Custom engraved ink pens- the easy way

My method for engraving custom ink pens to sell at events. I use jigs for almost every job that I do. This jig makes a set of 10 pens a breeze.
For templates that I have made, check out my Etsy shop. I build files for projects and tools for laser engravers.

Thanks

[@jodidonovan3191]

I love this idea! Have already bought your jig files and now just bought this one to go with it !! Thanks sooo much ! I was gonna try and figure it out with my RA2 LOL

[@TheClackShack]

Enjoy…

[@naterife8871]

Glad you liked it!

[@Vintauri]

Looks like that Wizmaker 20w continues to crank out some good work!

[@TheClackShack]

So far, so good..

[@jlathem56]

Cool project!

[@TheClackShack]

Thanks!

[@hoosierguy14ify]

for us left handers you can reverse the pen direction.

As always amazing video and work! I was wondering if you have a video or can make one about the depth of text when engraving. I’m trying to say how do you choose and know how much it’s going to engrave in depth?

[@TheClackShack]

I burn up a pen to get the settings that I like.

[@jimmylee6247]

Thanks for the information. I was wondering what types of pens can we engrave with a 10 watt diode laser? [wood, rubberized, etc...]

[@TheClackShack]

I stick with wood.

[@videoscrapheap]

Add the array dimensions to your jig. That should make it easier to line up your text.

[@TheClackShack]

I am terrible at math some days….

[@victorsimerson1095]

Make a wooden frame and put foam in it and slit foam

[@TheClackShack]

I prefer a more rugged approach. I also don't like cutting foam with a laser.

[@arthurtotherow8208]

Quick question. I bought your jig sets for the D1 10pro and it has a bunch of the top piece that are different. How do I determine which to use? Your videos have helped me with a better basic understanding of this hobby.

[@TheClackShack]

Measure the inside spacing and pick accordingly. Should be in the notes inside the folder

[@rebelmarshall3632]

The cutouts can be used for crop tags 🤔

[@TheClackShack]

Sure

[@leonmorgan7338]

I have made some engravings on these pens, I found that they came out sticky around the engraving, needed some scrubbing with alcohol . Maybe I have my power set too high?

[@TheClackShack]

I did numerous power tests to get it dialed in. Bamboo in general will weep if you heat it up too much. Dish soap will clean if needed.

[@captkmk3226]

Great video, I saw your comment and I have used white vinegar works as well tfor clean up..@@TheClackShack

[@fordgt55]

Hooked on your videos. Just got my engraver yesterday. Do you finish ( CA , polish, etc) the pens before engraving? Thanks

[@TheClackShack]

no, straight out of the box.

[@jimhamilton2680]

Curious as to what price you will be wanting to get?

[@TheClackShack]

I have been doing 5 but moving all my smaller items up to 8. I will see how it works out. That is with 2 lines of texr

[@jimhamilton2680]

Thanks for the feedback

[@hungerjames4072]

Hi sir can you share yung svg files for your jigs🙂thank you

[@TheClackShack]

I sell them on etsy

[@mncustom-made-barblafond6825]

Maybe I missed it on your etsy shop but is the pen jig listed? Do you find the pens themselves work well for writing? I don't normally have pens to sell or give because I don't want customers getting a pen that doesn't write. Great tutorial on lasering pens.

[@TheClackShack]

I use them in the shop and they work ok. It’s not a cross but for a utility pen, seems to work ok. They come with refills also

[@TheClackShack]

The pen jig isn’t in there yet.

[@jimc31]

@@TheClackShack I'll purchase it if you add it.

[@captkmk3226]

Thanks for your video, with that style jig would 10mm font be good with those amazon pens, what size font were able to use and still burn well? Thanks again

[@TheClackShack]

It would depend on your settings. They are round, so too big will be on the side.

[@ramaroodle]

Great idea and jig. So, you don't use/need a rotary jig? Do you somehow get L Burn to compensate for the curve, or is it a nonissue?

[@TheClackShack]

Not an issue with just a line of text

[@ramaroodle]

Wait. What? You mean all these years using the aftermarket 3D printed string-driven methods was unnecessary?? 🙂 (at least for a single line of text). Damn! I'm gonna try that tonight. I have an order for a batch of 10. Even if it's 2 lines I assume you can just rotate it.

[@TheClackShack]

@@ramaroodle yes, it is that easy

[@richm.1583]

Good Morning! Will you be clear coating and if so, what with?

[@TheClackShack]

It’s bamboo, probably not but if I did, polycrylic.

[@chucklenz9011]

Up early huh?

[@TheClackShack]

Scheduled… I don’t do mornings…lol

I give away my pens at events
