I just got my PiBurn4.0 and it's time to go in on it. Great job keeping it simple. I have an Omtech 50W and the original rotary accessory with 3 metal rollers. I learned some things the hard way and I measured with tape and made adjustments on that old thing and made it work months back but uh, no enthusiasm to work that thing LOL. I did OK on a large rolling pin. Your instructions for saving and recovering the settings file is perfect. I am subscribing next. Thanks for being there!!

Thank you! I'm glad it helped!

Instead of hitting the mirror image, have you tried turning your rotary 180 degrees so the top of the cup is on the left? Then on lightburn, you'll need to change rotate the design 270 degrees instead of 90.

I did something similar. Now I don't mirror the image on the screen in Lightburn, I mirror the image in the rotary settings. So now, the orientation of the image in lightburn matches the orientation of the design when I'm facing the laser.

Do you need to change the number steps when you have different diameter cups?

I haven't had to change the steps per rotation at all, but I see other people online saying that they do change the steps. I don't know why they're having to change them.

Can you tell me what is the metal tape that you are using?

For sure. It's a metal foil tape usually used for sealing ductwork. You can grab it on Amazon here: amzn.to/3OuPbCU

I have been looking to get the Omtech 60 or 80 watt laser,kinda torn on which one to get though. My oldest son is a freshman in high school and they have an Epilog laser and it is a 60 watt laser and from the first day he used it thats all he can talk about. His time on it is limited though. I think it would be great for him to be able to start a little buisness of his own because he has shown us the possibilities and your channel was one of the first ones we watched! We got a kick out of the "I'm bilingual bitch" cup,so I became a subscriber. So my wife and I decided to start looking for a laser and Omtech seems to be about as good as you can get. Any thoughts and ideas to help us decide? Thank you and keep up the great work my man!

That's really awesome, TJ. This is a great hobby and way to start a business for a kid in high school. I think a kid that age(once they learn the machine) could easily make more money from a laser than with a regular minimum wage job. Also, idle hands are the devil's playground, so keeping him busy and driven is key. I think the 60w or the 80w are great starter machines. If the work area(bed) is the same dimension and you don't plan on a heavy volume of orders, the 60w should be sufficient. If you're cutting thicker materials and need speed, then going with an 80w or 100w would help you in that area. The biggest things I wish I would've known from Day 1 are: Get an aftermarket exhaust(ac infinity works well), get an aftermarket chiller to keep the laser tube cool(cw5200---don't get the 3000), and you will likely want to upgrade the air assist if you do a lot of cutting. I wish you luck and if you have any questions on your journey, just drop them here and I can answer in paragraph form or I will drop a video to help you out!

Is this just for PiBurn or is it true for any rotary attachment for the 80W?

Will this work 100 watt?

Yes. It should work just fine with a 100w
