Dude you are such a boss. Amazing video. Super useful. I had to come back to edit this comment. This is the most objective, informative, educational and useful tutorial and review I have ever seen. If I had a company and needed to hire someone to make videos about our products it would be you. You SHOW, not TALK. Its just amazing ...this level of quality with from step 1 to step 10 is just unbelievable...every single part too during assembly. Really man of his craft.

That has got to be one of, if not the most informative and instructional videos i've ever seen on YT. As someone potentially about to buy my first laser, with this one in mind, it has convinced me to get one sooner than i expected. One question however, does the laser loose any efficiency over time, does it ever need replacing?

Been trying to watch laser engraving videos and can never make through them because I don’t understand what is happening. Watching your videos and saw it was 28 mins long I thought there was no way I was going to watch the whole video and then I did. The best video I have seen! Very helpful! I know I mostly want to do engraving but cutting would also be helpful. It seems though this can only cut plywood and I would need to cut hard wood. Do you know if that is possible or should I just plan on doing it by hand and focus on getting the SF?

@techydiy 2 жыл бұрын

It depends on the type of wood and how thick it is. The SF module can still cut easily enough anyway.

And when I turn on the UZB cable in the machine, the light bulbs start blinking periodically ( red blue ) the head does not go.. What could it be???

Amazing tutorial, what would be the (min, avg, max) stroke width for a line (cut, engrave) when created with inkscape and imported to laserGRBL for LM2 pro 10A

@techydiy 7 ай бұрын

If you mean what stroke width should you set in Inkscape then the minimum width possible as it tends to be deducted from the width / depth of the exported object. You can change the view to outline to see the shapes better ( the menu says something like outline, I don’t have access at the moment so I can’t check)

@abusam1 7 ай бұрын

@@techydiythank you, I am trying to create a wastboard grid (or any outline shape) on MDF on inkscape and then export to laserGRBL. Your tutorial is one of the few that incorporate inkscape and laser GRBL for laser cutting and engraving. and I was wondering what should be the stroke width for the horizontal and vertical lines to be engraved. another question would emerge should I just create individual lines and group them together or create a single line and use path effect (create grid), not sure which method would be efficient to be sent to LM2 pro 10A. there is also the consideration to avoid extra burn on the overlapping between the HLines and Vlines (or any other overlapping shapes outline)
