What do you think of the different rotary modes, useful or gimmick? Here is a link to the Kickstarter: geni.us/laserpecker2
The rotary attachment is great for long pieces but you must first build a jig to stop it slipping on the rollers as it tips either end. I used mdf and 3dprinted rollers with bearings and it works great now.
Would like to see a demo of a hi res photo bordered with a highly detailed filigree. I think you will find that the filigree is not as sharp as the middle portion of the workspace.
seems very overengineered
You forget that the rotating piece can make you engrave onto cylinders objects like pens or bottle it’s also very unique
Personally I could use a mobile engraver like that, but it would be more interesting to see tank wheels on a gantry machine.
Just got mine. Thanks for the information! Even more excited to try it out!
I would love to see some more practical engraving examples ... YETI mug, glass, black granite tiles
Great Test. But the dot size can be affected by the direction of the wood structure (because if hard and soft area) you could rotate the test piece by a quarter turn and laser and measure again or just use other material then wood which is more even
I have been waiting for this to unlock the potential I needed an engraver for
Loved the detail in this video, thank you
Thank you for all the information. I learned the most from watching you. Now I can play around with the LaserPecker Pro that Ive had for more than a year. Lol
Question! Could you use the large rollers to engrave a cylinder shape? 'Torches' etc??
thank you for this amazing and specifically video!
Appreciated a lot! 🙏
I am just getting into Pneumatic gun engraving but my by-hand drawing skills aren't very good. I am thinking one could paint the gun surface and use this laser engraver to put your art work on the painted surface so you can trace with pneumatic engraver tool. And if you don't like the way your artwork looks you can just remove the paint and start over without scaring the metal surface. What are your thoughts on this??
Great review. I've been waiting for galvos to become affordable. Great trend right now.
At 13:17 you started saying the width was 1,000 mm. Is it really 100mm?
I finished the video and you did say 100mm. Nicely done. I'm hoping we see a lot more galvo laser offerings and reviews from you. thanks!
Yeh it's 100 mm, my bad!
I like the build quality and amazing attention to detail on the whole LP product range, except the L2 rollers, because gnarling is traditionally used to improving finger grip on rotary knobs, it doesn't really grip things only resting on it. It also tends to lose grip easily unlike rubberised or silicon rollers. They may look aesthetically pleasing, but in my book functionality and practicality ranks much higher.
I can easily see this being useful for quick turnover/ on the spot/on demand personalization in a retail setting.
Yep!
Oh hell no.
This is way too dangerous of a gimmick. This has no place in a retail operation.
@@luke_fabis ,,, agree, very limited fail safe options possible, comparably.
@@luke_fabis OK, just thought of one solution,,, pressure sensors on 4 corner points. Pressure comes off using freehand style, the laser shuts off.
@@TheeRocker The solution is a sturdy light-sealed enclosure with safety interlocks and an e-stop in accordance with ANSI or ISO standards, along with proper operator training and an EH&S officer that gives a shit about workplace safety.
Nice video on a cool little laser! Looks like it’s performing well for you, too!
Thanks guys!
So does it have a F-Theta lens to be able to focus flat over the whole work area??
This is rough - can’t figure out how “sponsored” this video is. So many bad reviews on this unit and the company but I’m in love with the compact design and portability of this unit.
Is there a way to import your own files to the app or on the computer? It seems pretty pointless if the only customization you can do is text or drawing.
Nice video I wonder if it can be use to engraved guns
Will this work on PLA 3D filament?
Could you do small texture rollers for clay or dough?
A bunch of reviews said the software updates change the lasers parameters and skews the designs and script. Was that corrected?
what is the ocular hazard distance for this?
What would you recommend for embossing or foil on to cards?
Good info, Thank you.
How does your camera pan and move while you're doing your videos when you're not holding it?
Great video thank you!
HOW CAN I CHANGE THE DIMENSIONS OF THE OBJECT WITHOUT ALTERING THE OTHER. WHENEVER I DETERMINE ONE OF THEM, IT AUTOMATICALLY CHANGES THE OTHER TO MAINTAIN THE RATIO. CAN YOU HELP ME PLEASE? THANK YOU
Thx for your preview appreciate it. What about engraving realistic picture in nearly photo quality?
I might not have had the settings dialed in but this probably wouldn't be the best bet, especially due to the size of the machine. I would go with Ortur or Atomstack for that.
I can't wait to use mine...if I ever get it....
So if you slide something through that slot, it won't be in focus. Because the focus point is below the cover.
Dose this kind of machine would be the substitute against the lathe machine ?
I Just Bought a Laser Pecker 3, I am New to Lasers and this has no Manual! How do I get Black Markings on Various Metal Types Including Zinc Alloy with Electroplated Coating? Do I need a product like "Brilliance"? Thanks!
I would like to order this from India may i know where can I find the link for ordering...?!
i have a problem with this laser pecker 2.1.i can't find the laserpecker 2 app in the google play store. and 2 i download the windows program and then i got a message popping up that i need a openGL program.want to download this and I can't came up.So how do i connect now the laser with any device?
can a QR code be engraved on anodized alum with this?
Very well said, Brandon!!!😊
... can you Engrave Polymer ? And Colors on Polymer..? Thanks
Have you seen a Maslow CNC before? They have a work area of 4'x8' and can be wall mounted, and now sell with an optional laser engraver. Been super curious if the laser engraver is worthwhile
I haven't see the laser attachment specific to Maslow but with most CNC's they use something like Jtech as an add on. The higher wattage add ons get pretty pricey and a nearly the same price as a dedicated machine from Atomstack/xTool. They are great though at the lower wattages if you wanted to start playing around with laser engraving, especially if you are caring/cutting the piece as well on the CNC.
thanks, I wonder if there's adult education classes for using machines like these. I'm going to check in my area
Does this work on Aluminum and or polymer plastic?
Their webpage doesn't open. Was planning to purchase one, but not sure now. Anybody has any info if they still in business? Will appreciate help
hi there, ,nice video, but where can i get one?
how do i up load grapics or fonts to the app
I like the machine, hate using phone apps for creative work. Can you use it with Lightburn or other desktop software?
It has it's own desktop software but you won't be able to use Lightburn with it.
Will this engrave raw aluminum or clear chemed aluminum?
Is it good for eBay amazon engrave business?
Can you do a demo of doing this a bottle?
How is it with picture/portrait stainless steel
if you change the way the unit engraves you could use just the small size
Thank You! Way cool informative video' and your really cool also!🖖😶👍
Perfect !!!
Most of my projects are of wood. How would I engrave the center of a 12" or 16" wood bowl with my logo and signature. Doesn't look like it would work for my wood bowl needs. Good review BTW :)
Will this machine print on the arms & lenses of sunglasses.
If it can move on both x and y axis...im sold
I just got a Autero Laser2 a day wou.d li,like, to do the tests you did in your video but I can't find it. Canyon send me the link. I enjoyedyourvideo and Plano watching more of them. Thanks😊
Hello, Where can I buy this machine?
Nice device. How does the beam remain focused when scanned from the vertical? The focal distance will change from the center (vertical) to the outer limits of the scan, so is this corrected for inside the scan head?
It doesn't do any sort of correction. As you get further from the center and the focus changes, it does fade. Engraving wood, slate tiles, or plastic hasn't been a problem at all, but when I do a 100x100mm porcelain tile using the Norton White Tile method, when it hits about 80 mm it starts to fade. For most things, you can just run an extra pass or two, but with NWT, extra passes actually lighten the image.
Will a model be available in the near future capable of engraving bare metal surfaces? The cost would increase considerably for such a device, but would be worth it.
There has been an announcement of a Laserpecker 3, which they're saying will be designed to work with metal, which *sounds* like perhaps a fiber laser, but if it is, its likely to be a lot more expensive than the LP1 or 2.
Regarding resolution, it offers 1k, 1.3k and 2k pixels per 100mm. So it's 10px/mm, 13px/mm and 20px/mm. Or 254dpi, 330dpi and 508dpi.
The laser spot size is 0.05mm, compared to the L1's (0.3mm) and L1 Pro's (0.15mm).
Can you do a video on how this laser does when engraving metals? Please!!!...thanks!!!
It will only work with coated metal like stainless steel or powder coated. For real metal engraving you'll need to step up to a true fiber laser.
How I can order it and receive it
How did you get your machine? Was it from China? I have ordered one 4 months ago, and have many conversations with them and still no answers as to where my order is.
