Laser Engraving on Hand-Painted Canvas: Is It Worth the Trouble?

Can you laser engrave a canvas without spray paint? I tested it using hand-applied acrylic paint, and let's just say it didn’t go exactly as planned. In this video, I walk you through my full process: ✔️ Painting the canvas manually ✔️ Prepping MDF and canvas for engraving ✔️ Using XCS and the xTool S1 40W ✔️ The mistakes I made (bitmap settings, overburn, paint lifting) ✔️ What I’d do differently next time ✔️ The final engraving results If you’re a laser DIYer, hobbyist, or just curious if this method works, this video is for you. #xtools1 #laserengraving #diodelaser #woodshop #woodworking #laserengraving #DIY #DiodeLaser #LaserEngravingTips #DiodeLaserProjects #LaserDIY #LaserCrafts #MakerMilestone #1k MORE LASER ENGRAVING HERE 👉 https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLOc0ls6VzQ6ygWNgacHZbUYLER0Qk2K9h -------------------- PRODUCTS MENTIONED IN THE VIDEO 🛒 🛒 My xTool Affiliate Link: https://www.xtool.com/?ref=xlrxcjfb&utm_medium=affiliate&utm_source=goaffpro&utm_term=5306 ⚡My Laser! xTool S1 40W: https://www.xtool.com/?ref=xlrxcjfb&utm_medium=affiliate&utm_source=goaffpro&utm_term=5306 🚨 My Amazon Store (Affiliate Links): https://amzn.to/3YBoZ0M ✅xTool S1 40W: https://amzn.to/4ifG8VG 🛒Wagner Spray Tent: https://amzn.to/462F3wA (S) https://amzn.to/4oMOKqd (M) https://amzn.to/41j8VCe (L) -------------------- THE IMAGES I USE FOR MY ENGRAVINGS📸: 🚨 CREATIVE FABRICA (Affiliate Links) 🖼️Check out Creative Fabrica: https://tinyurl.com/45pd7ern 🖼️The Microphone: https://tinyurl.com/2zfvuxkd 🖼️The Other Mic: https://tinyurl.com/4bpcvkmn 🖼️Our Lord and savior: https://tinyurl.com/79hmcxmh 🖼️The Bike: https://tinyurl.com/bnd3h8ae 🖼️The Panther: https://tinyurl.com/72az2kc6 🖼️The Elephant Family: https://tinyurl.com/bdfxcwpa 🖼️The Kitty: https://tinyurl.com/y56a8mp7 🖼️The Tiger https://tinyurl.com/4wmb7p83 🖼️The Horse https://tinyurl.com/ydpxauw2 🖼️Picture Stands: 3mm: https://tinyurl.com/4xetra8h 5mm: https://tinyurl.com/5n7u323x -------------------- LETS BE FRIENDS! ❤️ Subscribe :: https://www.youtube.com/@severnabuilds?sub_confirmation=1 Instagram :: https://www.instagram.com/severnabuilds/ Facebook :: https://www.facebook.com/severnabuilds SUPPORT: 🥇 You can support me by joining me here on Youtube, click the join button above and pick the tier that works best for you!
