Thank you so much! Merry Christmas!

I admire you contributions!!!!

Hi JefferyJ; I will receive a 20W machine next week, according to TNT Tracking. I wish to thank you for the very useful material you share here; I work in the loudspeaker manufacturing field and in the production of high frequency diaphragms some of the videos you share may lead to very interesting applications such as metal etching and so on. I hope that in the next future I may can share some ideas as well, it will take some time to familiarize with the machine and so on.

thanks a lot for the test grid file

Hi! Would you know how to mark black on brass? I've fiddled with settings, I get to dark, but not full on black.

Great work! Thanks

Thank you so much for testing and posting these videos!! Will your laser cut through titanium plate, just like any other metal?

Hi what is the best material to engrave we engrave photo, s, we get a lot of black on titanium and stainless, we start Fiber engraving and find out lots to learn

Thank You Jeffery

For cleaning metal surfaces, use: 1) Acetone 2) Xylol (Xylenes) available at your hardware store 3) Acetone. I used the preceding combinations for cleaning pharmaceutical reactors. Xylenes remove very greasy substances. Acetone will remove excess water. Also, use only brown paper bags from grocery store for scrubbing. Avoid paper kitchen towels! Paper kitchen towels have softening agents such as detergents and oils.

Hey Jeffery, i bought a 30W Raycus fiber laser litemarker. The frequency range is 40-60Hz. Is it possible at all for me to anneal like how you are in this video? Thanks!

Hi, I have titanium that has been colored black already. Will this work on that material?

hi, could you tell me how can I increase the black color when I use silver Metal

Hi Jeff, thank you very much on behalf of all of us watching your videos and learning from it. I’m a jeweller and very often we do memorial picture pendants. This is a pendant with a picture inside. What would be the best settings for best quality color picture marking? If you care give me an email, I would send you some pictures of the samples .

Is the engraved squares corroding like on stainless steel?

help me a lot, thanks

bro do you know what the settings to make black color in silver???

Hello Mr. Jeffery, very helpful videos. I am wondering if you have any video to set this layout up so I can test it out on my machine 30W FIBER! Very appreciate your help.

Jeffrey, I have a 20W fiber laser purchased from BOSS Laser which doesn't have the adjustable height lens. I have to place the work on a scissor jack and adjust the focus from there. I used a sheet of 6AL4V which I sanded smooth and used a 5mm metal spacer to get the focus offset. Using your titanium color grid, the marking was so light as to be almost not visible, with the darkest marking in the lower right corner. Do you have any suggestions as to what I might be doing wrong? Thanks in advance.

Is your lens the same size as mine..150mm? If it's larger, you might want to reduce the distance out of focus. I haven't tried sanding so I don't know what kind of effect that might have, but I'm guessing you finished with a very fine grit. One other thought: did you clean the surface of the material prior to marking? Surface oils did seem to affect the mark when I was playing with it. If you've done all that, you might just pick one of the boxes toward the center and tinker with the settings a bit each direction until you get a similar result.

Hi, I was wondering if you knew the settings to mark on gun grips, like stippling and foaming?

@jefferyj

I don't do any stippling. Check out some of the facebook fiber laser groups, I suspect people will have some info there.

Is this settings for the colours on a MOPA laser? Or a way to do it on a regular fiber laser?

There are some color files .ezd in the file section of the fiber laser group which you can try: facebook.com/groups/440091022989424/

I think you need to adjust your line spacing further apart for more out of focus?

Great video! Is it possible to do colors on other metals or is it just Titanium?

Stainless steel works too, but the colors aren't as good.

Hi, Jeffrey. Thank you for the video. Where is the setting to adjust the focus between +3 to +5mm on EzCad? I tried to mark this template sheet on the titanium metal sheet (1mm) with my 30W fibre laser machine, but the colours came out either white or dark grey. What has gone wrong? I have also used the other template 'Frequency vs Hatch' to mark on Stainless steel, but they looked like burned black colours.... How to fix it?

You need to manually adjust the focal length with the hand crank. You will also have to tweak the settings as our lasers are likely quite different since you have a 30w.

Where did you get a piece to test like that? My titanium supplier for a piece that size would be a few hundred dollars

Hi jeff, so that not a mopa fiber laser, i thought mopa was the only way to get color. And does the color work only with titanium? thank you..

@jefferyj

3 жыл бұрын

It's supposed to be easier to do with a mopa source. Color works on stainless and titanium but isn't very consistent.

Ti can be cleaned the best with HF acid. It dissolves the oxide layer. you should get better results

Hi Jeffery, is this a MOPA laser or I can do this with a conventional fiber laser?

@@jefferyj Thanks for answer! Is it possible to do on stainless steel, like mopa can do? Could you post a video comparing both? I realy want to buy one of this, but in Brazil the price difference between 20w and 30w is big, and buy this machine directly from china is a bit complicated because local customs. Maybe I'll buy the 20w version

Hi Jeffery, I am buying a 50w fibre, can I ask you if I don't wish to buy a mopa version, can I possibly get 'Green' colour on Titanium ? Thanks for your help.

You can do quite a bit with titanium but it's tough to be consistent. Even using the same settings on a smaller area may not translate well to a larger area.

Hi there laser buddy. What web site are you referring to? Im a little deaf and English is not my first language and I keep hearing something like “apple app web site” which is not quite right I guess ;) Thanks a million!

No worries. Epilog is a company in the US that makes lasers and has some decent info available. Here's a link to the PDF where they discuss settings (page 193): www.epiloglaser.com/assets/downloads/fusion-material-settings.pdf

It's remarkably difficult to find information on this. Is this a recent innovation? And my real question... is it durable?
