Laserpecker 4 initial thoughts 

I have had LP4 for a year and it’s been great I have a Knife Sharpening and laser engraving business I have done many knife engravings with it at 8K 100P it does a great job. Clack the trick to LP4 and dealing with the cone is this 1- focus your two dots in preview you will see lift height. Enter like 20 or 30mm into it. Then click up and it move what you put into it out of the way. To get it back into place just click down and it moves exactly the same amount back into place. Make dealing with the cone much easier you do have to enter it each time as it defaults back to 1mm a click when you go to do another engraving. The cone is good for taking the laser to things to engrave that you can’t fit under it. I did order Xtool F1 Ultra because I get a lot more work now but this was a fantastic starter machine for me. Also it doe work with Light Burn just fine. Many users use it we have a very good Facebook user group.

My laser is the LP4. Little hack for the cone... use the software and set it to 20 or so and hit the up arrow. It will lift it up 2cm which is enough to pull the cone off to set your items... Then you put the cone back on and hit the down arrow, which will take it back to the previous position to engrave. I have the enclosure too. My only complaint is it contains the smoke, which it then sucks through the laser cooling fan, which I'm afraid will eventually gum up the innards. Great video, as always, btw. Hope you're well. -Mike

I have this machine and I absolutely love it. I have burned everything with no problems. I appreciate your views on it. I was one of the few that was asked to test the faster speeds. That was a learning curve for sure. I love your videos. Keep them coming.

I have the original LaserPecker (small cylinder looking thing) and got the adjustable stand and enclosure. It was my first laser machine and was very surprised at what it could do. LaserPecker has come a long way (and astronomically more expensive) but they were always high quality laser engravers. I'd bet there is an auto focus on that machine. Mine has autofocus and with the adjustable motorized base it will automatically adjust the height to the correct focus. I have since moved onto bigger higher powered lasers but still pull out the LaserPecker every once in a while for the nostalgia it brings me. It's still a very nice laser even now (plus it will run off a portable battery bank). Great video.

LP, to me, seemed to be an innovator for home lasers when LP1 came out. I can see the "inspired" parts in other companies that followed, especially including multiple lasers in 1 unit. I think it still has a home, especially for niche work. I don't think I would use the extra attachments myself, but they do seem nice. And I agree about the cone. It seems a good idea if you need to use it for hand-held engraving, but on the desk, I would prefer the enclosure or shields like some other fibers.

I have one of these and it’s pretty slick. For some reason the anodized cards turn out better on the LP4 than on my F1. Both are great but the LP4 IR seems to turn out better for me for some reason. I got the enclosure with mine and it’s a good investment. Handy device and the software has gotten a lot better since I first got it.

I only run my LP4 on Lightburn. LPs software is buggy as hell

Sorry but I had to stop watching when you said it wasn't really Lightburn compatible.

Laserpecker's support is a disaster. They try at all costs to prevent the laser from being replaced. It is clear that the laser for metals has a massive loss of power. They ask stupid question after stupid question, which involves an enormous amount of effort and ultimately leads to nothing. Never again Laserpecker - never again. Worst support in the world. I wouldn't be surprised if this post disappears quickly.
