Oh cool! That's a good tip, thank you!

@@sliceoflifefilmwould be so nice if you could test the the ink smudge after the curing period again..

@@janita851 by cure, do you mean it becomes waterproof?

@@LemonLimes99 thats exactly what I wonder…

Curing in this case means it becomes dry and sticks to the material. But i still wonder if it depends on the material itself how longlasting and waterproof it is. Ecosolvent is used for iron on vinyl images, so there is a way to waterproof it. But still most of flatbed printers work with uv or pigment print as far as im aware, so i wonder why they don’t use ecosolvent. I find it odd that they promote a laser with a printhead but don’t say anything about the endproduct being waterproof 🙄

that does not work.

I had the same thought and I addressed it in the video. It did seem tedious at first but after a few prints you really get used to it and start doing it on autopilot. So it's not that big of a deal, but I completely agree. A full color printing head would be great in the future. Tnx for watching!

It can be a deal breaker depending on the cost of this machine. But for entry level it is probably cheaper than buying a laser and a flatbed printer, which is good enough to start getting jobs that need printing and cutting. Then save your $ and buy a proper sized uv flatbed printer.

You are welcome!

Yes it is. It sooo useful! Thanks for watching! :)

Haha, I couldn't even if I wanted to. Tnx for watching!

Yes!! I can imagine the colored celtic designs could look very nice!

Nothing out there like what, a laser that also prints or a flatbed printer? Because flatbed printers have been a thing for a while. They're down to where you can buy one for less then $10k or even $5k.

I ordered a glass pane with a hole cut in it for the window. And then I built a simple blast door. the "glass" I slide is jut a layer of plexiglass. Look for blast doors on youtube, you'll find a lot of videos. ;)

Yay, thank you!

Oh, it does recalibrate at the top left corner after every tool or color change. No worries there.

Haha!

That's very good reasoning!

Thank you Jim. I don't know when I'll have the time to make a video, but in short - yes, it's an insulated doubleglazed window. I ordered it from the glassmaker and they cut the hole for me. So then it was easy to make a simple blast gate to close it whenever I'm not using it. I made it from wood and acrylic.

Much appreciated!

Hm. I didn't. It's just 2W I dont think it's strong enough to do anything.

That's interesting, thanks for sharing! 😉

Good tip! Tnx

I don't have this info unfortunately! Thanks for watching!

I don't think the cartridges are refillable.

hm no, sorry, not on stone. they didnt mention stone among the materials so I didn't even think to try it.

Haha, thanks! :D

The Creality Falcon 2 does it. At a much lower price too!

haha, nope this is the first time someone told me that. I'll check him out! :D

Tomato guy?

@@AlwaysCensored-xp1be tomato guy indeed!

I have heard if you cover the acrylic with something it can be engraved/cut. However you wont get as nice of results. Diode lasers work in pretty much the same frequency of light waves as humans can see, so if you can see through the material the diode's laser beam will pass right through it. If you cover the acrylic, such as painting it, the cutting will actually occur in the layer of paint but will carry through to the acrylic. The thicker the acrylic the less likely the laser will be able to completely cut through since the cut point will always originate in the paint layer. Any of that make sense?

That's a great question. I would think it would only cut the paint layer, and have the same problem when it enters acrylic, but I don't really know. I'll try to test it and let you know!

That's if you buy it with Beam air filtration system. Without it it's about 2700$. Yeah, not bad for all the features!!!

I don't think they are refillable. You can see the prices if you follow the link under the video! ;)

It's a double glazed glass window. I ordered it from the glassmaker and they cut a hole in the glass. I just made a vent door.

Sorry, I wouldn't know that!

It's neat, but it would have been a lot more impressive if it was UV cure pigment ink. It would have made for much more durable prints.

Perhaps they will offer it in the future. We'll see! Tnx for watching!

That would be awesome for sure!

I contacted Flux to hear if they were planning a white toner, and they said yes. I think they hope to do as many seperate spot colours, so you can mix an match.

