Hey brother, this links to the wrong bundle. I purchased the bundle but its the 20w.

@alsjka 11 месяцев назад

I used my 20w non infrared to engrave SS no problem 30 speed 100 % power.

@millionmilerclub Год назад

That is awesome. Thank you for doing the test work for us so we can retest here with ideas.

@CorneliusCreations Год назад

I’m glad you found it useful!

@JoeyMcNew-Drummer 10 месяцев назад

A quick funny side note... I've had one of these for about 8 months but I really though I was ordering a 20 watt pro as a backup to my 40 watt pro. I've been watching videos on this laser and went to look at the 20 watt to sell it and realized I was sent this one.. This was a couple of days ago. I jumped in on the LaserPecker 4 premium which is a little beast itself. But now, I'll have to get this one out and see how it works vs. the LaserPecker 4.

@CruiseMonkeyGames 3 месяца назад

Thank you for this video. My partner and I are wanting to get into laser engraving but the cost of one of the big commercial machines is pretty daunting. Adding the IR unit to a 20 W diode seems to be a great solution. Thank you for awesome demonstrations and great explanations, as always.

Can we engrave photo on metal?

@leffep Год назад

I used my IR module a lot now, and i do like the results, perfekt details always, but, it´s to slow for anything else than one off things. Larger pieces than small jewelry takes forever. As a complement for those occasions you do one or a few small metal pieces other than stainless, yes, anything else you do need to jack up to a fibre laser.

@babbagebrassworks4278 Год назад

Galvo lasers like the xTool F1 seem to have similar lasers but are faster for some reason. Also expensive

@Choedron 6 месяцев назад

Slow down the speed a little. Then it will be even better.

@doen.8724 Год назад

Thank you for sharing. I find the focus arm not accurate on my IR module. It focuses too high, and therefor it is a constant fiddle job. Made myself an acrylic block to a specific height that seems to set the module correctly. But even this block needs to be put under the module just right to adjust the module height. Setting the module on it too snug or too loose, changes the color of the engraving from black to white or grey on the silver sheet I am trying out. It is a fiddle job for sure. You better have a lot of patience if your focusing arm is not set correctly. When it works, it looks great. Trying gold next... will see. Not liking the brown color so much I see on your gold sample, hope to get more of a black. The detail is amazing, though. I would agree, even with my difficulties, for the money, it is a nice addition to the other modules. If you are serious about engraving metal, though, need deep engravings, and need to do production work to make money, investing in a faster 'real' fiber laser, spending the $3000 for an entry level machine, might make more sense.

@babbagebrassworks4278 3 месяца назад

@@theman-pc2ej I was installing the extension bed today, putting it back in when I noticed the 2 support rods are on a different spacing. Grr, took me ages to line up those T nuts that join the bed extrusions to the MDF. Turns out there are a few 3040 extension kits just like there are a few 3018. Nice laser, might have to upgrade, the 3018 was a nice toy to learn on but......

@theman-pc2ej 3 месяца назад

@babbagebrassworks4278 yea i still love my 3018.. came with a router originally but i upgraded to the laser and never went back. New one runs just the same for the most part but has two rotory things that make it even better..

@teresa6775 Год назад

I just purchased an xTool....so excited !!! QUESTION: CAN YOU USE THE LASER TO TRANSFER IMAGE AN ONTO WOOD FOR THE PURPOSE OF DREMEL CARVING IT??? This so you don't have to use graphite paper and any other method to transfer it onto the wood

@CorneliusCreations Год назад

So excited to hear this! You will LOVE IT! You sure can! And believe me.. it makes your life EASIER! I will be doing that this week!

@dwightstebner2345 Год назад

would this infrared module mount on any other gantry frame/ why would it have to be Xtool frame?

@theman-pc2ej 3 месяца назад

Prolly dont have to be xtool frame.. xtool is ok but ive seen better built setups for cheaper..

X Tool has a lot of sales. Keep alert. I got my infrared module for 399.00.

@chrissmith841 Год назад

Hello, I only want to engrave onto stainless steel. Would the normal laser do this or would i need a IR module? Thank you

The diode laser can do stainless, any other metal the IR is needed.

Im sending mine back focusing is a nightmare with this wasted loads of material and guess work to even get close and very slow. wished there was an easier way of focusing ..

@michaelwheatley5627 8 месяцев назад

My focusing arm is inaccurate too -- about 1.25 mm off. So I spent some time figuring out the correct focusing distance and then I 3d printed a block that I could put between the material and the lens of the laser and I use that for focusing.... it works great. I have also added the Z-axis height adjuster from AlivePixelCreates to my D1 Pro which allows me to fine tune the focus easily.

@marcoss6212 10 месяцев назад

Even the 10W watts can do rocks, same with slate, which is just another rock.

@highspeed9518 Год назад

I'm thinking about this for glock guns frames think it would be ok?

@CorneliusCreations Год назад

I haven’t tested this on any coated metal. Glock definitely has some crazy thick coating. Most people will use a Fiber laser for that type of stuff.

@highspeed9518 Год назад

I mean for plastic

@ainttakenanyshit 2 месяца назад

Good info, BUT, at ~ 3:30 you need to take a class on the proper use of a caliper. Try to always measure the item in the Flat portion of the caliper and have the object not on edge, (not perpendicular , but parallel). The reading you got was nowhere near the widest portion of the ring's diameter. FYI feedback to help you measure better.... Just say'in....
