Great video! Looks like your the first channel other than Thunder to feature this machine. Congratulations. I was just about ready to pull the trigger on another desktop laser when they announced this. This machine is now the front runner and most likely what I will purchase. You just can’t beat Thunder quality. I wonder though if it is capable of working with 30oz tumblers on a rotary. Tumblers are still very popular where I am and being able to work with larger tumblers is a must. I’d love to know your thoughts.
Thanks for the video really enjoyed it. Could you do a video of the Bolt and the PIGrip Rotary ? would like to see how it fits and what size tumblers you can do Thanks
Thankmyou for the suggestion, yes that’s coming very soon, a modified piBurn grip(shorter main rail) works great in the bolt. you will need a Twister tray that I make or buy the supports that piBurn will be coming up with. my twister tray is available now here computercreationz.online/
Cutting wood 1/4” or thicker with this laser is slow, if cutting wood products of this thickness is your main focus this laser is not for you. It’s cuts all 1/8” materials fine and does a beautiful job on engraving with unreal detail!
Is the final cutting board shown the same that is shown being lasered? I just ask because the first spoon looks like part of it didn't engrave along with the lower star. Wondering if it is just the glare of the lid or what? I have a Bolt coming in and am watching all the videos. Thanks for doing them.
Yes, at the end and pictured at the end, it's been oiled and reflects what you would deliver to the customer, the board was very dry when it was engraved. The 400mm engraving is deeper than the 700 mm engrave Different wood grain too with that type of wood.
Hey Robert, another great video. Do you know if the Bolt comes with hybrid servo motors or does it have stepper motors like epilogs? I couldn't find that information on there website.
usually stepper motors are slower than hybrid motors. not sure what the epilogue has. the nova series lasers are 1000mm/s and the Odin series thunders are 2000mm/s the Bolt is 1000mm/s as well.
@@computercreationz Actually I got those reversed the epilogs use a high speed servo, which has very little overrun allowing you to engrave at full speed, unlike stepper or hybrid stepper motors which has to slow down to stop and the faster you go the more overrun to each edge. The glass tubes also have trouble engraving at high speeds unlike the RF tube like the bolt. I know you said you could run all day at 700mms, just wondering why not 1000mms.
RF tubes have a much smaller beam spot great for engraving details, 10,000 hour lifencompared to 2000-4000 hours for co2 glass tubew, much faster than diode!, No chiller needed. Takes up less room in your work space. There are the types of co2 tubes you find in very high end lasers like Trotec or epilog.
You are simply the best, I have learned a ton from you and truly appreciate your content
Thank you for the comments, I really appreciate it!
Nice job, great tips!
Glad it was helpful!
I am eagerly anticipating the arrival of the shipment and looking forward to learning how to use it.
Thank you very much!
Congrats on your order, so far I'm really enjoying this laser.
Another great video
I appreciate that
Thanks!
Thank you for your contribution to the channel! I really appreciate it
Excellent demo! I can’t wait to see the Bolt doing your air test with the blue and white Rowmark! Hopefully you can dial the air on this unit.
there is a single needle valve that you can set for things like acrylic and 2 color plastic
Thank you so much! I’m pretty much sold now!@@computercreationz
I think you will enjoy this laser@@patriot9560
Thank you for your input. The 24-60 is on my radar as well. That dual air is hard to ignore!@@computercreationz

Yes doing 30 oz tumblers on the bolt is no problem. I’ve done several

Can you please do a video with the Thunder Bolt laser, cutting out different materials at various thickness?
Cutting wood 1/4” or thicker with this laser is slow, if cutting wood products of this thickness is your main focus this laser is not for you. It’s cuts all 1/8” materials fine and does a beautiful job on engraving with unreal detail!
@@computercreationz thank you for your honesty, knowing that the Bolt does not do 1/4" thick wood to well is a disappointment.
Is the final cutting board shown the same that is shown being lasered? I just ask because the first spoon looks like part of it didn't engrave along with the lower star.

Hey Robert - I'm using a Mac and seem to be ok with just my USB cable - have you had trouble?
You’re one of the first to connect with a Mac on the bolt so that’s good news. Some struggle with Mac connection on the nova series
Does the software give you a time estimate for how long each project should take? Thank you!
Yes bot lightburn and the controller will provide you the estimated run time

What is the advantages of rf over diodes, uv, co2
.
RF tubes have a much smaller beam spot great for engraving details, 10,000 hour lifencompared to 2000-4000 hours for co2 glass tubew, much faster than diode!, No chiller needed. Takes up less room in your work space. There are the types of co2 tubes you find in very high end lasers like Trotec or epilog.
Does it have air assist?
Yes single air assist with a needle valve on the gantry!
@@computercreationz Thanks. I was just watching the manufacture's unboxing video and saw that.
Can this laser cut plywood that is 1/4 inch or more?
I wouldn’t recommend this laser for more than 1/4” top quality plywood
Hi. Looks great. Are the holes in the honeycomb of the Bolt the same size as the holes in the Nova honeycomb plates?
Yes Im using all my same hold down pins!
@@computercreationz awesome. Thanks!
Cost
5k
Thunder site broken.
Click on Accessories and nothing.
Pricing on lenses?
they don’t have them on there site yet. the site works fine for me
@@computercreationz ok

Thanks!
thank you so much for the contribution to the channel, this helps allot.
@@computercreationz Thank you for for all that you do. You have helped me make decisions on getting the Nova 24 and the bolt.
