Cool! Happy engraving!

I would like to know where I could find similar models as you used to make that dinosaur?

I got the Atomstack A5 Pro and it is fantastic!!!!! It takes time but it cuts the 5mm plywood so nicely that it is amazing. It is a machine that REALLY CAN CUT. Don't believe that it cannot. Yes takes time that is for sure but it CAN cut it (with minimal conical degradation). But a closed box is a must!!! And ventilation to take the fume out!!! It gets very stinky soon. And air assist probably helps a lot as well... (did not try it yet) And you DO NEED LightBurn worth to buy it not expensive (and you will spend a lot more to plywood anyway :-) ) And if you want to cut elevating the cutted material is a MUST so do make a bed of nail or similar... It is not very quite the fan has noise (might be changed to a quieter one but the box helps with that as well... What it cannot cut is thicker material (2-3cm) not even foam!!! the degradation of the laserbeam does not allow it, it cuts down to 10-12mm than it just stops does not matter how many times the laser beam goes through... sooo it has it's limitation but again ... IT CAN CUT

@@brianbean19 My pleasure. I still did not make the closed box still considering how it should look. The material has to be able to move from right to left and you need to see kit from front to see if the laser did cut it through or not. And also needs light into the box.

Hi I was wondering if you can help me? I’m trying to buy a laser engraver I don’t know which one to go with I recently checked out universal engravers but then I saw the Atomstack X 20 pro which looks pretty cool do you know anything about these two companies?

Hello Ding.. I love your content and your tool reviews!!!! Quick question... do you use an exhaust fan when laser engraving/cutting? If not, how bad is the smell in the garage. I live in an area that frowns upon me opening my garage door when working in the garage.. Thanks

@DingsWorkshop

3 жыл бұрын

Hello! This machine does create quite an amount of smoke, and the smoke is definitely detectable by the eye and the nose. When I use this machine, I use a household fan to blow away the smoke if I leave my garage door open; or I get my dust collector hose running close to it if my garage door is closed. Please note that depending on the material, the smell can be unpleasant and might even be toxic.

@DingsWorkshop

Hi Daniel, Thanks for your question. Unfortunately I have not dealt with machines for cutting. majority of my applicates are engraving. What I can tell you is that, machines that's powered by laser diodes will not be effective or efficient in cutting plywood. MDF is much denser and thus will have even harder time cutting using a laser diode machine. I'm no expert here but your best bet is searching for either a fiber laser or a CO2 laser for heavy duty cutting applications

what we your setting for dino cut out and how many passes.THANKS

@DingsWorkshop

you can try 1000 power 500 speed, it should cut 1/8" plywood in 7 passes. You can also reduce the number of passes by reducing the speed. The net time for cutting will be the same though

How do you protect the wood from burning? Is a special material or just regular plywood? Basswood? Etc... thanks

@DingsWorkshop

3 жыл бұрын

The wood will burn if too much energy is applied at a single spot. I generally keep power setting to be 750 or less (in LaserGRBL). Another factor is the speed which your laser moves. If moving too slow then then more energy is applied to the spot, hence having higher chance of causing burning

想问您个问题，最新出的这个牌子的X7 pro和这个有什么最大的区别吗，为什么我看x7 pro切割木板的时候会有很大的烧焦的部分，而a5 pro 好像切割木板不会有那么多烧焦的部分？是我的错觉吗。

@DingsWorkshop

2 жыл бұрын

你好！用激光机型切割的时候，烧焦部分取决于能量和速度两大要素。比如高能能量+低速度会导致木头的一个区域承受很大的能量，从而导致更容易有烧焦的部分。但如果高能量+高速度的话，有可能需要过几次才能够完成切割。

对。这个主要是取决于木头在同一时间承受的能量大小。速度慢的话同一区域承受的能量高，就容易烧焦。速度快些的话，激光的能量很快就挪动到木头的其它区域

ATOMSTACK A5 30W works for 10,000 hours, so after this time what should I do , or buy? to keep the machine working? Does the machine cut acrylic? If yes, after how many passes?

@DingsWorkshop

3 жыл бұрын

Hello! First of all I don't think the 10,000 hours is something you need to worry about...assuming you use the laser for 4 hours per week (which I think is a lot for a hobbist), you won't hit the 10,000 hour mark until after 48 years of usage lol. Now, assuming you're a professional who uses this laser on a daily basis of 8 hours per day to produce goods to sell, 10000 hour still gives you nearly 3.5 years. (although keep in mind that this laser is by no means well suited for professional/manufacturing work).

But one thing to note is Yeti mugs are usually in a "cone" type of shape, so as the laser head moves, it might go out of focus due to the distance increment between the laser module and the Yeti surface. here's an example of a rotary accessory: kzread.info/dash/bejne/h5ttj9WGYcnHetI.html
