ATOMSTACK A5 PRO vs. SCULPFUN S6 PRO: All You Need To Know (Laser Engravers)
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 28 июн 2024
- The Atomstack A5 Pro vs. Sculpfun S6 Pro is a heated debate among laser engravers. Which one should you buy?
We're going to break down the pros and cons of both laser engraving machines, so that you can make an informed decision about which machine will work best for your needs without wasting time or money!
Official store: shrsl.com/40y0f
I will test performance of these laser engravers by engraving wood, laser cutting plywood, cutting acrylic (plexi glass), hardwood, engraving anodized aluminium and cutting cardboard. I will also evaluate the results and measure the laser focus beam size to check if the machines have rectangular or square focus spot.

This was the review I was looking for. All questions answered, very good job 👍
Thanks!
So clear and so thorough, love it!
Brilliant review JT.. Thanks for this my bro bcos it's very hard to get this kind of content on here.. Salute to u Sir..
Really nice comparison with good tests, thanks!
Keep it up! I appreciate your help! You will be my go to source for all my questions!
Thanks! You are awesome!
Excellent comparison, great info. Subscribed to your channel!
Thanks!
Just ordered an S9 - pity I already paid for it before seeing the discount coupon lol! I'm not expecting it to be delivered any time soon though because the last of the current batch is sold out. I would like to ask what is the size of the footprint of this machine? Yes I know the engraving capacity but I would like to know how much clear space I need on custom made shelf to hold it (so that would include any bits that stick out like the stepper motor..). Thanks for the review - subscribed!
Another excellent video. I'd like to see a similar comparison but with the Ortur laser master 2 pro thrown in. Maybe a shootout between the "winner" from a previous comparison vs. a new challenger.
Also I appreciate the website.
Thanks! I plan to test Ortur one day, but it is a bit more expensive
great work !
You deserve million subs. Great review. After checking ortur, atomstack, zbaitu and sculpfun, I'll choose sculpfun. thank you mate!
Thanks! I hope your wishes come true :)
Nice information
Just bought the Atomstack A5 pro, but it didn't came with a switch. Maybe because some RUclipsrs criticized it before, for not having a switch. But interesting findings and a it helped me to get some better settings for my laser. Thx 😉 and yes it didn't cut the blue acrylic glass because if something looks blue to your eyes, it is because it mostly reflects the blue wavelengths of the light and absorbs more of the other colors. So if you would have used red or green acrylic it should have worked... This is why they use red or green acrylic covers too. Cause they absorb most of the blue light and let only the red and green parts through.
Cool! Glad to help and thanks for your input :) I need to try some other acrylic colors as well. Indeed, the switch comes in very handy on the Sculpfun
Great video; but I don't speak English. The traduction is good, I like it. Wonderful products, wonderful test and I also like the sculpfun. I really need that machine !!! . Thank you for the video.
Hi, Great videos and suggestions, have there a question... On your Hompage they have a Lasercutfile used for Power Scale, Interval Scale, Photo Engraving, Vector Image Engraving andAnodized Aluminum Engraving?! where can I acquire these files, I find them Absolutely class, because you have everything in one.Thanks and keep it up.... Thanks
Send me an email to jtmakesit.contact @gmail .com (remove spaces) and I will send you the files
Alguém consegue me ajudar, preciso dos parametros para gravação de copo stanley na A5 40w ?
Do you have your test file available for purchase? I just used your link to purchase the S6 Pro and I'm so excited. Thank you for your comprehensive reviews, they really made my decisions so much easier and explained so much that I would have never thought of. Please don't stop :)
Hi, you are welcome :) send me an email to jtmakesit.contact@gmail .com and I will send you the test file for free
@@JTMakesIt Thank you so much! Sending now :)
@@sarahammond7895 You have the file on your email :)
Can i get it too sir?
I need that file you test it plss tq
Can you add a rotary tool to the s6 pro? I have not see any videos showing the s6 pro with a rotary
Rotary video coming soon! This month, Sculpfun starts selling their rotary attachment.
You got me - I’m a new subscriber! Great video and very clear. I’m trying to decide on the Sculpfun S6 Pro and S9. For about a $20 difference. For my wife to do small crafts. Any suggestions would be great!
He has a S9 vs s6 video. I'm about to buy the S9 later tonight lol. We're in the same boat
@@weilam03 I used his coupon and have it shipped for $358. Have you found a better deal?
Thanks for subscribing!
If you check the S9 video:
ruclips.net/video/ntNtiiy6L3I/видео.html
You will find coupons in the video description of that video which will reduce the price of the S9 to 299$.
I think that the S9 is much more capable machine for practically the same price.
You can check out the performance differences through my reviews on my website:

Does the Sculpfun laser engravers have accessories like Atomstack laser engravers do? I really like the R3 Rotary Roller and the Extension Towers from Atomstack and would Love it if Sculpfun had those options.
They will soon have. I was told that they are developing the roller and will soon be available for sale. They also have a honeycomb plate available which I will test soon.
Per Sculpfun 6/6 pro e 9s È appena uscita "engraving extension area" che porta l area di stampa a 410x950mm
Buena comparación, me suscribo y dejo like, saludos desde México 🇲🇽👍
Thank you for the review.
I've bought the Atomstack, because its price was reduced and I got 40€ off.
Can you tell me, what material i can put under the laser to protect my table (and wooden floor) to cut through?
Steel sheet is the best cheap solution.
How about cutting clear acrylic? would both machine able to cut through?
No. None of the diode lasers on the market can cut clear acrylic because of physics. Diode lasers emit blue light-visible spectrum. And you can't cut whatherever it is white or transparent because the light goes through. Co2 lasers on the other hand emit infrared light which is basically heat and they can also cut transparent and white materials because infrared is also absorbed by transparent materials.
What software did you use for the test file? Is lightburn software compatible to atomstack ?
I use lightburn. It is the best
@@JTMakesIt Thanks! One last thing, can A5 Pro cut acrylic?
@@charlesdunecaliboso143 It can cut black acrylic
Hope to notice my comment, i want to buy laser engraver for my small business but it's hard to choose which one. Does atomstack a5pro/sculpfun s6pro engrave/cut clear acrylic? Thankyou :))
You can engrave transparent acrylic only if you paint the surface black with easy to remove paint. None of the diode based lasers can cut transparent acrylic. Look at hobbylasercutters.com for more info about more capable machines and stuff you can do with these machines
Just want to know how much time it took to cut the boards
Depends on the size and thickness
🎉🎉perfect🎉🎉
My latest Atomstack A5 M50 (5watt optical power), has a beam dimension of 0.06 mm x 0.06mm
@@brucewoods9377 measured or on paper?
@@JTMakesIt claimed spec.
@@brucewoods9377 claimed spec is never correct, this is why I always measure it. Usually its up to 2-3 times the claimed size
For some reason website link is not working
It should work now. I am updating some stuff on the website and it crashed on me.
I cant find in RUclips atomstack x7 pro vs sculpfun s10
Check my other videos. I have tested the Sculpfun S10 and the Atomstack A10 (x7 is the same machine) in the separate videos.
Plss sirrr,do 1 video cutting arcylic using sculpfun s6 pro,cause i cant event cut 2mm arcylic.plss sir
In this very video I was cutting black acrylic.
@@JTMakesIt yeah i know,but the setting,are u using lightburn?i need the setting in software
@@diykreatif4408 600mm/min, 100%power and multiple passes
@@JTMakesIt thnks so much..but if i use transparent arcylic,how?help me plsss🥹
@@diykreatif4408 Cutting transparent is not possible with any diode laser. Only engrave it if you paint the surface black temporarily
Is the S9 Better than S6 pro ?
S9 is much better
@@JTMakesIt thank you for your reaction .
Which air assistent do you prefer for the s9
@@whitneydebock3397 I currently use no air assist. I plan to build my own to see if it helps.
