Ultimate Laser Engraver Buying Guide + Bonus
zhlédnutí 560Před měsícem
I have been hard at work on this laser engraving buying guide. When I bought my first, second, and third laser, I never really knew if I was purchasing the right one. I often worried that the machine I bought wasn't a high enough wattage, didn't have a large enough working area, or wouldn't fit all of my needs. This struggle led me to create this buying guide to help make this process easier ...

The expensive glasses have a higher Lead content, I believe that why you had trouble Lazer engraving expensive glass
Congrats on the move. So where in North Carolina did you move? I live in Smithfield, North Carolina myself.
I’m near Nashville so only about 45 minutes away.
Congrats on the move. I saw you speak in Vegas at the APA. NC is atop my list of where to move when my daughter graduates high school. Way more comfortable than Vegas.
I loved Vegas. I honestly would have stayed for a while longer but was presented an opportunity that we thought is worth pursuing.
hi Trevor, please do a video for table leveling on the fusion pro 36..plssss
I don’t have the pro 36 but I can try doing one on my pro 48 once I’m set back up again.
Hi - I have a CO2 laser - I have always found that cutting card and paper leaves a sooty edge that can then spoil the final product. For thick corrugated card I can clean the edges easily enough with a paper towel but I can not do the same for intricately cut paper / thin card. How do you deal with this OR is it a quirk of my, Chinese import, machine? It is the one frustration I have that I have not been successful with this medium so far. Thanks, Peter
Great info!! Would you be able to share your settings?
Settings for what exactly?
Thank you so much! So far, this video has made the most sense to me. My pictures kept coming out super grainy. I'll be changing some settings here in a few!
Best of luck!
Have you made nameplates white w/black letters? Curious to know what the smallest font can be used and still be legible.
The smallest I’ve ever tried was size 8 font.
Great tips for beginners. Thank you
I’m glad that it was helpful.
How does the black acrylic mirror stay in tact after the outline is etched in
The black part isn’t mirror, that’s regular cast acrylic.
@@MakerExperiment do you decrease the power of the laser cutter to etch an outline into the black cast instead of cutting through it?
@sonyx7138 yes. I decrease the power to about 5-10% and increase the speed to about 45-50%.
@@MakerExperiment great, and what about for cutting
@sonyx7138 it depends on thickness and wattage of your machine. Slower speed and higher power would be needed. In my 60 watt Epilog I’m usually around 100% power and 10% speed.
Great stuff! I just wanted a safe vinyl to make a stencil and electro etch on metal. Thank you!
I’m glad I could help.
Bro, Why the fuck your videos are not over 100k views :/ Keep up the amazing work though
I wish I knew. Feel free to make it go viral 😂.
I'm engraving on a sheet of black/gold letherette and my end product ends up full of gold dust. I'm cleaning the leatherette with LA awesome and a microfiber towel.(Epilog FusionEdge 60watt) Do you have any suggestions?
Were you running air assist? Were you engraving from the bottom up? I’d like to know if you were in focus or out of focus as well.
@MakerExperiment I ran bottom to top, no air assist, used auto focus. Settings were 340 DPI, 65% Speed(I'm not sure if that's where the speed actually changes) and 14% Power.
Feel free to email me with a picture. Without seeing what the result is it’s hard to say. Try throwing it out of focus a little bit and using a higher DPI. I would try blowing it off before using any kind of cleaner.
Of course I have subscribed and liked , very clear and detailed information
Well it is the same for plywood ( Baltic birch)
Wouldnt it be easier to print registration marks on your substrate you are printing your art on then using your laser to see the registration amrks then cut them out? Well, assuming you have a camera on your laser
If you have a laser that has a registration mark camera then yes. If not, this is an easy way to print onto laser cut items.
Great info. Thank you for putting this together.
You’re welcome!

Hey Trevor, great job at making this guide, I'm sure it'll be invaluable to anyone who's looking into starting their laser journey.
Thank you. I appreciate it!
👍
👍
Thank you!
I decided for my second laser, my first being a CO2, to purchase the new Xtool F1 Ultra. I will ship at the end of July. excited about the conveyer system.
Best of luck! I hope it works well for you.
Hi! do you think I could do that with a diode laser? just the engraving! Thanks!
I’ve never tried but I think you can. Diode lasers don’t like clear and some other lighter transparent colors of acrylic though.
What does the texture feel like it it’s soft? Plastic or rubbery?
I’m not sure what you’re asking exactly but I’m assuming you mean the texture itself. It feels hard to the touch.
