In this video I will take you in depth into getting started with the Creality Falcon 2 laser cutter and engraver! I will take you right from the unboxing all the way to the complete workflow of processing your first job.
Creality sent me the Falcon 2 (22W) model to test and I've been generally happy with the results so far. This is not a long term review, however, and the opinions expressed in this video are (at this point in time) more like first impressions. That being said, it seems the Falcon 2 has a respectable build quality and hardware issues shouldn't be a problem over time.
Check the video chapters if you're interested in using this machine to color stainless steel. I spent a lot of time trying to dial in the settings to get good results. I've seen a lot of other people on KZfaq gloss over these settings. I hope you find these useful!
*NOTE: In the video I had shown the honeycomb, stainless steel consumables, and rotary tool were included in the kit. THIS WAS ONLY FOR PROMOTIONAL REVIEWERS. These items and the enclosure are all needed to be purchased separately! The actual purchased product details are subject to the standard "In the Box" details provided on the official Creality website. I apologize for this misunderstanding.

To provide you with even more value for watching my video, in addition to the setup guide, I have also designed and made available a fume extractor nozzle to eliminate fumes at the source:

I also added two more upgrades. A tool organizer caddy that attaches to the Falcon 2 frame, and a material squaring tool. Both are shown in the video and they can be found here:

During the video I mention a great resource for quickly generating power and speed test cards using LaserGRBL. You can find the link to that project here, big thanks to LaserSal for creating this:

Always remember to practice proper laser safety. These lasers can seriously harm you directly (your eyes) or indirectly (your lungs and health). ALWAYS wear your safety glasses! By-products from processing certain materials can be toxic and harm you. DO NOT CUT vinyl materials like PVC or a plastic like ABS. Check this list for hazardous materials before cutting something:
