This F1 looks like a great laser for the small stuff. Been learning about the Norton White tile process. Titanium Dioxide absorbs UV light, so anything with that in it should get very hot. Zinc Oxide also absorbs UV, so sunscreen? Both are available in loose powder, what if you mix it with stuff that melts but does not absorb UV? Wonder if there is a IR laser I can add to my 3018?

Brother. I use to do the same thing with a pot of coffee. Now that I fast I have a mason jar I dump half the pot into. I let it cool then I throw it in the fridge. Have some Iced coffee black for when I need a shot of energy through out the day without getting to much caffeine at once. Not going to lie I do add some Ole Smokey salted carmel whiskey every once in a while.

[@BuildDadBuild]

Nothing wrong with that!

[@sebumgold3108]

Any luck getting a frosty white glass engraving with the F1? Or does the speed sacrafice this desired look on glass? Thanks!

[@BuildDadBuild]

works fine!

[@AlienLeader4]

Lol The things we wake up to. Get to moving get that coffe burnt up. Awesome video. Keep it going. 👽

[@BuildDadBuild]

Cheers, homie!

I got a Walk in Once I heard a Little Voice “Dad what are you doing?” Lol

[@BuildDadBuild]

LOL

[@jodygotyourgirlngone]

Do you have to seal that after to protect it?

[@BuildDadBuild]

the glass? Nope, it's baked in.

[@bbdefense]

What marking compound are you using to make those marks? I have been looking for something but it seems like most of them say they "require" a 20 watt laser.

[@BuildDadBuild]

Nothing. It’s an IR laser

[@bbdefense]

Awesome! is the White coating you used on the glass just so that the laser has something to reflect to? I just realized I was not specific on my question. @@BuildDadBuild

[@BuildDadBuild]

Yes. You need some sort of transfer agent. The diode laser can’t “see” clear.

[@pj48854]

Did you engrave the bat with the F1?

[@BuildDadBuild]

No

[@mikedixonphoto]

Only 8 cups of coffee? That would only be 8am for me. LOL I live for coffee.

[@BuildDadBuild]

I do too. But on an empty stomach I get a little jittery...LOL

[@4theloot638]

Lol, I have three boys and there have been some questionable things heard here too.

[@patrickchristie82]
