Final update (5/27/2022): We are now out of V3 and won’t be making any more. Please see our V4 PiBurn Product page

PiBurn is a roller-style rotary attachment for laser engraving machines. The innovative PiBurn rotary allows you to engrave cylindrical objects such as cups, tumblers, glasses, bottles, and champagne flutes with ease and precision. It will securely hold the object while rotating so that the laser can engrave it line by line.

 

PiBurn will work with most, if not all, Ruida controller-based laser machines. It’s configured out of the box to work with Boss Lasers, Aeon, Thunder Laser (+$100 extra), Koenig Lasers, OM Tech, TTP Sunray 35, Rabbit Laser, and Laguna as well as many 50W eBay laser machines. Other lasers that our customers use it with are Stealth Laser, E-Bay lasers, and most Chinese-made lasers. For these lasers and some others, The PiBurn works Plug and Play out of the box, no modification required.

Proudly handmade in the USA.

Why buy the Pi?

We asked Todd Tomlinson, who runs an online customization business: Visit His Etsy

If you do the math — say you make just $10/tumbler (I make more sometimes) – that’s only 80 tumblers to pay for a Pi. My first order was for 48 — so paid for 1/2 in one order. Tumblers/Mugs are the easiest thing to sell as everybody wants / uses them. Stan Altshuller and Len Karchevsky created an amazing ATM machine 🙂 for your shop. Have faith in your ability to pay for it quickly.

Some customers charge 20$ and even more to engrave tumbrels. But how should our customers go about selling their awesome drinkware?

Here is a suggestion: All you have to do is get in your car – drive down main street in your city – take pictures of the businesses who would likely use or sell tumblers – make one – with their logo – walk in and deliver it and have a friendly conversation. Watch the orders pour in.

 

Here is a “How To” video from the one and only That Mom with a Laser!

PiBurn 3.0 comes with standard feet, but there is an option for magnetic feel available. This is ideal for the slanted bed of Boss and Koenig machines but can be used with any machine. When you don’t need them, they fold away.

No assembly required! Now your PiBurn comes fully assembled, and ready to go!

The PiBurn was previously shipped partially assembled to avoid damage during shipping. However, thanks to our new packaging and handling upgrades the PiBurn comes to you fully ready to go. Just unpack and plug it in.

PiBurn now comes with a Full 1 year warranty for motor and all parts.

You don’t have to worry about the longevity of the PiBurn. We have customers who have engraved thousands of tumblers, and it is still going strong! But now, put all your worries to rest for good because each PiBurn comes with a 1-year warranty on all parts and motor.

 

 

Feel the Love!  Here is what our customers are saying

I’ve owned two lasers and three rotaries prior to buying the PiBurn. I won’t say I’m an expert as there are many laser owners who have done far more tumblers than me.

I’ve always been leery of the accuracy of rotaries. I could never run something twice and expect it to be exact the same second time. That is until now. The PiBurn has allowed me to step my tumbler game up. I have complete confidence it’ll be the same every time and I’ve tested it. This PiBurn works flawlessly on everything from wood pens (I make these as well) to growlers and everything in between. My only regret is I didn’t buy my PiBurn last year!!

Mark J. Warnow (verified owner) 

I own two rotaries. I purchased the first one at the same time I purchased my laser. I got consumed in learning to operate my new laser and before I even had a chance to set it up my first rotary, the laser community had perked my interest in the PiBurn. I did my due diligence and researched every source I could find. I was truly hoping to be able to talk myself out of the PiBurn (since I already owned a brand new rotary!), but everything I saw/heard convinced me that it truly was the best option – both for ease of use & in it’s ability to handle a greater variety of sizes.

I’m still relatively new to this scene, but after running dozens of tumblers/water bottles, I am convinced it was money well spent. I making a very quiet entrance into the business side of things (primarily through word of mouth), but these tumblers have been my most popular request and biggest money maker thus far.

It’s important to note that the customer service has been superb. I have really appreciated how attentive Stan & Len are. I’ve only had a couple questions/concerns so far, but their responsiveness has been impressive!

Jen Spencer (verified owner) 

What can I say, best accessory purchase I’ve made for my laser. I wanted to try a rotary and even purchased one from my laser manufacturer, that was a mistake. I researched and found the PiBurn, ordered it and haven’t looked back since.
I have 48 tumblers to engrave this weekend and this will be no problem for the PiBurn.
If you are looking for a rock solid, easy to use rotary then look no further, order yours immediately!

