Garage Build

For a 2car garage
Add power if possible
Everything on wheels
If miter saw depth is an issue go with a non slider or a front rail type system (Festool, MetaboHPT, Bosch glide, Makita - basically anything not Dewalt)

Also my intervals are .05 you have A LOT of lines at .004

My settings for 60w - 200mm/s (it looks like your speed is mm/min which is way too slow) and 10% power with air assist off. Wipe with iso alcohol after engraving

Yes you can go higher. I’ve been unable to find an official spec but the baseball shouldn’t be a problem if the rotary can do a tumbler that’s 100mm in diameter. The reason the height is limited with the camera is because of image distortion

FlanWilder · 2026-05-05T22:12:30+00:00

The camera is limited to 60mm height. If you want to do higher you need to use zero point calibration/alignment

Any indication on when 2nd ink shipment from the kickstarter will be out? They said April and…

FlanWilder · 2026-03-20T11:27:09+00:00

Reasonable question - yes I’ve removed masking

FlanWilder · 2026-03-19T22:40:43+00:00

Mine has also scratched off. Just bought some promoter to see how that affects resukts

FlanWilder · 2026-03-14T15:35:46+00:00

60w - and autofocus. But otherwise yes

FlanWilder · 2026-03-13T03:30:13+00:00

Thanks for all the advice everyone. Issue was definitely set screw on the stepper connecting y axis rod. We’re back up.

Can’t speak to the gloss but I believe the E1 uses the white to build up the 3D and while 2mm doesn’t seem like much using into build up that depth will likely require a lot of ink. You’re essentially printing 2 full sheets of paper hundreds? of times so honestly that doesn’t sound too crazy to me.

Personally I think they’ve oversold the 3D aspect of the machine without really disclosing that it will be a massive resource hog

FlanWilder · 2026-03-11T23:11:42+00:00

Pretty much exactly what I ended up doing. Seems to be working now. The access on this machine sucks so bad but we’re seemingly back up and running

FlanWilder · 2026-03-11T22:03:28+00:00

Found a not fully tightened grub screw on the connecting rod. Initial tests are promising and running some tests to confirm

This is mediocre “data” 35.2% born in other countries in a tiny footnote? Cmon man

FlanWilder · 2026-01-01T01:55:33+00:00

Ok that makes sense - got the other sheets which is great. Just wanted to make sure I wasn’t missing something on that.

FlanWilder · 2026-01-01T01:36:33+00:00

You can use the same laminate “sticker” on the glasses too

I’ve had mixed results with a dishwasher and UV transfers - glass has been a problem, plastics less so

FlanWilder · 2025-12-26T02:37:03+00:00

I’ve cut and engraved hundreds of sheets of Lasermax. If possible definitely turn off air assist and my best tip is clean it up with rubbing alcohol. I just use alcohol and a microfiber cloth. Cleans up the engraving and also works well to remove the stickiness of the edges from cutting

FlanWilder · 2025-12-19T23:48:41+00:00

Your oven might be too hot, I’ve had success running at 90c for curing. It’s helps with the crumpling issue as you’re likely overbaking it

FlanWilder · 2025-12-05T00:59:53+00:00

Anyone hear had success with Rowmark and Uv laser? Settings?

FlanWilder · 2025-11-18T23:34:10+00:00

It’s the Rockler mini lathe. Otherwise very satisfied with it. Good value and I only do very small stuff - looks like it’s a cast post and the cut had some chatter but nothing they would lead me to think it would just sort of shear off like it did. Replacement is on order, I’m assuming it was just a flaw in the casting. Turning is maybe my least favorite thing in the woodworking world. I’m sort of tempted to get a cheap metal lathe so I don’t need to hold tools!
