Information

      My husband loves a strong cup of coffee or espresso, but he hates decaf. This design was inspired because of my husband's dislike for decaf coffee. He is very excited and happy about this custom designed tumbler, and is proud to show it off to his co-workers and friends. The husband even suggested turning the skull's eyes into coffee beans. With the OutIn portable espresso machine nearby, he is guaranteed a strong caffeinated cup of coffee at work, on vacation or anywhere he feels like hiding (from our kids).

    

Instruction

Step1: Center the Design on Tumbler

Preview
  1. Remove the tumbler lid. Place the tumbler flat on something to prevent it from rolling. I used the slatted base plate.
  2. Make sure the tumbler is under the blue/red dot, and use auto measure in the software to make sure both dots overlap perfectly.
  3. Using the camera and framing function on the F2 Ultra, carefully place the design in the center of the cup as desired.
  4. Since the tumbler is rounded, and the design is a little wide, I tried using curve surface engraving. Change the processing mode from flat laser to curve surface.
  5. I followed the provided directions on the curve surface engraving screen to map out the tumbler's curvature before laser processing.
