Great comparison video. It's worth mentioning, from what I've read in the LP4 Launch group, is that the 3rd axis will not work in trolly mode with the LP4

@TheReformationWoodshop Жыл бұрын

Absolutely, the LP4 is too large for that. Would be funny to watch honestly lol

@LetsDIYIt Жыл бұрын

@@TheReformationWoodshop yeah, the weight of the LP4 was stated to be the reason. Just didn't want someone deciding on both that may have researched and seen trolly mode to be disappointed after the fact. Doesn't take away from your excellent video though. Thank you for making it

@dedestro Жыл бұрын

Thanks for bringing this up. When he mentioned that it worked I already was searching up how to buy one to go with my lp4 specifically for trolley mode.

I'm looking for a laser in the price range to cut out toolbox foam. It's hard to find one with a build volume the size of a toolbox drawer, so I was thinking this may be a good option to just move it around and do a section at a time. Since the laser source is fixed in the center, how noticeable is the angle on the outside cuts?

@TheReformationWoodshop 9 ай бұрын

If you do that max size cuts, I think the angle of cut would be too noticeable. I have heard of folks using the XTool for foam cutting and you might find one in the price range.

@kjoscrappinmama 10 ай бұрын

Question with these machines, is there no exhaust necessary! I've been going between diode or CO2 laser, and it seems like venting is so important! Would the LP4 cut ornaments and such out of wood and do intricate cuts?

@TheReformationWoodshop 10 ай бұрын

Exhaust is definitely important. I vent out my window anytime I cut. They can cut ornaments but I suggest taking the leap and getting something bigger like this (www.xtool.com/products/portable-diode-laserbox-d1-for-laser-engraving-laser-cutting-b?ref=clSNUlHMSPHtmu&)

In Canada, the LP2 is as cheap as $1100 after tax from Amazon. It's been on sale several times in the past 6 months. The LP4 was about $2300 after shipping which is literally double the price. Not sure if the LP4 is worth the price difference. I haven't received my LP4 yet but hoping it is worth it.

Curious question... I'm looking at their site and I don't see the Laserpecker 4 anywhere... I see they have a pretty cool looking LX1 Max on pre-order... but the L2 is the latest in their line it seems unless I'm looking in the wrong place? ...actually I redact that... Just saw your link... it's a Kickstarter link... so is this thing actually in production yet? Is this the same company as the one I'm seeing selling that LX1 Max? It also seems to have the dual laser and also appears to support a larger area (a larger price at $2,700 USD for all machine plus all the accessories.)

@TheReformationWoodshop Жыл бұрын

Yes it’s the same company and yes the laser is in production and currently being shipped. I’m in the LaserPecker group on Facebook and many folks have posted their packages being delivered.

@TheFeaz Жыл бұрын

@@TheReformationWoodshop So what your thoughts about the LX1 Max vs the LP 4? It seems that the former, while a bit more pricey, actually scales better to overcome the limitations that the LP 4 has since it can't fully utilize the mobile platform on the L2.

@b3owu1f 6 ай бұрын

How durable.. is this setup? Will the 4 last for years? Or are these things expensive bookends that will only work for a few hours or so? Also.. can you use it to laser engrave paper? In particular coffee bean bags?

Yes to paper and coffee bags. I’ve done that before. And no to the bookends… they’re extremely well made 👍🏻

Купил я себе такой лазер. Думал, буду в восторге. По металлу слабенький. Прожигает очень не глубоко. За те же деньги. Райкус. Работает в 100 раз быстрей. Принесли мне гравировать жетоны. Там всего лишь 2 слова потратил 3 часа. На райкусе это можно было сделать. За 15 минут. Но самое интересное, что ценники у них одинаковые. Очень жаль потраченных денег. Лазер очень медленный, очень медленный, если вы работаете по материалам, по металлу хотите глубокую гравировку. Он её не сделает. 2 вата для этого недостаточно. Этот лазер не умеет делать полировку металла после нанесения гравировки. Короче, очень дорогая игрушка. Не рекомендую тратить ребята. Для дома, для бытовых вещей его хватит. Ну, покупать за 200000 вещь для дома раз в 100 лет что-то отгравировать, по-моему, очень дорого. На видео блогеры вас обманывают. Скорость печати на видео. Ускорено раз в 50-60. В реале он очень медленно печатает. Картинка 20 на 40 см. Будет печататься часа 1, 5.