Michael Kirk (verified owner)

My old rotary was made of 3D-printed parts. After only a year of heavy use. It started to bend. I ruined so many cups because of this! Once I found the Pi I laughed ,thinking it was overpriced. But I needed a good rotary so I decided to bite the bullet and buy it.
After using it for about 4 months now I can’t believe how cheap I was being!!
This Pi is easy to use. So simple to switch different sizes cups. It’s a time saver and also a quality build! I have not messed up one cup since switching over. I love the Pi!!

Jason M. (verified owner)

This thing is amazing! It’s really expanded our business and after just a week it’s payed for itself! Customer service is amazing, shipping was fast and instructions were very simple/Helpful when I assembled. I think they even come assembled now so even easier!

Matthew Reger (verified owner)

I have owned several rotaries and this one by far outshines them all. The team behind it are fun and helpful. I wish I had seen it sooner so I could have avoided some of the headaches I had with the others.

23 reviews for PiBurn Laser Rotary Attachment 3.0 (Discontinued)

  1. Tommy Schie (verified owner)

    I have a Thunder laser and was considering buying the rotary they recommend. After doing a ton of research I went with the PiBurn. Let me tell you it is 100% worth the price. It has one of the best build qualities of any tool I’ve ever purchased, not just laser related. The adjustments are very easy, the directions from Lens Digital in the manual on how to get set up in Lightburn were all I needed. I was engraving tumblers within 30 min of unboxing it and even took a risk and engraved my sons T-Ball bat!!

    I cannot recommend this product enough. I had no problem paying extra to use it with my Thunder because it works so well.

    Also, a shout out to the Lens Digital partners. I know there are a few but Stan is always active in the various laser forums and facebook groups. I’ve never seen them push a product on people they are always there to provide support. I can tell they are proud of their product, as they should be.

  2. Luba (verified owner)

    I have been doing a lot of research on rotaries and decided to go with the PiBurn! IT DID NOT DISAPPOINT!!! Definitely recommend getting this rotary. It is easy to adjust to the height and length you need to fit the item you want to laser.
    I am so excited with all the new items I am able to laser!!!

  3. James Gerbasi (verified owner)

    Customer Service:
    I had a handful of questions before purchasing and their response was quick and answered all of my questions in depth. Shipping was faster than anticipated. I had a few questions after receiving my PiBurn 3.0 and they were answered quick again.

    Quality:
    The quality of parts and craftsmanship that went into the PiBurn 3.0 is incredible. The PiBurn 3.0 is leaps and bounds better than rotary I purchased with my laser. (it was like an overpriced erector set that I used to play with as a kid). The very precise and easy to read instructions helped me get my PiBurn dialed in faster than I could have imagined. The PiBurn will pay for itself quickly.

  4. Karmen Heatwole (verified owner)

    If I could I would write a 5-star review every time I use my PiBurn.

    If you are hesitant due to price, please hear me when I say JUST BUY IT! You will not regret it at all. I am someone who prefers quality over quantity, doing the job right the first time and letting mistakes grow you this accessory to my laser engraver has been golden.

    (short story background)
    I worked for an engraving business and ran it for over a year so I was extremely excited to start my own business. However, due to some hardships, I started my business with no funds and no extra money for error. I couldn’t afford company A’s engraver (that I had prior experience with) so I had to venture out and look at company B’s, so when I got my laser and the rotary that came with it believe me when I say I was incredibly disappointed in that company B’s rotary. I cannot tell you how many times I cried over it and hated going out to even use my machine because of it. An amazing mentor/rescuer, Ben G, told me about PiBurn and introduced me to the owners it was a blessing straight from above.

    Key Features I LOVE –
    – the clear and precise directions and tutorials
    – the amazing customer service (think #PiBurn being the Bat-Signal)
    – the genuine interest of the owners and their drive to help everyone succeed
    – the constant innovation and willingness to change, grow and listen to the buyer
    – the tutorials – I watch them even if I wasn’t looking for that particular topic because you are guaranteed to learn something new and helpful

    I could go on and it’s taken me way too long to write this because I feel like I can’t do the product justice but yall PiBurn

    After upgrading my laser, I wanted to take the next step and go all in with a rotary. I read all the reviews and watched all the videos and decided I had to go with PiBurn. From the very beginning their customer service it took notch. They quickly responded to my questions both via email and FB messenger. I’m so please with my purchase!

