How to Achieve Colorful Skull Engraving on Tile | Laser Engrave, Ceramic, Art Piece

In this post, I'll show you how to create a vibrant, colorful skull engraving on a white tile using your laser engraver. This simple ceramic art project adds a spooky yet stylish touch to any space, and all you need is a laser engraver and some spray paints. Don't miss out, give it a try!

MATERIALS:

1. White Tile (10x10cm or as preferred, for Alcohol Ink Painting, Decorating
2. Spray paint

EQUIPMENT:

1. Machine: NEJE Max 4
2. Module: E40(10w diode)
3. Software: Lightburn

Start by preparing your white tile for the colorful engraving. Spray two coats of different colors on various areas of the tile to create sections of color. Wait for each layer to dry completely before moving on.

Once dry, apply a final layer of matt black spray paint over the entire tile to cover the colors underneath—this will reveal the vibrant layers during engraving.

Connect your NEJE Max 4 machine to your computer and open the Lightburn software. Place the painted tile on the laser engraver's work area and set the focus. Download the skull design DXF file and upload it directly into the Lightburn. Adjust the file size and position to fit your tile's dimensions as needed.

With the file uploaded, configure the engraving settings in Lightburn: Set the speed to 3000 mm/min, power to 30%

Once everything is set, start the engraving process. The laser will burn through the top black layer, revealing the colorful undercoats in a stunning skull pattern.

Now you have completed your colorful skull engraving on tile! The speed of 10w diode should be around 2800 to 3800mm/min, if you machine is more powerful, then speed up it. And you can also use black spray for a black and white version or use titanium oxide for assisted engraving
