Wainlux K8 Laser Engraving Machine Review
Good Video, MUSIC SUCKS. I couldn't watch the whole video
Could I use these underneath the sliding drawer
What kind of liquid are you using when wiping off the coated metal?
I think, that the frame is too thick
Wow!!!!! So cool!!!
We are pleased that you enjoyed this, if you ever wish for us to review any other products, it would be my absolute honor.
They didn't tell us what name or type of paper they used!
We provided a link to the label paper we used, in the description of the video.
Nice shield! Well done. I have been swamped here over the summer and hadn't got to watch RUclips any. I've got some catching up to do. So sorry Jennifer got hurt. It's great to see her back on her feet again. You all will definitely be in my thoughts and prays.
Glad to hear you were swamped. It makes things more fun, then when things are boringly slow. LOL. Thank you for your well wishes.
Hi! Did you paint the screen as well or did you block it off?
Yes, I did paint the screen as well. i wanted to ensure it all matched. :-)
Have you ever tried to engrave dog tags and Slate coasters with it before? I have really enjoyed my wainlux but these are two items I want to engrave and can’t figure out.
I hope you were able to perform tests and successfully engrave. We would love to hear how it worked out.
Gorgeous shield. I see a larger laser in your future. Thanks for sharing! : )
Thank you! And... you are very perceptive about the future! :-)
Wow that is an amazing plaque that took an amazing amount of patience to have made. Very well done, Richard. So nice to see you're better half again. Hope she is feeling great with little or no pain. Welcome back, Jenn !!
Thank you so much! I guess patience is what I needed to make the shield. :-) I will ensure Jennifer reads your kind words.
My better half is back!!!! Woo hoo!!!
I'm so glad I watched this BEFORE trying to use a roller for the first time! The tip about having to change the Y settings back to before when going back to regular engraving was VERY useful!
we are thrilled to hear we were able to help you out. If we can answer any other questions, please let us know and we will do our best.
Same thing happen to me it was a nighmare i found the best way to do it is to prime the tub first with a roll on primer and then roll on the glaze you sould only need one can of HOMAX glaze per tub
We have used different brands, which were all roll on. They were ALL better than the spray on! :-)
I just found your video and this was exactly what I was imagining! I really want to replace all our bifold doors on our new home, and the previous owner has installed vertical cellular shades on the patio door and I thought it would be perfect for the closets... and there you are giving me exact instructions! Thank you! A question though, did you use the regular light permeable cellular shades, or did you order the blackout version? Yours look quite opaque, and I want to make sure we don't see the contents of the closets through the shade.
The shade we selected were black out. There are so many shades and colors so I am sure you will be able to find something that works for you. Thank you for watching our video and for taking the time to leave a comment
@@Poor_Mans_DIY Yes that makes sense , so you can't see the contents. Thanks for replying so quickly!
Thank you for this video. I have been working for 4 days now trying to get mine together.
I hope you were able to get your laser up and running. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask and I will do my best to provide a proper response.
@Poor_Mans_DIY thank you so much. Sadly, I am still working g on it. Hopefully today will be the day it is up and running.
Very nice, thank you for making and posting!
We are thrilled you appreciate the video. Thank you for watching and your kind comment.
Does the spray discolor the exterior or interior walls?
Wonderful question. It has not caused any problems on our home but you should test a tiny spot first, just to be safe.
Can these record 24/7 with a large sd card and just overwrite the oldest footage?
In theory it might be possible but i seriously doubt it. These particular cameras run off solar panel. the longer it records, the faster it wears out the charge. It might be able to keep up with the demand during the day but probably not at night. We thank you for the great question
Hi~
Greetings
That is going to make the recipient very happy when they receive it. I admire your refusal to supply items that are not perfect. Very well done. Give my best to your assist,,,,er,,,better half!!
That came out awesome!
I got lucky. The "watermark" I am using more and more often, fills the board up and makes people look a little closer until they realize there is a Hawaiian flag on the board. :-)
Nice Video. Helpful in deciding to buy. The ad at being of Harris was painful and nearly stopped me from watching.
Please forgive us , as we did not fully understand your comment about the ad about Harris. If it has something to do with our video, we would like to know your honest opinion/suggestion on what we could do to make it less painful. We learn and grow from positive and negative feedback. We do thank you for taking the time to watch our video and leave a comment.
If you need to remove the tubing from the magnetic head attachment simply depress the gray ring where the tube is inserted and pull it out.
