JeroenHaringman It'snice that it ran the demo, but I'm curious: is there any documentation so you can write your own code?

JeroenHaringman Well, the description says 800 watts at 12 volts. That's about 67 amps. So if you have, for instance, a 200 Ah battery, this unit may run somewhere between 2 and 3 hours.

JeroenHaringman 660 nm (nanometer) is red. This is essentially a panel of red LEDs.

Q: Hello! Please tell me the right size of this panel! Thank you!

JeroenHaringman About the size of a piece of A3 paper, which is way smaller than the photos would suggest.

Q: Can you engrave photos on stainless tags with this device?

Asked by Cherise1907 on 2021-09-01 03:35:37

JeroenHaringman The seller's answer is absolute nonsense, the laser is 5.5 watts, definitely NOT 40 watts. I wish the seller would stop continuing this lie. the entire device (controller + stepper motors + laser) doesn't even draw 40 watts. I don't know if you can engrave stainless Steel, I've not tried that, but aim going to guess it may be difficult.

I've been using it for six months. This was my first laser cutter. The good stuff: * The price. The price is an order of magnitude lower than even basic CO2 laser cutters. The new generation of diode lasers really is a game changer. * It came with laser protection glasses (although I have no way of knowing how effective/safe they are). * It's very easy to assemble. The manual is clear, all parts are present, even some small tools are included. Well packaged. * It works right out of the box. The included software is basic, but easy to understand and use. * If you understand and stay within the limits of the laser (it is 5,5W, NOT 40W), cutting and engraving works very well for light plywood up to 3 mm. The mediocre stuff: * I soon reached the limits of the included software, and purchased Lightburn. There are other options. * The accuracy of the frame/stepper motors is limited. You can calibrate all you want, but sometimes a cut (for instance when closing a circle) just ends up ± 0.1mm away from where it should be. * The limited laser power means relatively slow cutting speeds. The bad stuff: * The marketing, no outright LIES, about the laser power. This is not 40W nor is it comparable to a 40W CO2 laser. It's a 5,5W laser, just call it that! * The cutter does not come with a case. This is bad for two reasons: safety and air pollution. In my opinion, no laser cutter should be sold without a case with a lid. * No ventilation system. This is NOT a device you just put in your living room like a printer. This thing generates smells, smoke, particulates and no doubt other unhealthy stuff. I built a closed wooded box around the cutter, suck the exhaust air out of it with a bathroom fan and a flexible harmonica-type hoses, and vent it out of a window. Again, in my opinion, no laser cutter should be sold without a proper ventilation system. But, when all is said and done, this is an affordable laser cutter, very good for light hobby work. I'm happy with the purchase.
