Glad you like it. It’s pretty cool.

I suppose it's possible. It wouldn't really be the 3D function but a lot of testing on finding the correct power and speed to achieve what you want to do. Again not something I have tried but I don't see why not.

DOES NOT CUT PAPER/WOOD.... PERIOD....

I have some blanks molds coming so I hope to be able to try it out soon.

You can get fiber lasers that are 20W that would be cheaper then something like this. You can also get regular diode lasers with IR laser add on module if you wanted to do other types of objects. However those are not even close to the power and if working with metal and speed are important to you I would go with a 20W fiber. You could also go with something like the xTool F1, I did a video on it on my channel but again if metal is what you want I would go fiber.

@@BusterBeagle3D awesome thank you.

I have never measured it but I can assure you it gets items hot depending on the process you are doing. I have certainly gone in to pick up an item that had finished engraving too early and burned myself.

While I have a video on Lightburn it is more for Diode Lasers. This is a fiber laser and I would highly recommend checking out the Laser Everything Channel for lots of videos going over using fiber lasers with Lightburn.

I have never used the 30W ComMarker so I can't exactly compare the 2 exactly but just personally I do like the single unit form factor over the split tower just from a space saving perspective.

I don’t see why not.

I vent it outdoors. I probably should go through a filter before it goes outdoors though.

I believe so. It's something I know a lot of people do with fiber lasers.

@@BusterBeagle3D Thanks, I'll look into it further.

See my comment on your other question but if you want to do consistent colors on stainless I would go with a MOPA fiber laser.

Hi. It's a process where I have an 3D model STL file that I then convert into a height map online. I then use that heightmap in Ligthburn as a 3D sliced image in the image mode under Tools>Adjust Image. That will essentially "slice" the image similar to the way as 3D print is sliced, layer by layer. There are a few videos online about using the 3D slicer function in Lightburn on KZfaq if you just search for it.

@@BusterBeagle3D thank you for the explanation

I suppose you could but it only takes a second or two to adjust the height so it's pretty easy. Keep it simple :)

@@BusterBeagle3D thats what i thought at start :-)

Lol

No. Not eye safe however there are enclosures that other companies sell for this type of machine that would make it safe for a maker space. I may look at reviewing one of those in the future.

Hi good morning sir. I have 50W Fiber Laser Marking machine with 220mm lens. Will you share me different metal engraving parameters? Like speed power frequency.

It's true that the laser power doesn't change but the intensity does at the smaller lens sizes. For the sheer fact that the laser would now be 100mm closer to the workpiece and the pulses now much closer together. The difference would be on aluminum for instance engraving at 550mm/sec at 100% power on the 200mm lens vs 1000mm/sec at 80% power on the 110mm lens.

@@BusterBeagle3D The difference between the lenses is the size of the focal area, isn't it? The distance doesn't matter that much as long as the laser is properly focused, the absorption rate of air is very low.

@@joergsonnenberger6836 There's a weird relationship between power and work area. No laser is perfectly collimated and infinitely narrow, so wider lenses increase the spot size and spread the energy out more on the periphery leading to reduced temperatures but over a larger area

The angle the laser hits the work causes variarions of temperature at the work piece. Much like the angle of the sunlight hitting your area causes the seaaons to change from warm to cold

Laser intensity is correlated to work area, which is roughly the same as localized laser power.
