Information
      Buck on a shot glass

Made this for my home bar setup as a way to personalize a boring shot glass
    
Instruction
1
Step1: Find an image with clean lines that you would like to engrave

Find a high quality vector image or a simple nonvector image to engrave.

2
Step2: Measure your shot glass for its perimeter and enter it

Use your measuring tape to find the outside perimeter of the shot glass.

Select 'Laser Cylindrical" → Chuck → then enter that result there.

3
Step3: Shot Glass Prep

Use a foam roller brush and lightly apply a coat of black tempera paint onto the shot glass itself. 

4
Step4: Load the Shot Glass

Using the RA2 Pro, load the shot glass into the jaws of the chuck or use the metal rods and rear rotarty support.

 

Make sure to leave enough clearance for the laser to process. 

5
Step5: Resize the image

You want to make sure your image comes out clear and on one face of the glass, so make sure its height doesnt exceed the glass height, and width is between ½ and ⅓ the perimter of the glass.

6
Step6: Engrave

Line up the laser with your shotglass and ensure the correct height of the laser. 

 

Always frame to confirm the laser head doesn't hit anything.

7
Step7: Rinse and Enjoy

Once the engraving is complete, simply rinse the shot glass in warm water to remove the tempera paint, and you're done!
