First thing I did was take off the handle of the tumbler so it can rotate in the chuck without issue. There was 2 screws holding the handle to the cup. I removed the screws and placed the handle and screws to the side (I reattach after the cup is finished.

THIS IS A TRICKY PART

You need to know exactly how far around your cup goes. 
I did steps very similar to how Lily Rose Creations on Youtube demonstrated. She was my starting point and I made adjustments along the way.

I've learned that my cups run 3.5in diameter and the wrap has to be 11.03in. It still gives me a very minor gap, but close enough.

Next, you need to have some sort of leveler to level the cup. 


The leveler I use is one I did NOT create myself. However, I ordered the file off Etsy.
I hope the link below take you right to it, but if not the screenshot is the one I used.

After I place the cup on the leveler (I eye the site to see if it looks level from the top of cup to bottom of cup) I then make sure that the whole cup is evenly placed in the machine.
To do this I look at the tabs (that holds the handle). I move the laser over both making sure the light off the laser hits the bottom of the tabs evenly.

Once your cup looks like it was placed evenly in the machine, the next step is do perform a Touch Test.
When I do mine, I place the light in the middle of the dip in the cup (like shown) then use the “Auto-Measure” button.

Now your cup is ready to get the image ready.
Place the laser light to the very top of the cup (far right side).
Then make sure to position your picture to match that corner.

Same as step 5, but on the opposite of the cup (far left side).
BE SURE TO LOCK THE IMAGE SO IT DOESN'T MOVE WHEN YOU ARE STRETCHING THE IMAGE

Step8

Once you think you have your image ready, select the “framing” button and watch and ensure that it is placed correctly and your cup is properly in the chuck.

If the framing looks good, then you are ready to run your image!! Mine takes me 1hr 50min just to run wrap.

Post your results down below, I'd love to see how well your tumbler worked for you. Add any tips or tricks (or even your own settings) as well <3
