@BusterBeagle3D2 күн бұрын
I would suggest every time you change the filament and periodically if the filament was sitting on the machine for a long time. Even if the filament is the same brand you never know if the formula or batch is exactly the same so it's not a bad idea to run it. I only takes a minute or so and it doesn't waste that much plastic..

And I’ve only a couple of times had the print bed be to small. For goodness sake the SE doesn’t even have WiFi. WTF? And I’ve yet to get petg to print on the SE.

How can a youtuber with ''only'' 37k subscribers get a free expensive machine just for a review?...i don't get it.
@BusterBeagle3D3 күн бұрын
Not sure if this was an actual question but I have been receiving machines since well before I even had 1 or 2K subscribers. Companies saw some videos I did early on about my injection molding machine and liked them so they offered me a laser engraver for a review. I had never even used a laser engraver before I was offered one. The fact that I’m even a “KZreadr” was never a goal or intentional, it was the companies that reached out and made that a thing. xTool for instance was a very early collaboration and they have sent me at least 5 machines so far but it has generated more than $300K in direct sales and probably 3 to 4 times that in sales of people who bought but didn’t click my links. So for probably a few hundred in actual cost of the machines from the company to potentially a million dollars in sales seems like a good investment. Thanks for watching.

Hi, I am completely in love with that honeycomb-alternative bed thingy. My problem is that I do a LOT of plywood and I find that cutting plywood makes the glue leak out - which totally messes up the honeycomb. It sticks to the combs and leaves gluey dirt marks on the next work piece and a honeycomb is an utter PAIN to clean because of all those small combs. I would imagine that this thing can be easily cleaned with a brush?!? That would be SUCH a relief for me. Did that come with the machine? Is it available separate? What’s the maker? Any suggestions where I can get my hands on one? I would really really appreciate any hint on where to get this. Thanks!

It came from the IKier and you can find it on their website. When it comes to your honeycomb you can easily clean it with some degreaser from the dollar store.

Hello Ryan, how accurate is the Z on this method ? let's say if I'd like to do a cavit with 10mm deep... is it accurate I mean the Z steps ?
@BusterBeagle3D15 күн бұрын
You would have to run some tests on the material and see how many passes equal what depth. It was not something I really focused on but if you were going to attempt to reach specific depths it’s something you would really need to test out. 10mm might also be pretty deep. The issue is that the focal distance of the laser is in a certain range. So perhaps you would need to run it about 2mm with the laser at a certain height and then lower the laser head 2mm and do the next 2mm deep. That might not be the exact range you need to work with but something along those lines.

Recently, I purchased a Monport K40 Pro, but despite my efforts to set it up properly, it wasn't functioning correctly. After several attempts, I decided to contact the company to arrange a return. They instructed me to send a photo, assuring me they would then provide a UPS label. I sent the photo as requested, but after that, despite numerous follow-up emails, they suddenly ceased communication. It's been weeks now, which feels like a joke. When investing in mechanical products like this, one always expects the company to provide support, yet Monport failed to do so. I am dissatisfied with the experience. The device remains in my possession. It's important to be cautious, folks.

If you are talking about the S1 then yes even a 10W laser can do it. It’s really just removing a small layer of coating on the metal and not engraving into the metal itself. It’s no different than engraving in tumblers which I’ve even done with 5W lasers.

