    Does it allow you to specify the depth of the engraving? I need to engrave 0.03” not any deeper.

    I have to disagree on the D1 Pro being ranked low. I own the D1 Pro, F1, and S1. They all have their merits, but the D1 does something that my S1 cannot realistically achieve.... I can place it on any flat surface and engrave whatever I want. With that said, the F1 is still my overall favorite due to my own personal use case, but the D1 Pro is versatile... it has the room underneath for me to insert a full length baseball bat and use the rotary tool to engrave it. That wont fit on my others!

    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!

    I work with a pair of real industrial lasers, 3k and 8k watt ; C02 and fiber, respectively. Both of which cost just over a million last I checked, but were purchased 15 years apart. What's funny, is that that our new 8k fiber laser is TOO fast now, so we invested in hundreds of thousands worth of loading/unloading to keep up with it. Now we simply don't have enough business to keep it running all the time.

    I see 2-3 slight “problems”: 1.) It is slightly more difficult to figure out/see exactly where it will engrave, especially when not using the matt. 2.) The hight of materials, as well as potential waviness, seem very restricted! Many other cheaper diode lasers have auto leveling via stepper motor and height detection DURING engraving, and don’t rely on a roller in a specific location. 3.) The overall concept saves storage and transportation space, but is very limiting otherwise. Including (inexpensive) expansion kits, higher power laser modules etc. Interesting product (for specific applications)! Best wishes

  • @Candace471
    @Candace47111 күн бұрын

    I'm so confused why all the haters in the comments are trying to compare this to a co2 laser. Most diode laser companies will advertise the input wattage for marketing, and typically, they have a power output of around 10w. Rendyr is advertising their actual OUTPUT power of 12w. I think this is a very well thought out machine, not to mention manufactured and supported right here in the USA.🇺🇸

  • @StoneyMeyerhoeffer
    @StoneyMeyerhoeffer2 күн бұрын

    I wouldn't compare it to a Co2, but there are a laundry list of diode lasers out there in the 20w and 40w ranges. As you say, this may be input only and/or marketing, but XTool at least states their 40w module laser is true output. If you can point me at something that shows that the true output is lower, that is interesting. But 12w still seems low and a miss ultimately. But those other modules are physically larger and probably wouldn't fit the overall aim, which is quick setup and easy cutting. This is an intriguing machine becasue it would fit in my big suitcase and probably travel well. I'll keep it on my radar for when it gets to 20w.

    Hi there, We designed the Optic’s cutting mat to resist normal laser cutting operations in a similar way to conventional honeycomb beds. The top surface is all metal, including the folding hinges made from flexible and durable spring steel. While laser cutting will result in scoring marks, they do not impact the cutting mat’s functionality. The alignment grid is machined deeper to maintain its visibility. In addition, it's easy and quick to wipe off any residue from cutting materials.

    Laser cutting requires space for safety, exhaust, stocking material, assembly, sanding, laptop rerunning jobs... I cut 95% of the time so this is not for me. While cool, it is not solving my problems. Better exhaust, quieter operation, faster job, camera (to avoid the very problem that occured in the demo of overlapping jobs), less soot on the cut, dealing with non perfectly flat materials, auto focus are features I am in the market for.

    Hmmmm that sure is different and very expensive, ok about the cutting board, I see two open lines (the fold lines) so when cutting, if the material is over one or both of the fold lines, I guess it would cut into the felt backing? I can't really tell from the video if it has some kind of protection or not, but as it has to fold at that point, I will guess not. Thanks, and please keep making more video's.

    We appreciate your concern and can assure you that this has never been an issue with any of the hundreds of Optics in use. Dirt and other residue is not likely to accumulate where the wheel runs on the cutting mat, and additionally the bearings are sealed to prevent any degradation from dust or particles. Hopefully this helps address your concern!

Like is lasers only good on Veg tan leather and not on chrome tan leather. things like that. i have seen a lot of lasers on leather, but there a big different between Veg tan and chrome tan leather.

    I’ve used some cantilever designs before and this felt really solid. The metal mat locks into place at the bottom and helps make everything more rigid

  • @rendyrinc
    @rendyrinc10 күн бұрын

    Thanks @markferrick10! The Optic’s gantry is actually not entirely cantilevered but supported by a wheel (see 3:59 in the video) which together with the solid hinge connection ensures it’s always level, robust, and produces consistent results.
