Making Wooden Koala Toy Rattles
Using a 50W laser cutter for help with the detail cutting, here is a demonstration of my method for making cute shaped rattles for babies to play and chew on.

Changing Tube in C02 Chinese laser cutter.
Переглядів 87 тис.7 років тому
Simple process of replacing laser tube in typical chinese CO2 laser cutter. The replacement tube in this video was a brand called Cole Tech, from an ebay seller. The brand is junk and I got a refund shortly after. Cloudray branded tubes also appear to be junk and should be avoided. The best performing low-cost chinese tubes I have found is a brand called Tongli, sold on aliexpress. It was about...

How to Make 4 Strand Round Braid with Leather

It took me quite a while to learn how to do this because every video I found either had their hands in the way, or waffled on about nothing for 10 minutes instead of just getting on with it. This video is for people like me who just need to see the basic method once, and can figure out all the other details on their own. I'm using 3mm kangaroo leather lace.

Update: Install lens with curved side up! I get confused and say it wrong in the video. To get a good cut or engraving you need to know where you laser is focusing correctly.

very helpful
Hi, my belt is worn and needs replacement. Do you know how to change or can point me in the proper direction?
Wow those are great. What laser is that? I have a hobby machine that's too slow and can only engrave hence asking. TIA.
Where can you buy one? Link?
what is the price of the wattage probe?
I'm waiting for my power meter to arrive So I can test my fifty watt tube.. Guessing it comes from china
Great info and description of what is going on with the lens and focal point but the best I think is how you use your laser to draw your example. That is awesome and creative.

I wonder if i could give myself a tattoo with one of those machines 🤔
There’s videos of people doing this. There’s a lot of screaming though
Thank you so much :)
Do you lower the head of the laser with a controller, some software, or adjusting the laser bed?
Great video. With an electronic lead screw this makes the process a heck of a lot easier.
Cool! When it was new (Sr90) its shows 20mRh value. (Aprox).
Super 🎉
How do I figure out what tube I will need. My machine looks a lot like yours. Thanks for the video. I'll tell you what's going on. Tonight at the left side of the Tube it started Arching and making a snapping noise. I assume it needs a new tube. Any other Ideas.
I’m at the 3rd mirror. When I pulse I’m getting 2 separate burn holes. Doesn’t matter if it’s close or far from mirror 2. What causes that?
an average multi meter probe will not insulate you properly to 20kv, please be careful before holding things directly touching the 20kv terminal, even if power is off it can still retain enough power for a while to kill you
Curve is down, is this right ?!
Can I use the preforated sheet for co2 laser bed? What is the thickness of the sheet used in your bed?

Tamda özel bıçak siparişi verdikten sonra karşıma çıktı video. Teşekkürler.
i have watched a few videos before i found this one,,, thank you so much for making this so easy to do.. others make it so difficult to understand this
Great instruction video. Thank you for teaching me.
wow, there should be an incredible gravity along the ray to make light bend like that...
Clear directions. Thank you
One thing i would like to add is that you need to find a material on which you can see a defined spot. I used paper before and was never able to see a clear circle mark from the laser beam. Now i am using double sided tape without removing the back cover, and i an see a precise mark that makes adjusting a lot easier.
Great instructions. They eased my pain. How horrible was my aligning before this video. Thank you very much for teaching me the right way. (I wish my kids would say that to me at least one time)
IF your machine came with a glass tube from China, it is very important to learn and practice this procedure as you will be doing it often!
Hi, I have the same laser as yours. I'm looking for VENDOR settings, do you have a copy ? Thanks in advance.
Has anyone had experience marking a fresh skin?
I came looking for videos and yours was the second one because the first one didn't look right/seemed too easy. But it is the same and you are doing it the difficult way. Check it out: you just cross over the same colour, then get the other 2 and cross them over under the first 2, binding the previous cross in place. repeat. done. Literally the same as you are doing except you are working on both of the same colour at a time.
I wanna stick my finger under that.
Best video I've ever found on aligning the mirrors. Thanks, you've saved me a whole load of ball ache.
ALMOST great advice.... Some of it is machine independent. As Goku would say, "what is your power level?" Your advice is only good for the specific power of your laser, so what is it?
Tin foil or aluminium foil saves glue gunk getting on your mirrors. Just stuck it to your tape over the mirror. Then keep adding tape.
I recommend woodglut to every beginner and not only.
Dude, why bother with all of this. Why not just do a ramp test?
What softwares are you using for editing pls reply....thanks
Barely getting a 55watt co2 laser and I find this video great to get started on my acrylic work
1:26, light passed trough lens doesn't CURVE to and beyond the focal point. Actually light doesn't curve at all.
in summary..for this machine..a 38mm lens is good for cutting thin metal for example where you need high power focused in a small area..the longer lens is for making straight cuts in softer and thicker material..in between those two is a good general purpose lens..running tests at various depths allows you to determine the focal pont for fine detail work. Thanks for a great video!
Would you be able to tell me what timing belt that is? Mine broke and I can’t find a replacement anywhere online. I don’t have the measurements. I know it’s 3m and 15mm wide but the length of the closed loop is what I don’t know

"Trust me, I'm a physicist" famous last words
This tutorial is great. Explaining the difference between position and direction has helped me heaps. SO many other tutorial are just focused on hitting the center of the mirror!
What is the software name for editing
