printing method or company existed.
That is a great point and I am shocked I didn't think of that especially since I am trying to grow some grass in the front yard for the kids. I will come up with some kind of catchment system so the water can be properly treated thank you for your insight!
Thank you and thanks for watching til the end. Sadly this giveaway has ended but I have another one with a few more days left on my last video if you would like to join in. ruclips.net/video/fCnQL3DcaC4/видео.html
In screen printing context an emulsion is a light sensitive solution, and you don't use that if you aren't planning of using an acetate print to transfer the design, for lasers you use Liquid Masking Fluid or Latex or Acrylic paints, oil paint, anything that does not react with your ink. If you use emulsion, you need to cure it after drying.
Oh interesting I bet that is way cheaper and maybe less caustic too! Thank you for the info!
@@ChadsCustomCreations I'd love to see a follow up video if the materials are cheaper that way.
Doesn't the laser react to the photosensitive adhesive??
I don’t know if this is good to do or not, but I never use my broiler so when I made some screen printed tote bags, I put them in my broiler to cure them and it seemed to work. This was after they were completely air dried. Maybe it’s a bad idea. I don’t know, but it worked for me.

Brings back memories of my first job on leaving school. Sure we were all high as kites most days after work from all the chemicals used.
Hahaha I can only imagine 😂
Tell me more about drying canvas using a laser machine, how it is possible and with what type of nozzle or adjustment... Thank you for answering me.
Screen must be stainless steel like these to work with lasers.
I want that! I did screen printing way back in MS. Haven't taught it though, this would be great for my High Schoolers to learn about and do. Keep it up Chad!
Oh yes this would be great for schools!
*I WANT THAT!!* I absolutely love this video! You've really piqued my interest with the screen printer-what an incredible piece of equipment!
As someone who became partially paralysed 10 years ago, my career in sports photography had to take a backseat. But, in the meantime, between surgeries and adapting to new challenges, I've been slowly building a home studio equipped with lasers and 3D printers. My goal is to create a thriving home business, even from my wheelchair, to show my daughter that we don't give up when the chips are down.
Creating personalised packaging would be the perfect addition to the specialist baby-scan products I make for expectant mothers, as well as for those who have faced the heartbreak of loss. I combine my photography and editing skills with my personal experiences-both grief and the joy of a rainbow baby-to create beautifully engineered pieces that offer a sense of permanence, something that hospital photos often can't provide.
I truly admire the time and effort you've invested in our community, and I’m grateful for your attention to equipment that considers real-life circumstances. Space and income are precious, and it’s clear that you understand that.
I would love to be considered for the screen printing kit, as it would be a wonderful addition to my work. But if not, it’s definitely something I’ll have to ask Santa for in a couple of years! Best of luck with everything you're doing-I'm excited to explore more of your content as a new subscriber! 😁😁
What an inspirational life you are living, over coming those challenges is a true testament to your grit! I am sad to say this giveaway has ended but I have been hosting a new give away on each new video so keep up with my latest releases for your chances to win.
Thank you so much for such a compliment and letting me know about the status of the giveaway. I'm eager to see more and will share with some good pals who would benefit from your pearls of wisdom!
I want that! Thank you for this video as well as your others. You answered one of my main questions, about whether or not the screens were in fact reusable. It's good to know they are. Thank you again. You gained another SUBSCRIBER!
Glad it was helpful, thank you for the Sub Gregg I hope you don’t regret it 😉
I want that! I love that you made a clock. That is the whole reason I want this tool as I already make laser cut clocks but I want to add to my collection.
How perfect! Sadly this giveaway has ended, but I am giving away another laser if you want to join in on that one in my latest video.
ruclips.net/video/GHFWKfaUeuU/видео.html
Wow, I sure do want that! Gonna buy that! Got to have that! I do some screen printing the hard way LOL and it hurts my back by the time I've gotten 10 done, with mistakes all to often. For an old Grandma it's not bad. But wow this set up is amazing.
It’s great if you can swing it I say go for it.
