Nice! The review was very helpful. Thank you!
Well thank you 😁
Great review! Thanks. I’m not proficient in light burn, and not a fan of the glowforge software setup. How does the Gweike software work? Is there a charge? Lots of free projects? I’m assuming you can upload your own files… is there a charge for that storage? TFS
Thank you so much for this video. The biggest thing that stood out to me that I have heard no one else mention is the the fact that gloforge needs to be connected to the internet which can be a big flop. Thanks!
No problem 😁👍
I had tons of issues getting my cloud to connect to wifi. I actually ended up sending it back and went with the omtech version which is the same thing fkr the most part but it seems to have a few less issues
Oh really? I didn't use much of the wifi capabilities of it due to my work shop has a really weak connection. I was using it over USB with lightburn.
Great review. So does the machine come equipped with everything to make it safe to use right out of the box? I could tell if the duct work was something that was already installed in your studio or if it was connected to the machine.
Also can the copper material seen in the video be used in the laser? I need one for jewelry making.
Thanks and this did come with all the stuff to setup your own exhaust system with an inline fan. Most of the stuff you see in the video is my own shop setup that I already had in place.
So you can't engrave metal at all with this kind of laser. This will work to remove paint to from coated metals and there is also a marking spray you can use the laser over and it will harden into a hard ceramic coating.
Can you make a video about the ventilation setup for your gweike?
I just got mine in the other day! Love it so far just can’t find videos on how to set your laser height
What program are you using with it?
Can you share your cut and engrave settings (speed & power) for acrylic and wood please?
Thanks for your review! Have you tried the XTool/Makeblock Laserbox? If so, do you have any spec comparisons or recommendation toward one or the other? I'm currently torn between the two and need a professional opinion to sway me in either direction. (To give you an idea, I would be using the laser cutter/engraver for typical Etsy work with acrylics, mirrors, wood, etc. I know either machine would fit for that purpose, but I do plan to eventually grow my shop and learn how to use the machines for more purposes down the line. I'm looking for a machine I can grow with and learn more about as well as do the typical beginner stuff.) Thank you!!
So I don't any hands on time with the xTool Laserbox but I have looked into it. It looks very similar the Gweike Cloud setup the more I look at it. The Gweike Cloud does have a 50w laser over the laserbox with a 40w laser. This might not seem like much but you would be able to cut down on you cut and engraving times due to having a stronger laser or you can extend the life of the laser due to being able to run it at a lower power percentage and get the same results as the 40w laser. For the looks of it the Gweike Cloud also come with more stuff, like and air filter and ventilation setup. It also has a pass-through for larger materials. Also the Gweike looks like the cheaper option.
Here is a link to the Gweike Cloud bit.ly/GweikecloudLaserCutter
And here is a discount code to take $200 off your order "randy200"
I do want to be transparent as well seeing that if you do use my link and code I do make a small commission from you order at no extra charge to you and it helps support my work. That being said I still think this is the better option over the Lasrbox for what you are wanting to do.
But if you feel that you want to Laserbox more here is a link to that as well bit.ly/xToolLaserbox
Let me know what one you get and if you have questions feel free to ask.
Great review, are these machines sealed well enough that you can run them in the house without stinking the room up? I would vent it outside but worried about residual smoke smell lingering while using it. Thanks
With my setup you can smell it a little bit but it's not bad at all or over powering. You can use a bigger fan and it might help get 100% of the smoke outside.
Thanks for the content. Can you tell me what the max cutting area is/largest material you can get in there. Ive seen there's a tray in the back that you can put larger materials through?
Also I can't see the link to a discount! Is is still available?
I will have to look for that info when I get home but the discount code is Randy and it should save you $200
I’m looking into this laser and the omtech polar. I will be cutting leather patches. You have any opinions between the two?
So this laser can easily cut leather with not problems.
When it comes to this vs the omtech one, I think they are almost the same thing to be honest. That being said if you do get this one they ship from a warehouse in the US.
Also if you use my code and the link in my description you will save $200 on your order. This also helps support my channel 😁
If you have any other questions feel free to let me know 👍
Hey thanks for the video! where do you buy those light PUCs from? they look great! thanks in advance :)
Here is a link amzn.to/3J1AFlT
@@GomeowCreations youre a hero, thank you so much
what is the distance between the laser lens and the material? I am trying to engrave small dishes that are .6 in deep. Can the laser reach? I know that you can put up to 2in thick material, but I don't think the laser can burn things 2in away. Any info on that would be great.
The lens is adjustable but I don't think it's going to work for what you're trying to do.
@@GomeowCreations So you wouldn't know how far the laser would reach. Just trying to see if it can do anything close to Half an inch in depth.
Congratulations Gomeow is there a cost to pay for customs shipping to Italy? Thank you!!!
I believe you would have to pay customs fees
Hello, is a fliter absolutely necessary? Or does it work without it
The filter is not absolutely needed you can just vent it all outside if you like.

Actually, light burn isn't just a one time cost, that's what I was told when I bought it but I was just told there would be a charge to upgrade. Just so you know
Updates have been free but Yes upgrading it will cost you more. That being said upgrading it just allows you to use different kinds of lasers like fiber lasers. You don't have to upgrade it.
@@GomeowCreations with lightburn you buy a licence which lasts indefinatly but you only get free updates for a year. after a year you can still use the software but you don't get any updates but you can enable updates for a year for about half the licence cost.
Out of all the lasers you've tried, where does this one fit? Best? Average? We're thinking of getting one. Looked at the Glowforge, price is an issue. Also, like you mentioned, the "only online" part is a deal breaker for me, even though I need to be online for work. One more thing: Gweike has one bundle that includes the rotary attachment. Would you recommend?
What are you wanting to use the laser for? That will help me better help you with your question.
When it comes to the rotary attachment it can be very helpful but it all depends what you are doing.
@@GomeowCreations We're looking to do the typical Etsy stuff, 2D trinkets and broadening into 3D kits (miniature houses, boxes, etc). The rotary attachment would be an extra, if we were to consider that avenue. Most materials we'd use would be ply, MDF, acrylic, similar materials. We're all pretty creative (illustration, cartooning, crafting, etc), there's no shortage of ideas.
This laser sounds like a perfect fit according to that info. The rotary tools for it can come in really handy if you find something to use with them.
A CO2 laser is much faster and stronger compared to a Diode Laser along with being all contained.
Over all you will get way more done with a CO2 laser.
If you do get one be sure to let me know and save some money with my code to get $200 off. randy200 😁👍
@@GomeowCreations Thank you! I'm about to hit the button on this, hopefully won't take long to get here.
Keep me updated and let me know if you have questions for sure. You can also email me
I have had a Gweike Cloud for about 8 months. I have burned a lot of products and use only Light Burn because the included software and their Cloud software does not work. There is a trick to getting the camara calibrated and it can be very frustrating until you find the "guy" in support. The place where they fail is service, if you need parts you have to find a 3rd party in the country you live. They will not take orders for parts. My X axis stepper belt broke, I have been trying for 5 months to order one. Sales does not want to deal with it and support cannot order parts, so they push the issue to sales, and nothing happens.
Can it cut fabric or vinyl?
It can cut fabric with no problems but vinyl isn't the bust thing to cut using a laser due to the toxic smoke from it.
Does its leave nice edges after cutting acrylic? No burns or etc
No burns at all, just a nice clean edge.
It looks like light burn is 160$ also seems like everyone has problems with the cloud software.. did you
It's $160 for the full license so you can use it for all the types of laser. When it comes to the website based cloud software I really didn't have any problems using it.
One problem I did have was connecting the laser to the Internet but that wasn't due to the laser not working right it was because my wifi in my shop is very weak.
👍👍👍♥️
😁
10Xs cheaper than a Trotec and actually works!
Oh really, are those ones that much more and do they have problems?
ATTENTION! to buy this machine if you plan to use it with Lightburn. Configuring the camera with lightburn is practically impossible, not to mention the alignment. NO ONE tells you all this, but as a victim tomorrow I will make a video and let everyone know about the camera alignment problem. DO NOT BUY, just waste your money. the assistance only knows how to repeat the same phrase: Redo the alignment procedure...And this would be a "professional" laser company????!!!! God bless you.
