OMGEEEE.. I have waited for this video for soooo long! Ok.. gotta watch! Thanks so much!
Been waiting for this before making my final decision! Thank you 🙏🏽
Thanks for making this video! Very informative and unbaised product review. Hope Comgrow Z1 can also be on your list in the future.
Thanks so much for providing these test files. I've been struggling to find a great resource for settings for my Two Trees 5 watt laser. I just didn't know where to start or what to expect.

Great through review--Thanks!
So cool I got one gifted from a amazing family member!! So informative!
Very nice video. Really appreciate a channel with a solid interest in affordable lasers. It seems that this will be the year when actually usable diod lasers for cutting arrive. Looking forward to seeing more reviews, especially the Atomstack P7 and A10 which makes bold claims to both high output and small dot size.
Excellent video! Very helpful indeed!!!!
love the setting board!!!!!
As a UK viewer a quick mention of both the mains power ,ie is there a 115/240 switch or a auto power supply and if its a built-in plug would be of some help. Thanks for reviews keep it up.
I just ordered one for my business, we'll see how it goes 💪
So I probably missed it but what laser do you recommend the closet to cutting and engraving in this category? I know they can’t cut threw lot but just one that can least cut and good engraving
Im still using my eleksmaker laser. Noticed it uses 2 stepper motors to drive the y axis compared to this sculpfun which has the one stepper motor and the long shaft to the other side. Considering recreating this on mine and reusing that extra stepper for a z axis or possibly rotary attachment! Also 3d printing an air assist that uses a small aquarium pump!

I have eleks draw,can im put laser on eleksdraw ,then if can,how max watt im can upgrade to avoiding from damage that eleksdraw circuit
I would be happier if you talked about Acrylic and ABS type plastics too. Anyway thanks fir the video
Cool video, thanks. Just a quick question if I may - between the S9, S30 Pro Max and the S30 Ultra which one would be a better pick considering that the budget is somewhat flexible? It is for some general purpose cutting ( Balsa, Plywood, Acrylic etc. ) and less of engraving. I am somewhat inclined towards the S30 Pro Max with the 20W Laser Module.
Hi! Great review, thanks for sharing. I'm considering buying a Sculpfun S9, but I'm concerned about its long-term durability. Since your video was made a while ago, could you please share your experience regarding its performance over time? Has it held up well, and have you encountered any significant issues? Any insights would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
Hey. Downloaded the cutting test file but yet to run it. Just looking over the layers I can’t see how you’ve set the 10%,20%,30% etc for each speed. They show as 100 for each square on the layers. What am I missing ? New to lightburn so assume it’s overwritten somewhere ? Thanks!
I cut 5mm plywood 2 passes, using air assist, with very smooth edges, and very little burn marks on the back side, top side, has no burn marks whatsoever.
How would this do a cutting inch thick foam? I want to make inserts for some toolboxes to lay tools out neatly and have thought about using something like this to do it
I liked your video. One thing I would very much like to know, what is the highest "true power" LASER head can the S9 safely handle (say DC current of 5 to 6 Amperes) and still use the existing controller and existing wiring with the exception of the external power supply due to the increased current requirements? The controller PCB is is marked as rates for 12/24 volt input.
So the ad came up with you in the ad. Just made me laugh

Thanks for the review. I am torn between this and the Aufero 2 with the LF laser unit. Looking to do a mixture of engraving and cutting, nothing more than 3mm thick. If you have to choose, which would you go for?
@makeorbreakshop
2 жыл бұрын
Probably Aufero since you'll have the ability to change out the laser module if need be.
I'd like to see you look at comgrow's congo z1 10w. It's pretty budget oriented( 300-350 typically)
Loogs great. Would the standard setup handle a Life Tree 40W power wise? (5mm acrylic and MDF planned)
Hi! I wanted to download the file, but unfortunately it doesn't work. I press download but nothing happens.
I have the Sculpfun S9 and I downloaded and printed the test file but when I print it starts printing very dark box and not a regular line as you showed. I sent you a email with picture of the print
So I have watched a few of the videos now and seems like there are a lot of decent options, but in your experiance of using them what would be your go to for best all around quality value etc?

Bro I want to buy this machine but got a question! Is is possible to run it without the laser? I want to use it for ''another'' project. I want to move this thing to certain location with my own code is that possible? Please help me answer this question.
Hoping you can help. Only have budget for 5w engraver and can’t figure out my best option out of these 3 units to be able to add accessories or upgrade later: atomstack a5 m50 pro, x tool d1 pro or sculpting s9 for my woodworking business. Watched too many reviews and I’m overloaded at this point, any help you can provide would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
How does the S9 stand up to cutting Basswood for miniature buildings?
may I ask for help? I work with acrylic stuff but mostly cutting if I want to buy a machine wich one in your opinion is the best for budget? thanks 🙏

I have a sculpfun s9 450x900 extend version,3D prinding benchmark and serice engineer with Cad Cam design trainng. (Making 3D parts from sketch or technical dwg. Provided with BOM if not) and i still dont understand! Hard wood,not doing it for me! Regular wood? The fibers are going to burn and the contrast and shades are off. Recomandation! Flat soft wood,No fibres! Even! For portrait and face,use jarvis settings in Lightburn for good shades in Peisaje!

I honestly don't understand why you would want to cut through thick plywood on so many passes at 100% power, not unless you have deep pockets!. Diode lasers, although they can accomplish it will burn out in no time. Monies wasted there replacing the diode lasers over time could have been used on a decent 60-100w CO2 laser which can at a lower percentage output, put up with the abuse.
I WISH TO OWN THIS AND START A BUSINESS WITH IT BUT I DONT HAVE THE MONEY TO BUY IT.CAN YOU DONATE IT PLEASE?
Sculpfun has a rubbish and dishonest shipping service I ordered mine on the 5th December thinking I would get my machine shipped by DHL 16th December still waiting!!! AVOID AT ALL COSTS 👎🏼