I want that. Love the break away effect on the clock, really makes it stand out. I've used some UV exposure wash out films before and it is a time consuming process. This looks a lot easier.
Thank you! Yes the UV exposure part is the main thing that kept me away from screen printing. I am so happy to have it in my toolbelt now can have a print production going in under 1 hour.
I want that! I am just impatiently awaiting the arrival of my S1 20w + IR laser. It should land on my doorstep this week. I can't wait! I really want to try screenprinting too, because my 3 teens have been talking about creating their own clothing brand. Would be amazing to help them create some great stuff! I love your videos. I really like, that you are honest about the mistakes you make. And show us how to fix the errors. Makes my inner Steve Erkel wanna scream: "I can do that!" Thank you and greetings from Denmark
Great to hear from Denmark! Thanks for watching this giveaway has ended but I am running 2 giveaways in my latest video if you want to join in. ruclips.net/video/UrS4kFBzo8I/видео.htmlsi=yA0ErvVr3ww4zjGl
I want that! I bought a diode laser a few months ago and have dabbled with a few ideas. My goal when buying it was to come up with one product to make to pay for it (in between all the other hobbies and work I must do.) Clocks are really cool and we all could use a little more time.
Great idea Mark! Sadly this giveaway has ended, but I am giving away another laser if you want to join in on that one in my latest video.
ruclips.net/video/GHFWKfaUeuU/видео.html
I am eyeing this tool too hard, I want that. It would expand my business/art in so many ways. I always love your videos and the challenge you do.
So glad you enjoy my work! Thank you for watching til the end!
I want that!
Definitely answered questions about reusing the screen and the best way to do it, thank you
Glad to share it I think I was just as curious as everyone else.
@@ChadsCustomCreations I was also thinking, does the emulsion have to be fully removed to reapply or can it just be filled in with new emulsion?
@@InfamousMufasa I think you honestly probably could get away with just spot applying.
@@ChadsCustomCreations I'm sure I'll be trying it that way after doing a test grid
@@ChadsCustomCreations did you ever get around to trying to spot reapply the emulsion as a test? Just curious?
"I want that"! It would make a great compliment to my new S1. This vid lead my mind into an array of product ideas far away from standard t-shirts. Thanks, really enjoying your content!
Great to hear it that’s really what I am hoping to do a little education and lots of inspiration.
I want that!!! I have been looking at the x-tool screen printing kit. I have the m-1. I also recently bought a homemade screen printing press but it costs $65 and a week to get screens made locally so I haven’t really gotten into it much other making fake screens with cut vinyl designs. I love that you showed recharging the screen! I want to be able to make real screens in house when inspiration strikes and then be able to make adjustments. I also love that you picked a project that mixed both laser cutting and screen printing. That’s the kind of projects I like to take on. I have also been inspired by ur take on business lately. Lots of good stuff. Keep it coming
Thank you Christie, yes the whole being able to have your ideas within the hour ready to print is really conducive to the creatives like us.
a week to get the screens made? one, fucking, week? man you can do that at home in an hour. you need a few things that will cost less than 65$ combined:
1- a screen
2- emulsion
3- emulsion coater
4- a suitcase
5- a table lamp
6- two lightbulbs (one of which emits UV light, the other one doesn't)
7- blow dryer
8- film positive of the design (if you have no film positives, just print on a normal a4 paper and coat the a4 paper with sunflower oil)
9- an a3 sized piece of black cardstock and a piece of foam sheet
10- 200 sqft space including a bathroom and a bath hose (I use my 50 sqft bathroom and not a single sqin of additional space)
steps:
1- put in the non-UV emitting lightbulb into the table lamp, light it up and close all of the other lights
2- coat the screen with emulsion
3- with the bottom side down, blow dry the emulsion until it no longer feels sticky
4- (optional) if you're going to store the screen with the emulsion coating until when you'll burn it, put it in the suitcase
5- put the cardstock on top of the foam sheet
6- put the emulsion coated screen on the cardstock, bottom up
7- flip the film positive horizontally and put it on the bottom of the emulsion coated screen
8- replace the bulb in the table lamp, put in the UV emitting light bulb
9- expose the screen for some time. you can experiment with the exact time of exposure, but I had zero problems after vastly overexposing my own emulsion (longer than 10 minutes for an emulsion with an optimal exposure time of 4 minutes), so you can be pretty liberal with it.