How I can order it
could it be used to clear graffiti from a surface say like brick?
do the lasers ever run out like buying a machine like this or any other ones how long does machines likes these last
Very cool!
Thanks!
For how long can it work continues
Does it work on metal?
Can you please review and compare this to the Mr Carve.
But will it cut 1mm Ti sheet? Asking for a friend...
How much price
How does it perform on hardwood materials just purchased one and the end result is very patchy on some reclaimed oak flooring
Oak is pretty porous so the issue might be more with the wood vs the machine. You'll need something that is tight grain to get a good consistent result. With testing I usually wind up using MDF or cardboard to get the best image results.
You will want to use a basswood. Or closed grain. Oak and mahogany are not laser friendly.
Hi, what laser engraver do you recommend for engraving coasters like wood, glass, slate and materials like that ?
I will only be working with coasters. For home gifts. Thank you. Go Army.
PS: I want to start on the low end until I learn the process to get a nice laser engraver.
Start with a cheap chinese unit like arturo...
Do you live here in atlanta?
wow - i wish i could afford it. i'm sure atomstack and ortur will no doubt release something similar in the future.
Welcome 🙏
What’s the name of the app?
Did you say that the max width is 1000mm?
Wow, that's really cool. It would be great for engraving a maker's mark on completed projects.
Yep, I think that’s a perfect use case for it. Especially for how fast it can do it and how portable it is
Nice sir 👍
Thanks!
Bro you look like the guy in the "like a Bosch" commercials !
...Shawn is his name...
You have to try the mustache 🤣🤣🤣
That's cool
Looks really unsafe and really toxic. I like! ❤️
Can this engraver work on keys as well? 🔑
Heya. Do you know if these can engrave PS5 controllers?
If there's a flat or nearly flat area on the controller, maybe? Curves, or compound curves are going to be an issue, but that's going to the the case with any laser engraver really.
how about engraving on the glass and ceramic - wine bottle , glass mug or perfume bottle ?
No. Google will help. Very expensive laser required.
If it worked on aluminium itself instead of just the anodised layer I'd grab it in a heart beat
Is this considered a UV laser? Would it mark on object the same way a UV laser would?
No.
Hmm, by now you will know I don't kill closed eco systems but this seems to work. However costing the sane as a k40? I dunno, temping for craft shows maybe
I giggle every time I hear the name. lmao. It's pretty neat though!
hmmm, I dont see agate stone, such as carnelian being something that this machine can engrave. Can someone verify if this can engrave agate stones/crystals/gemstones, such as carnelian?
That laser looks really cool, however, would you recommend it to someone who has never used a laser and is looking for a small one to learn with? Thank you for your time, Gentle Hugs
I'd rather suggest the orthur gantry style as it has a larger work area, uses wayyy better software, and anything you learn translates 1:1 to a bigger machine.
The pecker is nifty, but it's really more of a gimmick :/
@@jordymoors Very true.. i started from my ortur laser master 2. After a year of using and made some profits. I changed to an industry grade co2 laser machine. Its an easy transition
Laser pecker first gen isn't bad I love it I'm actually interested in getting this just because the first one was such a good starter's guide to it. that's what I would recommend.
How much does the app to run it cost?
The app is free. I'd still rather be able to use it with Lightburn, but, at least the app is free.
Man when will this finally be in retail 😕
On the website, the 2nd version is able to cut, and I watched another RUclips video demonsrating cutting wood. This is the statement from the website:
"Thanks to the 5W semiconductor laser with the upgraded version of compressed spot technology
You can have a higher standard and more powerful laser cutting with LaserPecker 2. Wood, paper, acrylic, leather goods with a thickness under 5mm."
The website also provided images as well,
and the gewike cloud runs with lightburn
Use this to rapidly make permanent business cards on or next to the cork boards that let people hang up their business cards.
Where I can buy it, send me a link,
Link to the Kickstarter is in the description.
Do not buy this machine !!!! PLEASE go to their Instagram and Facebook page and read their reviews. MANY people including myself have not received their lasers !! Please ! This company do not respond to messages , packages are going to the wrong address, and laser app has issues .
Laserpecker. That was my highschool nickname.
@13.19 "...still limited to 1000mm width"
Is that for the speed or something? 1000mm is one meter.
100mm
100mm, sorry about that!
