SCULPFUN S6 PRO vs S6 - Which Laser Engraver Is The Best For YOU? [2021 Performance Comparison Test]
Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль
Here is an in-depth review and the performance test comparing the Sculpfun S6 and Sculpfun S6 pro engraving machines. I will test performance of these laser engravers by engraving wood, wood laser cutting, cutting acrylic (plexi glass), hardwood, engraving anodized aluminium and cutting cardboard. I will also evaluate the results and measure the laser focus beam size to check if the machines have rectangular or square focus spot.

On the link above, I have tested the machine with a standard wood engraving pattern (power scale, interval test and photo engraving), a focus distance test, and plywood and hardwood cutting test. I also measured the focus spot size by engraving a test pattern on anodized aluminium and used a microscope to measure the beam size.

10:38 Conclusion
I think the Sculpfun S6 pro is better than Atomstack A5 Pro, Ortur Laser Master 2, Eleksmaker, Neje Master 2, Nasum A5 Pro and similar machines I have seen so far. It has a lot of power and the smallest dot size of 0.08mm square. It is capable of very detailed engravings.
Machine supports LaserGRBL or Lightburn software.
Spot Compressed Ultra-thin Focus Laser:
The latest 5.5W LD+FAC spot compression laser has an ultra-fine 0.08mm square laser focus, which is 2 times thinners than ordinary lasers and has a higher energy density. In the comparison of the cutting effect of wood/acrylic , the LD+FAC laser engraving traces are thinners, and the cutting penetration of the laser is stronger. Can cut through plywood in just a few passes!
New Eye Protection Design:- The laser filter cover filters 98% of the ultraviolet light to eye, You and the people around you can watch laser engraving without wearing goggles, although googles are included and recommended.
Fast Focusing Design:- S6 Pro combined fixed focus laser and sliding design . You only need to slide the laser and tighten the screw to complete the focusing.
Solid and Quick Assembly Structure Design:- The all-metal structure design makes the machine more solid, and improve the accuracy of engraving. The whole structure is designed for quick installation, it usually takes 10-20 minutes to finish installation.
The machine works well with various engraving software, such as LaserGRBL, LightBurn, Benbox, GrblController, LiteFire, supports PWM mode engraving, supports Windows/MAC system, engraving file supports JPG, PNG, DXF, SVG, G-code, NC, BMP, etc.
Large engraving area:The 410x420mm large engraving area can meet various engraving needs.There is a power switch on the machine for emergency power off.

Great Video. loved it !!
More details of the test results can be found here (coupons at the end!): hobbylasercutters.com/sculpfun-s6-pro-vs-s6/ Or check video description for more resources!
I didn't think it would be so big different between regular and pro when I ordered... but I have not tested mine yet, so maybe it's good enough for my use.
Thanks for the great and realistic video's. I'm thinking about buying a sculpfun s9 but during your video's I was wondering what kind of material it is you have underneath cutted material to avoid damaging your table/workbench/stand?

Thanks! I use regular 2mm thick mild steel plate so I can straighten the warped wood by fixing it to the plate using magnets. Stainless would be even better, but it is not magnetic.

Great video. I saw you were able to cut black acrylic, what about clear acrylic? And what is the max thickness for cutting acrylic? I'm interested in using this to make woodworking templates. Also, do you know what the upkeep is on this? How frequently do you have to replace parts and what is the cost of that?

Thanks for watching. With this machine I have cut 3 and 5mm black acrylic. The lighter color of the acrylic, the more difficult to cut. For example yellow one takes approximately twice as many passes to cut. You can't cut transparent, blue and white (it reflects all the laser light which is blue color). But you can engrave it by spraying it with a black paint first. Check the other video of the Sculpfun S6 pro review where I have engraved transparent acrylic by painting it black. The machine should laser a long time. I have only about 50 cutting hours on it (mostly on 100% power and I don't see any degradation of output power or the parts wearing out. If anything would wear out, I think it would be easy to find the replacement parts on Banggod and Aliexpress as these machines(sculpfun, Ortur, Atomstack,..) are very similar in construction.

@@JTMakesIt fantastic thanks! I actually just saw on their site that someone answered a question about cutting dark acrylic, and they say the max is 8mm, so that's good for me who would probably use 1/4" acrylic for templates.

@@petertraversone689 1/4" should also be possible to cut, but it would take even more passes. But if you haven't bought the machine yet, you should check the review of the Sculpfun S9 I have just posted. That one should be more capable to cut thicker stuff more quickly.

@@JTMakesIt I am currently working my way down the rabbit hole of your videos 😂. The S9 is the one I just watched and think I'm leaning towards since it can cut thicker material and has a finer laser. I stumbled upon this laser and then your videos and you've been a ton of help! Would you say the S9 is the best in its class? I'm looking to spend probably $300-$500 max and use it for template cutting and custom engravings/branding onto wood.

MDF is difficult to cut and the results heavily depend on the type of MDF you have. Not all MDF can be cut well.
I am a starter in the engraving laser cutting business.Would the s6 just serve me right considering my budget is a little bit constrained?

Hello, greetings from Bolivia, I have a 30W s6, I would like to engrave on stainless steel, do I need to paint it, paint it beforehand?
@JTMakesIt
Жыл бұрын
Yes make the surface black before engraving(spray paint or black marker..). And then use full power and go very slowly. S6 is a bit weak for stainless steel, but it could work. Some people also use mustard and there also exist dedicated laser spray paints for stainless but they cost a lot
Have you test a Makeblock xTool D1?

It depends on what kind of metal and what do you want to engrave on it. Anodized aluminum ia not a problem, the Pro version should be able to engrave stainless steel if you spray it black first, but I haven't tried yet

You mean „decreasing the speed by a divisor of 2 and not „factor“, which in your case would increase the speed.
