Laser Engraved Black Stainless Steel Coffee Travel Mug with Espresso Quote

Hardware Setup (The Rotary)

Install the Rotary Attachment:

Place the Rotary Module (your specific rotary) inside the machine.

Connect the Rotary Attachment to your machine

Leveling is key: Since tumblers are often tapered (wider at the top), use the small leveling jaw or prop up the back of the rotary so the face of the tumbler is perfectly parallel to the laser head. If it's tilted, the focus will be off at the edges.

Position the Tumbler:

Clamp the tumbler securely into the chuck (or place it on the rollers if you are using that mode).

Ensure the handle (if it has one) will not hit the laser head or the bottom plate as it rotates.

XCS Software Setup

Select Processing Mode:

Open xTool Studio.

On the right-side panel, change the Processing Mode from "Plane" to "Cylindrical Processing".

Select your specific rotary attachment (e.g., "Roller" or "Chuck").

Input Measurements:

Measure the diameter of the tumbler where you plan to engrave.

Input this Diameter (in mm) into the software. This is crucial so the software knows how much to rotate the cup to prevent the image from looking squashed or stretched.

Import & Place Design:

Import your "Words Cannot Espresso" image file.

Rotate the design 90 degrees if necessary (depending on how your tumbler is oriented in the machine).

Pro Tip: For a standard tumbler, the top of the design should usually point toward the mouth of the cup.
