In this video I will walk you through my method for easy full wrap engraving of tumblers and water bottles on the XTOOL F1. We will be covering regular cylindrical tumblers as well as tapered workpieces. I will show you how to correct and compensate for the tapered surface in your graphic editing program so that the pattern looks uniform. I will also show you how to make the same correction for individual logos on tapered surfaces.
I'll be demonstrating with the XTOOL F1 and the RA2 rotary mechanism but the concepts in this video can be applied to any machine.
To work with tapered tumblers, I have a tilt mechanism available for the RA2, this first one works with the XTOOL D1 Pro but can be used on the RA2 with other machines:
► embracemaking.com/products/xtool-ra2-pro-tilt-mechanism-kit
This next tilt mechanism kit works best with the XTOOL F1:
► embracemaking.com/products/xtool-f1-ra2-pro-tilt-mechanism-kit
You may have also noticed the Back Stop and Bubble Level Holder as well:
► embracemaking.com/products/xtool-ra2-bubble-level-holder-and-backstop-kit
And since the F1 does not come with laser safety glasses, I have made safety glasses available that protect your eyes from both blue and infrared laser light. (Perfect for the F1). You can find those glasses here:
► embracemaking.com/products/laser-safety-glasses-blue-diode-ir
As shown in the video, I have developed a very easy to use calculator for graphic and logo compensation on tapered surfaces. I explained how to use it in the video, and there is also a written explanation on my website. You can find that here:
► embracemaking.com/blogs/resources/graphic-correction-for-tapered-tumblers
If you're only engraving small and narrow logos, consider skipping the rotary altogether and use a V-Block fixture instead as I had shown in the video. You can get the V-Block fixture here:
► embracemaking.com/products/xtool-f1-v-block-pencil-bottle-opener-jig
Additionally, since I am working with the XTOOL F1, you may be interested in hearing about the latest offer from XTOOL. Their F1 ULTRA has just been announced and if you visit the link below you can make a $100 deposit on the pre-order of the F1 ULTRA and it will count as $1000 towards the machine. That is an incredible amount of savings:
