I have been using Sculpfun lasers for a few years now. I have the S9, S10 and their new S30 and I have nothing but good things to say about their products. I'm glad to see that you have discovered them and are sharing your positive experience with your viewers. Thanks for the video James!
Can you please speak more about the safety concerns on these products? Diode Lasers are Dangerous, and the supplied glasses are just colored plastic. Also engraving different material especially like leather wallets should come with a disclaimer, because many are made out of leatherette which can be extremely toxic when lasered.
@@JamesDeanDesigns A Hobby CNC can take your finger in the worst case, a Laser (especially one with fake safety glasses) can make you go blind in an instance or danger the life of your family with toxic fumes. This device is not targeted on full time makers, but for people that are new to this kind of hobby. People buy these over reviews like this one and are not confronted with the high dangers. Please add this critical information in every kind of video that advertises these open-frame diode machines.
I have the S9 from sculpfun and, by coupling a more powerful pump (70L ... noisy) to their nozzle for air assist, I have excellent performance, for a 5W. With this premise and having seen your review of their old 10W model, I would be really curious to see the performances of their latest 20W model.
Good review. Often thought about a small diode machine. I have a small 40w CO2 which manages most of my work. But as its a Leetro controller I cannot use lightburn. A conversion kit is available and Martin Raynsford does a good article on the conversion. But total cost would be more than this diode laser and one can use lightburn for it. Thinking mainly about photo engraving. Again my machine has low memory so bits are limited. Thanks again, see what the wallet feels like !!!
Hi, I see you explain here S10 Laser. I have a new S9 with 5.5 laser doing some tests and takes so many time to cut 6 mm and engrave wood, hours. Do you know some settings to improve that?
James, love your channel and have been following you since the 3018 days. Quick question on the supplier. it appears to be only half the price as the models on amazon, do you know if they are based in Europe or China (i assume), and can you remember how long the delivery time was.
I was intrigued to see the controller board. It is labelled "DLC32", which I'm guessing means it has a 32 bit microcontroller, which is often an ST32 these days. However I can't actually see a micro in the photo - unless the ESP32 is actually doing the work and not just being a WiFi point. Do you know what its brain is - is there an ST32 obscured by the wiring loom maybe ? It's also interesting that there is a hole to add another stepper driver. This is all particularly topical for me as I have just come into possession of a laser engraver that I just wanted for the mechanics to do some experiments. It came with an STM32 brain but I was shocked to discover it did not use GCode but some proprietary protocol (why would anyone do that ?) so it only works with their PC (windows only) software. It is apparently called a generic JL1 machine. Fortunately this didn't really impact on what I intend to do with it, but it was disappointing not to be able to see what its "normal" capabilities were - it also claims a 10W laser but I have some doubts. It's really hard to find any info on it at all, except I did discover instructions to re-flash it with GRBL, which I may try one day.
Hey James I been watching you Chanel for a while now and I was wondering if you could make a video about how to the online cnc program called kiri moto because I am trying to make some pcbs with my cnc machine but I need to use kiri moto first and I would like to see how you use the program to use it on your cnc machine.
@@JamesDeanDesigns that was what I had guessed. My 10 watt with 50 mm focal length didn't get very far through southern yellow pine. White pine, spruce, or basswood should do better.
So they built a laser module as part if the offering to try and bridge the gap but to be honest, even Carveco say its under developed so lightburn is by far the better option for laser
The power scale test? You can generate your own within lightburn or use the website in this video but again they also need lightburn ruclips.net/video/0T6BdIoynOE/видео.html
há aqui um pormenor que ninguém fala mas, deviam falar, a fonte de alimentação que vem a acompanhar esta máquina "sculpfun S10", não é em condições para esta maquina, e provavelmente para a s9, digo de fonte segura que quando está a cortar chega a gastar 8 Amp, como é que uma fonte como esta que acompanha a maquina que tem a potência de12V 3Amp chega para cortar MDF de 4m/m, a fonte aninha chega aos 11.55 volts, qualquer dia até queima a fonte, haviam de falar tudo que sabem para as pessoas não serem enganadas e prevenir-se antecipadamente com uma fonte. Por isso tenham atenção quando forem comprar uma máquina Laser, o que importa é a potência de saída do DIODO laser. A minha é uma S10 10W" e não faz o que você mostra, como é que consegue?, mas se eu meter uma fonte de alimentação com capacidade para alimentar a maquina ele até corta, sejam honestos e "não enganem as pessoas" a minha maquina chega a gastar 8 Amp.
Eu não engano as pessoas, tudo é este vídeo é genuíno. Eu até testei o laser no meu último vídeo e mostra a saída acima de 10 watts. Se você está tendo problemas, sugiro falar com seu fornecedor
@@JamesDeanDesigns a verdade é, com uma fonte de alimentação com a potêcia de 10 Amp eu corto MDF de 4m/m só de uma passagem, e com a fonte que vem acompanhar a máquina que é 12V 5 Amperes a fonte cai e vai para 11,5V não pode cortar com a potência. A minha maquina é uma s10, é mais forte que a s9 como é que vocês conseguem cortar madeira de 15 m/m, por amor de Deus, só se for madeira feita de manteiga, eu sou técnico em eletrónica por isso estou á vontade para falar da fonte, um abraço e muitas felicidades, ulguma coisa disponha, e já agora diga-me qual é o segredo, para cortar madeira de 20m/m

I have the S9 and just ordered the S10 module to replace the S9 and this is the first video I've viewed for a review, and so glad I did. Thank you
Hope you enjoy it 👍
@@JamesDeanDesigns Thank you.
These lasers are getting pretty good. Air assist seems to make a big difference, blowing the smoke and carbon out of the way of the laser.
Thanks for another well done video! Am watching the prices drop on these. Need to find the room in my shop for ventilation and enclosure first.

Any tool is dangerous to be honest. I talk about safely a lot in my tutorials but not so much in reviews

@@seha2306 ditto.
Another great video. Thank you
top quality as usual . 🍺

Just for transparency, did the vendor send this to you for reviewing?
and what hard wood? and have this laser modul 3 pin or 4 pin ?

Sorry I had another request I just wanted to know will this 10 watt laser cut pcb copper clad boards?
Hi can I have your power and speed settings for all the materials you work in this vid?

Great review! What kind of wood was used to test the thicker cuts?
That piece of 18mm, I dont actually know the species, just an offcut lying around. Was softwood so odds in a kind of spruce
@@JamesDeanDesigns that was what I had guessed. My 10 watt with 50 mm focal length didn't get very far through southern yellow pine. White pine, spruce, or basswood should do better.
In a different video, you mentioned you could use carve co for laser work. What would you consider pros and cons for using carve co vs light burn?
So they built a laser module as part if the offering to try and bridge the gap but to be honest, even Carveco say its under developed so lightburn is by far the better option for laser
@@JamesDeanDesigns Thanks!
Whre can i find the test file for the laser?5:45
This is called a powerscale test. You can create these from the Tools menu within Lightburn
@@JamesDeanDesigns thx man
Hello - can you give me the test project?
The power scale test? You can generate your own within lightburn or use the website in this video but again they also need lightburn

My machine is released so much smoke
👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👌🏼🍎 😎
They show it as $399...regularly $699.