@@JTMakesIt are you building your own air assistent? How do you do that 😊 I'm just a beginner
@@whitneydebock3397 I will use a cheap fish tank air pump and some 3D printer nozzles and some tubing. But I will see if it will even work. I ill post a video I I do it successfully.
Can they cut 10mm thickness acrylic?
No, it is just too thick. Maximum I would say is 5mm for these two machines. And for Sculpfun S9(check my review) the max should be 7 to 8mm. This is for black acrylic. You can cut thicker, but it would be too slow to be practical. I think the S9 could cut 10mm arcylic but at a very slow speed and many passes.
@@JTMakesIt how much time it will take to cut through 5 mm plywood of 10×10 cm approx
@@pawannath1482 Under 4 minutes
Your website "Error establishing a database connection"
Can you try again? What link are you clicking?
Here's all you need to know:
This Atomstack does NOT have a replaceable lens. WHEN the lens cracks (and it WILL), you will have to buy a whole new module ( $156!) not a lens ($25).
This is why newer modules from Sculpfun and xTool have this feature. Check my newer reviews. The lens can crack if you don't clean it too often.
Jesus, all I wanted to know was if this thing could engrave tin! I can’t find a single video on here about that or from the atom stack website which is useless to begin with.
How many free laser machines do yoy have now 50 100 200?
A few :) they are not free. They take around 50 hours of video work to make these videos.
Ok let me rephrase it to be non political...how many machines have you received from manufacturers at no charge?..i may start doing reviews..so many people getting thousands of $$$ worth of products by simply creating a 5min video...slthough urs was much more involved.
@@shelby50411 I have received around 8-10 machines. A few I have bought myself and I have received others for free to test. First you need to spend years to make a well established channel with a significant number of subscribers in order to get noticed by manufacturers. No one is going to send a machine to a channel with less than a few thousand subs.
Atomstack has the worst possible focusing system (you have to be very careful not to tilt it when tightening the screws); pity that Sculpfun has only a slightly better system; I have an a5 pro and objectively it is not a great machine because of the poor precision focusing, so I'm looking at the various reviews just to look for some better engraver
I agree, Atomstack focusing system is not as good. The Sculpfun system is better, because you can also remove the acrylic guard and then you have 2cm of clearance between head and material. It comes in very handy when engraving weird objects like an axe or spoons where you can easily focus the laser at some lower point and not worrying about the head hitting something higher on the object.
I am testing a new laser machine from Sculpfun right now (not for sale yet), I will release the video this week probably. And I will also post the standard test pattern results on my website hobbylasercutters.com so it will be easy to compare to other machines I tested. The new machine is quite good I must say :)
excellent, as written I am looking at all the reviews of new engravers to understand which one I have to replace the (FOR ME) disappointing Atomstack with and if Sculpfun continues to have the right value for money, maybe I will choose one of their machines. See you next review.
My conclusion: automstack has a slightly larger layer dot but a more powerful laser
Sculpfun has a smaller laser dot but is less powerful
I’m buying Sculpfun
Do NOT get the Atomstack ANYTHING! It doesn’t work as they claim it does. It may have the settings, but I’ve yet to see any engraving on metals or cut off ability. WEAK AS HELL! Don’t waste your time folks! It’s not a plug and play, it’s a “hope you got your degree in this crap!”
What's up with the robot voice over?
Someone went to allot is work to gather all the video and do the tests. Why not finish the job and tell me about it themselves rather than a soulless computer voice?
I'm probably going to unsubscribe if I don't get a reply that makes sense.
I am not a native english speaker, my pronunciation is not clear and well understandable to every viewer. Also I don't have a good speaking ability. Nobody is good at everything. I am good at making things. This is why I use this software in the videos that have a lot to be told.
@@JTMakesIt Thank you for the reply. Hadn't thought about it from this angle and now better appreciate the situation. Since I do enjoy the depth of testing and projects, I'll totally keep my subscription to your channel. Thanks for your good work.
@@ScottFoust Thanks for understanding and staying subscribed :)