I just bought this for my wife for mothers day whos been wanting to start a side hustle. After seeing this video im sold. Thank you for the info. I got this video saved!
Thank you! Glad you found it helpful.
Could I have the file to the spool holder and if you have anymore 🙌🏻 I just got a klp1 230 used and am trying to do all the little mods it needs!
Dropped them here. Enjoy. drive.google.com/file/d/18V_jBV8R9S6bPU0ubAIpIKwsqd6f2s_F/view?usp=sharing
@@BusterBeagle3D thank youu🙌🏻 now I’m just trying figure out why the back of my prints arnt getting enough air flow, they keep slightly warping from not drying fast enough I think, I’m running 205 and a 60 on bed
@@user-nn2dq7of6m Just open all of the doors or better yet just remove them all together if you are using PLA primarily. You really only want it enclosed for ABS, PETG etc where you need higher temps.
Ryan, i ordered your custom stainless steel pieces a couple days ago and just received them today so, im still in the process of building this injector. i will start on the electrical tomorrow, but i just wanted to take a minute to say… thank you. so far everything is going perfectly and i want you to know that i really do appreciate what your doing, graciously sharing your knowledge.. i can not thank you enough.. im so happy right now.. best $135 ive spent in awhile.. thank you again Ryan.. your a good person.. God bless ☺️👍
Thank you Mike and I'm glad everything is going well. Don't hesitate to reach out if you hit any issues along the way.
This is very informative. I am going to buy an mk2 very soon and am watching several of these reviews. Thanks for addressing all the minutia of the machine and for including the links.
You are welcome. Thank you!
My ORTUR LM2 10A S2 came with a 10watt laser
Hi, I am completely in love with that honeycomb-alternative bed thingy. My problem is that I do a LOT of plywood and I find that cutting plywood makes the glue leak out - which totally messes up the honeycomb. It sticks to the combs and leaves gluey dirt marks on the next work piece and a honeycomb is an utter PAIN to clean because of all those small combs. I would imagine that this thing can be easily cleaned with a brush?!? That would be SUCH a relief for me. Did that come with the machine? Is it available separate? What’s the maker? Any suggestions where I can get my hands on one? I would really really appreciate any hint on where to get this. Thanks!
It came from the IKier and you can find it on their website. When it comes to your honeycomb you can easily clean it with some degreaser from the dollar store. Just put it in a tub, spray it with the degreaser, I bought mine at Dollar Tree, let it sit for a few minutes and rinse with water. It removes all of the sticky residue.
@@BusterBeagle3D well, so I have to find a tub or basin large enough for roughly 40x40 cm which my wife won’t miss if I use it to put that dirty thing in. Tough challenge.
HI I have just purchased the D1 Pro and it seems the screen is a different layout in that I can't find an option to unite items oe whatever they call it, I also feel it is very restrictive is designing things, do you have any pointers? Thanks in advance
Hi. The newest version of the software has changed around quite a few things. I have been waiting for the software to get out of it's BETA phase before updating any videos on how it works. It's still somewhat restrictive in what you can do. If you really want the most feature rich software that you can use with the machine I would recommend checking out Lightburn. I have a whole video going over how to work in Lightburn with the D1 on my channel.
those are a lot of steps to edit for one thing no? o.O
Hello Ryan, how accurate is the Z on this method ? let's say if I'd like to do a cavit with 10mm deep... is it accurate I mean the Z steps ?
You would have to run some tests on the material and see how many passes equal what depth. It was not something I really focused on but if you were going to attempt to reach specific depths it’s something you would really need to test out. 10mm might also be pretty deep. The issue is that the focal distance of the laser is in a certain range. So perhaps you would need to run it about 2mm with the laser at a certain height and then lower the laser head 2mm and do the next 2mm deep. That might not be the exact range you need to work with but something along those lines.
Recently, I purchased a Monport K40 Pro, but despite my efforts to set it up properly, it wasn't functioning correctly. After several attempts, I decided to contact the company to arrange a return. They instructed me to send a photo, assuring me they would then provide a UPS label. I sent the photo as requested, but after that, despite numerous follow-up emails, they suddenly ceased communication. It's been weeks now, which feels like a joke. When investing in mechanical products like this, one always expects the company to provide support, yet Monport failed to do so. I am dissatisfied with the experience. The device remains in my possession. It's important to be cautious, folks.
inventorssource seems to be out of all the kit parts. any chance of providing another supplier that can keep kits in stock?
Hi. I had recently chatted with the owner who had mentioned they had quite a few on hand. I just messaged them again letting them know that the kits are listed out of stock. It may just be oversight of updating the stock on the website. I’ve been guilty of it plenty of times as well. I’ll update here again when I hear back.
@@BusterBeagle3D thanks for the update, and all the work you've put into this project. I've told a bunch of makers about you at conventions I've been to over the past year.
@@WirelessDreamer Thank you. I appreciate you spreading the word!
@WirelessDreamer I just heard back. He put the frame kits back online. I heard he is out of the pneumatic cylinders but is expecting them any day now but the kits have been listed.
Thank you very much!! I recently received my S1 and have found this extremely helpful!! :)
Glad to hear it was helpful!
Thank you for your videos, all of them are really useful. I've been wondering, how did you manage to engrave the spoil grid on that metal? I have a d1pro 10w as far as i know it's not possible to engrave metal with it.
If you are talking about the S1 then yes even a 10W laser can do it. It’s really just removing a small layer of coating on the metal and not engraving into the metal itself. It’s no different than engraving in tumblers which I’ve even done with 5W lasers.
Where do I get the larger D1 Pro power supply? I didn’t think it came with the upgrade kit.
My 40W did come with an updated power brick. I'm not sure this upgrade set ever exists anymore but that was how mine came.
I am interested in the grid pattern you engraved on your S1 tray.
You can find that grid here: busterbeagle3d.etsy.com/listing/1590871717
Please could you advice which is the best for jewelry gold or silver to cut name pendant? Please appreciate your input thsnk you
Thank you, for this information. It definitely helps
Glad it was helpful!
excellent teacher i love it i learned some new features i never knew were available that i had struggled with. thank you
You're very welcome!
That was a superb review. You answered every question and then some. I love your well reasoned benefits and pitfalls. The case would be an issue for me as I work in the house. Smoke and fumes would become a real problem. I’m genuinely considering this as my second, large machine. I have the XTOOL F1 at the moment but I’ve already outgrown it with what my customers want. I like that I can switch this to a lower power whilst I adapt but I may look for a better enclosure first.
Thank you for the kind words. Glad it was helpful!
Printed a switch for my Glock, pretty cool little printer
Nice detailed review. Good work.
Thanks! 👍
I have been looking for something exactly like this as I recently purchased an S1. Thanks. Well done. I hope to see more in the future.
Thanks, will do!
Interesting. I have been looking at running a Falcon 2 with a Raspberry Pi like I do with my 3D printers but can't find anything.
It is nice to be able to run some of this stuff remotely.
Just a thought wonder if it’s if it’s possible to put some sort of suction air a bit like a vacuum cleaner but it keeps your project down on the the work Area with a powerful suction and it might help with wood Burning underneath
It’s possible. However that’s a lot more power and noise. Lifting the piece off of a flat surface and using a good air source for the air assist is typically good enough to prevent lots of charring on the part.
The drill press stand that is linked is not available for me on Amazon. Is there another that you'd recommend for this build?
Hard to keep those links current as they come and go so often but you can use any of them that look like the one I used. All are slightly different but should still work. amzn.to/4b9KuJQ
Great laser safety! LMAO