Do you do more in depth courses on how to create artwork with mirrored acrylic?
I don’t have any courses that are already made. However, I do offer coaching if that’s something you’re interested in.
Блять, как все просто
Как купить и привести в Казахстан?
Can i use diode laser for engrave mirror acrylic?
I’ve never actually tried a diode laser. It’s worth trying. I know it struggles with clear acrylic.
@@MakerExperiment but in theory it can engrave from back sir for mirror sir.?
@@MakerExperiment and i know for clear diode can't wothout medium or other things
@06_farhanhakimulfadhli82 in theory. I’ve never used a diode laser so that’s a great question for someone who has. You can always try and see what happens.
what brand of utility knife is that?
The utility knife itself is from Placed Atoms by Giaco. They don’t sell them right now.
Helpful indeed
I’m glad it was helpful.
We have a lasermark fiber. And it doesn't do a terrible job but it's not perfect. It has a hard time doing black with white , red with white. What i have noticed online with those colors is turning the power down and something about being out of focus. I could be wrong but i think someone said try adjusting the focus.
You can definitely put it out of focus to widen the beam size.
Which laser is better to embrace acrylic? CO2 or fiber laser? And which are using?
I would recommend CO2 for acrylic. I use both but I really only use CO2 for acrylic materials.
Nice, than you.
Loved this information! Very helpful. Would've liked to have some base laser settings and wattage of laser used. That's just me being needy, I'm sure.
I used a 60 watt Epilog Fusion M2 40 in this video. I don’t remember the settings off hand but every machine is going to be different. I’d suggest creating a settings grid on a piece of material.
This has been a great video. Thank you for doing this. Very informative. What settings would you suggest to start with for a 55w co2
I would use settings pretty close to what I used in the video to start with. If you’re within 10 watts of mine, you’ll probably get a pretty good result to start with.
Going to miss you buddy!
Just a phone call away man.
@MakerExperiment I know. But still going to miss you.
We live in Maryland and are planning on retiring next year to North Carolina. I will be moving my table/band/miter saws, lathe, cnc router and CO2 laser. I may very likely rent a truck and move my tools myself. The rest will be moved by a moving company. I will get a lift gate truck to do this. Let me know how it goes. We are looking for a house that will allow me to build a separate workshop/barn like building if we can't find one that already has the space.
It was hard for us to find a house that was big enough that already had a shop built while staying in our budget. Depending on what size course you’re looking for, there are definitely options that have a shop already. It sounds like you’ll also have a fun move.
@@MakerExperiment Our current house is very large. Going to downsize to about 4000 sq ft. Need to stay close top DC because our son, daughter-in-law, and 20 month old granddaughter live in DC. Otherwise I would go to Florida. I am originally from southern California and went to Vegas regularly.
@cliffs1956 nice! Depending on your budget, I’ve seen homes in the 3,000-4,000 sq foot range with a shop but they were well out of my price range. I hope you find something. What part of North Carolina?
@@MakerExperiment close to the water :)_ I have been looking in Hertford and close to the outer banks. We have friends who live in OBX, plus being close to a beach may entice out kids to come visit.
@cliffs1956 I may come visit if you do that!
Weld-on 3 is the best choice to use for professional builders. It has the quickest curing time, thinnest solvent, hardest to use tho.
Great video! Thanks! I’m gonna go clean my mirrors!
Definitely a good idea to do that regularly.
What about n acetone
I’ve never tried acetone.
You don't know what you're doing.
Love the video. How do you add the custom border? Thanks
I created it in the design software by offsetting the original logo.
Do any of these adhesives come in colors?
Everything I have seen is clear.
Thanks for the amount of depth of the testing. I am thinking of using acrylic paint. So I guess I will experiment.
Learning is all about experimenting.
Im planning on building my own acrylic aquarium which will be 7x2x2 and this helps. Is Weldon 4 the strongest/chemical bond and the best to use? Most videos I've watched for acrylic aquariums use it but I didnt know if there was a different type of glue that would be just as strong and maybe a little easier to use.
This is more of a solvent that chemically bonds and fuses the material together. It’s not just a glue. I don’t know anything about aquariums but I have seen it used for that.
Could you please share what the dimensions of the completed products are? Thanks!
This one is about 2’ wide by about 15” tall. Those are rough dimensions without looking at the design.
straight up methylene chloride is what most people in my region use.
For surface to surface bonding use uv glue that is used for glass bonding, crystal clear and you have time to push any bubbles out
