Atomstack X40 Max Review - Perfect for my Model Airplane Builds! 

Great review Steve! That is a really sweet diode laser. Holy cow 48 watts! Where will it end? 👍🏻

I love the size of this thing. Looking at upgrading from my longer ray 5 (great laser still) but im outgrowing it.

Great video!!! Very informative.

great video. I have the same laser did you know you can use marking points to make an object as long as you want regardless of the bed size you have.

Could u extend the panic stop button above the mess?

Hi Ilove your videos thank you. I am looking at the atomstaack x40 Max for some projects i will be doing and wondering if you have been using and still working as expected? thank you!

How did you get past the head sag? Mine is so bad that i have a hard time setting the focal. distance. Front where orange window is super tight and back is 2mm from touching. Tried some pencils tonight and wasn't even close to flat top of pencil 😢

Great review! I'm still tweaking settings, but your video helps a lot. I do have an issue with the Y-axis on the right side. It has quite a bit of wobble compared to the left side, especially when etching/cutting circles on the right side. They come out very distorted. I suspect belt tension, but haven't had the guts to try to change it. That long arm on the Max seems fairly flexible.

I just set one of these (non max version) up yesterday to replace my 5 year old Atomstack. 5w I think. What a difference, in all aspects. There's some great info in this video for settings, I need to start looking at those now I don't have to just run at 100% and hope. Thanks for the video.

Setting up my atomstack a70 max now. So ready to get started.

The geek bee honey comb seems kinda big...did you have to cut down the size i ordered my x40 max just wanna make sure i get the right size or if i have to cut it down to fit

Now to build it a home...

The one thing I caught when you were showing the examples- some were in metric, some in Imperial on the intervals. Really nice video showing off this beast of a diode laser! I've got a 10 watt sculpfun s30 Pro with the 900x900 expansion, added drag chain, enclosure and extraction fan. I can't wait to upgrade to a more powerful laser- for my diode I'm upgrading to the 30 watt that sculpfun has but I'm more looking forward to my first CO2 laser- I am really wanting to be able to cut clear acrylic, looking to get something between 60-80 watts to start with CO2 wise. That's all assuming an I am able to profit though, so we'll see- so far things are looking very promising with the Miniature buildings I've been creating. I'm allllmost ready to open up my shops on various platforms- starting off selling 1:64 scale model buildings- that's hotwheels scale, so far I have 4 modern Home kits that I'm preparing for sale right now and I'll be doing a lot of miniature stuff in the future to various scales along with tons of other stuff- that's just where I'm starting. I LOVE lasers! Wish I'd gotten into this stuff a long time ago. Anyway, nice video! It motivates me even more to get some income going so I can move up to higher powered lasers which will greatly increase efficiency! One thing about Atomstack products is that, from what I've come to understand, it requires Internet access and uses cloud storage. That's a giant downside to their products for Me, a deal breaker for Me. Maybe I'm wrong, though that's what I've heard. I hope I am wrong, their products seem great other than that one thing, local storage needs to be standard.

Got the x40 about a week ago, was wondering if you had issues with air assist? I have lightburn. Wired air assist according to manual, nothing works. If I plug power brick into air assist it works but laser does not. Any fixes? Contacted Atomstack no word. I may just get a 110v air assist and plug in. I know you reviewed it. Thanks for any help.

You can make a 4 x 36” design fairly easily by making your tool line 4x36” then add your pieces. When you go to cut the design out, highlight the pieces that fall into the actual cut size, the rotate the design and the wood both 180 degrees and then highlight the rest of the pieces to cut and start. Don’t change anything else and you can do all of it. I use this technique with my XTool to cut 12x19” or 12x24”.

Hi. A question about a problem I have (atomstack s40 + lightburn 1.0) It does not print images, with any choice (Jarvis, Stuki etc.) The laser head starts, performs the movements but the diodes do not light up. But the same image is printed correctly with LaserGrbl (so I exclude a technical problem) How to set on Lightburn? Thanks if you give me some advice

How you do with smoke?

what’s the difference between A40 Max & X40 Max?

Great video. I just purchased this model. Where do I find help setting it up. The instructions with it detailed how to build it, but no set-up...

Great Video ! I have a longer B1 30 watt and just bought the extension kit. Still have to put it together. Can you recommend and possibly do a video on a compatible camera for the larger workspace. All the videos i see are for your standard sizes without extension kits. After i install my Kit workspace will be 450 x 850. Not sure on what degree of the camera i should get so i have full view of the workspace. Height is not an issue i have not designed an enclosure yet until i figure out compatible camera. It appears that most cameras work well with square workspace and issues with large rectangular work space. I need help. Your Chanel is awesome i learned so much already. Keep up the great work 😊. Any help much appreciated. David - Las Vegas

Nice video. Bummer it doesn't have autofocus / powered z-axis.

did you know Atomstack r1 chuck compatible with Xtool ?
