Thankyou so much! The assembly part of this was a lifesaver! Factory had put in some of the pre-installed parts of mine upside down, so I had to take it completely apart and fix it, using your guide helped me understand why things didnt go together like the instructions!
Very good video , your version of assembly helped me much more than the manufacturer and other videos I have seen so far , I give you a 10!!! Thank you again , very good detail
Your assembly portion of the video was SOooooooo helpful. I was stuck in the terrible chinese instructions which didn't make a lot of sense. Your video cleared up a LOT of confusion and I now have an assembled engraver. Haven't run it yet, but feeling a lot better after 4-hours of attempted assembly. Whew! Cheers!
Me too! I got lost in Chinatown on the instructions lol I really got hung up on the middle bar and the laser head unit

next step is to put some geared nema 14 stepper for focusing, build an enclosure with UV filtering inspection window and exhaust tube for fumes :) I did read somewhere that commercial machines with high power laser and without UV protective enclosure are not quite legal to sell in a EU. Take this information lightly since I need to find a source for that. Nevertheless, this video made me thinking on adding a laser in my sapphire plus :D
Nice thinking, enclosure and exhaust is useful, but I don't want to add more weight to head. I like this focusing method, far the best I have meet so far. This is DIY machine and you have to put it together (and build enclosure if you need one). Since thomas sandler mentioned in one of his video that it is illegal, everybody think that fbi will knock on their door if they buy this product. Several comments asked thomas, but nobody could show written legal proof. (And I believe welding machines are more dangerous, let's make them illegal too)

@@MyTechFun That's right, Thomas mentioned that :D I just couldn't remember where did I get that information from.
PRC sellers have a way of circumventing laws :D ... for e.g. if this is sold as a tool and not as consumer device most of the laws do not apply (you do not need all the certifications you normally need for consumer devices as it is expected that engineers know how to use their tools :D ) fume extractor would be very useful as some of the materials produce extremely poisonous fumes while cutting (acrylic for e.g.)
Hey man! When i go to set the configuration file, the menu open up but all of the buttons are grey, and i cant see anything or import anything. It tells me “red and write enabled only when connected and idle”, like an error message. Do you know a fix to this or does my engraver actually have to be connected to my computer at this point? Thanks!
@@MyTechFun "a small fan" doesn't help much, a compressor or a high-pressure fan is required to provide high-pressure flow to get fine cuts, the black charging on the top of the cut almost go away and depth is significantly increased. small fan will help with fumes (some materials will have combustible fumes, also some fumes will absorb some of the power) but to have clear cut, less charring, and more depth you need high pressure air assist
@@MyTechFun I haven't used that particular laser module but very similar one I used (tad bigger, around 7.5W optical power but looks exactly the same) the fan on top that cools the module drives the air through the module and air exits around the laser beam and clears the smoke. If that's not happening on this module you have adding a small 25mm fan is usually enough to remove smoke (40mm of course works much better and is much quieter)... but the quality of cuts with the compressor is "nebo i zemlja" as we'd say :) ... I setup on friends laser a small miniature 4L compressor, we added a second bottle (used old used bottle for gas), a cheap flow regulator from aliexpress and made a tiny nozzle out of a thin copper tube, works awesome and cuts are super clean. Does not help too much with depth, for that we ordered some collimation lens to try to make the beam narrower... Btw, I see here you have difference in X and Y dimensions, I think this is 'cause the beam is oval and not round
Szia. Lesz esetleg erről a típusról valamikor magyarul is bemutató ? Tok jó lenne. A véleményedet szeretném kérni, hogy, mennyire jó minőségű a termék, vagy ezért az árért lenne jobb is? A 4 milis plywoodal mennyire bír el? A válaszod előre is köszi.

Hello, nice video. I was thinking buy one of this. but I have a question, I need the machine to cut some vinyl but I'm not too sure about the results of cutting on this material. Do you recomend this machine for that? Thanks
Vinyl not only produced deadly gas when cutting, it is also higly corrosive and every metal part of yout laser cutter would rust in very short time. Buy a vinyl plotter that cuts with a razor
Thank you for the video, very helpful. I have the very same engraver and it makes a really loud noise when it moves up and down. I tried both loosen and tighten the belts but none of that seems to work, both ways it makes it worse I would say. Do you have any suggestion?
It is not possible to engrave stainless steel with diode laser. You need fiber laser for that. A cheap alternative is cutting self adhesive stencils for electro chemical etching with diode laser
Most cardboard yes, even if they are thick (out of the focus). But in few weeks I will prepare a video testing different materials (cutting and engraving). I need more experience with this laser.