10- wash the screen to remove unexposed emulsion
The whole shebang takes less than one hour and costs less than 65$ to set up. After the setup cost, cost per screen is will maybe go up to 2 dollars (even if you vastly overestimate water and electricity).
I WANT THAT!!! I never realized the versatility of screenprinting. I have tried it in the past with just one screen and it just became too much in creating the screen. Instead of burning the screen, I used vinyl and added the paint to the negative space. This seems simpler.
Yes to me this way of doing it just makes sense, all the other ways just seemed like too much for me. Thanks for watching til the end you are entered to win.
I want that. Would be fantastic to get into screen printing, love your clocks and the sentiment really touched my heart. Being disabled I am always thinking about time and what I may need to give up in the future. Screen printers seem to be very friendly in terms of ability.
Victoria, time is our most precious commodity, I feel so lucky to have been able to get back majority of my time now to put it where I truly want.
I agree it is so important to focus on what is important to you.
I want that!
But i dont have a laser engraver. I am looking into laser cutting and trying to find someone local who can cut my product to see if it works, and then to sell enough so i can fund my own laser cutter. I have a 3d printer (sla) but no cutter as yet.
Ive used screen prints before but with UV exposure, including making my own frame and screen once, to create my own tshirt at uni.
Great videos and great idea for the clock, liking that it comes apart with the gies, which is so much better than a basic hexagonal clock.
Good luck with your quest!!
Thank you Drew I have a giveaway going on my latest video for a 10w laser if you wanna jump in for that.
Amazing! Thank you for the heads up! Will jump on that!
I want that! I need that!
This is by far the best video, explaining the xtool screen printer...I am still on the fence on buying this,it's an $800 canadian investment...Great video & great job Chad.
Gerald, that is incredibly nice for you to say that. That is a hard pill to swallow. I am rooting for you to win!
I want that! Just getting into laser and have always wanted to do screen printing as well. They seem a match made for each other.
It makes sense to me too. Thanks for watching.
I Want That! Your videos have been so helpful in my adventure into engraving. So much to learn but every day I am picking up a little bit more.
That’s what it’s all about right there thank you for sharing that with me!
I WANT THAT! 💖 I am desperately trying to enhance my current laser engraving business with new products in order to enable me to help pay of debt so my husband doesn't have to work 24/6 from 6:30 AM - 8:00 PM. Love your clock idea!
Thank you Melissa best of luck to you both!
I want that! LOL 😆 I'm a newbie and I'm looking forward to purchasing the XTool screen printing as soon as possible. Thank you for your video. It was very informative.
Glad this was helpful for you I still highly recommend it. Thanks so much for watching.
I would love to be able to put my art on t-shirts but don't have money for laser or the kit. Good Luck to everyone that can use this and I hope I win the lotto soon so maybe I can start making my own stuff.
You’ll get there Eric I believe in you!
I WANT THAT! You are so giving. It's nice to see that in today's world.
Thank you for saying that, but truly I am blown away that people would want to hear me nerd out about these things and watch til the end. It’s people like you that make all of this possible. Sadly this give away did end but I am giving away a laser in my latest video if you would like to join in.
I WANT THAT!!! I'm interested in trying screen printing, but I find it difficult. This kit makes screen printing easy and allows me to create beautiful prints effortlessly.
This really is such a great entry point for someone. Thank you for watching!
Never thought that you can just use your laser engraver to make the screen, so thanks. An advice for better and much cleaner results for the cutting process is to use a more powerfull air compressor with the laser engraver. It´s more noisy but worths it. Love the content. Keep creating. Cheers!
I believe it must be a stainless steel screen like these, I believe silk screens will burn right through.
I want that, I've always wantes to do screen printing but the multi color units require a house of their own, that little monster looks amazing.
