WIN Full Wrap Tumblers! xTool F1 Ultra and RA2 Rotary

[Music] we just made these full wrap tumblers using our xtool F1 Ultra and our xtool ra2 Pro rotary tool and we'll show you how we did it what is up welcome back do you like to do it V or make it so do we and we have new videos each week last week we talked all about how to get some B2B sales corporate gifts some chachki this week we are asked to make some full wrap tumblers that we can take to our local military base so we thought we would do that trying out the ra2 pro rotary tool so we've had this a while but haven't had the opportunity to really use it and showcase it in a video so we thought we'd show you the tool show you how to use the rail system show you how to use the Chuck system and at the end we're going to give away the full wrap tumbler that we're going to create as well as a bunch of laser engravable tumblers ready for you to try out at home stay tuned to the end for details step one we're going to gather all of our supplies we needed some tumblers because that's what we're doing tumblers we needed our xtool F1 Ultra to do all the engraving for us and the filter because we're doing it indoors we're also going to use the ra2 pro rotary tool as I just mentioned we haven't had the opportunity to use this so this is a great project to share with you guys our thoughts and our perspectives on this rotary tool we know it's super versatile and so we'll try it out this week using tumblers we're going to do two different methods we're going to use the rail system where we're going to lay our tumbler on the side and use the rail system to just rotate the tumbler and then we'll try the Chuck system out I'm super excited about this one because I think it's going to be a lot easier than the rails so we're going to do our first tumbler with the rails we're going to come back and I'm going to show you how to assemble the Chuck because I haven't done it yet myself so we're going to do it together I'm going to put this on I'm going to add the little what is this thing yeah the little belt the gear belt and then in a later video we're also going to show you how to use the sphere system here so this will hold a round ball a baseball a Christmas ornament and allow you to rotate a spher yeah a spherical item a ball and then in another video or maybe those will be the same video I don't know yet but looking forward to trying out the three prongs and doing a ring so this will allow you to hold on to a fine tiny piece of round jewelry and engrave on the outside of a ring I have to see that one yeah but those are future videos stay tuned for this video we're going to use our rail system our Chuck system and show you how it goes and follow us for next week's video because next week we're going to show you how to create your own customized full wrap Tumblr step two riding the rails we're going to use it straight out of the box the rotary system with the rails has three positions so there's an A B C position the C position is the widest position and that's what we're going to use to engrave our tumbler but you can move the rails closer and closer to engrave on smaller cylindrical items such as maybe a champagne flute that's going to be very thin wine glasses but the largest position is for the tumblers here and that's going to give us the G the best I guess grip for something as wide as a tumbler the other great thing about the ra2 pro rotary tool is the leveling system so here's a separate foot that you can use to set the back of the tumbler on because this is tapered you can use this to level the tumbler it even comes with a little level system so I can move this so that it levels the tumbler let me using it the wrong way so that it levels it perfectly for Engraving it's always engraving on a level surface and you'll get less walking with a level surface all right so I think we're pretty much ready to go we're going to set this inside our X tool and to plug it in it's super simple you're just going to attach it right to the side let me get this out you're going to plug this in the little white in into this back of the tumbler this end goes right into the accessory port on the side of the F1 Ultra and that's all there is to it after that it's going to recognize the rotary tool and be ready to engrave now let's jump right into creative space and set up our design first we're going to ensure that we are connected to the F1 Ultra and then we're going to go over here and select mode use rotary attachment and for this first engrave we're going to use the roller and our material I'm going to select the 20 o black Tumblr but the settings it provides are not correct so we're going to update those now the first thing we're going to do is measure the thickness and you'll want to make sure that your blue and red lights are at the highest point of the tumbler so it gets the largest thickness large thickness we're going to refresh our camera now this bar that you see across the center of the tumbler needs to be right in line with the light that the red and blue light that has come together so I've already put it in the correct place I've imported my image we're going to rotate it 90° so that it's in the right it engraves in the right aspect ratio or what's the word direction direction and then I'm going to align my image to this bar this is this is where the engrave will start and the tumbler will rotate as you can see there's a little arrow here it shows you which direction it's going to rotate and it will start engraving from there so everything below that bar is your engrave area everything above that bar is no longer engrave area that's right you can't put your image in the Shaded gray area above the line it needs to start at that line because it will rotate and engrave everything on your image below that line [Music] and here we're going to update our settings you can see