Hi, I'm Shawn and welcome to GeekBuilders. This channel is about creating, experimenting, and entertaining- through fun videos and builds, the GeekBuilders family is promoting their love of Geek Culture and Making.
I have the 36w but have never used it lol. I purchased the extended rail kit with it and have no space to place it. I'm thinking of going back to the original rails and it will only be used to cut thick materials and such because I just got the wecreat vision 20w and it's so easy to use I love it.
Yeah.. The Atezr was a great machine, but with so many Class 1 options, it's difficult to keep promoting. I also have the WeCreat 20W and love it. Thanks for watching
I just wanted to say that I absolutely love your humor and extra little sound effects as well as your personal experience with each of these things. Keep up the fantabulous work! Can’t wait to get my WeCreat laser! Currently have an open 20w laser.
I think I used 1" PVC- use whatever size best matches your table legs. As far as height, it was about 12". Base the length on how tall you want the table to be when fully raised. I have a full video on the process here. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-djmrdwGcgQI.html
whats the difference between the 40w and the 2w IR? I am getting ready to make a purchase and want to know if I should get the kit that comes with the 2w IR. Is it for engraving different materials?
Ok, fair. Here are some negatives. 1. Using the machine feels like working in a bucket, it is not entirely comfortable to work within. 2. The built in rotary is a great convenience but does not allow for a lot of flexibility especially if the item has a severe taper. 3. The fume extraction could and should be a little better, an in line fan is a near necessity. 4. The machine is fairly tall in resting mode so should be place on a waist height or below surface to make it easier to work with. 5. The software will decent still has a lot of improvements that can be made. ---Anything else that might be deemed negative from my experience stems from diode technology, not WeCreat. I hope that helps a little.
Hi! Thank You for this review! I am interested in cutting acrylic clear, metallic and colorful words and single letters across a variety of fonts. Will it cut acrylic?
@@mateolivezey2105 Diode laser don’t usually do well with plastics- the laser usually melts the surface and it’s near impossible to get a clean good looking engrave. An IR laser or Fiber laser is your best bet
12:37 I’m looking at purchasing this machine. I’d like to add the additional exhaust fan. I can’t seem to find where you linked to it. Thank you and great information on the machine.
Hi man....I enjoyed your video and i too have an A24 Pro but my laser seems to lean forward on the gantry so its not level to the material surface i.e 4mm gap under front and 6mm at back . Could you confirm that yours is the same or level please and if it is then i need to somehow adjust the steel rollers etc to level it. This was how it was out of the box etc for me...Thanks in advance
I did have a few issues with the laser head tilting slightly I didn't spend a lot of time problem solving it and shimmed it short term. I would possibly check the Atomstack groups on Facebook to see if anyone has an explanation / better solution for an actual fix. Thanks for watching!
Thanks bro! You earned a new Sub. Ive been researching Lasers for quite awhile now. Been lea ing on the WeCreat. Im going to use your link and pull the trigger now. Thanks again
@@charlenechoate17 I've cut several things, but I do have similar issues at times. The breakpoints should help, I have changed up the bottom a little bit to prevent items from dropping down and getting stuck. I will be doing a follow up video to demo some of this shortly
Woah!! What a game changer! I have some Real Estate Clients that are going to be hitting you up soon! Also, how cool are those stencils that were created after your cut outs. I feel like spray painting a wall with all those possible designs.
If you have the WeCreat air purifier, you should not smell much from your machine. It is normal to have a little smell, but not what it sounds like you are describing. WeCreat support will probably have you check all your connections and verify that your filter is not old/clogged. If everything is in order, I would recommend contacting support to see what else they can suggest
Thanks for the video. I liked your table comparison at the end the most. I wish there was a table that compared and showed everything. Size, laser powe, cost, unique features, etc.
You could possible engrave the inside of a tray. You would possible have to set it at a slight angle and make sure that the focus height does not lower the machine lower than the size of the tray to avoid a collision
This is at least the third review I've seen between these things with no determining opinion from anyone on anything one way or the other, but as you and others have mentioned, the Xtool has more costly accessories so for that reason (and some other reason I can't think of at the moment) I'm gonna go with the Wecreate, though I'm sure they are equally fine machines. Just got hit with a home insurance bill though, so it looks like I'll have to wait until next month or so to get started. Ugh.
I can try to be even a little more transparent here. My machine of choice is actually the xTool S1. It is a more comfortable machine to work with, the company has been around longer and has a more robust community… but the main reason is that the S1 is my wife’s machine of choice and she is the one that processes most of the batch orders. But here’s one more but… each machine will do the same work equally well, the bigger decision might be 20w vs 40w. Recreates 40w machine is out, my first showing of the machine will be next week.
This is one of the best videos explaining the Atom25 Pro. Thank you! I wonder if you could make a video that explicitly shows how to connect all the wires. I’m totally overwhelmed trying to figure out where they all go!
Some nice tests. I wonder if on the tennis balls you could first engrave the background with low power to remove the fuzz and the run the actual engraving
That's a cool idea. I wonder if it might even more efficient to use a small shaver on the area first and then engrave. It might be worth trying both, Thanks for watching
I have not tried the 40w, but based on what I know I would suggest this to help you decide. If detailed engraving is the priority then you want the 20w. If you plan on doing high volume cutting, the 40w is the best option.
It definitely is..... but, Co2 are still a better overall option when possible. I hope your new laser is working out well for you... I'm. hoping we can all catch up soon.
If you take the cover off the flame sensor, there's a variable resistor inside you can turn to adjust it. And you can engrave clear acrylic. Just leave the paper on it and mirror the image.
I figured out the flame sensor after I released the video, I just never posted an update. As far as the clear acrylic, I have not tried it with diodes, but I have been able to engrave clear glass. I will try the acrylic with your recommendation. Thanks for watching.
