A quick funny side note... I've had one of these for about 8 months but I really though I was ordering a 20 watt pro as a backup to my 40 watt pro. I've been watching videos on this laser and went to look at the 20 watt to sell it and realized I was sent this one.. This was a couple of days ago. I jumped in on the LaserPecker 4 premium which is a little beast itself. But now, I'll have to get this one out and see how it works vs. the LaserPecker 4.

@leffep Жыл бұрын

I used my IR module a lot now, and i do like the results, perfekt details always, but, it´s to slow for anything else than one off things. Larger pieces than small jewelry takes forever. As a complement for those occasions you do one or a few small metal pieces other than stainless, yes, anything else you do need to jack up to a fibre laser.

Galvo lasers like the xTool F1 seem to have similar lasers but are faster for some reason. Also expensive

@doen.8724 Жыл бұрын

Thank you for sharing. I find the focus arm not accurate on my IR module. It focuses too high, and therefor it is a constant fiddle job. Made myself an acrylic block to a specific height that seems to set the module correctly. But even this block needs to be put under the module just right to adjust the module height. Setting the module on it too snug or too loose, changes the color of the engraving from black to white or grey on the silver sheet I am trying out. It is a fiddle job for sure. You better have a lot of patience if your focusing arm is not set correctly. When it works, it looks great. Trying gold next... will see. Not liking the brown color so much I see on your gold sample, hope to get more of a black. The detail is amazing, though. I would agree, even with my difficulties, for the money, it is a nice addition to the other modules. If you are serious about engraving metal, though, need deep engravings, and need to do production work to make money, investing in a faster 'real' fiber laser, spending the $3000 for an entry level machine, might make more sense.

@michaelwheatley5627 8 ай бұрын

My focusing arm is inaccurate too -- about 1.25 mm off. So I spent some time figuring out the correct focusing distance and then I 3d printed a block that I could put between the material and the lens of the laser and I use that for focusing.... it works great. I have also added the Z-axis height adjuster from AlivePixelCreates to my D1 Pro which allows me to fine tune the focus easily.

Good info, BUT, at ~ 3:30 you need to take a class on the proper use of a caliper. Try to always measure the item in the Flat portion of the caliper and have the object not on edge, (not perpendicular , but parallel). The reading you got was nowhere near the widest portion of the ring's diameter. FYI feedback to help you measure better.... Just say'in....