  9. Crystal Tidwell

    The first time I used my PiBurn was about a week into my laser journey. I know – I’m crazy. Barely know how to use my laser and already tackling this! But it was so easy! The folks at PiBurn answered all my questions and when things weren’t lining up quite perfectly, they took the time to explain why this was happening (totally user error) and I was able to get it perfect! I absolutely love my PiBurn. My only regret is buying it before they offered the fun limited prints on them occasionally!

    Get this – you WONT regret it.

    I have been watching others have so much fun with their Piburn Laser Rotary Attachment in different laser groups. I think I read every post, watched every video and when I ordered my second Mira laser I knew the PiBurn rotary was going to be my first purchase after my machine arrived. My first impression is that this is a QUALITY device. All metal parts and it comes assembled. Upon first sight I knew what I heard was true. This is a MUST have!!! I had a few repeat customers asking if we can engrave on glass or tumblers and being a business owner, I learned years ago to never leave money on the table. I never want to say no to a valued customer, and now I can say YES! I have only had my rotary a few weeks but have successfully engraved 5 tumblers with EASE! I can’t wait until the busy Christmas season is over so I can spend some quality time with my PiBurn engraving on different items. If you you are on the fence about making this investment my advice would be to go ahead and order one. Don’t leave money on the table or in someone else’s pocket. You deserve a PiBurn. The customer service is FIVE star and so is the machine.

    Great equipment, stable and multi functional.

    I love my Pi Burn! I recently had a very large order. With the help of Stan and some others I was able to properly use the Pi Burn to get through them fairly quick! Thank you!

  17. Shawn Bashaw

    Exceptional product but even better service! I had an issue with my rotary and chatted with Stan for a few minutes. Within 10 minutes of starting the chat I had a tracking number for the part. Thank you guys, I am a true believer!!

  18. JEFF REIN (verified owner)

    What a great tool! This is my 5th and last rotary! The thought, design and construction of this was well executed for sure!

  19. John Proce

    Received my PiBurn a few weeks ago, complete newb to rotaries, Stan was on top of every question I had, great customer service before and after the sale, thanks Stan. PiBurn is well built, I haven’t had any other rotary experience but I see no reason to look for alternatives.

  20. Tom E.

    I have the PiBurn and love it. Very easy to use. The ability to adjust it for level and the ease of adjusting for length make it perfect for a beginner like me to do all sizes of tumblers and cups.

  21. Todd T.

    PiBurn V3  build quality is amazing. When you run your laser has hard and as long as we do during the holiday season – having the Pi will let you sleep at night. We had a good one before, but the Pi just raises the bar – a lot. Machined parts instead of 3D printed – how things are constructed make changing over between sizes a breeze – and switching from smaller to huge items that require that you remove the clamp (e.g., growlers, 32oz water bottles) is significantly easier and faster with the Pi. Time is money – precision is money – the Pi saves time and is precise.

    Let me just tell you how amazing this company is and how awesome the products they are making are.
    A little over 6 months ago I reached out on a local facebook page to get some help at starting the ball rolling to learn about the new Laser machine that was about to enter my classroom. For the past 10 years I had written grant after grant trying to bring technology to the kids that I had access to everyday and was always turned down. So this past fall, we finally got the wording right and the time line lined up just right to get approved for a grant that now has exciting opportunities to my classroom and future generations to come.
    LensDigital reached out their hand and asked to be part of the footwork that I was starting in our local rural school to give these kids a shot at something more than just an answer to a quiz or homework problem but instead to allow them to use their imaginations to bring items to life that once only existed in their imaginations. The rotary tool that they offered to provide was like a breath of fresh air because as I am sitting here now typing this I have list to my right of the next things in line to write grants for in order to make their space the most imaginative place I can. I want these kids to learn to fail so that they get back up and try again. I want them to see that struggles can lead to some real success that that with each bump in the road their suspension gets stronger. LensDigital provided us this amazing piece of technology that has been outstanding. It was super simple to use right out of the box and the kids have become experts at its use. The rotary is so easy and well thought out that I have not had one minutes trouble making it do what it was designed to do. The one time I had a user error the company was the first to reply to see if they could make it turn out right. I would not recommend this company if this was not the feeling in my heart 100% but I honestly believe before you go sink triple the amount of money into a different device that you take a second look at what this company has to offer without over-charging, you are getting more bang for your buck. The PiBurn has a well thought out design that is functional and super slick in its appearance. Thank you LensDigital for giving us the amazing gift and being part of something much bigger than you or I.
