- This little laser engraver really blew me away with its ability cut or engrave everything I put in front of it.

Note: Clear acrylic is much more difficult to cut since it does not absorb light very well. Also, acrylic will continue to off-gas after cutting, and should be left outside overnight after cutting.

That intro deserves an Emmy
Thanks! I want to do more into skits. Looking back, this one was a bit long. I think I should stick to ~30 seconds, to strike a balance between entertainment and getting to the point.
Wow ! I have been looking through dozens of laser cutting/engraving videos and your video has opened my eyes ! The moment you talked about and cut the fiberglass you blew my mind ! 🤯 It didn't occur to me how useful it would be to cut fiberglass and carbon fiber ! Really good intro with really good content, fantastic video ! 👌
Just don't breathe it!
The quality of the narration has improved a lot. Thanks!

I've almost made it to lvl 2!
Brilliant video again, dude👍
¿Me puede decir cuál es la tuerca excéntrica y si hay que apretarla con fuerza?
Hello, can you please tell me if this laser can also engrave stainless steel bracelets?😊
What speed and power settings did you use for engraving metal?
50-100 mm/min
100% power
Great video mate, I have this laser too and I’m loving it, I have made some lovely coasters with it,, you might want to look out for my next video coming tomorrow and Thursday I will show and do a review on the glasses I use. What settings did you use for the metal engraving, im yet to try that.
Glad you liked it! Remind me tomorrow when it's live and I'll take a look!
For the metal, I used the same settings as stone, which I think was 1cm/s (600mm/min on lightburn) at 100% power. I may have lowered it to 100mm/min. Just experiment a bit, you don't have to worry about accidentally cutting through steel the same way you might with wood.
Hey, I've been looking for another laser that can cut out large wooden parts, maybe 2x2 feet and 1/4" plywood sheet. Do you know if anything that fits the bill?
@@NathanBuildsRobots Hi mate, the video will be uploaded tomorrow at 7pm UK time.
awesome thats for the metal settings info ill give that ago, engraving metal is the one thing i have not tried yet.. ill reply to your other message now too, i have a couple of engraver ideas that would suit you.👍
Hi do you guys use light burn? If so what origin do you use for this laser? Just brought one recently too and I’m struggling a bit 😩
@@Kayla-jk7mm on lightburn leave the origin as bottom left, which was the default setting when I as setting mine up.
The trick is, if you can read the "atomstack" logo that is visible from above, and it is in the correct orientation, then it is right-side-up and should reflect what is on your screen.
Man I’ve had this laser since it was debuted back in October and trying to get the customer service for proper coordinates and also getting the laser to cut has been a nightmare. Maybe someone here could lend a hand pretty please!!!
It cuts lightplywood up to 5mm thick in my experience. 100mm/s, 100%, 1 pass per mm
Hi, great video. mabe you can help me. i also have this laser but the grbl settings are wrong.
can you send me a backupfile from your configuration ?
thanks a lot
I would try reaching out to AtomStack, I'm not sure how to get those settings. I know its a 200mmx200mm but thats about it
Hi. I would like to engrave on a black (sublimation) aluminum alloy business card (less that 1mm thickness). What type of laser head from ATOMSTACK should I choose? ATOMSTACK P7 40W Laser or ATOMSTACK P7 30W Laser Engraver? Can you recommend the right laser power or even the right brand for me for that purpose? And what is the significant difference between a 30W and a 40W laser module?
The way most Laser Engraver companies name things is quite misleading.
40W systems typically have a 5W laser diode (typically cost $250+)
50W systems typically have 10W diode (typically cost $400+)
60W systems are typically 20W, (typically cost $900+)
You have to dig through the technical specs to find the actual laser diode's output. Most common are 5W or 10W.
I would reccomend getting a 5W if you plan on doing mostly metal, as it will be more capable. I reviewed one recently, the "munbyn ilem-gr", that had a 10W diode.
You can also consider a fiber laser. They cost more, and have a smaller build area, but I think they have a more cocentrated dot, and are better at engraving metal.
If I were you, I'd get a laser with a 5W diode on Amazon, try it out, and return it for a 10W laser if its not enough power.
@@NathanBuildsRobots Thank you. That was a super fast response. Stay safe.
can atomstack engraved lilte bit of depth on metal/stainless? i wanna do stamping plate for nail
It just marks the surface. I doubt it would leave an impression except on a casting
I just went to the Lightburn website and it looks like there are two different versions of the software. Which one do I need for this engraver? Thanks.
This one:
lightburnsoftware.com/pages/trial-version-try-before-you-buy
They make a 2nd product that is kind of like a controll box for industrial laser engravers. You just want the plain software
@@NathanBuildsRobots Hi lightburn verison license keys are for different 6 different hardware sets, which one did you use?
Can it etch fabric without cutting through it?
I bet it could. It is very easy to change the intensity of the laser and it is quite controllable.
How do I use it Nathan lmao. I need to find a tutorial somewhere.
Step 1, download light burn. Step 2 hop on discord

Is $120 worth the cost of working offline, or is there a better option. I may or may not get wifi in my workshop this year.
@@deetea7016I just leave a laptop plugged into it. Lightburn can be run offline (no internet connection required)
