The evolution of diode lasers- WeCreat Vision 20 watt laser engraver
Vložit
- čas přidán 20. 08. 2024
- In the past couple of years, I have seen many innovations to the laser industry since I started. This latest machine is an affordable option that does not require assembly or upgrades. All you need comes in one box. Although the work area of 16x11 inches may not suit every application, it has lots of potential for projects. The 20 watt output of the module also allows for versatility in cutting and the speed for engraving. The software works well with the machine and can accomplish some pretty good work.
For templates that I have made, check out my Etsy shop. I build files for projects and tools for laser engravers.

I can see this as the ideal laser for schools, even younger kids classes than any other I have seen.
It is loaded with tech and features. I like it even with the small work area.... surprised..
Hey Clack! This was an outstanding walkthrough of what it is like to use this machine in real world application. Thank you so much! I had just put an order in for this a few days ago and I’m brand new to laser engraving/cutting. This will be my first one. Despite a few limitations like framing (which should get solved with software), it seems like it’s a great all in one package.
For the work area size, it isn't bad. It does have all the needed parts.
@@TheClackShack thanks!
I just need to say that I LOVE your honesty. Every other famous person in CZcams will be promoting the lasers that they get more profit with. I don’t think that’s your case.
Thank you.
I can guarantee, I am honest in my statements. My reputation is worth more than a little money
I can see that!
I can see that!
I saw a different reveiw, had the same issue with camera. The tech folks told himto recalibrate the camera, fixed the problem.
I will have to find the calibration but will do so before my next video.
Thanks for the review, really like this machine. Nice and compact design. Like the lifting mechanism and the fact that it's got everything in the enclosure.
It is a nice package, all the luxury of a larger machine in a smaller box. Thanks..
Very nice. I might consider one for taking to craft shows. I would like to see a larger work area (at least comparable to GloForge). Thanks for the review!
That would be cool!
Great infor video new at laser stuff. Actually ordered mine in the early bird deal like a few months ago still hadn't got it the looking forward to get started.
It is fun but addictive... enjoy
Fume extraction is nice. Quaint little laser. Purchased my 32" x 18" NEJE S2 Master about 3 years ago, and am just getting around to fire it up for the first time. Had medical issue that set me back in my quest to set up a laser and carving CNC. My carving CNC will have 72"X axis, 96"Y axis, 10" Z axis cut/carve area. Will have to get in touch when everything is running. May have to use you for wood purchases. I am not physically able to process trees like you. I do live nearby in Clanton, not far from you. I do know G code and CMM programming since I am a retired test engineer. I have Lightburn and Carveco Maker Plus, in addition I use Inkscape for additional image manipulation. Keep up the good work.
Wow, that is a large CNC. Nice.. Unfortunately, I am limited currently due to some back issues..
@@TheClackShack Sorry to learn about your back, I had to adapt to my back issue. Not a fun experience. Best of luck to you. Be well as possible.
Like you. I bought the same lazer engraver. Fixing to start playing with it. I dont now anything. It amazed me at how much improvement in the new lazer there is now. Hope all works out for u.
Thanks.. I am working to get it better@@ElysianDreams
Enjoy@@jtsokiehobbyandadventures6666
First: thanks for showing the rotary function. Second: have the AI prompt say something like "a bear on a white background" and now you don't need to remove the background! =)
Glad it helps... Thanks
Great video mate
Look similar to lasermatic mk2 by roly automation
Fantastic review 🎉
It has some of the same design ideas for sure.
Thanks for the review! Man, the built-in air assist, the built-in rotary, the 600mm speed and the auto-lifting are all excellent features that made me want to pre-order this machine. That's until you showed the disparity between the image placement and the engraving. I know you see it as "very close", BUT for me, that distance is too much... That's a very big concern on my end. Anything with frame and border on square material like coasters for example, is going to be a pain to keep the design centered. I went through a nightmare with the xTool M1; The alignment on that machine is AWFUL! Bought a D1 so maybe I could get better alignment through Lightburn (which I'm in early learning process). So, I was about to rush and replace my M1 with the Vision. Well, thanks for making hit the pause on this 🙂. I'll wait to see if they improve on the alignment cause all the other features are worth nothing if I'm going to lose a bunch of materials
I feel that the software will get an upgrade soon. The camera seems to be good quality, it just needs a little better accuracy
I saw in another video where the reviewer was having the same issue. He reached out to the company and there is a way to fix it. He did a walk through on how. I’m looking to buy my first laser machine. I really like this one. I was hoping to like the Xtool S1, but I don’t know.