Side note: I've always told people I can always make money I cannot make time, time is the only currency I take stock in.
Chris you are so right! Thanks for watching I have another giveaway on my last video if you want to join in.
That's a really cool project and I like that fact that you used a different material to screen print on! I WANT THAT?
Thanks for watching I have another giveaway on my last video if you want to join in.
Thanks for the shout out! Great video, Great Content!
Same to you love your stuff!
I have seen some avocado of yours videos, I had thought on getting a creality falcon 2 as laser cutter starting point since I live in a flat/apartment, and there was once a few years back I though on getting one of those machines to print some custom t-shirts(mainly drift/car related/inspired) but I wasn't ready to open shop yet, since I don't have lots of income and machines are expensive and take space(that I also don't have much), then life happened and after my stroke episode last year(at 33yo) and my head changed, all I can think is to who wins that please use it to make a profit and give back in some other way later to someone.
I watch your videos from time to time and is always really entertaining to watch, thank you for that.
Thank you for watching my videos your support makes this all possible!
Chad. Just found your channel. It is great. As a former educator myself, I can totally feel and appreciate your background in your videos. Keep up the fantastic work.
John thank you so much, my wife always tells me she hates that I use my teacher voice in my videos and as much as I try I can’t shake it 😂
I want that! I’m actually looking at your video to show my daughter so she can see how to use it. Love the vid.
Aww love to hear that! Thanks for watching and sharing!
I want that! I've always wanted to start my own t-shirt printing business! Thank you for sharing your knowledge!
Angel thanks for watching sadly this giveaway has ended but I am doing another giveaway with a laser on my last video if you want to join in.

@@ChadsCustomCreations Thank you for the heads up, Chad. Already watched your video. It's an amazing build. Hope it lasts very long so you and your family can make long lasting memories!
I want that. Wife's been bugging me for years to get her a screen printing set up and this one looks like it would be perfect. (Plus it would give me a great excuse to buy an xtool :) )
This setup is great for someone starting out, the way it works with the laser just makes so much sense.
I wish you the best luck in this new chapter. Have so much fun. Silk screening is so much fun 🎉 enjoy
Thank you so much!
I want that watching your video made me want to step up my printing to screen printing thank you so definitely yes I want that You're amazing
So glad to hear that Chris my real aim is to inspire and educate.
Thank you for clarification that the screens are Stainless Steel !!👍
Absolutely happy to help.
I want THAT!!! Awesome idea ....and clock. Good luck Norman 😊
Teresa thanks for watching til the end. Sadly this giveaway has ended but I have another one with a few more days left on my last video if you would like to join in.
ruclips.net/video/fCnQL3DcaC4/видео.html
I want that. I was wondering how the xTool engraved on the screens without burning the screen material until you mentioned the SS Mesh. Love the idea of printing on the boxes. Makes it look way more professional that way
Yes I think the stainless steel screen is the real innovation though their whole setup is pretty dang nice too!
that is a cool method of making screens and printing! I used to teach people how to do that, as well as laser and other things at our makerspace in dallas for many year. i want that.
It’s really neat how they brought lasers together with screen printing I really like this method.
I WANT THAT!
We are about to open our shop and would love to offer this to our customers 🥰
Love your videos, keep it up and good luck 😊
Thank you Martin!
I WANT THAT! New viewer. I used to do t-shirts for a company long ago but now with my creative juices flowing again I would like to start my own business and actually do something I love.
Thanks for watching I highly recommend people going after what they love!
Great video, dude! Loved the project. Cmon people, buy a clock…for Norman!
Thank you Matt, haha Norman is stressing out. I probably should have just done sweaters with Norman on it instead 😅
I want that. I'm starting my own business and that would be an awesome addition to everything else I'm trying to accomplish. Looking into buying a kit but the price is too high for me at the moment. Awesome video
Martin thank you for watching I’ll be picking a winner soon I am rooting for you!
@ChadsCustomCreations yes that would be awesome to actually win something in my life.