that I'm going to update the dots to 180 the power to 95% power and then the DPI to 300 everything else is going to stay the same and then we'll click process [Applause] [Music] the tumbler it came out super awesome it fully wrapped except except on the second pass here it started to overlap like it walked a little bit so it wasn't perfectly lined up for the second pass but I stopped it we saved it it looks great so I had read that one of the things that you'll do is once you engrave your tumblers you're going to wipe them off I had read that if you do two passes on your tumbler it would save on cleanup your first pass was with the blue light laser and that did the engrave but a second pass with the IR laser will come through and clean up the original engrave shiny yes so you wouldn't have as much wiping down to do at the end but I'm not sure what I did wrong uh I had both images over top of each other had it set to run by layer and when it started the IR layers layer it wasn't lined up perfectly so good thing Garrett stopped it so you'll see just a little bit of a an over engrave for the second there's another reason to keep your eye on your laser projects while they're going so that you know when it gets to a point where it's acceptable before it gets ruined you get to stop it step three time to install the Chuck and test this guy out I'll let my lovely assistant do all the assembly work the great thing about this also is it comes with two different arms for the Chuck one that's just a single arm and two that has a two-step arm so we're going to use the two-step arm because it has a small little end that's going to hold the end of the tumbler and not move into the engravable area it's just going to hold and grasp the tumbler over here on this metal section that we're not planning to engrave so let's go ahead and screw these right onto the Chuck system so the first thing we're going to do is add the little grippers on the end of the Chuck here there are two kinds there's a twep and a single step we started with a two-step is what you can see us putting on here but ultimately um it didn't give us enough grip so we went with a single step so we'll swap that out before we actually attach the tumbler I give me three steps and then uh before you the check on you have to take the rails off it was pretty simple and then this is a little um geared screw that you have to add to the side so the belt can go on this uh so you're going to slide that on but then you have to go up underneath to tighten it down the little hex nuts there or screw screws and then you're going to add the two screws um onto the top with the Chuck put the belt on before you add those two screws oh yeah good good good point [Music] now this is pretty much the same I'm making sure that I'm connected to the F1 Ultra and then I'm going to choose the rotary attachment but this time we're going to select Chuck and when you use the Chuck you're required to put in the perimeter or the diameter and then I'm going to choose 20 oz black tumbler but when I do it clears my perimeter so I'm going to go put that back in and then same thing we're going to measure the thickness and then we're going to refresh the camera when the camera refreshes you'll see that I'm now gripping from the top of the tumbler because when I had it gripped from the bottom uh the view was off the screen and the rotary attachment wasn't in a good centered position so I flipped it over and gripped it from the top that's why I switched from the the two-step grippers to the one step [Music] well that was very easy to do I am super impressed I'm loving uh the full wrap I am too this is the first time we've done a full wrap tumbler like this I think it's really cool this took for everything that you see here and what you can't see from from this distance and I can barely see just looking at it is gar for the tail of the Fox on each one of these has a bunch of tiny little dots to make it look gray uh so with that detail that level of detail in every one of these they this Tumblr took about 20 minutes each of these took about 20 minutes I think without that level of detail it be even faster I think so too I I can't wait to do some military logos like this that are all wrapped I think they look so sweet and I think it would be easy to do either one honestly I think the rails or the Chuck I I I really don't have a preference right well I think the Chuck probably would have been easier if you were coming in with a second pass cuz there's less walk on the check I don't know if there's any walk on the Chuck good point good point whereas the the rails seemed to walk a little bit mhm it did move when it moved fast it doesn't really walk during a slow engrave process but when it rotates around it does move a little bit jostles about and next week we'll show you how to make a full wrap Tumblr design and then uh we'll make another full wrap you guys ready for a giveaway we're going to give away six of these tumblers just like we engraved today that's like over an $80 value leave us a comment down below how do you do your tumblers are you using resin are you doing full wraps are you laser engraving these things leave us a comment down below and we'll pick a winner from there otherwise big thanks to our patrons we love you guys and that is the best way to support this channel we have a super secret Facebook group The know classes but it's really about the community the community over there is the best community ever I'm about out of time so if you're not going to join us for the patron after show we will see you next week where we'll do it build it and make it again and you know how hard it is to balance like one Tumbl what if I do two oh wow oh that's fancy and we're in like it's going to be loud I know let's try [Music] three do it build make it if you think it we created do it build it make it uh
