$79 Cenoz laser engraver on Amazon... any good?

This thread has much detail about the NWT I’m using… paint is Krylon ColorMaxx flat-white.

More fun with lasers, Lightburn... dot correction, ceramic tile, and window glass

As Jan mentioned, the Rustoleum flat-white paints work well… and that’s what I started with also. When I ran out, I couldn’t find the Rustoleum but did find Krylon ColorMaxx flat-white paint+primer and am very happy with it… [20220328_095243] It is the titanium-dioxide ingredient that does the “magic”… turning black and fusing with the ceramic when hit with the laser. I posted this to another thread and it shows the exact process/setup I’m using to do these tiles… again, all credit goes to Ni…

I’ve used lasers from 2.3W up to Neje dual-diode laser (10W-12W)… they all will do ceramic tiles but each has its own best settings. I do a NWT grid tile for each one. Here are 5 different lasers test tiles… all using the same Krylon ColorMaxx flat-whte paint

Test tiles, different lasers… 2.3W, 3W, ~4.5W, ~5W and ~10W (left to right, top to bottom)

Find the “blackest black” and use that speed and power for best results with that laser and paint.
