Hi man....I enjoyed your video and i too have an A24 Pro but my laser seems to lean forward on the gantry so its not level to the material surface i.e 4mm gap under front and 6mm at back . Could you confirm that yours is the same or level please and if it is then i need to somehow adjust the steel rollers etc to level it. This was how it was out of the box etc for me...Thanks in advance

I did have a few issues with the laser head tilting slightly I didn't spend a lot of time problem solving it and shimmed it short term. I would possibly check the Atomstack groups on Facebook to see if anyone has an explanation / better solution for an actual fix. Thanks for watching!

@GeekBuildersNetАй бұрын
If you have the WeCreat air purifier, you should not smell much from your machine. It is normal to have a little smell, but not what it sounds like you are describing. WeCreat support will probably have you check all your connections and verify that your filter is not old/clogged. If everything is in order, I would recommend contacting support to see what else they can suggest

This is at least the third review I've seen between these things with no determining opinion from anyone on anything one way or the other, but as you and others have mentioned, the Xtool has more costly accessories so for that reason (and some other reason I can't think of at the moment) I'm gonna go with the Wecreate, though I'm sure they are equally fine machines. Just got hit with a home insurance bill though, so it looks like I'll have to wait until next month or so to get started. Ugh.
@GeekBuildersNet2 ай бұрын
I can try to be even a little more transparent here. My machine of choice is actually the xTool S1. It is a more comfortable machine to work with, the company has been around longer and has a more robust community… but the main reason is that the S1 is my wife’s machine of choice and she is the one that processes most of the batch orders. But here’s one more but… each machine will do the same work equally well, the bigger decision might be 20w vs 40w. Recreates 40w machine is out, my first showing of the machine will be next week.

If you take the cover off the flame sensor, there's a variable resistor inside you can turn to adjust it. And you can engrave clear acrylic. Just leave the paper on it and mirror the image.

Thank you for providing a comparison between both lasers. Every other video does not touch on batching. If I have several (5) wooden keychains laid out evenly with the WeCreat and am going to engrave a word on each of the keychains, I find that the engraving is hit or miss. The goal is to engrave a word on the wooden keychain dead center from top, bottom, and sides. After autofocus and having the correct parameters, the finished product is off. One keychain may have the word closer to the top piece of the wood, and the other may shift to one side. Maybe out of five keychains, two will be dead center. Mind you, all five keychains were laid out in the center of the tray. Is this happening with your WeCreat if you do any batching ? Also, from day one, the WiFi does not work. It will connect to my network (2.4 GHz), and the computer is on 2.4 GHz, but it continues to drop off the network within seconds. The router is only about 5 feet away, printers, computers, and Alexa are all on the same network and in the same room with the WeCreat, and they don’t drop. Are you having the same issues? Everyone demonstrating WeCreat Vision on KZfaq seems to be using a USB cable for connectivity instead of WiFi. I wonder why? Thank you.
@GeekBuildersNet4 ай бұрын
As far as the batch engraving, cameras always have a potential degree of error, unfortunately- the laser companies state that a 1/16 of an inch is an acceptable degree of error for the cameras. I don't agree, but there is not much we can do other than create jigs and files that match the jigs to better ensure placement and accuracy. As far as wifi goes. I almost never depend on it. I have had issues in the past with signals and consistency. I always connect with a wire now. Thanks for watching.
