Such a nice comment, thank you! It's really nice to know my efforts are worthwhile. I really appreciate it!!

Thank you Ron!!!!

Thank you, jharper, for letting me know. It's nice to know the review was helpful!

Oh no! I'm so sorry you are having this problem. As just one of the over 70 different KZfaq content creators they sent machines to, I don't have a way to contact them other than their online support page, but I will try to help. Did they send you any documentation for how to install the new unit? Here is my email: greylightmay@gmail.com As I said in my video, I'm not a techie, but I can act as a second pair of eyes. Let's take this conversation to email, and see if we can get your machine up and running! Update: I just sent an email to support asking for information and the replacement module they sent you so I have something to work with. Hopefully they will be responsive!

@@GreylightMay thank you for the reply, No-absolutely nothing in writing came with the replacement Laser unit module...it was beautifully packed but no instructions. Studying the machine, I see where the angle bracket which was in the box is mounted in the far left of the Rail which holds the Laser Module. That piece had no part in the removal of the laser...so didn't think it was a part in the laser install. My install of the laser had the plug-in/play connection which runs with the length of the rail as the laser moves-doing it's job. That cable [that's what I call it, but it is not identified in any of the manual's info] was originally secured by some heavy duty black tape like band aid tape, which I had to remove when taking out the original defective laser unit. Now that connection has to be plugged back into the new Laser Module, I don't know that its as it should be, I got no direction [though I have reached out to the team for help-just no reply yet]. Has anyone gotten a break through in resolving the problems I am having? The thus far, as I have installed it, laser won't even project a red beam. HELP! If anyone can give me assistance, I want this WeCreat unit [which I purchased 2/10/24 and has yet to be able to make a project like I see everyone else is doing-so envious!]

Colorado, I think if I were in your position I would tell them you want to return the laser cutter for a full refund. Maybe that will get their attention and you will get the support you need. If not, you will have your money back and you can choose whether or not you want to order another one. I have just checked my email, and they have not responded to me yet. Getting support from China is very problematic, as you said, for time zone reasons - always day long delays. Could you send the link to what they have posted about how to remove the laser module? I haven't been able to locate that. My understanding is that you did that in reverse and it doesn't work. Perhaps the problem is more than just the module itself, which is why returning it may be the right answer. You should not be expected to be able to repair your machine!

Hi Colorado! I got a response back from WeCret with the link to "how to replace the laser module" support.wecreat.com/hc/en-us/articles/9124065920015-How-to-Replace-the-Laser-Module I think this is what you did to remove yours, and you did these steps in reverse to put the new one in? And not even the red laser pointer works? They say they are planning to make a video, but no promise of when that might be.

Wow, Tara, thank you! I put a lot of time into it, and I really appreciate you letting me know it was helpful. That means a lot!!

Thanks, ScreemBean! Have you seen my prior dice video: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/Z7N-psqAldeuf4U.html The process should be the same, the experiments would be around materials and masking. I did engrave these through masking paper, to make them easy to paint. I will have to test if that works on the diode. That is a great project idea, because dice engraving is a popular topic and the diode laser is a great fit if I find a good solution for the wavelength issue!

@@GreylightMay Yes!! it's the first video of yours I watched. I was looking to see if i could engrave dice myself for my small business (after a manufacturer did a poor job) and at the time I could find plenty of tutorials about engraving wooden dice, but I prefer acrylic - I was very happy to find your channel!

I'm making a note to look for leftover blanks in my supply cabinet, and I'll put dice on my project list. It may take a couple months, but I will definitely run some tests and share the results!

Thank you! It took quite a bit of time to put this together, but I learned a lot, and I always enjoy that. I'm really looking forward to doing projects on the Vision, because it is a much more accessible machine than my 80w CO2. I feel like this product category can really expand the laser cutting community, which is a good thing. It is such a fun hobby!

My understanding is you do not need to be connected but I didn't test that because I was always online. There is support for everything through their website but they are in China, so I am not sure how fast their response is. Thanks for the comment, I'm glad this was useful!

Ramona, my understanding is that it should have no problem with white fabric, especially if it has a matte finish. White wood, for example, works fine. It seems to be acrylic that is the real problem for the blue laser. A reflective material sometimes interferes with the autofocus, I hear, so a shiny white fabric might have some issues there. I myself haven't tested fabric on this laser yet, but I've been impressed with how clean the cuts are, with little to no smoke marks. That would be important for patches. I would send an email to the WeCreat support address to ask this question specifically. I'm sure they've tested most materials.
