- In this video I review banana's.......... no just kidding, I'm reviewing the DAJA DJ6 Laser Engraver. Is it worth the money? Does it even work? Or is this just another piece of tech junk that will accumulate in the scrap pile of dumb.. I mean.. doom!
Spoiler alert, I was actually pretty impressed with this little unit, it was well worth the money in my opinion. So hey, you can purchase your own here (although fair warning, it did say there were only 11 left in stock). I've been burning pretty much non stop since I got mine. It really is great fun!

Get some blank wood slices to practice on before you start engraving!

I got this model last week, quite like it in general and am happy with the money spent. For me it worked from the first go and the homing was smooth, had no hitching.
From machine mechanics - was really glad the motion is via lead screws and not a belt transmission.
On the cons - it had no transport clips, was free to bounce around in shipment (no damage observed, but potential)
One really big disappointment was speed. it is SO SLOW!!! Didn't expect it to be of a printer speed, but 60x50 single pass on 90% taking an hour was sad.
The mobile app suggested in the booklet, not made by same people, but is required, while has neat functionality, intuitive, works plug-and-play, but has also issues.
For language support it has a list of languages, but everything other than English is Asian script, probably Chinese, even if you select any of the ten or so European options.
Also software materials presets selection does not reflect actual printer output and should not be relied on. Need to find your own settings for the material you are using.
As said in the beginning, happy with it, but some of my expectations (justified or not) were not met and constituted unfortunate surprises.
Thank you for the review, it was helpful
Best reviewer, & yes I subscribed quick & to the point.. great job from California.... something to do during the film, SAG & Writes strike, new neighbors bought the house next-door so an engraved cutting board should be a great gift with cheeses & such... they should be impressed as they moved in yesterday & just introduced themselves
Hope it works out for you. I've been engraving Keychains, metal business cards, coasters, leather patches..... tis a versatile little tool for sure.
Great review , thank you for spending the time to go over details and make the suggestions . You’ve probably saved a ton of people from burning out their retinas .
Will it run of the mobile app only ?
Do I need a computer or can I just run from a phone ?
Both, mobile app and PC software available.
Hi dear.it’s that leser aslo works for mobile back glass removal?those that laser have phones programs aswel?
I just ordered mine for 129.99...! Can't wait to start fiddling around with it. I'll upgrade to something serious if i out grow the projects in doing.
It's a fun place to start.
Hello! Great review on the Daja engraver. I am looking to engrave on a 3mm transparent acrylic. It seems that in order to work on acrylic it needs to be on opaque acrylic. Some people have suggested to use a marker to shade the acrylic. If I don’t want to go this route, are there other affordable machines out there that can engrave on clear acrylic?
I can't be sure, but you'd probably want a Co2 laser engraver instead of a diode laser engraver. amzn.to/47iUsHX However I know people have engraved glass with a diode laser by painting the glass black first, engraving it, and then washing the paint off the glass. I'm not sure if this would work with acrylic but it could be worth trying.
Discovered your channel by doing research on this very engraver. I am looking for something small to engrave my logo into my works.
Can you tell me how long it took to engrave your logo into the coaster? My logo will only be about 2 inches square and I was hoping it would only take a few minutes to complete.
Again, great video. New subscriber!
I've actually been engraving all sorts of media with this laser engraver. Coasters. Wooden Keyrings, Metal Business cards. I would say that the time involved will depend on the design of your logo. So a 2" square logo, if it's a photo or has a lot of different shades, it will take longer than something that is simple black and white in nature (or text). The wooden keyrings I was engraving will probably be the closest to what you'd be doing. Using my own DemonView Logo as a B&W engrave, I would say it took about 8 minutes maximum. Engraving depth and speed (which are selectable) will have the most effect on time.
I got mine on aliexpress mat was missing, but about to try it on one video (spent more time looking for direction to put it together because it was too easy)
I know the feeling..... I thought the glass shield should attach somehow, not just sit on the outside.
Great Video! Like another poster I found your channel by looking at this unit for my teen daughter. She is really into jewelry making and I’m wondering if you can engrave inside and outside of a ring for example. I am now a subscriber good luck to you!
Thank you, I hope the video was helpful.
Great review. I just got mine and was engraving right out of the box with non of the issues you had. But you dont install drivers before the application thats the reason you were having connection issues
Glad it's working for you. My connection issues were simply lack of clarity with the app. The "connection" button doesn't look like a button at all. So just needs a UI update. Have fun!
