Another great video, love all the info you put out.
-
thanks for making this! ( also i did get an xTool ad before your video started lol )
-
Awesome video! Have been on the fence about which engraver/cutter to get and have been leaning towards the Falcon Pro 2 as I love Creality's 3d printers. Very helpful!
-
Thanks for putting this out man. It really reinforces my decision. I still can't believe how fast you were able to get this out. XD cheers brudder
-
I would have to agree with the way you sorted them. Just one point that you missed that's probably the most important one. And that is, the LaserMATIC is the only machine that works in absolute coordinates with absolute precision because of the fixed honeycomb. By the way, it's pronounced, "Rowlee", named after a man called Roland.
-
Love my Roly Mk2, support and customer service are 2nd to none!
-
I am loving my Atomstack A70 Max. So powerful for a diode. The only downside is the non--enclosed part, but I just run it in my garage with the door open and fans running.
-
I think Snapmaker Ray 40W deserves up your chart man! Its high fidelity and precision, very accurate and safety precautions are an important factors.
-
Informative video, thank you. May I ask in your opinion which is the quietest to operate Roly mk2 30w Creality falcon 40w Xtool S1 40w kind regards
-
Thx. I assume these are all diode lasers? If so, would you be able to do a video like this for desktop co2 lasers please?
-
Thanks for another useful video. If you have a moment, where does your Thunder "Bolt" sit in this lineup? That's the machine I am most interested in. Obviously you could not cover everything, and one important factor you overlooked is maintenance. For example, the Roly requires removal of several tiny screws to clean the lens and shroud, while others use magnets and other methods. For me, difficult maintenance could be a deal breaker.
-
AtomStack had also came out with a 70W, i have not looked at review yet for it however. I do like my S1, i replaced my D1 Pro with it
-
V-Rollers vs Linear Rail and/or Precision Ground Rod is another aspect that has me intrigued. What is your opinion on all that?
-
So, why did not include the Xtool M1 machine?? Since you included the Glowforge at 6w?
-
Fantastic video. Just one correction, the XTool S1 is not fully Lightburn compatible, just the basic features.
-
does the falcon2 have its own program? i wanting a machine but have not decided yet.
-
Does the enclosure prevent the use of a rotary equipment to engrave on cylindrical object? The open-air frame seems easier to raise upwards to create enough space for the rotary and the glass/cup/mug item.
-
So i dont know about the others, but i will say your xtool s1 is a basic setup. With how they sell them they always bundle things. So i just got on the easter sale, i do think there is a big gap between just the base machine and what they are actually selling. Like the riser base was tossed on with everything. But going with max config and having thr conveyer adds a whole lot more working area than others.
-
Could this sort of laser engraving device be used to engrave words onto plastic wall switch plates, to label what each switch does?
-
I am waiting for a galvo combo all in one system like the diode lasers are getting.
