I’ve looked into it and honestly, with having the xtool, the hassle doesn’t seem worth it for me personally. If I had enough interest on the channel, or if I got a second CO2 laser to use for clear acrylic still, I might consider doing it. Thanks for the awesome comment!
Nice video! I am looking at getting a K40, probably Omtech.. They seem to have better support. Both Monport and Omtech sell a K40+ now.. Several upgrades including an adjustable laser head for different z heights and built in air assist. I intend to upgrade it very soon after I get it. Larger work area, rotary, ect.. Maybe even upgrading it to a 60w tube.. But that is further down the road.. You earned a new subscriber when you said church/youth pastor.. 😊
While that’s true, the K40 has a ton more maintenance required and is also a much smaller machine that needs tweaking to achieve what the xTool 40W does. For people who want to do that tweaking, it works. For people who don’t, the K40 is a hobby machine that requires too much upkeep
@@CreatedWorkshop dont know man. you can replace hobby grade tubes and mirrors for cheap these days. a 40w diode costs still a fortune. i started a diy machine and i went the co2 way cause if i mess things up i can always replace a tube or a lens
A lot of people don’t mind tinkering, but a lot of people don’t want to have to worry about that. In the end though, someone spending $2,000+ should get a 60W CO2, not a K40. Now, the new K40 Pro is a totally different machine than what I have in this video. Better mirrors, Z table, air assist, etc.
