    Creality has released their upgraded 10 watt CR-Laser Falcon. I've had a blast using the machine for the last month, so here is my full review.

    Thanks Chris. Great review! May have to pick me up one of these.

    Thanks for the hint of not cutting PVC. I did a quick research and found a really useful page of a well-known laser company that explains the problem in detail. This is indeed super important for every user of a laser machine, so they should have provided this information! Great video though, very nice to watch and pretty informative 🙏

    Can you share your settings regarding the engraving of the stainless steel pendant? I tried the parameters as indicated by Creality (100%, 500 mm/min, height (?)) but no cut was visible. Might be that I need to try some more with the lightburn software, but I just want to make sure that it's not e.g. a focal length issue.

    Sir Nicely Explaind, Please tell me one thing how can we cut Acrylic sheet with it?

  • @thedavidfield1
    @thedavidfield1 Před rokem

    Can you share the settings or do a video on light burn with this laser? I tried to cut the supplied wood using the test guide and it barely made a mark. Not sure what I am doing wrong.

    Can you tell me if the roller engraving attachment will work with the CR-Laser Falcon 10W Laser?

  • @wolfblade
    @wolfblade Před rokem

    Thanks for the video. I thought I was going crazy on mine also but realized it is likely firmware for the drift, since if I home the laser and cut again, it aligns almost perfectly multiple times over the same engrave. Have you been able to update to the sept 7th version they have up on their site? My cutter doesn't seem to do anything when I put that file on the micro sd card, and try to update it.

    • @wolfblade
      @wolfblade Před rokem +1

      I was able to get it to update. Apparently, I was just not patient enough when waiting for it to start the update. And This solved my alignment issues perfectly also.

    Great review young man!
    I received mine last month. I was able to do 1 project with mine, now every time I send the Gcode the Laser powers off several times and won't do anything. Anyone have any ideas on this issue?

    • @HoffmanEngineering
      @HoffmanEngineering  Před rokem +1

      Thanks for the comment! Unfortunately, I haven't experienced any issues like that, so I can't be of much help there. Have you reached out to creality's support about that issue?

  • @raeesakhan8951

    Hi. Can you cut clear acrylic that has a different colour sticker on it? And also engrave on it?

  • @deanbrown4496

    Does it can make PCB?

  • @xmhpjo
    @xmhpjo Před 2 měsíci

    Please, i want to engrave into BRASS. Small logo 5x5mm. Example Smiling FACE. Do you think, it would be possible also with 5W laser, and would it be readable? thanks

    • @HoffmanEngineering
      @HoffmanEngineering  Před 2 měsíci

      No, no diode laser can engrave on brass. The lasers wavelength isn't right. To engrave brass, you need a fiber laser.

  • @francoisfournier8068
    @francoisfournier8068 Před 2 měsíci

    Hi ! just wondering, can you cut through aluminuium or stainless steel ? Here you engrave it, but I guess cutting a for example 1,5mm aluminium would be possible ?

    • @HoffmanEngineering
      @HoffmanEngineering  Před 2 měsíci

      No, diode lasers are not able to cut metal. You can make dark marks on the surface of stainless steel, but it's not actually removing able metal. You would need a different type of laser, like a fiber laser, to work with metals.

  • @skeetarus
    @skeetarus Před 8 měsíci

    Oh it can't cut clear acrylic? Bummer! I was hoping to get one for partly that purpose.

    • @HoffmanEngineering
      @HoffmanEngineering  Před 8 měsíci

      Nope, no blue light diode laser can cut clear acrylic. You'll need an infrared CO2 laser for that.

  • @martinsoublette95
    @martinsoublette95 Před 8 měsíci

    Can this device cut through thin tin and/or very thin brass?

    • @HoffmanEngineering
      @HoffmanEngineering  Před 8 měsíci

      Unfortunately not, not the right wavelength laser to work with any kind of tin or brass.

  • @infered5365

    Really good video! If my Ender 3 laser conversion doesn't pan out I might just turn it back into a printer and pick one of these up.

    • @skeetarus
      @skeetarus Před 8 měsíci

      I am tossing up between the Ender 3 attachment and the full Falcon 10w set up. How did you go?

    • @infered5365
      @infered5365 Před 8 měsíci

      @@skeetarus not good, pick up the Falcon or an arguably much nicer xtool.

    cut pvc or ps?

    • @HoffmanEngineering
      @HoffmanEngineering  Před rokem +2

      You'd never want to laser pvc, that gives off chlorine gas which is very dangerous (to both you and the machine).
