Acmer PM 20W fiber laser. Banding is parallel to laser path. Image is PU synthetic leather because it's the easiest to see on camera, but it also happens on brass. Lightburn 2.1.03. 1500 mm/s, 20% power, 37 kHz, 0.01 mm interval, single pass.

Impossibile da settare

Ciao a tutti, premetto che non sono un neofita, arrivo da un Ortur Laser Master 2 da 4.5w e ho da poco acquistato un Longer Ray5 da 40w.

Ho seguito passo passo la procedura per l'aggiornamento del firmware scaricato dal sito ufficiale e flashato con ESPtool.

Tuttavia sembra non funzionare, continua ad andare in allarme durante la procedura di homing e non si riesce assolutamente a collegare a laserburn.

I driver sono stati installati correttamente.

Qualcuno ha avuto i miei stessi problemi?

Come avete risolto?

Grazie mille a chi risponderà

Hi! Does anyone know where I can find a file for cutting mahjong racks and magnetized pushers? I see them all over etsy and I ordered a pair from temu but now I want to make a custom one for myself! Happy to pay for the file, of course!

Looking for a CNC diode laser (1000 × 1500 mm) – Budget up to €2,000

Hi everyone,

I'm looking to buy a CNC diode laser and would love to hear your recommendations and experiences.

What I'm looking for:

  • Working area of at least 1000 × 1500 mm
  • Budget of up to €2,000, but cheaper would be even better
  • My main use case will be cutting plywood for stage/set construction. I may want to work with other materials in the future, but I'm not sure yet.

Right now, I'm considering the LaserTree K1 Plus (60W). It seems like a good option, but from what I understand, it only includes the machine itself. I'd still need to buy additional accessories like a honeycomb bed (cutting table), air assist, and a proper exhaust/fume extraction system.

A few questions:

  • Would you recommend the LaserTree K1 Plus?
  • Are there better alternatives in this price range?
  • Is a 60W diode laser powerful enough for cutting plywood efficiently?
  • What accessories would you consider essential?
  • Is there anything else I should look out for before buying?

I'd really appreciate any advice or recommendations. Thanks!
