Hi. Just out of interest, how is the power of the laser head controlled? The laser head is available as a separate part. Tempted to get one and fix it to one of my CNC machines or my 3D printer
lets hope they sell the laser head as a stand alone upgrade !!! i already have a 3d printer !!! so changing the hot end for a laser module makes more sense to me
Thanks for the video Any concerns with fire hazard? I feel like something like this you have to constantly watch, so I wonder how you would do longer cuts or batch.
I just assume this sort of thing will eventually catch something on fire. I put ceramic tiles or pieces of scrap dry wall on my work surface to act as a fire break. When something does catch on fire, it isn't a crisis.
Any kind of laser cutter uses fire/burning to cut things. So they all require supervision unless you can afford the machine and area around it to burn down once in a while.
Great video. I am looking for one 10W cuttr and this seems like a good option. I build model planes, and I like the 10mm cut power. I did not line the board foam result, the paper was cut but intermediate foam was meted and useless for use in a build for foam planes. Question: do you know any other option for 10W in the market? Thanks
What is the laser spot like? Round, square or rectangular? I heard/saw that many have a more rectangular spot causing size problems between X and Y cutting directions.
Is it easy to increase the volume in one direction to say 200x600? Would the firmware on the controller let that happen? Then get a longer extrusion? Or does the company that makes this offer a longer extrusion for the x axis?
I wonder if we will get diode lasers as powerful as CO2 lasers or at least the 40w ones this channel styropyro does amazing things with laser diodes and overdriving them and laser diodes have made lots of advancements in a short time , it would be nice to have the cutting power of a CO2 laser with the benefits of a diode laser although it would probably still not be able to cut clear plexiglass like CO2 if it were diode
You can have very powerful laser diode arrays. Focusing them onto a small spot is the problem. The optics end up costing more than the laser diodes itself. Even 40W blue laser will not come close to what a cheap K40 laser can do because of the wavelength. You want an IR beam so you can cut more materials.
@@zaprodk yeah that's what i though ,now I am looking into fiber lasers, but I really know nothing about them, like the fundemental difference between CO2, diode and fiber looks like fiber will come down a bit more in price eventually maybe better to wait for fiber to come down
I'm curious what your'e doing for filtration and ventilation of fumes? Honestly, I would never use a laser without some form of filtration and ventilation. The last thing you want to do is to be inhaling the particulates offgassing from the combustion of your projects.
Good evening Master I want to ask, how to upload an ESP32 sketch/program that has been made, how to do it "in Fritzing Software". Because I was looking for nothing, the choices were just that, there was no ESP32 module or the like. . Please help master 🙏🙏
I would like to know anyone who has knowledge in laser cutting. I saw a video of a Chilean cutting aluminum and iron metal with a 10w laser cutter, there were many passes, dozens of them it took a while but he cut metal with only 10w laser. Is this really possible?
It is extremely difficult to engrave a PCB because the laser beam reflects off the copper. It does not easily heat copper and there is a high risk that the reflected beam will damage the laser module. Lasers work best with dark non-reflecting materials.
Instead of using a metal plate as your work area, you should buy a 12 inch by 12 inch (Or LARGER) WHITE, Ceramic Floor Tile. The WHITE tile will never be harmed by your laser and it's heavy weight will alway lie flat and never get caught by your laser module moving above it. The WHITE Ceramic tile is also a great protection for your WOOD table or work area since it will never get burned nor will it allow your laser to penetrate thru it nor would it allow your laser to reach the wood table below it. You can buy a Ceramic tile very cheap if you go to the clearance area of any home store like Home Depot or Lowes, or whatever home improvement store you have in your area.
@@johnmood5653 the lack of ventilation and filtration for example, especially when cutting plastics. Also the wood gets pretty charred, clean cuts look as if they where cut by a sharp knife and then oiled
For everyone, please please please buy real goggles, even if they cost 100 USD it only takes 1 accident or odd reflection or the metal sheet warps from the heat and sends the beam off the table and your eyes take a hit....and believe me, your eyes are worth way more than 100 bucks
This. Although I'm grateful that the manufacturer has at least made a decent attempt at shielding the beam. Not good enough to use without goggles, but better than nothing.
The diagram on the Kickstarter page shows they are using a dual focus lens setup. Might be that it was translated badly, but I also see a paper where someone claims to have trademarked the term "dual focus" for use with lasers (though I can't find a US registration for that, perhaps it is registered somewhere).
Don't accept the Laser Power markings of Chinese Laser products as precise facts. The only way to know the real Laser Power is with a recently calibrated Laser Power Meter. An LPM will also allow you to see the Laser Power degradation over time. 6:22... Those cheap $2.00 plastic Goggles will not protect you from a direct 10W Laser Beam. I'd suggest getting a good pair for the Wavelength of your specific Laser.
An acurate laser meter is expensive for me right now. Also, those goggles are 60 dollars made exactly for this wavelength. Obviously, direct laser beam is dangerous
@@ELECTRONOOBS I know 60$ is kinda pricy but dude, how much as your eyes worth? That metal sheet bends from the heat and hit a reflection thru the 2$ goggles and you're blind. Please please please protect yourself
Man that's pretty nice! But I hope you weren't breathing near the machine and that area is vented. Those vapors are very very toxic, I mean extremely toxic!

I need an instant help from you!I followed your tutorial and facing an issue.Can you please reply?
Hi I have questions for you. How can I contact you?
Nice comeback, video description, and content. ;)
10:41 Man it was the piece for you leveling the laser's focus🤣
Hi. Just out of interest, how is the power of the laser head controlled? The laser head is available as a separate part. Tempted to get one and fix it to one of my CNC machines or my 3D printer
Hello, may you try it to make a PCB ?
Can it engrave on rubber for making rubber stamp?
Amigo esta maquina corta acrilico trasparente de 3mm ?
Great video my Friend !!!
lets hope they sell the laser head as a stand alone upgrade !!! i already have a 3d printer !!! so changing the hot end for a laser module makes more sense to me
Ca you use this to make PCB !? the same like metal engraving
what is the maximum thickness for foam we can can please ?
Have you tried other brand laser engraver? May I ask which one do you recommend?
Everything seems high quality except the label at 00:15 Maybe the manufacturer need some feedback on that...
Such a beautyfull toy
Thanks for the video

I had a teacher who use to say; " if you had brains you'd be dangerous." Well, you're dangerous all right. So, you must have brains.
Wait a second, why are you running Windows on a Mac? Is the LaserGRBL software windows only?
Smart channel name. Only 2 letters difference from the YT god of electronics
Where did you find the that contrast test? And what settings you used? Thanks in advance.
How much is just the laser? I already have a cnc.
Not sure if they sell the laser separately yet...

if i get 1, what are the recommended power lvls for each type of matirial?
Hi how are you can you make a video about avr (automatic voltage regulator) for alternators please
With my pleasure 😻
Watching your video, I could smell the burned wood 😆
Liked it nice ❤️🎈
pocket nc v2.
Can we replicate it?
Low budget for hobby.
Can you made voice recorder ic isd 1820 please

PCB engraving?
it cannot touch the copper. What do you want to engrave on a PCB?
Hello sir, can you make a 12-24v, 0-50amps smps with good efficiency at higher voltage.
please make the project read server power supply data using arduino
what is the banana for hahahah?
Make video on diy pcb engraver

you can easily make specific tattoos ;-}

many times we make projects using these nice looking materials, so it is not worth buying if plastic translucent material cutting failed
I'm sooo glad that I have access to a professional lasercutter, this still looks a bit sketchy, but thanks for showing!
Please expound on what is sketchy about this?
@@dtibor5903 it's sketchy as there is no airventilation. It's sketchy as it burns the wood - the good ones don't burn it away
@@dtibor5903 also that laser cutter in the hackspace is reliable enough to have last 4 years and fuck cars
@@johnmood5653 the lack of ventilation and filtration for example, especially when cutting plastics. Also the wood gets pretty charred, clean cuts look as if they where cut by a sharp knife and then oiled
So would this heat up a tin of jiffy pop popcorn. Lol. Question hinting at 80s movie starring val kilmer.

Add some music whe ure talking :)
I need an OSCILLOSCOPE!!!! 😭😭
There is no such thing as "Double compression spot" - It's lost in translation from chinese.
The diagram on the Kickstarter page shows they are using a dual focus lens setup. Might be that it was translated badly, but I also see a paper where someone claims to have trademarked the term "dual focus" for use with lasers (though I can't find a US registration for that, perhaps it is registered somewhere).
Man, I love your content and think you're a great engineer but your logo brother. It's not flattering at all.
And i well donate you after 16 days with 1000 dollars

didnt like the machine, too many manual configurztions