I WANT THAT!! I've been wanting to try my hand at screen printing. Now you've convinced me.
It’s way more enjoyable than I anticipated. I thought clean up would be harder but it really is easy. Thanks for watching!
I want that! I’m probably late though. Just getting into lasers and have a eyes on a specific one and want to be able to screen print as part of it. Can’t wait to make some cool shirts
Thanks for watching sadly this giveaway has ended but I am doing another giveaway with a laser on my last video if you want to join in.

I want that! (Have never been able to say correctly after Bobby Duke - LOL) You do a lot of fun projects and we just heard about this screen printer yesterday for the first time! The wife and I both are contemplating to go with the XTool S1 40W. We were planning to start an Etsy store but we are seeing A LOT of issues with their lack of commitment to sellers and their use of unmitigated shop closures with little to no recourse. Well, we actually have an Etsy shop, but haven't populated it yet. Perhaps Shopify is a better option... Great vid!
Etsy is risky but they do bring you traffic with Shopify you gotta figure out how to bring your own customers to you.
@@ChadsCustomCreations Driving our own traffic is certainly a valid concern of ours.
I WANT THAT! This Crafting Nerd thinks that would make a great addition to my hobbies! Thank you for the consideration and great video! Oh by the way when are you going to reveal the masked out goodies on your table. Smile ❤😊
Thank you for watching sadly this giveaway has already ended but I am giving away a laser in my last video and there is still time to join in.
@@ChadsCustomCreations Hi Chad, thank you, however I already have a 130 Watt laser machine 36x40 that works very well, but was hoping to try the Screen printing stuff, that looks promising with the laser side. I hated the exposure stuff, too much work. Again great job with the videos and may you have an awesome day!
@@MichaelKintner very honorable of you Michael! Just checked the single color kit is currently $250 USD if you were thinking about it that might be a good place to start.
I want that - My wife and I have just upgraded to CO2 laser and engraving after starting on the elegoo phecda. (lasted 4 mos) Hoping to add a new tool to our tiny biz.
Thank you for watching!
I absolutely love the optimism you have with what Levi did. It is freaky with how much he looks just like you. Chad for real, is that a picture of you when you were his age? I can't tell 😳.
Totally sharing this video with a coworker that has a wife that uses a popular device for making shirts.
Great video and editing. I love the personal aspects of the video with the family❤
Thank you sis! Yes that is actually an old picture of me, I used some crazy AI filter to raise the resolution it’s crazy how it took it from fuzzy to that.
Thank you for sharing!
Glad you liked it I probably spent over 100 hours editing this one 😅
@@ChadsCustomCreations lol that is a big reason why we have not made more videos. That and our video editor could not handle our new camera footage and such.
Very cool!
"I WANT THAT." I started doing screen printing to help get my candle business started (making custom logo, advertisements and etc. to put on my shipping boxes.).
Awesome they really make shipping boxes look so professional.
I WANT THAT! AMAZING video today thank for sharing. My interest is use on ceramics pottery
John thanks for watching til the end. Sadly this giveaway has ended but I have another one with a few more days left on my last video if you would like to join in.
ruclips.net/video/fCnQL3DcaC4/видео.html
Whoops, clicked too quick. Just wanted to say thanks for your videos. I so appreciate your cut to the chase videos. I hope you make your goal. Your cat is soooooo dang cool!
Thanks so much that means a lot to me!
Can you put a regular UV / light exposed mesh inside the frame and use it without the laser mesh?
Yes I believe it would work as long as the mesh is at least as big and cut to the same shape.
I want that.!!! I'm getting a lot of inspiration for your video's. Just started out but this makes it more easy. Thanks for the help.
I am stoked to hear you say that. Sadly this giveaway has ended, but I am giving away another laser if you want to join in on that one in my latest video.

I WANT THAT!! Trying to start my own clothing brand. Came across your video, it was very entertaining.
Glad to hear it thank you for watching!
I WANT THAT! Thanks for making such great videos! They have me watching until the end!! Don’t get rid of Norman!!! Lol
Joe thank you for appreciating the videos it’s very encouraging to hear that. Thanks for watching til the end!
