XO, Ben - Jak na to + styl
This is absolutely hitting Glowforge where it counts, in price, power, and capability. And it doesn't require a cloud service to use. Sounds like a great option if you're in the market for it, and I love having options. I'll be interested to see what you think after using it for a while. Thanks for sharing!
Still to expensive these machines needs to go sub 1500$
Nice video and review. Can't wait to see what you make with it. Mahalo for sharing! : )
Very cool video can’t wait to see what you do with it
Stunning. Wish we had one
That curved surface feature looks amazing
The Live Laugh Love signs cracked me up. It's such a stereotype! Another Great Video Ben!
Thanks for the awesome review, but I do have a question. Are the dates wrong for the PRIMEP2 coupon code? It keeps kicking back saying that it’s not valid.
The proprietary cloud based glowforge software was the deal breaker for me. Also the subscription, if i can avoid subscription based software I will (and thsts getting harder and harder these days). The fact that xtool supports lightburn is a big winner in my books. Now that i know about this laser im stuck between getting the omtech and this one now.
The curved surface feature is super interesting! I have a 100w laser at work that my boss lets me use after hours and it can do curved surfaces but not this easily! For my laser at work, I need to have some more experience with CNC that I do not have to do curves.
I look forward to see what you come up with on the laser!
If you improve your skill with writing G-code, then you can perform curved surface machining (3D contouring) on any machine tools (including lasers) capable of linear motion in three axes simultaneously. Of course, it is a lot of work to manually code complex contouring operations.
I think your going to make some pretty amazing things with the laser, maybe it can have a race with your CNC to make the Camera Jig ;)
Laser cutting and engraving changed my life..... I mean not massively, but you know, a bit. But that bit is really good. I have a very cheap and dodgy K40 that needed a LOT of fixing and make-good when it arrived so I'm keeping track of what the current offering is when it inevitably dies, and this looks good. Good price point, good range of base functions and it doesn't sound locked in (it can use lightburn..) so yeah, could be interesting..
Do you mind sharing what you create and market? Website? I'm considering this as an investment to work 30-40 hours a week. Thx!
@@CaptainQueue No I don't mind at all. It doesn't earn money for me, it along with 3d and resin printer, soldering iron stuff etc is all what I use making things, currently I'm upgrading my digital desk calendar from a 7 colour e-paper screen for calendar and lcd screen for time to also house a thermal printer for shopping lists, todo notes and stuff. One thing you need to know about CO2 laser cutters is the tube is the most expensive part and it's essentially a consumable, they have a lifespan.. Do the research on how long they last and factor that into your pricing for commercial work.
Hey Ben, not sure how shielded that exit fan is, but it might be worth dealing with it before it rains!
a glowforge gonna cost $8290....even with a lower watt laser (45w), you know what i mean?? This P2 is definitely a best option if u r looking for a CO2 machine.
BTW, I look forward to see how this machine can perform with the accessories, the passthrough feature sounds dope.
Duuudddeee am not atoll jealous!😟😲 This would change my business so so much looks amazing just wish could afford it. In my area there is no one doing this i could make killing. If u happen talk to them and they wanna send one ill happily test it from this side the pond!! Think your gonna have fun with that whacky imagination of yours!! 🏴👍👏
Does the batch processing actually work? You tried it? I saw another video where the guy showed it kind of missed its marks.
That’s got a lot of features for the price. The curved surface feature is neat but that pass-through conveyor really opens up possibilities. For many small businesses and hobbyists this would be a great plug-and-play machine.
Are you still getting people telling you the staircase won’t work and needs handrails? 🤣
What is the cost difference between the two?
I want to see it etch glass.
Nothing against you personally, but I would never trust a company that sends review units out to a user that has no expertise in their Market. I have seen other laser companies send units out to people that have never used a laser cutter.
I want one baaaaad.
epilog laser can go round tubes with an attachment. However. Epilog lasers are not cheap and isn't aimed at general consumers. More so towards "professionals" apparently. good product. crap price.
ok, so!
Ben still hits, can confirm.
How do you make a thumbnail that asks is it worth, it if you got it for free?
Because I can?
The market seems saturated with products made by small home-based units like this. Would anyone care to comment on the reality of actually making money with this technology? I am recently retired and looking for a side gig that is creative, different and modestly profitable. This purchase would be a huge financial decision for me, but I am open to future potential and will work my a55 off to succeed.
I started an Etsy business only 5 weeks ago for some part time income and with only 8 products in my store, I made 600€ profit within the first 20 days of July. That is selling in Germany alone, which is a tiny Etsy market compared to the US market. So it is definitely possible to get some traction with it. I am only using the D1 pro 10W yet, but I am eyeing the P2 already, as it is vastly superior in speed compared to my machine. The D1 will have to pay for it though :D
"SHOULD YOU BUY THE XTOOL P2 55W CO2 LASER?"----> LOL! Did you buy it?
Just another marketing video in exchange for a free laser.
Check your facts regarding Lightburn, are you 100% sure everything works with it, including both cameras, autofocus and curved surfaces...you may be surprised.
Glowforge is an overhyped, overly expensive and underpowered CO2 machine. They just have good marketing. This here machine looks like a winner for non-professional crafters. It really has several innovations not seen anywhere else.
For professionals, one can get a 100W machine for the same money, but it will require fiddling and fine-tuning.
thanks for the glorified ad i guess..
Thanks for always thinking about yourself I guess
@@WobyDesignthis is bad energy. From both of you lol
I would upload more so you can easily afford it. What ever happened to that van build. I used to really enjoy this channel
I used like it when people comment.
@@WobyDesign the negativity doesn’t help anyone especially yourself. Just dont reply or reply to all the other great comments instead of wasting your time trolling
What’s the fun in that? You get to say dumb stuff and I don’t?
@@WobyDesign there’s a reason your channel fell off. Dont take it out on me look in the mirror
@@trealin4730then why are you still here?
Come on, man, 4,599 dollars for a laser? And people thought the festool domino was expensive...
Nice for you they sent it to you for free, but I reckon most of your viewers don't have 4600 dollars for a machine...
Lasers are expensive. It's competetive to Glowforge in pricing and there's been some people coming forward about Glowforge's terrible customer service when their product breaks. It's all out of my price range but there is definitely a market for it at its price watching this video
Sure it’s expensive, but do you know how much glow forge is? Also, don’t speak for other people. If you don’t think you don’t need it, don’t buy it. But don’t group everyone else into your situation. Some people are willing to buy these lasers because they understand the value it would bring to their shops.
why do you think that comment is helpful? I found this video because I was looking for EXACTLY this kind of review. I am considering buying one of these lasers and I wanted a review of this machine. How is it that most youtuber commenters are so narcissistic that they think "this video doesn't apply to me. therefore this video doesn't apply to anyone".
@@WobyDesignJudging from your comment I expect a Glowforge is even more expensive then.
But hey: for those who can afford it: very nice machines and I am happy for them, I do not begrudge anyone, to be clear about that.
But out of curiousity: maybe you could do a poll? See if the majority has 4600 laying around to spend on a laser?
Btw, I do see the value of such a machine has, and I understand how one can add it to ones arsenal of tools. Used properly it will even earn itself back over time. But my point remains that 4600 is quite a hefty amount to spend on one tool.
@@briturner11 well, then you are lucky to have found this video and I am very happy for you that you are able to buy such a machine. (And I mean that!)
