A nice technique for slate coasters (and other slate stuff) is to give it a coat or 2 of clear lacquer first. Makes the design "pop" even more that way
Thank you for sharing this awesome laser cutter, it looks amazing, you can definitely tell that you have been having fun with it, i would love to have some Talking Sasquach merch and I would show it off in my videos
Still want to know where you got that dragon from you laser printed? it would make me feel better, in that i havn't been duped and shown something it cant do!
Compared to professional laser machines that usually run over $10K, $1500 is practically entry-level. 😂 My cousin got one for his local business a couple of years ago, and it cost him like $20K. After seeing all the stuff lasers can do, I really wanted one, but it was way out of my budget. So having these hobbyist-friendly machines is a game changer, at least for me.
@skedone Agreed. There are a ton of "entry level" laser cutter that are 2 to 400 dollars. $1,500, 3,000 to $5,000 is not "entry level." Entry level is spending a little, learning how to use the machine and then upgrading if you want to progress or feel like you would need a more powerful machine for the projects you intend to work on.
@@hiresliving8114 I think even entry-level machines come in different levels of quality. Sure, if you’re okay with getting an open-frame machine without any safety features, you could probably find one for $200-300. But for someone just starting out, I’d recommend going with a machine that’s more widely used and trusted. Having access to a lot of tutorials and community support is super helpful for beginners. Everyone’s got their own budget, but if I were picking my first laser machine, this is the one I’d go for.
And one that isn't very good , recommending the IR laser for plastic .... yeah some plastics you can mark safely but most are not safe to burn. The IR is typically used for metals. The lack of safety and burning with no ventilation are all a recipe for disaster. Especially with how many kids follow this page who arent smart enough to learn about laser safety.
My main concern with a lot of these cheap laser cutters is the lack of safety. Some don't even have shields. You only need to fuxk up once with a laser to be permanently blind. Personally, I wouldn't be comfortable earning affiliate money off that Xtool D1 machine.
@@thecircuitbox The laser is invisible and the danger isn't obvious. For non technical people, especially those who just walk into your workshop, they are just one slip up from being permanently blinded.
@@thecircuitboxNot everyone knows the dangers of lasers. Jesus man. No one’s refusing to use PPE because the manufacturer didn’t build it into the product. Im not even sure how to wrap mind around your thought processes. You really think that pointing this out to people is dumb?

do yourself a favor, and run that ventilation.. you do NOT want to be breathing that crap.. (ESPECIALLY if you get into acrylic)

Agreed, safety is important.
This is dumb. Just buy PPE and use it. Like wtf, "oh it doesn't come with safety stuff so I won't use it".

You sound like an absolute wet wipe. The sort of person that would use safety glasses whilst cutting a lump of cheese.