"I WANT THAT" and NEED IT! I have been trying everything to make a screen print with my Cricut instead of weeding which I hate. I need to make multiple signs with the same saying and find it incredibly frustrating for the small letters especially the dot in the "i"s.
Weeding is the worst I love how this takes all that hassle away.
I want that. I'm disabled and looking to supplement my income. This looks great!! Thank you!!
Thank you for watching Rob I am rooting for you!
I WANT THAT, Chad. 😊 Thanks for the great information and the laughs!
Glad you enjoyed it Andrew I have another giveaway on my most recent video if you want to join in on that one for a 10w laser.
My first thought was this goes against the video you just put out about the Chick-fil-A method, but I like how you integrated it with a laserable product.
I own a full service print shop in North Carolina and we now do Screenprinting. Not being a hater but this machine looks like the easy bake oven of screen printing. 😂 it looks like you could certainly make money with this machine but it has a lot of serious limitations.
If you use a Dehazer you can get rid of the ghost image when you clean the screen.
Careful! Screenprinting is a rabbit hole of buying new toys!
Yes that was definitely a consideration when I was pondering ideas with the screen printer. I definitely want to inspire and educate but at the same time I want to stay true to my beliefs in business.
Great tip about the dehazer there are so many things it’s hard to keep track of what they all do.
Thank you for watching my NC neighbor!
@@ChadsCustomCreations I thought I recognized a North Carolina accent. Where are you located? My shop is in Whiteville from from outside of Hickory originally.
@@smalltownink sorry I should have clarified I am in Middle GA, I just consider NC my neighbor and would love to live there so day as well almost never get snow down here. I just checked out your channel great work over there and holy cow that Sabre screen printing machine definitely makes the Xtool look like an easy bake oven hahaha 😂
@@ChadsCustomCreations neighbors for sure! And thanks for checking out my channel. It is basically the journey of building my full service shop in a rural town. We have had a lot of fun doing it. I am hoping to hire a full time person eventually to handle just the screen printing side of the business. An employee suckered me into buying a manual press and all the ancillary equipment $7k total. I have since replaced the exposure unit, the conveyor dryer, the flashing unit, and bought automatic press. All of us went to a Screenprinting class with Texsource (they have classes in GA by the way) after we spectacularly failed trying to do it on our own. I would say you have a leg up on what we knew 18 months ago. I enjoy your channel!
I want that!!!
Idk if it’s still going on. As a disabled vet on a fixed income. 1) I really need a hobby and 2) this would be amazing for my wife and I to do together 3) this would be great for my wife to expand her Etsy business.
Matthew thank you for your service, this giveaway did end but I just started another one for a 10w laser on this video. Just be sure to comment the new code word over there for another chance.
ruclips.net/video/GHFWKfaUeuU/видео.html
I want that. Pls. 😉 great addition to my D1pro 40w. I’ve been trying to add color to my laser products in various cumbersome ways. This is perfect.
Thank you for watching Camille!
I want that. I was wondering about being able to reuse the screens. Glad you covered that.
It was my biggest question also. With it being viable it really makes it quite a convenient and affordable option to screen printing.
Awesome video! I want that! 👀 love the unique clock design!
Glad you liked that! Thanks for watching.
I want that! I just came across your channel. Great video and I am now a subscriber. Can not wait to catch up on all your past videos!

Thank you for watching til the end!
I WANT THAT for creating so many different art things!! Awesome video about awesome tech!
Thanks for watching Milka!
I want that!!! I just purchased the S1..it isn't even here yet. I wanted to get the screen printing kit, but I was hurting too much from the S1 cost. I would love to make some shirts for the trail running club I'm in. Also...your comment on man's best friend and Norman....my dog beside me is very offended. haha
Haha I knew that “man’s best friend would trigger some” this giveaway has ended but I do have 1 for a 10w D1 pro on my last video if you want to join in.