Thanks for the great video will it engrave leather patches.
Yup! It did for me
Can you explain how to set focus adjustment? thank you
I am making a follow up video, however the quick answer is that you should have gotten a small black piece of cardboard with the printer (you can use any dark material, the darker the better). Place it under the laser while it's in low power mode (not engraving). You can then turn the end of the laser (which is the lens) to focus that point. The smaller you make the point the better. Once the point is as small as you can get it, that's it, your laser is focused.
Did you ever get a “clearing flash” notification? And if so what does it mean and what did you do ?
Never seen the message, but I suspect that the image file is loaded into flash ram for every engraving session. It gets cleared before the next job. I did have it print a previous file when I attached it to a different PC once. So image still left in the flash ram I guess.
Hi! Will this cut acrylic? I’m specifically looking for something affordable that will cut shapes out of acrylic sheets at least a mm thick.
This is just am engraver, so it won't cut anything. You way want to look at the creality engravers/cutters. Probably something with a 10 to 20w laser. Should set you back about $600
@@DemonViewLLC thank you so much!
There are plenty of 40W CO2 lasers in the $500-$600 range that will cut acrylic (even thicker than you need) as well as engrave on it without issues at all... even perfectly clear stuff.
Thank you
You're welcome
I heard that the diode of that unit is consumable. Do you have a video on how to replace it?
No I don't. I'm not aware of any replacement diodes for this laser engraver.
Hi, thanks for the great and professional video. You make it look so easy. Just got mine and the Bluetooth connection to iPhone does not work. I reinstalled as per your advice about ten times and it is still the same. Any advice greatly appreciated. I contacted AliExpress Daja and they sent an email in Chinese that will not translate. Thanks in advance
So you can only connect through the app not through the bluetooth menu on your phone. So open the app on your phone, before you do anything else, click on the "not connected" message on the top right hand corner. That will allow you to connect to the Daja.
@@DemonViewLLC Thanks for your quick response and help. It seems that I have a DUD and requesting a refund. So disappointed that it did not work for me. Good luck and thank you for your help 😀
Hi, does it work on uncoated metals?
I don't know, I have only tried it on wood, coated metals so far. However most clear products require a coating and several guides I've seen for engraving plain aluminum that this does also need to be coated (although this is usually done by using a temporary coating such as marker and then washing it off after engraving).
Did you engrave metal with it yet?
Yup, did sine aluminum business cards.
Can this laser engraver be done an iPhone?
With care, I mean I would prefer to try an iphone cover than the iphone itself. Metal also can require a coating on it before you try engraving.
Wish you shown the software.
Didn't have a choice this time round as it literally was an unboxing video there and then. I'll do a follow up video hopefully this week. I think an update video will be good!
Thank you for your review. Do you feel it would handle dog tags? Thanks in advance.
@@terrijennings8785 I feel it would. It may require multiple passes for a better etch and you would want good ventilation too. Engraving on metal can take quite some time though. However there are other materials that are the same shape such as wood that may prove to be quicker.
Hello can i focus laser to engrave 5mm x 10mm font thankyou 🙏
I have no idea, I would have to invest in a ruler and measure things to find out. Tell you what, I'll be doing another review of this before christmas, I'll show some examples of things I've made with it and do some close ups of the smallest font sizes I was able to manage. Hopefully that will help you out!
@@DemonViewLLC thankyou, i want to make A logo words height 3mm length 10mm🙏
On smaller scales I tried it, also worked, but from image standpoint it is better to provide initial image at the needed size, rather than stretch and squish in the application, for better looking results. Smallest I made was about 20 by 20 mm. The outline tracing feature for positioning is super helpful in that!
Hello will this allow my to engrave Apple Watch band ?
Could do, I would get some spare bands and try them out first.
Will this engrave on glass
If you k ow how to engrave glass with a laser engraver, then you won't have any issues.
where i download the windows software?
The software for Android can be found here: play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.yscoco.sculpture
I'm not sure where to find the Windows software, but I read the Visicut should work.
I wasn't able to use the mobile app because it wouldn't connect bluetooth. After seeing this I've decided that I'll try the PC before I give up and send it back to Amazon.
There's been three rapid updates to the bluetooth software in the past few days which seems to have fixed any connectivity issues. However you need to do a complete uninstall and re-install of the software for it to work. Just updating won't fix the issue.
have you done text?.
Yup keyrings and coasters
