Burning Yeti cups on the laser!

I knew after buying this 60watt Laser Engraver by OM Tech, I would eventually engrave some Yeti tumblers. Turns out I needed a separate add-on tool to rotate the cup correctly. Finally got the rotary attachment working, got the laser’s motorized bed to lower far enough, and got all the settings dialed in on Lightburn. So far I’ve burned about 150 tumblers, and my next steps are to streamline the process by setting up some sort of a mount or jig to hold the rotary in the same place on the honeycomb bed.

Shootin’ Laser beams

My buddy Trent is a great artist. I love all things related to makers and tech. It only made sense for Kat, Trent and I to go in on a new CO2 Laser cutter from OM Tech. After ordering and months of waiting, our new laser arrived stateside this morning. Trent and I rented a uhaul truck and drove down to Anaheim to OM Tech’s headquarters to pick up our new toy!