Nice, what program u use to design and then cut?
Which one is better between that and the sculpfun s30 ultra?thanx

In laserGRBL? Yes, to see buttons enabled, you have to connect the engraver (set port and baud) and then click connect, unlock.
Useful video, thanks!
was the stock safety glasses enough to protect you? thanks
Probably not to protect you from direct laser but they are enough to protect you from reflections.
I think air assist would help more with the cutting depth.
Yes, a small fan can probably help with a clean cut. But setting the right focus is very important too.

Twotrees vs ortur 2 which u think is better
Depend of the type, but new Aufero 2 is great with new laser modules (both presented in review)
@@MyTechFun ok thnx 🙏
can you test it on different steels? planning to buy this one but I'm not sure if the product description is true that it can mark on stainless steel
I already tested engraving stainless steel (with 4.5W laser). There is a video about it. But I will test it with this laser too in near future
👍
Very nice Vid, thank you
what would be the ideal source to connect this laser module I bought it but I don't know which source to use I have a 12v 1.5A?
Hello.
How many hours/minutes is the life of laser module?? What I have is a Totem S Laser 40w with 5.5 laser.
Thanks.
Great video. Will not work with mac laptop?
LaserGRBL only for Windows. For MAC use LightBurn
Thank you. How about Linux?
hello, whats the best? totem s 40W ( 5.5 ) or ortur master 2 20w ( 5.5 ) ? ty
Laser strength is almost equal but focusing is easier and better on Totem S (on linear rails). But Totem-S have smaller engraving area.
Hello, nice video. I was thinking buy one of this. but I have a question, I need the machine to cut some vinyl but I'm not too sure about the results of cutting on this material. Do you recomend this machine for that? Thanks
Sorry, I didn't tried it yet, I don't have vinyl at home to test it
You can't cut vinyl because it will give off a toxic gas. You're better off with a cutting machine like a cricut
Vinyl not only produced deadly gas when cutting, it is also higly corrosive and every metal part of yout laser cutter would rust in very short time. Buy a vinyl plotter that cuts with a razor
does any one know how to center the laser on the cross hairs and also change the meteral you are cutting using laser GRBL
Can it use with anodized aluminum ?
Yes, check one of my latest videos (Chewbarka tags)
Surprising that a 40W laser has a 36W power supply (12V * 3A)
Yes, I didn't notice that, they must round it up..
hello how do i package the totem for a flight? i cheeked the airlines Bagagge policy but i can find anything about a product like this one.
Sorry I don't have this kind of info. The most sensitive part may be the laser module. But you should check this from other sources
Thank you for the video, very helpful. I have the very same engraver and it makes a really loud noise when it moves up and down. I tried both loosen and tighten the belts but none of that seems to work, both ways it makes it worse I would say. Do you have any suggestion?
First try to find out that it is mechanical or electrical problem (is moving with hand smooth) Then check pulley, is in same level with other pulleys.
@@MyTechFunThe pulleys were okay, the problem was electrical. The wires contacts were touching and there was short circuit. Now it works smoothly
Hi! Which kind of wood do you use, where do you buy it?
That wood (phone holder) was in kit. But Plywood is comonly used for engraving (or cutting). Search for Plywood 3mm.
@@MyTechFun Thanks man!
Hello! I'm wondering if you've tried it to engrave stainless steel materials? I'm planning to buy an engraving machine for my jewelry business. 🥰
Yes, with even cheaper laser: ruclips.net/video/nTB1Ov3_JOA/видео.html
It is not possible to engrave stainless steel with diode laser. You need fiber laser for that. A cheap alternative is cutting self adhesive stencils for electro chemical etching with diode laser
Can it cut 3mm plexiglass ? (Acylic)
I tried only 2mm Acrylic so far, that can be cutted. I don't have 3mm at home.
Great! Can your user it for packaging design ( it can cut cardboard?)
Most cardboard yes, even if they are thick (out of the focus). But in few weeks I will prepare a video testing different materials (cutting and engraving). I need more experience with this laser.
can you also use it to engrave knives?
Stainless steel, yes with some mustard on it (there is a video about it)
@@MyTechFun i engrave without mustard
Can I just buy one of your laser engraver?..
I got 1for Shits and Giggles, I really am giggling understanding what all this can do.
Show us it on metal with mustard
In few weeks I will have another video only testing different materials, including steel
