I own two Laserpecker 2 and a 1 pro variant, each have their abilities and definitely some limitations (software and 100mm workspace), but the key advantage they both share is portability. The LP1 can be powered by any 5v 2amp brick or power bank, however few reviews mention that the LP 2 operates on a 12v 5amp adapter with a barrel plug, or that the LP 2's expensive proprietary lithium bank, which ultimately means the LP2 doesn't need it, as the LP2 can be powered by any 12v 5amp source, like a car battery. My advice when engraving free-hand with the heavier LP2 is, don't over extend your arm, hold the engraver as close to the body as possible to reduce hand/arm fatigue. I also added thin rubber feet to the corners of the shroud to reduce accidental slips while free-hand engraving. In conclusion, the Laserpecker 1 and 2 are great entry-point enthusiasts wet dream, but for production runs and higher volumes, the LP 1 and 2 engravers lack the functionality limited by their proprietary software. Don't get me started on getting Laserpecker equipment serviced, you do not get a 12 month hardware warranty with them and to make matters worse, it's impossible to visually tell Laserpecker's apart, how can one be reassured they'll even get their device back from China?
This is my opinion, I could be wrong. 😉
The portability is nice. Sounds like it's a good thing I've not had to use tech support or service. :)
@@VoeltnerWoodworking Unfortunately it's the same story for a lot of Chinese manufactured products like laser engravers, the product support infrastructure just isn't there. Once they've sold you something they wash their hands of any/all responsibility to service under any kind of warranty. Startup companies like Laserpecker are inherently lazy in that regard, just wanting to bang out their gadgets as quickly as they can. Just pray nothing ever goes wrong with your Laserpecker. 👍
Thanks for sharing this, I enjoyed the Demo. I want to get one to take to craft shows. But would need to purchase the enclosure.
Thank you! It’s a fun machine.
IDK if it is possible with this machine, but a technique I used with other machines when I needed to engrave larger pieces was to embed fiducial markers on the drawing on the first pass, then cover then on the second pass.
Fiducial markers are used to tell if the new position is aligned when comparing to the old position. It is very common technique in PCB manufacturing, as the machine uses these markings to reference to the piece, instead of homing to absolute positions.
Two simple crosses that you align on the second pass should be enough to increase the size of the engraving sideways.
Yeah, you can definitely use this technique because of it's open nature (not limited by machine footprint). I didn't test it for this video because most people aren't going to have the knowledge of how to do that process, but using the preview mode and being able to set specific dimensions should make this process fairly easy compared to a gantry system. Thanks for the feedback. Perhaps the topic of a future video?
That's pretty slick! Bring it over and we'll brand some of the bee hives!
Now that sounds like fun!
Matt you hit it out of the park my friend, very informative and educational. Stay well to your family and you.
Much appreciated, Gregg. I hope you're well.
Very informative video. You brought up a few aspects of a handheld laser I haven’t thought of before.
Thanks dude! I appreciate the comment and for watching.
This thing is great! I might need to pick one up!
It’s a fun one!
My advice is buy pre-owned, new Laserpecker's are extremely overpriced by comparison. They are cool, can't deny that, I own three, but one can literally buy three high quality flat bed engravers (with accessories) like essential filtration for the same price as one new Laserpecker 2 engraver.
Wow! Great video and very informative review. This looks like an amazing laser!! The trolley is so cool and really adds a lot of flexibility to the size of your finished engraving
Thanks so much! It's a very handy laser, and I love how portable it is. It's going to get a lot of use in my shop. Thanks for the great images to work with.
Glad Maple got away without a brand. 😂
If they can brand cattle...just saying. LOL
Do you know where to find a program or website on how to create those foldable cardboard boxes?
If you have a Co2 laser this one works pretty well: www.templatemaker.nl/en/
@@VoeltnerWoodworking Thank you
Very welcome
It's great but not really an option for multiple production - very slow.
The set up is slow, yes. As far as engraving speed I found it to be fast, but I wouldn't use it for production stuff unless it was all I had.
You can make a picture logo ?
Yes
