The rotary attachment is great for long pieces but you must first build a jig to stop it slipping on the rollers as it tips either end. I used mdf and 3dprinted rollers with bearings and it works great now.
Would like to see a demo of a hi res photo bordered with a highly detailed filigree. I think you will find that the filigree is not as sharp as the middle portion of the workspace.
@@TheeRocker The solution is a sturdy light-sealed enclosure with safety interlocks and an e-stop in accordance with ANSI or ISO standards, along with proper operator training and an EH&S officer that gives a shit about workplace safety.
This is rough - can’t figure out how “sponsored” this video is. So many bad reviews on this unit and the company but I’m in love with the compact design and portability of this unit.
Great Test. But the dot size can be affected by the direction of the wood structure (because if hard and soft area) you could rotate the test piece by a quarter turn and laser and measure again or just use other material then wood which is more even
Thank you for all the information. I learned the most from watching you. Now I can play around with the LaserPecker Pro that Ive had for more than a year. Lol
I like the build quality and amazing attention to detail on the whole LP product range, except the L2 rollers, because gnarling is traditionally used to improving finger grip on rotary knobs, it doesn't really grip things only resting on it. It also tends to lose grip easily unlike rubberised or silicon rollers. They may look aesthetically pleasing, but in my book functionality and practicality ranks much higher.
Great review. I've been waiting for galvos to become affordable. Great trend right now. At 13:17 you started saying the width was 1,000 mm. Is it really 100mm? I finished the video and you did say 100mm. Nicely done. I'm hoping we see a lot more galvo laser offerings and reviews from you. thanks!
Most of my projects are of wood. How would I engrave the center of a 12" or 16" wood bowl with my logo and signature. Doesn't look like it would work for my wood bowl needs. Good review BTW :)
I Just Bought a Laser Pecker 3, I am New to Lasers and this has no Manual! How do I get Black Markings on Various Metal Types Including Zinc Alloy with Electroplated Coating? Do I need a product like "Brilliance"? Thanks!
I just got a Autero Laser2 a day wou.d li,like, to do the tests you did in your video but I can't find it. Canyon send me the link. I enjoyedyourvideo and Plano watching more of them. Thanks😊
Will a model be available in the near future capable of engraving bare metal surfaces? The cost would increase considerably for such a device, but would be worth it.
There has been an announcement of a Laserpecker 3, which they're saying will be designed to work with metal, which *sounds* like perhaps a fiber laser, but if it is, its likely to be a lot more expensive than the LP1 or 2.
I might not have had the settings dialed in but this probably wouldn't be the best bet, especially due to the size of the machine. I would go with Ortur or Atomstack for that.
On the website, the 2nd version is able to cut, and I watched another RU-vid video demonsrating cutting wood. This is the statement from the website: "Thanks to the 5W semiconductor laser with the upgraded version of compressed spot technology You can have a higher standard and more powerful laser cutting with LaserPecker 2. Wood, paper, acrylic, leather goods with a thickness under 5mm." The website also provided images as well,
Is there a way to import your own files to the app or on the computer? It seems pretty pointless if the only customization you can do is text or drawing.
How did you get your machine? Was it from China? I have ordered one 4 months ago, and have many conversations with them and still no answers as to where my order is.
I am just getting into Pneumatic gun engraving but my by-hand drawing skills aren't very good. I am thinking one could paint the gun surface and use this laser engraver to put your art work on the painted surface so you can trace with pneumatic engraver tool. And if you don't like the way your artwork looks you can just remove the paint and start over without scaring the metal surface. What are your thoughts on this??
i have a problem with this laser pecker 2.1.i can't find the laserpecker 2 app in the google play store. and 2 i download the windows program and then i got a message popping up that i need a openGL program.want to download this and I can't came up.So how do i connect now the laser with any device?
HOW CAN I CHANGE THE DIMENSIONS OF THE OBJECT WITHOUT ALTERING THE OTHER. WHENEVER I DETERMINE ONE OF THEM, IT AUTOMATICALLY CHANGES THE OTHER TO MAINTAIN THE RATIO. CAN YOU HELP ME PLEASE? THANK YOU
The company has been almost a year late in shipping orders. Mine was supposed to arrive in May21. Still haven’t received it. Wouldn’t waste your money until the company gets its act together. Paying them is a risk.
If there's a flat or nearly flat area on the controller, maybe? Curves, or compound curves are going to be an issue, but that's going to the the case with any laser engraver really.
I read reviews on the Facebook and many buyers claim they never received the laser. Many also claimed that they got no response via customer support and ultimately got ripped off and never got their money back.
You can print longer but you would need to run two image files that butt. Or three images like Text, logo, text as long as you keep the alignment. The motor rollers are used for cylinder printing
Most of the KS backers have received theirs now - mine showed up in Dec of 21, almost a year after the KS campaign. But, it did actually show up. Indiegogo backers are still getting theirs fulfilled. I was hoping to get it by October so I could make some items for Christmas, but I guess now I've got time to make stuff for Christmas in 22... I can't say much about their customer support as I haven't had to use it, but they do have a couple people on FB that seem reasonably responsive.
@@Formul8ed Do not buy this machine !!!! PLEASE go to their Instagram and Facebook page and read their reviews. MANY people including myself have not received their lasers !! Please ! This company do not respond to messages , packages are going to the wrong address, and laser app has issues .
hmmm, I dont see agate stone, such as carnelian being something that this machine can engrave. Can someone verify if this can engrave agate stones/crystals/gemstones, such as carnelian?
Wow expensive. Seems like this also cries out for a vacuum table to suck down the card stock. I take it the base can be removed and it screwed to your own base that might be a vacuum table.
Have you seen a Maslow CNC before? They have a work area of 4'x8' and can be wall mounted, and now sell with an optional laser engraver. Been super curious if the laser engraver is worthwhile
I haven't see the laser attachment specific to Maslow but with most CNC's they use something like Jtech as an add on. The higher wattage add ons get pretty pricey and a nearly the same price as a dedicated machine from Atomstack/xTool. They are great though at the lower wattages if you wanted to start playing around with laser engraving, especially if you are caring/cutting the piece as well on the CNC.
Nice device. How does the beam remain focused when scanned from the vertical? The focal distance will change from the center (vertical) to the outer limits of the scan, so is this corrected for inside the scan head?
It doesn't do any sort of correction. As you get further from the center and the focus changes, it does fade. Engraving wood, slate tiles, or plastic hasn't been a problem at all, but when I do a 100x100mm porcelain tile using the Norton White Tile method, when it hits about 80 mm it starts to fade. For most things, you can just run an extra pass or two, but with NWT, extra passes actually lighten the image.
Hmm, by now you will know I don't kill closed eco systems but this seems to work. However costing the sane as a k40? I dunno, temping for craft shows maybe
Hi, what laser engraver do you recommend for engraving coasters like wood, glass, slate and materials like that ? I will only be working with coasters. For home gifts. Thank you. Go Army.
