Step 1: Find image

Find an image from your folder

Step 2: Attach rotary tool

Attach the rotary tool so that you can read the numbers. The motor should be to the right as you face the machine.  

Step 3: Measure the point where you want the image on the cup and how big you want your image

Use a ruler to find the size. I use millimeters. Mark your center point.

Step 4: Place tumbler on rotary

The opening of the tumbler should face to the right. With about 1/8th of an inch off the motor so it rolls freely. 

Step 5: Focus the laser, Place crosshairs where your measure point is

Focus the laser using the kickstand on the side and then place the led crosshair  on your marked centerpoint 

Step 6: Place image in laserbox or XCS

Drag your photo to Laserbox or XCS

Step 7: Size image to preference

Type in the Height and Width of your image in the menu on the right side. 

Step 8: Power 84%, Speed 54, Sharpness 100%

Engraving settings for Yeti tumblers are 84% power and 54 mm/s speed with 100 Sharpness

Step 9: Rotate image 90 degrees right, center the laser in the software, frame, ensure the correct size

While using the Rotary your image needs to be rotated 90 degrees to the right so the top of the image is towards the top of the tumbler. 

 

If doing an image like a name up the side of a tumbler this step can be skipped. 

Step 10: Start laser

These settings are for yeti tumblers, their powder  coat seems to be abit tougher compare  to cheaper tumblers. 

 

All my tumblers are done between 79% and 84% power at 54 speed. Using the same method. Colored tumblers seem to take a little more power vs  the black ones. 

Step 11: Clean with magic eraser and wash in sink with dawn dishsoap and warm water

After your done clean the product with a magic eraser. There are several off brand packs that are far cheape  from Amazon. I usuall  cut mine in half and get multiple uses from each half. The magic eraser is activated by a little bit of water. I rinse the cup and start wiping it down with the magic eraser. Ensure to scrub out the imaged to the best of your ability.
