Let’s celebrate our PiBurner of the week: Emily Caroline, aka That Mom With A Laser! About Emily’s Brand Emily is somewhat of a celebrity in the lasering world. She has over 400,000 views and 10,000+ subscribers on her YouTube Channel, That Mom With A Laser, where she creates valuable videos weekly –  and if you’re not subscribed, you’re missing out! She’s also built a huge following (17,000 members and growing) on FaceBook where a community of makers, especially Moms like Emily, help each other with all sorts of things from figuring out the next hottest selling item on their Etsy store to conjuring settings on their laser engraver. That Mom With A Laser, Inc. was born from a desire to give and help other women learn how to operate industrial laser engraving machines. I’m passionate about helping others turn their ideas into finished products and “owning their awesome” while they do it! – Emily How did she do it? When we asked her how the community formed she explained that there was a huge gap in content that was simple to understand and approachable for regular people to dive into. She couldn’t find much helpful content when she searched for answers to her questions about different projects on her Aeon Mira 7 laser. Most of the stuff out there were guys engraving guns and throwing around fancy laser terms. She wanted to do something different and found her niche with a friendly, no-nonsense style of explaining all things laser! For instance, check out one of our favorite videos on which laser you should buy and why: Which Laser Should I Buy?  And of course there is this gem: The outcome Hundreds and then thousands of women gravitated towards this content because it was exactly what they were looking for to grow their laser business, simply get better at using their machines, or even to work up the courage to dive in and make their first laser machine purchase. She kept in close touch with her audience, engaging with them and helping them each step of the way. She kept producing great videos focusing on her core content principles of clarity, simplicity, and value – and her audience grew and grew. It continues to multiply as she continues to crush it on content, and frankly, we think the sky is the limit. She is an affiliate for Aeon laser USA and Canada and now, (we are proud to say) she is also an affiliate for us at LensDigital where she helps people learn all about our products, including the laser rotary called PiBurn. About Emily We weren’t surprised to learn that Emily was a teacher before she started her laser business. Somehow, the ease with which she explains things and the clarity she brings to complex topics were perfectly translated from history class to lasers! She lives with her husband and three small kids in sunny South Florida. These days, Emily spends her time engaging with her followers, educating the public about lasers, creating digital files, and of course, striving to be a great mom, wife, and leader.

Check out PiBurn Gigs blog. We want to see you succeed with your laser business or hobby. Many makers ask us, how should we make money using your rotary? Well, to answer that question, we decided to create a series of blog posts featuring some of our awesome customers hoping this will serve as inspiration for others. The market is big. In fact, it's HUGE and growing. There are 32 million small businesses in the US alone. All of them need to connect with their customers. People want customization, and that's where you come in, addressing a significant gap in the market with your business. And the most surprising thing we found? The number of totally different ways you can grow your business is astounding! But does it make sense to invest in a premium rotary tool like the PiBurn? Well, think about it this way: Some of our customers charge 25$ per engraving a cup or tumbler. Just 30 tumblers (could be in just one order!) will cover the cost of the PiBurn and it will keep giving and giving. This is why so many of our customers swear by it - not only does it save them time and frustration (cheaper rotaries are just not as quality built and not as versatile) they think it's a real no-brainer. But instead of telling you this, we wanted to talk about their inspiring success stories. And the great news? You could be our NEXT featured PiBurner! We will write about you and your business, including the story on our blog, and blast it to our huge mailing list. Why read this blog? The PiBurner Spotlight Blog Series is built to help you succeed!

To celebrate the 4th of July, we decided to create this uniquely designed PiBurn - made in very limited quantities, just for 4th of July 2021. Take a look at the video here:  At LensDigital, we are laser focused on the success of our customers. We obsess about design and detail that make the PiBurn so unique in the market for rotaries. But for the 4th of July, we wanted to do something really special. While the PiBurn is already the best looking rotary out there, this special version is truly a work of art. Coated metal parts are then laser engraved with an image of an eagle and resemble the star spangled flag of our great nation. You can get one yourself, while supplies last We salute the great men in women in uniform who sacrifice so much for our freedoms and liberties. Happy 4th of July everyone!   LensDigital team  

We weren't sure if we can actually engrave this really bug tumbler/water bottle on PiBurn. Especially since it has this large handle that can't be removed. But we managed to engrave it with no issues. In addition in this video we go over important setup of PiBurn, we show from A to Z how to setup image and settings in Lightburn.  

You might already know how versatile PiBurn Rotary Attachment is, but did you know that it can also make Popcorn?
