Ortur has been releasing a bunch of lasers over the last year. They just put out the Aufero Laser 2 and we run it through its paces and see how it stacks up to the other machines from Ortur as well as the competition.

    I found this review super helpful, and has convinced me this machine would be a good addition. With this laser option they sent, and applying the code, it's 369 before shipping. Is there a way to get one of the 100*100cm cheapo Ebay engravers to work? I really need a much larger working space for engraving, but the few comments I've found online is that no one can actually get them to work.

    Great review again! You're the gold standard when it comes to laser reviews on youtube. I've been on the market for a laser for quite a while now and can't seem to make up my mind, so I really appreciate these vids. I know I want a dual diode laser. My 1st choice right now is atomstack x7 as they now are promising air assist to be released for it soon. Neje was on my radar, but their setup seems very "janky" and I've heard they're overdriving their diodes way too high = shorter lifespan.

    I bought this laser, this is my fist time using a tool like this. I am struggling with the tracking of the gantry. It wants to rack on the y axis travel, causing alignment problems. I know this is a cheap entry level unit, just wondering if there is a fix for this. I have been adjusting the guide rollers and drive belts with limited success. Just wondering if you have thought of doing a video on the set up and tuning of similar style machines. Thanks for all your content.

I ask because I am interested in the Wifi capability of the X7 but no one has proven it works - and the A10 is more affordable for me if i can't control machine from WiFi.
