Based on the speed of this laser it will be 2-3 times faster that other desktop brands. It will have a rotary. The Rf tube has a 10,000 hrs of life compared to 2000 hrs of operation con a glass tube.
Glowforge who??? This is a Mobile businesses dream machine. RF tube has the long life, no chiller, no breakable tube, super fast speeds. Holy crap, it could pay for itself in 1 event, going to a state fair.
I thought exactly the same thing!
Needs more watts
Lol, I understand, but they need to stay competitive in price.
Wow I am super excited about this! I’ve always wanted a Thunder but has been out of my budget. I need a new machine because I’m always nervous my Glowforge is going to go out on me. I believe I have, it’s a 45watt Glowforge, it was like the Glowforge Plus from 2018 that they discontinued. I just really want to know how much faster this would be, because that’s a major problem with the Glowforge. I also want to know more details about how you could engrave a tumbler, will it have a rotary accessory? What is the size limit on the circumference of the tumbler you could engrave because I have a specific tumbler I’d love to do! I absolutely love that this could fit in my studio!
this laser looks incredible and if thunder is making it I’m sure it will be rock solid. I can’t wait to get ahold of it and start testing it out. I’m excited for everyone that is looking for a laser in this price range. just in time for the Hollidays. thanks for the comment and watching
@@computercreationz What is the price range?

Can you tell me about your exhaust system in the background? Is that 2 fans hooked together? What models? Perhaps a video in how that was hooked up? Thank you!
That is an 8” affinity inline fan from Amazon. Works great to extract all the fumes on my 35-100 watt co2 laser
Any Pass-through for larger items or surfaces?
No pass through on this laser
Hello! What is the release date? I can’t find this information anywhere
Next couple of months from what I’m told
Hello! Does this need to exhaust to the outside?
Yes it must be exhausted unless you put a filter on it. But I have no knowledge on this.
Any information what frequency its operating on?
1-25 default is 20. you pick the setting in lightburn
Will the Bolt be compatible with Lightburn software?
Yes it has the latest Ruida controller so it will operate on lightburn.
Rotary attachment support?
Yes a Rotoboss will be available for 600
@@computercreationz. Have you used a PiBurn with it yet?
@@lisabland6956 I don’t have the laser yet and I doubt my pi will fit. It may be too long and too heigh to work.
When will this be available for purchase?
Septemberish
Any idea how loud it is when operating? I think other desktops are about 70db
I just measured it this morning 61 db
@@computercreationz thank you!! What about when it isn’t actively engraving but still “on” (for example if I am just near by working on designs) ? :) any idea?
That is when it’s engraving@@vickilyub
@@computercreationz thank you! Does it make noise when it isn’t engraving but is “on”?
There are fans that keep the rf tube cool burn there are pretty quiet! I hardly know when they are running. When engraving they run faster to provide more cooling@@vickilyub
