Thanks for the hint of not cutting PVC. I did a quick research and found a really useful page of a well-known laser company that explains the problem in detail. This is indeed super important for every user of a laser machine, so they should have provided this information! Great video though, very nice to watch and pretty informative 🙏
The engravings, when you show them up close, look very pixelated. Is this the laser engraver itself, or did you feed it low resolution raster images? Is it capable of producing a smooth, fine line that doesn't look pixelated, either from a vector file or a high resolution bitmap?
Can you share your settings regarding the engraving of the stainless steel pendant? I tried the parameters as indicated by Creality (100%, 500 mm/min, height (?)) but no cut was visible. Might be that I need to try some more with the lightburn software, but I just want to make sure that it's not e.g. a focal length issue.
Can you share the settings or do a video on light burn with this laser? I tried to cut the supplied wood using the test guide and it barely made a mark. Not sure what I am doing wrong.
Please can you help me, I have a few questions. Can I import my own images from my own artwork on my laptop to be engraved? Is the software hard to learn? Where is the best place to buy thin wood like the wood you used for your tree in the video. Thank you so much! Thumbs up!
You can import your own images. Lightburn is pretty easy to get up and running with. Might take a little time to get familiar with how to adjust the settings you need, but the manual is also pretty good. Finally, I order most of my plywood from Amazon. 12 inch, 3mm thick birch plywood.
Great review young man! I received mine last month. I was able to do 1 project with mine, now every time I send the Gcode the Laser powers off several times and won't do anything. Anyone have any ideas on this issue?
Thanks for the comment! Unfortunately, I haven't experienced any issues like that, so I can't be of much help there. Have you reached out to creality's support about that issue?
Hi ! just wondering, can you cut through aluminuium or stainless steel ? Here you engrave it, but I guess cutting a for example 1,5mm aluminium would be possible ?
No, diode lasers are not able to cut metal. You can make dark marks on the surface of stainless steel, but it's not actually removing able metal. You would need a different type of laser, like a fiber laser, to work with metals.
Thanks for the video. I thought I was going crazy on mine also but realized it is likely firmware for the drift, since if I home the laser and cut again, it aligns almost perfectly multiple times over the same engrave. Have you been able to update to the sept 7th version they have up on their site? My cutter doesn't seem to do anything when I put that file on the micro sd card, and try to update it.
I was able to get it to update. Apparently, I was just not patient enough when waiting for it to start the update. And This solved my alignment issues perfectly also.
Please, i want to engrave into BRASS. Small logo 5x5mm. Example Smiling FACE. Do you think, it would be possible also with 5W laser, and would it be readable? thanks

Thanks Chris. Great review! May have to pick me up one of these.
Sir Nicely Explaind, Please tell me one thing how can we cut Acrylic sheet with it?
Excellent, will it be used to manufacture PCBs?

Is it sufficiently accurate to operate with vector scan?
Thank you for such a helpful and informative review!
Good review; thank you.
I couldn't find the link where the power and speed list is, can you share it with me? 4:35

Can you tell me if the roller engraving attachment will work with the CR-Laser Falcon 10W Laser?

@@HoffmanEngineeringThis is a big help! Thank you so much! Great videos. 😊
What is the mat you are using and where did you get it?
Oh it can't cut clear acrylic? Bummer! I was hoping to get one for partly that purpose.
Nope, no blue light diode laser can cut clear acrylic. You'll need an infrared CO2 laser for that.

What speed and power did u use to cut stuff?? Thx !

Hi. Can you cut clear acrylic that has a different colour sticker on it? And also engrave on it?
Same qustion

No, no diode laser can engrave on brass. The lasers wavelength isn't right. To engrave brass, you need a fiber laser.
Can this device cut through thin tin and/or very thin brass?
Unfortunately not, not the right wavelength laser to work with any kind of tin or brass.
Really good video! If my Ender 3 laser conversion doesn't pan out I might just turn it back into a printer and pick one of these up.
I am tossing up between the Ender 3 attachment and the full Falcon 10w set up. How did you go?
@@skeetarus not good, pick up the Falcon or an arguably much nicer xtool.

Freaking Creality. I'll never buy another 3D printer from them. Am I in for the same headaches with this thing in 2024?
Which printer did you have? I've got the K1 and haven't had any issues so far
Does anyone know if the laser would engrave granite
I guess you've never heard of a honeycomb bed. That should be the first thing you should get before you use the machine.
cut pvc or ps?
You'd never want to laser pvc, that gives off chlorine gas which is very dangerous (to both you and the machine).
You sound like AI. lol
Thanks! I've been aiming for just the right amount of uncanny valley in my voice lol
Be careful, the laser head is a piece of sh....et very, very short life time.
This looks awesome! I want one. :ship_it_parrot:
