A special thank you to Creality who kindly sent me this Falcon 2 Pro to feature on my RUclips channel. I have created this "First Impressions" video to cover all the different features of the machine and give my honest opinion as to whether I would recommend this product. I tried my best to approach this video as a "show and tell". I guide you along with me as I discover the features and discover what this machine is capable of. To me, this is the most authentic approach I could take, while also providing me the oppourunity to educate those who may be new to lasers.
I have broken this video up into different sections, all of which I have timestamped below. I hope this video is successful in helping you make a better informed decision as to whether this product is the right fit for you. I will follow up this review in 6 months to add any further comments if necessary. If you have any further questions, please leave a comment down below and I'll get back to you as soon as possible.

I was able to get the rotary working on my Falcon 2 pro, but I had to do some messing about with magnets to trick the safety so I could remove the drawer bottom. I also had to add some extension legs (borrowed from another machine) to raise it up a bit.
Best I can tell, the rotary is actually designed for the older non-pro version that doesn't have the enclosure and safety features.

[@thehardwareguy]

Thanks for the input! Yes I think you're right, I would agree that the rotary tool seems designed to be used with the regular Falcon 2.

I cant thank you enough! I have the same machine and is a beginner at all of this your video helped me a bunch! Please do a video on how to integrate the rotary kit

[@thehardwareguy]

You're most welcome, glad I could help! I wouldn't recommend the rotary tool for this model of the Falcon. From my research it looks like the Rotary Kit is designed to work with the "Falcon 2" not the "Falcon 2 Pro". I could be wrong, but based on my experience this seems to be the case.
