General HOBBY Laser Engraving Instructions/Flux Beamo Engraving Instructions WITHOUT the
rotary attachment
•Place the pint glass onto the laser bed and align to the zero point on the laser bed.
oFor best results, utilize a jig to help hold the pint glass level and in place during engraving.
oFlux Beamo: Position the pint glass on the laser bed. Elevate the bottom of the glass so that the
side of the pint glass is parallel with the laser head.
Removing the cutting grid insert may be necessary for secure positioning of the pint glass.
•Adjust the laser focus to the surface of the pint glass.
oWith the pint glass on its side, focus the laser just off of the highest point of the pint glass side
(usually approx. ¼” to the left or right of the highest point of the side of the pint glass).
•Once the artwork is positioned, engrave using the suggested starting settings.
oFlux Beamo: Use suggested starting settings listed in the Flux Beamo chart above.
oSettings may need adjusted depending on the laser tube wattage.
oLaser focus may need to be slightly offset from the highest point of the curvature of the
drinkware in order to accommodate more engraving width on the pint glass when the pint glass
is engraved stationary (not using a rotary attachment).
•When finished, remove the pint glass from the laser bed.
•If cleanup is needed, wipe the engraved areas with a clean cotton cloth lightly misted with isopropyl
alcohol or a kitchen degreaser cleaner.
