Snoopy - 40oz White Rainbow Plated Tumbler
The Creator Spark Challenge
Instruction
Instruction
Step1
First thing is to take off the handle of the tumbler, so it can rotate in the chuck without issue.
There are two screws holding it to the cup. Remove and place accessories to the side.
Grab a tool and bend your handle tabs so they are bent and won't effect the laser head.
Attach handle AFTER cup is finished
Step2
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.
Step3
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.

Step4
After placing cup on leveler, I eye the site to see if the top of cup looks even to the bottom of the cup. Then I make sure that the cup is evenly placed in the machine.
I do this by moving the laser to the tabs and make sure it glides straight through both of the bottom tabs.
Step5
Once your cup looks like it was placed evenly in the machine, the next step is to perform a Touch Test.
When I do mine, I place the light in the middle of the dip in the cup (as shown) then use the "Auto-Measure' button.
Step6
Now your cup is ready and now it's time to get your 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.
The image is of a different wrap, but the process is the same
Step7
Repeat Step 5 but the opposite side of cup (far left side).
BE SURE TO LOCK THE IMAGE BEFORE ADJUSTING SO IT STAYS LOCKED IN ON THE RIGHT SIDE
Step8
Once you think you have your image ready, select the “framing” button and watch to ensure that the image is placed correctly on your cup and your cup rolls evenly in the chuck.
Step9
If the framing looks good, then you are ready to run your image!!
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
REMEMBER every machine (even the same exact machine as mine) can all run a little different in the settings
