You'll get cleaner cuts with an air-assist nozzle. Makes a night and day difference in the browning around the cut lines. But the edges of all wood that is cut with a laser is going to be brown because you are burning the wood to cut through. There's no way around that unless you use a CNC router.

@@rogerryden1962 Thanks for the input. I understand about material waste and the annoyance of it. I looked into creating a strength/speed chart for lasers in the past. I don't know the name but it uses about 3in. sq. piece of material and burns at 0-100% speed and 0-100% strength in grids. Or at least mine was 3 in. This way I can create a little file cabinet of materials I have used and have a reference guide if I wanted to burn/engrave to a certain depth or level. Perhaps that may help you as well?

I’m really surprised that Lightburn software does remember the settings of each project when saved. On my vinyl cutter software and on my plasma cam software the software will remember the settings of each project when I save them. When I want to create a old project I just open up the project and the settings are all there. I just bought this ORTUR laser master 2 pro and have not used it yet and have not played around with the Lightburn software yet, still working on finishing up my small workshop. I love all the projects you did, I can’t wait to play around with my new laser toy. Thanks for the video.

@RoseKindred 2 жыл бұрын

I have seen DIY fume extractors with these smaller laser setups if you have access to a window. Essentially: A plastic bin or make a box that fits over the machine. Put in a vent mount. Attach a dryer or vent hose to the mount for about 2 feet. Connect an inline duct fan to the hose. A cheap one works fine, about $20 but the one I have is a variable speed for about $35. Connect another hose to the other side of the duct fan and put it out the window. You can put a block of wood in the window with a vent mount so you don't have to keep an open window. Now, this will NOT filter the fumes, but you should not be lasering vinyl or the like with this type of laser.

@elissitdesign 2 жыл бұрын

You can buy one of these and tubing. Build a box around your laser engraver with a hole for the tubing. Run the tubing out a window. www.amazon.com/TOPHORT-Inline-Variable-Controller-Ventilation/dp/B07VQZD8YJ/

Thank you. So originally they didn’t have that option. This would probably be the equivalent of the SF. If you plan to do more engravings than cutting, go with the SF. If you plan on cutting stuff out more often, go with the LF. Both are capable of doing both things, but each is better at what it’s designed for.

Chris I really appreciate your videos, you've been a huge help but I've been through the ortur nightmare. Their products are junk. In one year I went through two laser heads and three motherboards. They make you jump through multiple hoops to get replacements for something that's under warranty and they also make you pay for shipping. I needed a new motherboard and couldnt pay the shipping so had it mail through the regular mail...it made it to my house 3 weeks later and was in a plane envelope, no static bag or packing material for protection. I'm sorry but they are junk. Youd be better of getting a K40 co2.

Thanks for the info. Sorry to hear you had all of those issues. I’ll keep putting this one through the paces and see how it holds up. I see where they have had some issues in the past and seem to be trying to turn stuff around. I guess time will tell. What did you end up buying to replace it?

It would depend on what type of plastic. Some produce toxic fumes and aren’t safe for cutting with a laser. Acrylic is fine to use and will cut.

@ChrisPowellFSD 2 жыл бұрын

You shouldn’t have to turn the laser on to focus it. If you’re trying to turn on the laser on low power to set your x and y zero, there’s a setting that you have to enable to turn the fire button on.
