A coated 20 oz tumbler on M2 with the RA3 Lite rotary. From xTool's rotary guide.
Step 1
Pick the design
Start from a tumbler project on Atomm, or turn a photo into line art with Atomm AI. The Font Generator sets the name.
Step 2
Mount the cup
Take a removable handle off with the screwdriver that comes with the tumbler, then mount the cup on the rotary with its axis level.
Step 3
Type the diameter
Choose rotary mode in xTool Studio and enter the diameter: the software works out the rotation from the circumference.
Step 4
Frame it, then engrave
Check that the cup turns without touching the laser head, then engrave: 3–6 minutes for a typical tumbler.
