Detailed Tutorial & Material Tests - Ortur Laser Master 2 Pro Laser Engraver 

Thanks. I will put the other files here www.techydiy.org/ortur-laser-master-2-pro/

There is now a user configurable grid test built into Lightburn. It’s in Laser Tools menu - Material Test.

The best video of ever!, thnx a lot. You helpme to understand this machina, im really New on this tipe of works.

Thanks for watching

Thanks

Thanks

Glad you liked it!

Thanks

Thanks

Thanks. Blue lasers can’t directly engrave transparent materials.

It depends on the type of wood and how thick it is. The SF module can still cut easily enough anyway.

I have not tried it

Thanks for watching

If you mean what stroke width should you set in Inkscape then the minimum width possible as it tends to be deducted from the width / depth of the exported object. You can change the view to outline to see the shapes better ( the menu says something like outline, I don’t have access at the moment so I can’t check)

@@techydiythank you, I am trying to create a wastboard grid (or any outline shape) on MDF on inkscape and then export to laserGRBL. Your tutorial is one of the few that incorporate inkscape and laser GRBL for laser cutting and engraving. and I was wondering what should be the stroke width for the horizontal and vertical lines to be engraved. another question would emerge should I just create individual lines and group them together or create a single line and use path effect (create grid), not sure which method would be efficient to be sent to LM2 pro 10A. there is also the consideration to avoid extra burn on the overlapping between the HLines and Vlines (or any other overlapping shapes outline)

Yes

Just finger tight, not too much.

The version for gcode controllers (Not DSP coontrollers)

It will cut paper (how well it cuts, depends on the paper colour) but I wouldn't buy one for that purpose.

Sure, it helps to allow fumes to escape from behind when cutting. It is a cheap alternative to a honeycomb table. Another alternative is a pin table.

I have only ever tried black, so I don't know.

@@techydiy is it worth a try?

Assuming there is a lot of cutting and you will be using air assist, then I would go for the LF.

No, I would think most dark colours would work though.

Yes it can cut and engrave, cutting just takes more power

I don't use them heavily enough to find out.

The official Ortur website recommends 100% power for most material cut settings so I would think it’s perfectly fine. I have had no issues. The important things to be careful about are accurate focussing and a clean laser lens. Air assist makes a world of difference 👍🏻.

Lasergrbl, it is in the video.

It cuts cardstock fine

Cuts fine

It won't directly engrave transparent acrylic, you need to put something on it like dry wipe marker pen then laser the image.

Lighburn works with Mac. Yes it is Ortur's top model.

No

Thanks. You don't need to change the focal length unless the material is thicker than about 6mm. In that case just drop it down by half the depth roughly. I quite often flip thick material over instead and cut from both sides.

@@techydiy Thanks for the info

@@techydiy How to you line up the lines on the back so you can cut from both sides?

Thanks. o2creative.co.nz/laser/

It’s built into the Lightburn menu bar now. Laser Tools - Material Test.

ebay or Amazon they are quite common

It will melt it but be careful about poisonous fumes

Lf if you mostly want to cut out, SF if you mostly want to engrave

No, you shouldn't need to lubricate anything. It is probably counter productive.

www.thingiverse.com/thing:4968626 I use a large shop compressor. But an airbrush type is probably fine. I would search or ask for opinions on the lightburn forum

Yep

No. You want a co2 laser to cut transparent acrylic. See the video I made about laserbox

You can use a small airbrush type

SF for mostly engraving
