Rest in Peace. Your helpful advice & videos will be greatly missed.
Your tutorials are fantastic! I just bought an Ortur...15 watt...how do I know what lens I have? My next step is to setup air assist.
Great video. Can this be done with the laser that comes with the Ortur Laser Master 2 20 watt or do i need to by the G8?
Do you sell the 3D printed nozzle? I need to do this exact thing with my 20w ortur but I'm pretty new to the laser scene as well and feeling a bit discouraged after trying to cut a few different media types. What thickness is this acrylic?
Nice tutorial. Great tip about acrylic re-melt! 👍
Does changing the lens require different safety glasses?
How long does it take for your machine to cut that out doing the twelve passes? Thanks
I need to cut 5mm thick acrylic sheet. What type of lens should I use in the Ortur 2 laser machine ? Could I buy one ?
Hello can I just cut the acrylic with the lense it comes with or do I need a specific one ? If so can you please link It I’m thinking on getting the petit to cut acrylic to do acrylic cake topper or what would u recommend ?
I have ortur lasermaster2 20w. Black acrylic. No air assist. Sometimes it cuts properly sometimes it won't. I have had my laser for 2 weeks. Why will it only cut the acrylic sometimes? Like you said it seems to melt back together at times. I dont understand. I have tried all speeds and all different power levels. Looking for consistency because this acrylic is getting expensive fast! Thank you for any help.
Could we just put black film over transparent acrylic? Any kind of masking maybe even tape to make cutting transparent acrylics possible?
How does this act as a coaster? Looks like a cup could fall off of it. And the condensation will go right through to your table.
Hello from Michigan. Great video as usual

Great stuff! I’m trying to figure out how to focus the later and cut shite acrylic. All it does is burn. Is it possible to cut white acrylic?

As mentioned in the video you should NOT try anything white with a visible light laser the reflections can be very dangerous!
Hi, I have an ortur master 2 20w, I have difficulty making the cut on 3mm wood, I put the assisted air but I have to do 6-7 steps and it does not always cut, can you help me?
Will this machine cut 1/8" acrylic used for templates in leather working?

Hi. Great video. I have the Ortur LM2 20watt and just ordered a G-8 lens. Which lens comes with the Ortur 20watt by default? Is it the G-2?

Typically they are universal 3 elements, so you will want a G2 as well as a G7 to round things out...

The Ortur Laser Master 2 20 watt is not able to cut through acrylic. Be aware of that.

its not as crisp as a 40k laser could do. and the 40k laser can do a lot more. and the 40k laser is only $100 more. this otur is practically useless.

@@IronMan-yg4qw You can get an Ortur for $185, ready to use. So plus the $100 you spoke of, there's no $285 40k. And every real review, (meaning someone who has purchased and uses it), has said the mirrors, exhaust and cooling system have to be replaced. Cost of up to $250 extra

Do you have both? I do (as well as several k40's) and the Orther does a great job as #1 it is FAR safer then the k40 (did you see the tube fail video), the safety issue list for k40 goes on and on. Second the k40 is junk out of the box, did you see all my alignment videos? The Ortur and NeJe just work out of the box. so sorry to say your comments are unfounded...
