      Same I actually bought this product and then realized I hadn't checked the reviews. It had many positives on Amazon and it was on sale. It also has amazing upgrades that were basically plug and play. The rollers for cups etc. Larger print area body. I do 3d printing so looking forward to this and save for a smaller cnc machine in the future.

    Another tip on the FIRE button: Hold Shift down and press FRAME, and it will enable the laser and trace the outline area of your work (in a square / rectangle) so you can see that your piece is lined up properly. I got my S9 a month ago, and I LOVE it !!

    Brilliant video. Just got my S9 and have assembled it, but I found the recommended belt tensioning was way off the mark and the X Beam (laser gantry) kept sticking or catching as it went on its travels, but following your guidance and advice, it now runs like a “well oiled machine” and is as smooth as silk. Yours is certainly the most helpful video on the S9 that I have found. Thanks for posting it.

At 62, I just purchased a stupidly large laser engraver. It's 150 watt 6 1/2 feet wide by 5 1/2 feet deep. I made my own cnc machine. You were the first video I clicked on. I do have a little background in IT. 2 degrees and a handful of certifications. You are a breath of fresh air. Love how you mention your mistakes and what you did to correct them. Perfect.

    I'm used to larger, corded routers ruclips.net/user/postUgkxfQ5_mgwq6PcudJvAH25t-I4D-3cTPz4z so this was a different experience for me. Basically, this is an incredibly sweet machine, fits well in the hand, etc. It has slightly less power than I'm used to, but that's understandable. Maneuvering freehand takes some practice. These days, it's especially nice to be able to avoid power cords. This is above the level of a hobbyist but below a pro level.

    Good video. I've had the S9 for a couple of months now and I love it. It just seems the best bang for buck, a great combination of size, power and quality. I have added a 3d printed air assist which makes cutting much faster, reduces smoke staining and theoretically keeps the lens cleaner. Also added limit switches which, along with absolute coordinates, makes repeatability for production work much better.

    I found this great video during a search for the S9 as i have just bought one it was on a special offer on Amazon at less than £260 delivered I have been looking at getting a laser cutter for while. I am impressed with your solution to raise the work material from the surface. i will make one myself as you found those honey combe beds are very expensive. I searched for one myself and found them to be even more expensive here in the UK where i am the cheapest one i could find was over £200. and that was for an A4 sized one. I am impressed by the quality of the machine and am looking forward to getting started with it later today. this will be a good addition to my workshop.

I have set my machine up this took about 15 mins to assemble and as you say, in the video the instructions supplied are very good. My first cut after engraving my logo is a sign with 350mm tall letters this i will be starting hopefully tomorrow when the plywood is delivered.

      @@SmallFryCreations I actually purchased the Sculpfun S9 just after commenting on your video. When I clicked the link in the description, I saw that Banggood had a nice reduction on the price that was valid for 4 hours at the time I saw it. So I jumped on it. Every brand seems to have a great feature or two that the others don’t and then a drawback as well - eg. Atomstack has a powerful laser and offline control but it’s hard to to get any kind of air assist going on the unit due to the laser housing’s design. Finally just had to whittle down to what was most important for my usage; well built with a powerful laser that’s affordable in my budget. The S9 checks those boxes. Looking mainly to make router templates with it. I’d just not ever seen a video of someone going through using it in such detail. Thanks so much!!!

    Stroll on, what a great video. Not sure why but the YT algorithm has started presenting me videos from people in Australia all of a sudden. I am in the Czech Republic, so we are not exactly close, and the main topic I look at is motorcycles and boats. Anyway finding you was totally random and I love this first view, so am well happy to subscribe and see what else you are up to. I am also about to check out Banggood and the Sculpfun prices.

    Mine crashed into the back end bcos It wasn't in the Home position.. This has been seen cutting 19mm thick PLYWOOD .. I only got my S9 this morning.. I left it in the box til about 5pm this evening but as the house emptied out and everybody headed off to parties I began to get itchy feet and went out to my workshop and began to set it up.. I paid 235 Euros for this Laser my friend.. I'm bloody well impressed..
    Now I'm going to take a belt at building my own CNC Router machine next. It's always been the electronics that have half frightened me to death but a Channel called @Open Builds on YT has helped me see it.. I will be looking out for some videos from u in the near future that is unless this video is months old and u already have a load done .. LOL

I will be using lasergbrl but seeing what you've done I may plumb for lightburn....seems the cost is outweighed by its usefulness..
    You're a great host, very easy to listen to and informative.
    Keep up the great work

      Thanks Gary. I to was worried about the instructions and getting it together but very easy. I have used light burn more since the video and am really enjoying it. But no harm starting in lasergbrl as it’s free and testing it out. Light burn also does a 30 day trial so you could always try it and see what you think 😀 exciting time and enjoying your laser 😀

      I do customized cerakote painting for engine parts of automobiles and motorcycles and predominantly firearms. People want those engraved with various things but I have never touched an engraver in my life.
      While your video was extremely informative, and thank you for the smile and bubbly personality made it a lot more interesting, I was hoping you would show various metalworking engravings possibly what I’m looking for is in the other links you have provided I will go research them.
      But I also have a serious comment/question that I will post here:
      I could be wrong here and it would not be the first time. But galvanized versus aluminum as a base plate sounds like a bad idea to me.
      When galvanized is heated be at cutting with a torch or even a grinder, and definitely with arc welding it puts out extremely toxic fumes that are accumulative into your body meaning once they’re in there they’re stuck and your body does not slowly purge them away much like lead.
      Fumes from the engraving sounds to me like they should be sucked away with some type of vacuum system or blown away and extracted out of the room with fans.
      Comments anyone?

    • @SmallFryCreations
      @SmallFryCreations  Год назад

      Hey a CO2 laser may be a better option then a diode laser. The diode lasers like you see in my video won’t cut or engrave any colour other then black. I don’t have experience with CO2 lasers but I believe they would be better as I know they at least will cut all acrylic. Just not 100% on engraving. Hope that is a little helpful 😀
