yes

There's a frame button in lightburn. No special settings.

Yes I never used the air purifier. It doesn't work anyways as you still smell the fumes. And as you said with the air filter box, It drastically reduces air flow. I'm thinking that gweike only included the air filter box as it was The only place/option to put the air compressor.

I had my camera set up for a while until I was cleaning My machine and wiped it and knocked it out of alignment for some reason. Haven't set it up since then. I don't really need it as I just use framing. Every gweike comes with air assist. Did you get a used one?

@@GuyWithAGweikeCloud oh - I just don’t have an external pump. Maybe there is a compressor inside the machine? Not sure what framing means yet but appreciate the reply!

@@shoruk if you have the latest machine then its built in. its the round object to the right of the laser head when in home position. you will need to clean it often as the fan recirculates exhaust air into the lens therefore prematurely burns out the lens by clogging it up with debris

Yes 100% with cleaner cuts and engraves. But does nothing for cut speed as it is only ~6psi. Link to amazon is in the video description if you want to get it.

Yes there are alot of paid videos out there and videos where gweike sent them the machine to review which is why i started my channel and why im doing these vids. I wish gweike paid me as i endorse so much for them and have helped so many people with their machines already. But alas, ive made exactly $0 haha and had to take the risk and buy my own machine. Thanks for checking my vids out! Owner since Jan 2022 this year so almost a year now. The newer units are actually better with the updated power supply. Whether this means the updated PSU is driving the tube harder, no one knows. So my generation 1 machine is actually weaker than the current gweikeclouds (including the OMTech Polar clone). I think there have been 3 generations now but Gweike has never advertised their updates instead have just quietly updated their machines and marketed them as the same ole gweikecloud. Best value is still the OMTech 80w. If i had the space for that i would never consider these expensive "desktop" class lasers. These are all topics i have in mind for future vids.

@@GuyWithAGweikeCloud Apreciate the response. Thanks for your insight. Very tough decision.

@@pl2996 What are some holdbacks? Perhaps I can help.

A 50w laser at 50% is still more powerful than say a 40w at 50%. I had a 10w diode laser before this, there is no way that claim is true. Even at 100% that diode would still take at least 2-3 passes on the same material that it takes my CO2 at 50% power to cut in 1 pass. Choice of power to run is up to the user ultimately. I am not making money with my laser so your statement doesn't pertain to me and my case personally. Maybe for others.