You are absolutely correct and I appreciate your sharing this with our viewers. I should have done a follow-up to make people aware of this. The tubing should have come out with the method you mentioned but no matter how much force I applied, I could not get it to unlock. I became impatient and just reversed it instead. Dont let my viewers know how lazy I actually am. LOL
Great video! My question is how far away from the base unit can the cameras be is it just as long as they reach Wi-Fi or is there a certain distance?
I have not actually looked into what Aosu has to say about the distance but they will probably provide a best guess based on normal wi-fi connection data. There is more to consider, you may be close to the base but mount it in a location with thick walls, or other items that disrupt the wifi connection. I would use the distance indicated on the Aosu website as a starting point. You can use your app to see the connectivity and if it is poor, move it and or the base to see where you can get the best connectivity. I realize this isnt the perfect answer but even in my experience, I have a mesh set up with good coverage all over the house but I found that placing the security camera on the corner of the house, did not get as clean of a connection as I did when mounting the camera in the center of the wall just above the garage door. Probably because it has a clearer line to the the base. I hope this helps but if you have any further questions, I will do my best to provide a proper response.
What were the settings you had for the bottle opener. I’m trying too engrave those and metal dog tags but can’t get my image brighter. They keep coming out dark
I do not recommend using the same settings that I have. You might not obtain the exact same product as I did and the coating on the products may be different and require more power, slower, speed etc. The best thing to do is to use one bottle opener and dog tag to perform a test on. Use lightburn tool to test your power and speed to see which settings gives you the best results. It is possible the products you purchase might not be ideal for the type of laser you are using. I purchased name plates and it worked perfectly. The next batch of name plates I ordered turned out to be different, and I have not been able to get a bright image. Turns out, it is a different type of metal. So, I too experience problems all the time. Its all about testing first and learning. I hope this helps some. I would love to hear if you manage to make things work and if so, how you did it.
Hello it looked awesome what size is the coin holder and the depth for the coin to set in
Overall, the flag was 36"W by just shy of 18" tall. US flags do not use a 2:1 ratio. I cut 1/4" grooves to allow slightly larger coins to fit between the shelves. I hope this helps. :-) Thank you for watching, your kind words and for taking the time to leave a question and comment. We appreciate it very much.
It looks really, really great! I want something this simple, but the majority of the reviews on that particular brand haven't been good at all 😢 How has it been holding up?
The reviews are probably correct but there may be more to it. Within a short period the paint started chipping on our floor. BUT!!!! it was only chipping below where the tires rest when parking the car. After research, I learned it is because the tires get warm from friction when driving and the heat from the tires make it chip. One solution would be to place mats where the tires rest and it may help. Of course, when the car is parked, you dont see the chips much because the tires cover it. :-). As for the rest of the floor, mine is destroyed, but I abuse my floor differently from most others. I use my garage as a woodworking shop every day. I roll out workbenches and heavy woodworking equipment, as well as lumber, etc. I spill paint, wood stain and epoxy and it damages the floor even more. However... around the edges of the floor where there is little traffic from car tires and woodworking, the floor looks great. Based on cost comparison to the much more expensive epoxies. I stand by my decision to paint the garage floor as I did. I can redo the garage every few years and the cost will still be less than the expensive epoxy that is supposed to last 10 years. If money is a concern, I stand by this but if you can afford to spend more, you may want to consider the epoxy method. I hope this helps.
@@Poor_Mans_DIY I understand completely! I'd probably do the same if I used my space in the same way. Most complaints were about the hot tire pickup. I considered getting thick floor mats to prevent that. Thank you so much for your feedback 😊
Not sure what settings I have wrong... but no matter the wood thickness it only engraves, doesn't cut.
Depending on what you are trying to cut, you will likely need to make multiple passes. I am able to cut 13mm poplar boards with my 20w ray5 using 100mm/s at 100%
Several things to consider. First, if you have not done so, be sure to use Lightburn tool to perform a tests on the wood. you can test power levels, speed as well as the number of passes. the results will help determine which settings are best to cut through. Second, be sure you adjust the height properly, each time you use different piece of wood. the same sheet of wood may be thicker of thinner in places. Lighter spots on the wood may cut easier than darker shades. Third, if you performed lots of tests, or if you used any type of plywood to cut, there is glue inbetween the layers in the plywood. I find it produces more gunk that piles on the lens and the hole where the laser comes out. All of these need to be cleaned. Lastly, if you do not have or use an air assist, it will make a huge difference. Air assist blows particles out of the way, helping to make a cleaner cut. At times, I forget to turn on my air assist and it does not cut through wood that normally does. I hope this helps but if you have further questions, feel free to ask and we will do our best to provide a response.
Are they can recording 24h if they are wired ?
Have you did lather I’m looking at getting this this laser machine the 10 Watt for making hat patches at vendors shows and there’s nobody that has did a video with leather and also no one shown how long it takes to engrave instead of spending it up if you would make a video or even just give me information on how long it takes if you do I would appreciate I don’t want to buy the machine and the air purifier if it’s not gonna work for what I need
I have engraved some faux leather key chains. Works the same as wood. You must do tests to determine best settings before engraving the real products. Be warned, I have heard many say engraving leather smells very bad.
Thanks for the video! I just checked the emails I received in the past, and it seems that I got emails from the same "Companies": Levis, Canon, MSI, black Magic, Corel... All has emails with kakao domain... I didn't respond any of them.
Very nice work Richard. Take care. Cheers, Huw
Thank you so very much. 😀
If you use isopropyl alcahol in a spray bottle and mist it over the epoxy, it pops the bubbles. I use it when i make dominoes.
Great tip. I also use about 5-10% denatured alcohol stirred in the epoxy to thin it out. The bubbles on my projects are from the air pockets between the sheets of wood I glue together. Bubbles often times come out of the seams and stick there without making it to the top. Popping them with toothpicks is my only option. LOL. We thank you for sharing the wonderful tip.
Actual DIY starts at 2:25
Thank you for pointing that out. Others can avoid the fluff at the beginning.
That’s not wall mount
Okay. Thank you for pointing this out
*Hows it holding up 5 years later ???*
It actually started chipping within a few months, but only in a few specific locations. Doing some research, I realized it was chipping where car tires sit when parked. Turns out, tires get hot from friction when driving and caused the chipping, but the rest of the floor was great. My garage floor is torn up all over because I use it as a woodworking shop. I am constantly dragging around equipment, dropping heavy things, etc. That being said. I stand by my decision to paint it as I did. Note: the edges of my garage, where I do not walk or work on, still look good!
Nice sign and video. I see a bigger laser in your future. : )
have you tapped into my network?? I am 99% ready to purchase a monster machine. It is in my shopping cart. Just doing some final research to ensure I can fit it in my garage and have proper fume extraction. :-)
The epoxy was an excellent choice. It made a nice award plaque into a really special one. Hope your Partner didn't hear you call her your Helper,,,best of luck with that,,,LOL !!
Did I say helper? I meant CEO! LOL!
It was worth the extra effort to add the epoxy. Turned out quite nice, if I do say so myself. 🙂
The hair clipper bit...😂... try it on your eyebrows 😂
You have a valid idea there!!! :-)
Great video! I have a S1, but I found your video to be very informative.
It is comments like yours that make this so fun for us. We are so pleased to hear you found it useful!
Thanks so much for this video. It’s a great idea. I would like to do it for my bedroom closet, which is 48 inches wide and 96 inches tall. How did you order it? Did you list the width as the height and the height as the width? I’m trying to understand how you Ended up getting the bracket at the top of the closet for what would’ve been the side of the shades
We purchased these as custom blinds. There were a few companies that custom make these to order. When placing the order, you provide measurements and if the shade will be inside the window sill or outside. Although we used it for a closet, we simply indicated it was for an inside curtain and they provided the proper hardware/brackets, to mount it in the closet. Thank you for the wonderful question
Thanks so much for your response.
I just purchased a AOSU. DOORBELL, I was wondering after you wired your doorbell does it also continue to charge up your battery too?
Outstanding question. It never crossed my mind. That being said, I have to admit... I do not have a proper answer for you. It will have to be addressed directly to Aosu's customer support. I am so sorry I am unable to help.
Using the border template for positioning is a great tip 👍
Glad you think so!
Dude has his eyes closed for 90% of the video
That is kind of a harsh thing to say to a Japanese blooded old man. That's close to a "slant eye" comment. Can't help how my eyes are but it is all good. The benefits of having eyes like this is that I can see through closed horizontal blinds. LOL.
These turned out very nice. It was a lot of work, obviously, but the end result was well worth it. My best to your better half and hope she is back in the shop with you soon. Have a wonderful and peaceful Independence Day !!
Thank you for the compliment and your concern for the better half if this team. 😁
Thank you
Welcome!
Although my partner in crime was not there, I enjoyed making this video!
Useless video 🤬🤬