Great Review.
Thanks
Clack getting all the toys.
I enjoy it too..lol
Yeah, and he likes to tell me that I get all the toys......
You do....lol..@@Vintauri
I was interested in this machine.... but then started to look at their stock product photos they used to show what their machine can do. Under the ceramic section, all the photos are nothing the laser can do. Those are all done pre-glaze, you can see the rounded edges of the white glaze on the jar. Lasers give sharp square edges, but all the products shown have rounded 'pillow' edges you get from hours of molten glaze in a kiln, best seen when the light reflects on those rounded edges. No laser can do what they are showing in those stock photos for ceramics and implying it can do that. I guess if they want to put up 4 lies there.... then what else is faked? I appreciate the review and sure there are plenty of things good with this machine, but my red flags fly when their page makes a lot of bold claims of their machine, yet they resort to doing that. Love all the work you do Clack and have always found great inspiration from you and your works.
Though this one does feel like a clone of another highly engineered enclosed machine that happens to be releasing and shipping a the same time...
I will say that I have had rounded results on coated ceramic with other lasers. I can’t say the photos are fake but I can test…
I'm trying to figure out how to cut 1/4" MDF. Nothing I do achieves this. Can you help?
MDF can be very stubborn, multiple passes.
@@TheClackShack I've done 3 passes. I'll try more. Thanks for your response. Your videos have been very helpful with all the other things I've done.
I’ve been hoping you would get this machine to show us. Question, you were showing us camera slightly off. Does the software allow adjustment like Lightburn does. And I’m assuming not compatible with Lightburn. And I agree, that button would be a pain.
I haven't found an adjustment yet but they have been open to software changes so far. I have been discussing some tweaks I would like to see. Also, they say it is lightburn compatible but I can't confirm yet. I am gonna try in the next few days.
Their web site does mention Lightburn compatibility but gives no details at this time.
I see that you have an exhaust hose set up, is that the $600 fume extractor? Is the machine quiet enough to use in the house instead of garage?
It is fairly quiet, I just ran a hose out from it. Worked good for me.
Can you help me out, i just got the wecreat machine, and I can't get it to do anything like I got it up but nothing I load engraves right, either too light or too dark, nothing is defined in the final engraving.
Speed and power tests are key. Test each material for best settings
Can I input my own pattern, and use WeCreat to cut through a image ? and how?
You can design it and import the file. File design is a complex but versatile process.
Hi clack at this price point, are there other laser cutters you would consider ?
This machine to me, is specific to certain people that need an all in one.
Is there already a fan to extract the fumes, or is this something we should add?
It has a fan built in. Really no need to add anything
Could you please tell me how big the working areas of this machine and how much
It’s about 12x17, link to product in the description
It’s not because it has orange Acrylic, that it is laser rated and safe to use. Does it have a certificate with the OD mentioned ?
I am aware of Optical density, I did not mention the OD rating because I cannot confirm it. The glass is ORANGE as I stated. As with all other machines that I have used, none of the orange, red or green panels come with a certificate. If you would like more information, their website is here.. wecreat.com/
@@TheClackShack Thanks
They say it engraves Food, can gou show that capability? Please
I would say that it can, pretty much any organic material would be affected by the laser. I may play with the idea.
How does a guy go about testing lasers,I've always wanted to do this I'm a hard working guy who loves to learn an see new things an can put the work in if the company is willing to help out aswell let me know
They email me and ask for me to do it.
@@TheClackShack I really would love to do that
Have so many ideas creations just need ansinal lol to do so
Wanna try the wecreat lookx killer
Does the Vision 20 have a pass through opening?
I doesn't, the workpiece size is limited to the bed.
That’s a bummer. Still a innovative feature rich machine. Maybe we’ll see a pass through in the Vision Pro??
Can you calibrate the camera? Add some offset? Looks like it fires 2mm high.
@@fredboyles8159 currently, it doesnt have an adjustment. I am sure it will come with an update.
@@fredboyles8159 possibly
They can reach out to me lol
Maybe they will..
