I only run my LP4 on Lightburn. LPs software is buggy as hell

I have one of these and it’s pretty slick. For some reason the anodized cards turn out better on the LP4 than on my F1. Both are great but the LP4 IR seems to turn out better for me for some reason. I got the enclosure with mine and it’s a good investment. Handy device and the software has gotten a lot better since I first got it.

LP, to me, seemed to be an innovator for home lasers when LP1 came out. I can see the "inspired" parts in other companies that followed, especially including multiple lasers in 1 unit. I think it still has a home, especially for niche work. I don't think I would use the extra attachments myself, but they do seem nice. And I agree about the cone. It seems a good idea if you need to use it for hand-held engraving, but on the desk, I would prefer the enclosure or shields like some other fibers.

I have the original LaserPecker (small cylinder looking thing) and got the adjustable stand and enclosure. It was my first laser machine and was very surprised at what it could do. LaserPecker has come a long way (and astronomically more expensive) but they were always high quality laser engravers. I'd bet there is an auto focus on that machine. Mine has autofocus and with the adjustable motorized base it will automatically adjust the height to the correct focus. I have since moved onto bigger higher powered lasers but still pull out the LaserPecker every once in a while for the nostalgia it brings me. It's still a very nice laser even now (plus it will run off a portable battery bank). Great video.

That laser has terrible image quality.

Shame Comgrow no longer offers this upgrade module for z1 owners. They never responded to inquiries on this module and now appear to be sold by a company called Sovol who responded to my inquiry with “ It is not recommended to upgrade your z1 to 20w. The installation positions of 10W and 20W are different, and the adapter cables are also different. It is not recommended to change.” Seems like a load of hog wash, too bad it’s not around anymore.

what was the line interval that you used? been trying that myself I kept on "scratching" the mirror. TIA. Been going to your video over and over to get mine working.

Great review. Do you have any other recommendations for 600x600mm that won’t break the bank?

Hey do you or would you use a small dry paint brush to brush the soot away instead of compressed air. Or do you avoid doing that especially with leather.

Hot dog! Them are some good lookin ' dog tags. Very cool 😎 Greg

New jigs or adapter jig from the f1?

How do you like it so far?

Nice!!

Thanks!

They are lined up like soldiers ready for battle! Greg

I see you have used both the ORTUR LM3 and the Atomstack A24. Which did you like better? the Ortur now has a 20W version as well.

I'm looking to invest in a laser machine for my small business. Between the Xtool S1 40W and the We Create 40, which one would you recommend for someone just starting out? I'm particularly interested in ease of use, durability, and the quality of the final output. Appreciate any insights you can share!

1: Make your enclosure from fire retardant material like laminate board made with mineral fibers 2: DON'T use powder extinguishers - the powders commonly used in cheap consumer extinguishers with ruin everything in your shop 3: get a full-size CO2 extinguisher or one for kitchens - the latter ones not only optimized for fat/oil (not our problem) but will also minimize collateral damage 4: extract your fumes but use a spark trapping device between enclosure & fan 5: A fire blanket is cheap (IKEA family shop) and can help to control the fire 6: If you can, replace your enclosure window with a camera and a monitor - you DO have to protect your camera sensor from laser exposure though! Often times an old Canon Powershot hooked up to an old Laptop is cheaper than a small certified laser window...

I just got the 30 and the 60 this week. Very nice bitt although they do not like hdpe. Lol. I'm looking forward to getting the uptouwn and the downtown jennys next.

Hello friend, two questions, I bought the same one, but I am new to this world, what power and speed did you put on it to cut the acrylic like this? And what distance do you recommend placing the laser from the acrylic product? Thank you

what bits are the numbers?

Can I input my own pattern, and use WeCreat to cut through a image ? and how?

How did he get past the motion sensors?😅

Wow that came out nice

Great video. Thanks. What settings do you use for a white tumbler?

Also, also. If a customer says they'll come back, offer to hold their purchase or ship it later. Small items are super cheap to mail. Just build in shipping costs (also build in booth costs).

Totally agree! But I tend to make my own blanks to differentiate my products. OR I modify purchased blanks (e.g. I add 1/4" magnets to one side of the bottle openers for value added).

Sure enjoy all the great information you share. I have a 40W unit on order and even though I won't be using Lightburn right away it is great to know this ahead of time. Thank you again.

Can you share a link for the generator you mentioned ?

Do you have a favorite source for your 4.5mm blank stock?

Did you happen to actually measure the box dimensions in Wecreat vs Lightburn ? Asking, as when I draw let’s say a 2 inch square….and engrave in Wecreat…it is exactly 2”…. but when I do the same in Lightburn… it is not 2” square…. more like 1.8 x 2.1 . I am assuming this is a Lightburn issue ?

Hey Dave, just had a quick question in regards to this topic. We bought an S1 from xTools and its riser base component. Smoke seems to be escaping from somewhere in the chamber, can’t pinpoint it though. I ordered a 4” inline fan and the 3D printed adapter for 4” duct hose. Any thoughts on all of that? I’m hoping I don’t have a pile of returns on my hands…thank you!

I love my F1. I bought a 3d printer to make jigs for the ra2 to hold yeti and different stanley perfectly level.

Those faux leather keychains are pretty decent sellers

Do you sell the file for the jig?

i have Z1 and wanted the 20 watt. This helps my decision. Will get it and do the things you showed. I do not need workspace more than 200x 200 so this will work out well for me

Gadsden flag is a nice touch. I'll subscribe :-)

Looks great!

Great video. When you use this laser at shows, is there an issue for ventilation? I only have a diode laser and feel it would be impossible for the majority of events..thanks..always enjoy your info and videos

I'm Curious if the IR/Fiber will engrave/mark cast iron?

I've seen it advertised that it can make 3D embossings. I'd love to see how realistic it actually is to do a job like that

I'm surprised Steve didn't already sticker a cell on the wall. lol

With the 1064 Fiber will it cut clear acrylic?

awesome video

Sorry for missing the live but as your birthday was the 22 of June mine was the 23rd lol but I'm a bit older then you for I turned 63
