What do you think of the different rotary modes, useful or gimmick? Here is a link to the Kickstarter: geni.us/laserpecker2

The rotary attachment is great for long pieces but you must first build a jig to stop it slipping on the rollers as it tips either end. I used mdf and 3dprinted rollers with bearings and it works great now.

Personally I could use a mobile engraver like that, but it would be more interesting to see tank wheels on a gantry machine.
I would love to see some more practical engraving examples ... YETI mug, glass, black granite tiles
Just got mine. Thanks for the information! Even more excited to try it out!
I have been waiting for this to unlock the potential I needed an engraver for
Loved the detail in this video, thank you
Great Test. But the dot size can be affected by the direction of the wood structure (because if hard and soft area) you could rotate the test piece by a quarter turn and laser and measure again or just use other material then wood which is more even
Thank you for all the information. I learned the most from watching you. Now I can play around with the LaserPecker Pro that Ive had for more than a year. Lol
thank you for this amazing and specifically video! Appreciated a lot! 🙏
This is rough - can’t figure out how “sponsored” this video is. So many bad reviews on this unit and the company but I’m in love with the compact design and portability of this unit.
Great review. I've been waiting for galvos to become affordable. Great trend right now. At 13:17 you started saying the width was 1,000 mm. Is it really 100mm? I finished the video and you did say 100mm. Nicely done. I'm hoping we see a lot more galvo laser offerings and reviews from you. thanks!

What would you recommend for embossing or foil on to cards?
Could you do small texture rollers for clay or dough?
Very well said, Brandon!!!😊
I am just getting into Pneumatic gun engraving but my by-hand drawing skills aren't very good. I am thinking one could paint the gun surface and use this laser engraver to put your art work on the painted surface so you can trace with pneumatic engraver tool. And if you don't like the way your artwork looks you can just remove the paint and start over without scaring the metal surface. What are your thoughts on this??
Does this work on Aluminum and or polymer plastic?
I like the build quality and amazing attention to detail on the whole LP product range, except the L2 rollers, because gnarling is traditionally used to improving finger grip on rotary knobs, it doesn't really grip things only resting on it. It also tends to lose grip easily unlike rubberised or silicon rollers. They may look aesthetically pleasing, but in my book functionality and practicality ranks much higher.
Thx for your preview appreciate it. What about engraving realistic picture in nearly photo quality?

I might not have had the settings dialed in but this probably wouldn't be the best bet, especially due to the size of the machine. I would go with Ortur or Atomstack for that.
I Just Bought a Laser Pecker 3, I am New to Lasers and this has no Manual! How do I get Black Markings on Various Metal Types Including Zinc Alloy with Electroplated Coating? Do I need a product like "Brilliance"? Thanks!
thanks, I wonder if there's adult education classes for using machines like these. I'm going to check in my area
So does it have a F-Theta lens to be able to focus flat over the whole work area??
Will this work on PLA 3D filament?
Most of my projects are of wood. How would I engrave the center of a 12" or 16" wood bowl with my logo and signature. Doesn't look like it would work for my wood bowl needs. Good review BTW :)
How does your camera pan and move while you're doing your videos when you're not holding it?
A bunch of reviews said the software updates change the lasers parameters and skews the designs and script. Was that corrected?
Perfect !!!
Thank You! Way cool informative video' and your really cool also!🖖😶👍
Dose this kind of machine would be the substitute against the lathe machine ?
what is the ocular hazard distance for this?
Can you please review and compare this to the Mr Carve.
Is there a way to import your own files to the app or on the computer? It seems pretty pointless if the only customization you can do is text or drawing.
If it can move on both x and y axis...im sold
I just got a Autero Laser2 a day wou.d li,like, to do the tests you did in your video but I can't find it. Canyon send me the link. I enjoyedyourvideo and Plano watching more of them. Thanks😊
So if you slide something through that slot, it won't be in focus. Because the focus point is below the cover.
... can you Engrave Polymer ? And Colors on Polymer..? Thanks

Have you seen a Maslow CNC before? They have a work area of 4'x8' and can be wall mounted, and now sell with an optional laser engraver. Been super curious if the laser engraver is worthwhile
@makeorbreakshop
Жыл бұрын
I haven't see the laser attachment specific to Maslow but with most CNC's they use something like Jtech as an add on. The higher wattage add ons get pretty pricey and a nearly the same price as a dedicated machine from Atomstack/xTool. They are great though at the lower wattages if you wanted to start playing around with laser engraving, especially if you are caring/cutting the piece as well on the CNC.
Can you do a video on how this laser does when engraving metals? Please!!!...thanks!!!

It will only work with coated metal like stainless steel or powder coated. For real metal engraving you'll need to step up to a true fiber laser.

There has been an announcement of a Laserpecker 3, which they're saying will be designed to work with metal, which *sounds* like perhaps a fiber laser, but if it is, its likely to be a lot more expensive than the LP1 or 2.

How much price
Hello, Where can I buy this machine?
do the lasers ever run out like buying a machine like this or any other ones how long does machines likes these last
Nice device. How does the beam remain focused when scanned from the vertical? The focal distance will change from the center (vertical) to the outer limits of the scan, so is this corrected for inside the scan head?
@Formul8ed
2 жыл бұрын
It doesn't do any sort of correction. As you get further from the center and the focus changes, it does fade. Engraving wood, slate tiles, or plastic hasn't been a problem at all, but when I do a 100x100mm porcelain tile using the Norton White Tile method, when it hits about 80 mm it starts to fade. For most things, you can just run an extra pass or two, but with NWT, extra passes actually lighten the image.

How does it perform on hardwood materials just purchased one and the end result is very patchy on some reclaimed oak flooring
@makeorbreakshop

Oak is pretty porous so the issue might be more with the wood vs the machine. You'll need something that is tight grain to get a good consistent result. With testing I usually wind up using MDF or cardboard to get the best image results.

On the website, the 2nd version is able to cut, and I watched another KZread video demonsrating cutting wood. This is the statement from the website: "Thanks to the 5W semiconductor laser with the upgraded version of compressed spot technology You can have a higher standard and more powerful laser cutting with LaserPecker 2. Wood, paper, acrylic, leather goods with a thickness under 5mm." The website also provided images as well,
Wow expensive. Seems like this also cries out for a vacuum table to suck down the card stock. I take it the base can be removed and it screwed to your own base that might be a vacuum table.
I giggle every time I hear the name. lmao. It's pretty neat though!
