- This week I built the Ortur Laser Pro 2 S2 Laser. Along with the laser I also built the Ortur Rotary attachment. In the video I will run you through the set up of the Ortur Roller attachment in detail. The setup includes running through the steps in Lightburn. Connecting the laser, Connecting the Rotary attachment and completing a test print.

Your excitement made this video fun to watch as well as informative. Thanks
Thats awesome. Glad I could help and you enjoyed the video
Thank you for the concise video. No silly comments, no crazy music, just enthusiastic and to the point! Awesome! I've had my LM2 Pro LU2-4 LF for about 3 weeks with Z-axis lifter and rotary. Your video will definitely help me avoid some problems!
Thank you. Hope it was helpful. They are lots of fun and I’m constantly amazed at what it can do
Wow!!! What wonderful energy combined with detailed accurate information. You are amazing. I am a fan and I will be spreading the word. Thank you for sharing your experience and knowledge with us. A true inspiration you are. I am sending my gratitude and deepest thanks your way. Wishing you peace, health and happiness!!👍👍👍🙏
Thank you. Your to lovely. Glad you found the video helpful and enjoyed the content :)
@@SmallFryCreations It is just the truth! I really appreciate you and the wonderful job you do. It is tough enough working with all the tools that you do and then having to record it and edit the video. Excellent job!! You have amazing energy and you are a joy to watch. Thank you again, I appreciate your kind reply.😀
I stumbled onto your channel after buying the Sculpfun S9- I’m waiting for the rotary tool to arrive, but then I saw this video on engraving a bottle, which I’m waiting to do, and thought I’d watch. I just wanted to say thank you for your super down to earth and thoughtful explanations! No BS, a heck of a lot of candidness, and pearls of wisdom from one maker to another. I really appreciated how you shared about pitfalls and didn’t edit out the part where you lasered the logo on backwards - something I’m sure many of us will do as well! All of that was more than enough to convince me to hit like and subscribe. Cheers!
Thank you. The rotary is lots of fun. Glad I could help. Mistake are just part of it and I have learnt they should be expected. Its where the most learning is done. Thanks for stopping by
ohhh another laser to review and testout, how cool! I LOVE your reaction to the first water bottle print!!!
Just can't get enough of them :) Just to much fun!!
I just got this rotary attachment and appreciate the video and your enthusiasm!!!
Your welcome. Glad it was helpful. The rotary is such a fun attachment 😀
great job! Gotta love that feeling. I've been trying to decide on a rotary, I think I'll pull the trigger now. thanks!
Thank you. They are lots of fun :)
Thanks for the video. I've had my YRR 2.0 for a while now but never set it up. I'm ready to try this out.
Thats awesome. They are lots of fun :)
Thanks so much for this video! I was wondering why my laser was going round and round when I was trying to do the sample rectangle! I can now fix that. 🤗
Awesome. Glad I could help
Informative!
Thank you
Thank you -----well done
Thank you
Just found this, thank you.
You're welcome
Lucky you like lego with all that assembly :) The Small Fry Happy Dance is reason enough to watch this channel ;)
😂😂 do love me a happy dance!! Gotta celebrate the wins 😀
Thank you for your informative videos on laser cutter. Would be helpful to get an idea of how much noise they make.
Thank you. They make very little noise. If you were in another room you would hear it. Very quiet
That's awesome! I'd like to get one but I have too much stuff already, I have a full wood shop, metal shop and welding in my 1 1/2 car garage. Have fun with your new toy 😁🧡
I'm sure there is room 😋 you can hang it on the wall :)
Very sympatic :-))
Nice freebie I’m so keen to get a laser and a cnc but I’m not to good with programming
There is a learning curve for sure but there is some great information out there and great community to always asks questions to. If I can do it anyone can :)
How would you do a mug with a handle? Such a great explanation thank you.
Generally speaking you would need a different type of Rotary where the mug attached from inside the mug. This type of rotary is not really built for it. You could laser on the opposite side of the handle and as long as you didn’t need to rotate to much the handle would stay between the rollers.
I have the aufero 2. In have the latest firmware, 1.90. When I test the rotary, , the stepper motor still engages even thought it is detached and the rotary is attached. I have no idea what to do.
