Step1
  1. Purchase stainless steel tumblers, TU026, from xTool shop.
  2. Attach rotary device (xTool, RA2 Pro) to xTool F1 or xTool F1 Ultra.
  3. Remove handle from tumbler, using a Phillips-Head screw driver (one comes with the tumbler) and clamp tumbler into the rotary device. 
    1. Optional: Use tilt mechanism from Embrace Making, as this makes the process much easier. They have a number of awesome accessories for the xTool machines.

  4. Load the attached XCS file and switch to your xTool machine. Verify the settings match those on this page, to ensure nothing got changed when switching machines. 
    1. Setting 1 - Produces a smoother graphic, with slightly reducing the vertical laser lines in the flag's stripes. However, these lines aren't very noticeable, unless you're looking for them or inspecting the tumbler closely. 
    2. Setting 2 - Reduces the DPI, thereby speeding up the project. The reference picture shows these settings. The vertical lines will be a bit more apparent, but the project will only take about 11:30 to complete, instead of about 25:00. 
    3. Bottom Line: If you like the flag in the reference picture, go with Setting 2, to speed up the job. If the vertical lines in the reference picture bother you, go with Setting 2. (Alternatively, increase the DPI above 600 to smooth out the image a bit more; however, realize there's a sweet spot and a point of diminishing returns, and proceed at your own risk. You may consider having a tumbler dedicated for settings testing.). 
  5. Replace the motto placeholder, with your own, custom motto. I've used a standard text option, rather than a vector, so you can easily change the motto to anything you like, just by double clicking the text box. 
  6. Use the framing function to ensure proper placement.
