Awesome machine for Beginners
Now I’ve only had this thing for a month I believe, so I feel like this is an excellent choice for DIYers, and people who want to test the ropes of laser engraving before they invest in a bigger machine.But there is some pros and cons that I’ve noticed and I’ve tested different widths and materials and gotten mixed results. So this is going to be as thoughtful as I can given the fact I personally bought this to learn from scratch how to use it.Pros*Easy to install and begin to use right outside of the box.*The machine can make wonderful designs relatively fast. (Like most of what I’ve seen is 30 seconds to 5 minutes)*For being a foot away from my computer, the sound is not loud, nor annoying. I could hear it run for an hour and not lose my marbles. I’d say it’s relatively the same sound as a microwave hum with the occasional squeak. Or a bathroom fans constant noise. (Depends on what you’re printing and on what item)*The device comes with eye protection, which is wonderful for me who loves to stare straight at something to make sure it’s working. (Not at all recommended to do though even if the glasses make it safer, protect your eyes!!)*if you’re a speedy worker and need to touch the engraved spot immediately, you can! It’s not hot at all once the laser is done and it cools within seconds. (Atleast using plywood I’m not sure about other things) I’d also say this is a smart device for avoiding fires.*its tilt detection is almost so good it’s annoying. I try to pull my item out from under it, boom, it locks up. It’s a very very easy fix though. One little button and it’s back to normal, and wonderful for those concerned of a safety issue.Cons*SVG files neither come with the device, or are simple to find and use. But that could be a beginner issue. (But to add to this, the free software they give you comes with “tests” to run such as cutting, speed vs power and other things.)*The more professional app to use this device as an artist would expect, is an extra $99. You can do an insane amount more only because the devices full potential does not exist without this app.*Ventilation should be more prominently displayed as an issue. I had to set up my fan to blow the smoke out of my room, granted, it’s a 50 sq ft room, with a window less than 5 ft away. But hold digression to your own self, some materials are toxic to burn and breathe in.*based on testing plywood (at sizes 1/4in, 1/2in 1/8in and 1/16in and then mdf (1/8in), the machine can not cut very well even in the smaller sizes. I intended on using it for making board game pieces, and only truly wanted it to cut through 1/8th. But at full power, and running 100 cycles around the exact item, it engraves fine, but only gets a fingernails width deep. I would say the 1/16th inch is the best it can do, and yes, I’m aware it’s a 2.5mw laser, it’s only suggested up to 5mm… which, atleast points to it being able to do 3/16s… which is 1/16th bigger than 1/8th if I’m not mistaken… so it shouldn’t struggle.*I’m just stating this incase someone needs all the possible scenarios, it needs to plug into a usb slot in a PC, which means you need either a laptop or computer. Incase you happened to have neither, sorry, it’s unable to do anything.Ending remarksI’d suggest this item for diyers and folks willing to learn the ropes, but by no means is it of course professional grade unless you’re willing to purchase $99 in software and fiddle around with settings.

Fonctionne très bien! La machine est déjà pratiquement monté. Je l’adore, Merci beaucoup