Thank you so much for this video! Do you have a tip on what to do if the test line is not straight and is squiggly but the mm per rotation is good? it completes a full rectangle but the lines are a bit squiggly
Thank you. My only suggestion would be to see if the piece is hard up againist the support piece that when it rotates does it move away from the back plate. It may be "walking" along the rollers. If so then it comes down to balancing the work piece the best you can. I find taking any lids off the bottles helps. My only other thought is the speed. I have used up to 1000mm/min as the speed and haven't had any issues. Hope this helps.
Great video. I have been looking and cannot seem to find, but do you have a video that explains how to/where to place the rotary and what not? Everything I have seen just shows it placed in the lasers work area but not explaining the where and how to properly ensure it will engrave in that area.
Thank you. You can put the roatry in the workarea. As long as the thing your lasering is in the workarea your good to go
Lovely Vid. I notice you didn't go into lightburn and change your settings to rotary settings. Does it really work that way or did you change the machine settings off camera?
Thanks for the info. How did you calculate your mm per rotation input for lightburn?
I started at 60mm ran a test and then adjusted from there. In the video description there is link to a video I followed. I use blue painters tape and wrap the bottle. Turn the power down to 20% and draw a thin rectangle. If the rectangle meets your good to go. If there is a gap up the number and if they cross over lower the number and ran again until you get it close. Then your good to go. Hope this helps 😀 I ran this test each different type of bottle to dial in the settings.
Hello, great video! I just set mine up and I’m curious how you handled the laser cable not being in the work area. My cable just seems to want to be apart of my projects haha.
hahahahah it is annoying I hear you. depening on what is happening at times I will tap the cable up out of the way. Just need to make sure the laser can still freely move. It can be annoying at times for sure
Help my letters are over lapping when I laser I just can’t seem to get my settings right unless I’m doing something else wrong. I’m on. A 10w laser with rotary roller 20mm roller and my flask is 205mm
The E-Steps are off, that's why you had to change to 61.
Just like in 3D printing you need to see if the printer will allow you dial in the E-Steps and be able to save them.
Great video! I just received my new OLM3, is the set up the same? I hate that there are no instructions for internal settings. Any help would be awesome, can't find anything online.
Thanks Brad. I haven't used the OLM3 but I would say it would be the same. I have used a couple of different lasers and rotary set ups and they have all been the same. I hope this helps.
Are you going to add limit switches to your Sculpfun?
Hey Yes I will. I have some on order as we speak so will add the upgrade very soon
What laser settings did you use? power speed? Thanks
I run at 1000mm speed and 70% power :)
Sir is this machine work on stone granite for photo engraving? Please
I’m not sure as I don’t do photo engraving. The best place to ask would be the Sculpfun Facebook group. 😀
Hi! Have you tried the rotary with your Sculpfun? I have an S30 Pro 10w and the Ortur YRR 2.0 and just about to set it up as it says compatible. Hoping it is! Just wondered if you had tested that already?
Hey I haven't tested it but it is meant to work. ON the facebook group there are guides for when you are using a different brand. That should be able to get you up and running.
For an absolute beginner wanting to get a laser for engraving and some thin cutting would you recommend this one or the Sculpfun S9? I don't need the rotary part at all.
If you don’t want the rotary I would recommend the S9. It’s a great machine, basically plug and play and very easy to put together and use. The Ortur is great but if I had gotten this as the first laser I’m not sure how I would be going 😃😂
@@SmallFryCreations Thanks that helps a lot, really appreciate you taking the time to reply
Measuring the Bottle should have been done by measuring across the flat bottom, you may be accurate but not everyone doing it that way would have been.
What were you settings set for while engraving? Laser power and what not?
I have the speed speed set to 1000 and power to 70%
@@SmallFryCreations thank you very much!
Where are you finding your settings from?
Power and speed setting are trial and error but I run the laser at about 70% power and 1000mm speed but I'm playing around with increasing the speed. The rotary settings I followed a video from the louisiana hobby guy. There is a link in my video to that video that walks you through. Hope this helps
G'day again, do you prefer the Ortur Laser Pro 2 S2 or the Sculpfun S10 to do your cutting and engraving? What is best bang for your buck? Thanks and still love your work.
Thank you. Glad your enjoying the content. I prefer the Sculpfun. The lasers are great and there support and Facebook group is fantastic for help and guidance
Awesome videos! Do you prefer the S9 or the S10? I would be new to this so curious if one is easier then the other. I saw you had complications with communication to the software. Other then that is it just as easy from 9 to 10? Do you know if the software will recognize S10 yet? Thanks!!
Are these machines able to share the design and settings?
Hmm not 100% sure what you mean. You are able to save settings and then apply them to different layers in the design so you don't have to keep remembering the settings.
love ur vids. do u know if this rotary tool is compatable with any laser engraver or just this one?
Thank you. I have a feeling it is. I would double check with the laser brand you are using but I believe it would work with most.
@@SmallFryCreations thanks for the reply. I have seen a vid where a guy made his own so I mite try that first. Just ordered my engraver after watching a previious vid of urs. The sculpfun
@@scooterfarl_fpv2344 Amazing. The Sculpfun is a great piece of kit. Tonnes of fun and potenital
@@SmallFryCreations should have it next week. Hope ur gonna keep making laser vids. I'm half way round the world here but love ur content and ur accent
@@scooterfarl_fpv2344 :) Awesome! I have laser content in the works so it will keep coming. Just try to mix it up with woodworking as well :)
Hi there - may I ask why you changed from the Sculpfun S9?
Hey When I was asked to review the Ortur the Sculpfun didn't have a rotary attachment which it now does. I was keen to test and learn the rotary to see if I liked it hence the Ortur. I think the sculpfun is a fantastic laser and for a beginner it would be my recommendation.
@@SmallFryCreations Awesome - thank you. I make a lot of cutting boards, cheese boards etc. and sell them through local wineries. I plan on using the laser engraver to cut the winery logo into the board and then back fill the logo with epoxy resin. Therefor the deeper cutting depth of the S9 appeals to me.
Best regards,
Ian
Ooo great idea. I don’t know how a laser would go with going deep for resin without burning like crazy. You can definitely engrave and it’s awesome at it and can cut through but the edge is black from the burning. My latest cutting board video I engrave my logo and a picture on a cutting board and when you put the oil on the engraving pop! Might be helpful 😀
@@SmallFryCreations Hi Ainslie, sorry to resurrect this, noting you recommend the S9 for beginners, given some (enough to be dangerous anyway!) knowledge, what is your recommendation? I was just about to pull the trigger on the Ortur, but having seen this, now I am not so sure, especially with the rotary available on both. Thanks again and keep up the great work! :) :)
@@jamiehamilton1340 Hey The ortur is a good machine but I perfer personally the Sculpfun. I have the S10 Sculpfun due to to arrive with me in the next couple of days and I will start testing and putting a video together about it. I have had issue with the Ortur that when you go to start sometimes it moves to the start position and the laser comes on to start burning but then the laser doesn't move. I then have to stop it bring it back to home and start again. The sculpfun doesn't have limit switches which is a down side but the New Sculpfun S10 has a spot to install limit switches so that downside might be sorted. Overall I think the Sculpfun is a better laser in the ease of putting together and using. Hope this helps. Any other questions let me know and I will try my best to help.
Ok so I’ve watched your videos and the Louisiana hobby guy like 5 times each and still can’t get the tumblers to laser good..the only thing I got right was a small name but it still looked kinda weird…my image is coming out like if it’s squashed like picture putting your hands on your face and squishing it😆well it looks like that..the mirror image is correct and 90 degrees too but it looks squashed..first it was coming out huge even with my image small in the graph…what can I do please help been at this since 9 am😤thanks
Hey Sorry catching up on comments now. The first thing I would be checking is run a small rectangle around the bottle to see they are meeting so you know the measurements you have input into the rotary settings are right. The next thing I would check is the the laser is focused to the correct height. If all this fails I would be sure to join the Ortur Facebook group and you can post pictures and videos in there explaining what your doing and they would be able to assist with a solution. Hope this helps!
Good video except the music is way too loud! It should not be any louder than you speak
Thank you. Always learning and trying to imrpove
