Well, that stainless "engraving" seems to have some merit to it. I know it's not 3D printing, but it certainly compliments it. I wouldn't mind seeing some experimenting along the lines of a small gap behind or using other materials such as brass, copper, or aluminium 🇬🇧.
Excellent video. I appreciate that you're not afraid to test out a new technique, and even though the results were not perfect on the glass I think you will probably find a situation down the road for the same process.
Another great project! (Probably the kind that put a gentle and patient smile on the wife's face 😌.) By the way - when it came to the issue of the mismatched cutters, everyone here knew you would find a solution. And so it happened, and to the usual high quality level. 👍 I hadn't heard of the method of engraving glass before, so I'll give it a try. As always - thanks for sharing! Best wishes from 🇩🇪!
Tom sounds like he's diabetic like myself. 3-4 hrs I'm a monster also :) Family still doesn't understand when I get to that point. Maybe I should build one of these for myself. Excellent, thanks.
I would have printed a guard for the router and a push stick. The guard would be in 2 pieces that attach to the t slot on top. The first piece would slide down and have fingers that push down on the top of the piece and be the thickness of the part. The second piece would fit down over the edge of the piece with being just off the table enough to get the push bar under. I would probably make the pusher as a big flat piece with a handle and slot at the end for a sacrifical piece of mdf to push the part.
This gave me some great ideas. Wonder if a clear coat on the glass would help preserve it or if used before would help it be even. Truly love the problem solving nature of your channel. Gifts are functional in that if it’s something that can be used. Plus great use for your small lathe.
I’m definitely going to try out the stainless steel idea with my fiber laser, with the black tray you may have had a better contrast using the painted glass trick with the diode laser - especially if you want to maintain that crisp engraving on the pla (only seems to work good for me with dark filaments). i’ve engraved a ton of glass with the diode and tempera paint and i’ve been very impressed with the results. Fun project!
IRT Separation of glass from metal substrate for laser vapor deposition printing. While any multitude of methods may work, perhaps the most straightforward method that comes to my mind is to mask the area for the desired emblem. Then, paint exposed surface with clear lacquer . Remove mask material and position, weigh down glass and lase. Once the metal deposition is complete, remove lacquer with acetone or mineral spirits. Obviously, ‘some’ experimentation will be required to determine best paint thickness for separation. Ken Jay
I considered knocking the corners down with a plane and maybe even sealing it, but in the end,I really kind of liked the raw/burnt look, especially given the type of wood
Wondering if using Bluing to treat the deposited steel on the glass to increas it's visibility. Also consider some sort of a light tint on the inside surface of the glass as a contrast element. In any case hope Tom enjoys!
I know that @Clough42 has used a marking powser to do the black on glass, in the Comparator glass replacement episode at the very least. However I also recall that being a rather expensive solution for something like this. But something to consider.
this WAS interesting. the functional is... a little optional, reaslly. functional-oriented is fine as long as you don`t pull a slignshot channel type of change, you`re good with evrey couple of video being "less" functional..
I'm hard pressed to think of a better 'function' than razzing a friend. Ink printers can feel like cheating for a maker but I wouldn't have complained if you used a vinyl decal on the front.
Yes, in my book, gift giving is still a functional use of your mad shop skills! I'm sure Tom will really appreciate the thought and the craftsmanship.
Thx

Pretty neat on the oxide transfer.
thx
Its function is to be a gift, so I think it qualifies. It was great seeing you use tools to solve problems during the build.
Thx. Was fun doing it!

Another great episode of "Functional Build Friday" 😁

I love how you were worried about the functional part, then had a side quest that had a print that literally only had 1 function 1 time for 1 job.
I would have printed a guard for the router and a push stick. The guard would be in 2 pieces that attach to the t slot on top. The first piece would slide down and have fingers that push down on the top of the piece and be the thickness of the part.

0.2500! Now you're showing off! :) Pleasure as always.
Maybe a little :). I surprised myself. I expected it to be close, but dead-on was much more luck than skill.
@@FunctionalPrintFriday Get that all too often from Quin over at @BlondiHacks too. 🙂
@@FunctionalPrintFridaythe more you practice, the luckier you get.
Thank you so much for sharing!
I don't have a laser but I sure as heck liked this and learned from it.
Tom will like it.
Nice idea, I would have put keyholes in the back for mounting it to the wall or at least French cleats.
I’ve had good luck on my co2 laser with TiO2 mixed in water and airbrushed (brush marks will show) on the glass, good dark coloring
One thing missing - it needs a way to mount it on the wall. The glass thing and precision woodworking was fascinating I see a laser in my future.

You can etch glass with a fiber laser if you put a coat of chalk marker on it first.

Enjoyed the different project with different techniques. I would of used dental floss to separate the glass from the stainless steel.

Nice !
Very cool! As a woodworker, I wanted to see a nicer wood/finish, but for this project it works. Great job
So are you saying that you like to mutilate tree carcasses? Or that you're really into polishing your wood?
I considered knocking the corners down with a plane and maybe even sealing it, but in the end,I really kind of liked the raw/burnt look, especially given the type of wood
@ I would at least spray it down with a lacquer just so it doesn’t warp over the years from moisture and temperature fluctuations

18:34 He finally gets around to making a functional print.
I feel seen
this WAS interesting. the functional is... a little optional, reaslly. functional-oriented is fine as long as you don`t pull a slignshot channel type of change, you`re good with evrey couple of video being "less" functional..
Could the oxid layer be used as a foundation for a lighter colour?
You can see the surface finish in there is... fine
I want the first print to hold tools
12:00 need inheritance machining side projects counter
My first thought when you pulled out the end mill and didn't have the right collet was: Didn't he just get a mini lathe? I see where this is going!
What CAD software does he use?
Perhaps Perspex would have been better/safer too.
Get a cricut, just another tool that comes in handy for labels.
Like always good work
Mrs. FPF had one, but gave it away. I did occasionally do vinyl on it. Was a neat little tool.

try other metals

Thx, i’ll have to try this