@@ChadsCustomCreations Shucks...saw the video too late then. With the S1 coming, the D1 is better for someone else. I am hoping to get the screen printer at some point. It looks really nice and I can see all sorts of uses of it. I know Laser Maps are a thing and you could do a screen print version using different screens for different colors.
i want that!!! to have a neighbor like you. man everything you like is what i like lmao.
Hahaha my neighbor now is over 90 years old when I tell him what I do he is like “sure, sure…”
I want that! I really hope Norman gets to stay! I Love the message and visual of the clock! I say daily that there is no dollar amount that can buy us more time on this planet!
Thank you Donnie and thank you for watching til the end!
What a great design! And a very nice way to use screen printing. I want that!
Thank you Marti!
I WANT THAT Love your videos and would so love to move from my Hobbycraft screen print kit to the XTools one. fingers crossed and all being well I too could be making a video on the Xtools Screen Print setup.
Wishing you luck in the giveaway! Thank you for watching!
Thank you.
I want that....Great video!!! My wheels are turning with the endless possibilities!!
Chuck I am glad to hear it my friend! You are entered to win thanks for watching til the end!
I want that!! I have been looking at them as a possible stepping up my game!! I would also try and clean and reuse the screens..
Brad glad to hear that, I think this would be a great way to achieve that!
I want that! ... speaking about Norman ofc, poor kitty needs someone without a thriving youtube channel 😆😜
Norman isn’t happy about this one 😂
WANT THAT!! ive been learning about this in school and it would be great to try it
Thanks for watching til the end! Best of luck in school and in this giveaway.
I WANT THAT.
I wonder how the silk will hold up to multiple laserings.
They use stainless steel so I think if you use their recommended speeds and power it could last a long time.
That sounds very interesting, i could definitly use this product.
Is this competition just for Americans in the USA or also those here in Germany?
I believe the competition is probably higher here in the USA but it’s just a guess.
I want that! Thank you for posting this video. I learned a lot! :)
Glad it was helpful! Thanks so much for watching!
i want that, just started a tshirt business and it is crazy time consuming and expensive. but its super fullfilling. good luck to everyone
Thank you for watching sadly this giveaway has already ended, but I am giving away a 10w laser if you would like to join in the details are on my last video.
I HAVE THAT!
I don't think you need to be as careful as you were in regards of light. The emulsion's instruction tell you because professional screen printers need to expose them to UV light with a mask for the image to stay on. You burn off the mask with a laser, so you actually want it to cure before (as you did in the 2nd try). In fact it's a good idea to use an UV light (or the sun) to do so. Heath Sharp has a great video on "Reusing xTool Screen Printing Screens - Emulsioning an Xtool Screen".
That’s a great point I guess I was just worried it would start to cure while applying or make cleanup harder, but it seems pretty forgiving. Someone in the comments said we can skip the emulsion all together and use other masking materials also. I guess it would just come down to what can handle the inks and cleanup but still has its own remover spray like the IV sensitive resin like I used.
I WANT THAT! Doing great,I hope to see you keep growing.
Thank you Victor that means a lot to me.
This is really cool. But I would recommend you to please rinse the screen inside the tub or a designated sink. Artist have large basin sinks that are meant to get dirty. I suggest this due to you sounding like you would be doing this prolonged. I'm not sure of what exactly is in the inks. However, the amount that you would be dumping long term would affect your yard, possibly your ground water if you have a well, and it can affect the marine life if washes into nearby water sources over time. At least if your house is connected to the grid then the inks should get treated. Plus if someone were to report you, you could be fined especially if its a business. Of course you are open to disregard this concern, it's just a suggestion. Besides that awesome video and I didn't even know that this screen printing method or company existed.
That is a great point and I am shocked I didn't think of that especially since I am trying to grow some grass in the front yard for the kids. I will come up with some kind of catchment system so the water can be properly treated thank you for your insight!
I want that, this video was really interesting, I’m always looking for new ways to use the laser.
Thank you for saying that and for watching til the end!
I WANT THAT! Great video. I’m just getting my first laser.
Awesome welcome to the world of lasers!