Haha! I think they have holiday discounts now.

It works ok. It uses the halftone pattern to blend colors, just like any other printer I think. If you search some more you can see it on other youtube videos.

Haha, it's a metal you always need to 'overpronounce'! 🤣🤣

It should etch brass. As for the water bottles, they do sell a rotary attachment for their older models, but I think it's not compatible with Ador. They did mention that they are working on it, though.

Glad it was helpful!

Strength I guess, but I just tried 20W so I can't tell exactly.

check out the link in description to see prices. 😉

I don't have that information, sorry.

Check out the link in description. The prices are listed on their website.

Thank you, glad you understand! :D

I don't think so. They are burning paper basically. That's how they work.

My old 40W CO2 can. You need to go REALLY fast and use air assist to blow out any flame. The paper would have a scorch on the edge, but the edge is so thin it is unseen.

Check the link in description. 😉

Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it!

I don't see why not.

@@sliceoflifefilm interesting, so potentially it could be a way to easily etch pcb's and subsequently even put a solder mask (although maybe not a great one as it would get subjected to a fair amount of heat during soldering) on them and even a silkscreen.

@@xConundrumx Well maybe. I dont know if the print resolution is precise enough for pcb's. or if the ink would protect it from acid. that's something you would need to test ofc... 😉

@@sliceoflifefilm well it is eco solvent ink ... I mean you seen permanent marker used for this purpose too so ... Getting a machine just to test it is a bit much though. Will have to wait and see if someone else tests it.

Nope. That would require a much stronger laser. Only engraving.

@@sliceoflifefilm That's a shame.

Follow the link in the description.

Howdy partner!

Well, I'm one of the KZfaqrs so I guess I get to share my two cents. I never got "paid a lot" for my reviews. The deal is always to create an objective video and in return I get only the machine itself. No money is exchanged. I used their Beambox Pro laser cutter/engraver for more than 2 years now and haven't had a single problem with it EVER. In my opinion that machine is fantastic. I just got Ador a few months ago so haven't had chance to use it a lot. All I got to say about it is in the video. The only product of theirs I know about apart from laser cutters was the Delta FDM printer. Never tried it and can't speak of its quality. I never heard about their resin printer, does it even exist?

Thanks a lot! 😉

I'm new the the vinyl sticker and t-shirt hobby but, if I'm understanding what you are wanting to do, maybe I can make a suggestion. I believe most vinyl cutters these days have a "Print and Cut" feature. You print your image from their software and it will also print registration marks. Put the material in the cutter and it will read the registrations marks and cut out the printed image. I have a Silhouette Cameo 4 that has this feature. There is also types of vinyl that a printed image can be transferred to using sublimation and a heat press. I have bought a roll of this but haven't opened the box yet so I can't tell you much about it. I'm fairly sure they have this for both t-shirts and stickers. So print the image on the vinyl with an inkjet printer with sublimation ink, and then cut the vinyl in the cutter. This is basic stuff so if you have done much with vinyl you likely already know all this. *9

Oh wow that's amazing, I had no idea thank you!! That sounds like exactly what I was getting confused about and trying to think why there wasn't a machine with a print arm and a cut arm, to avoid the alignment faff - But that sounds perfect thank you so much. I've only played with my girlfriends cricut joy for a couple of hours, but really saw the potential given a better machine & I'm infatuated with the idea of being able to make decals. I'm currently up to my ears in the laser cutting world, but think adding a vinyl to my laser machines would be great. Think I might have a look at a silhoutte! Would you recommend the cameo 4, or is there anything else you'd say in a similar range to check out? Also an aside, sorry to bombard - what printer would you recommend for nice vinyl printing? @@unclerichard6729

This won’t quite be the solution for you. Vinyl should never be cut in a laser because it produces Chlorine gas, the C in PVC.

@@ianjohnson8419 no no sorry, not saying I will cut vinyl with my laser - just that that’s what’s given me the make it yourself bug!
