Thanks for the hint of not cutting PVC. I did a quick research and found a really useful page of a well-known laser company that explains the problem in detail. This is indeed super important for every user of a laser machine, so they should have provided this information! Great video though, very nice to watch and pretty informative 🙏
The engravings, when you show them up close, look very pixelated. Is this the laser engraver itself, or did you feed it low resolution raster images? Is it capable of producing a smooth, fine line that doesn't look pixelated, either from a vector file or a high resolution bitmap?
Hi ! just wondering, can you cut through aluminuium or stainless steel ? Here you engrave it, but I guess cutting a for example 1,5mm aluminium would be possible ?
No, diode lasers are not able to cut metal. You can make dark marks on the surface of stainless steel, but it's not actually removing able metal. You would need a different type of laser, like a fiber laser, to work with metals.
Can you share the settings or do a video on light burn with this laser? I tried to cut the supplied wood using the test guide and it barely made a mark. Not sure what I am doing wrong.
Can you share your settings regarding the engraving of the stainless steel pendant? I tried the parameters as indicated by Creality (100%, 500 mm/min, height (?)) but no cut was visible. Might be that I need to try some more with the lightburn software, but I just want to make sure that it's not e.g. a focal length issue.
Please, i want to engrave into BRASS. Small logo 5x5mm. Example Smiling FACE. Do you think, it would be possible also with 5W laser, and would it be readable? thanks
Great review young man! I received mine last month. I was able to do 1 project with mine, now every time I send the Gcode the Laser powers off several times and won't do anything. Anyone have any ideas on this issue?
Thanks for the comment! Unfortunately, I haven't experienced any issues like that, so I can't be of much help there. Have you reached out to creality's support about that issue?
Thanks for the video. I thought I was going crazy on mine also but realized it is likely firmware for the drift, since if I home the laser and cut again, it aligns almost perfectly multiple times over the same engrave. Have you been able to update to the sept 7th version they have up on their site? My cutter doesn't seem to do anything when I put that file on the micro sd card, and try to update it.
I was able to get it to update. Apparently, I was just not patient enough when waiting for it to start the update. And This solved my alignment issues perfectly also.
