Did your Falcon pro 40 come with a TF card, ours did not. Do you have a good contact number for Creality, we are in Canada & are finding it hard to reach them thank you!
@stuffsethmakes5 күн бұрын
yes, both of my laser came with a TF card (i think it's just the same as an SD card?). Honestly I've never used the card other than a test to see if it was working. I have my laser in my office (exhaust ported outside through a wall-ducting setup that I 3D printed parts for) and I run all my jobs from my laptop using a long USB cable. Unfortunately I don't have a contact number, i only had contact info for the person who was dealing with the sponsorship deal and not a "support" person for Creality. Are you having trouble with something? If so, maybe i can help (depending on the issue)🤷🏻♂️.

Hi, I am a beginner, trying first time, what would you suggest 10w or 22w falcon machine? I want to start it a hobby and create small things mainly for cutting upto 5mm max. The price difference is significant between them, need you advice...thanks!
@stuffsethmakes7 күн бұрын
the 10watt was great to learn on but once I got the 40watt, there was no looking back! So, if you can afford more power, I say go for it! If you can only afford the lower power model it will still be good to learn and get familiar with.

wait a second why did the initial cut of that wood end up burning? did you ever explain that in the video or did i miss something? cause the rest of your cuts looked great what did you end up doing to solve that problem?
@stuffsethmakesАй бұрын
you're referring to the cut test? i think it started burning it because on that part of the cut test is where it's doing the cut with the slower speeds and the most heat. That means those first few cuts are generating a lot of heat in that same area with no real cool down time in between (because the little squares that it's cutting during the test are so close together). I also think this happened because it was the first thing I did with this 40watt model and I was only used to the 10 watt model so I didn't really know where to start with my heat/speed settings so i just SENT IT 😂. I could've run my first test cuts at more conservative settings and built up from there.🤦🏻♂️. Hope this helps to explain it. I think I did NOT mention this in the video...i should've!

I have an issue with my 60w. My machine is not powering up at all. I checked all the hookups and nothing. The green light to the power bank lights up but no power is going to the machine. Can you give me suggestions? I contacted the manufacturer and they are useless
@stuffsethmakesАй бұрын
bummer! hmmm. the only thing i can think of off the top of my head is the emergency shutoff button. Is there any chance you might've accidentally bumped it? Double check that to make sure it's in the correct position. Another thing you can check is the key lock if your machine has it. Mine does but i NEVER use it so if you're like me then the key lock probably isn't the problem, but it can't hurt to turn the key back and forth a couple times just in case. If you still have no luck then I'd DISCONNECT all the plugs and wires, (to the point of initial assembly) and then reconnect them and see (but maybe you already tried that). Last thing could be the power supply cord or power supply itself. While the light on the power supply may turn on, I guess there's always the chance that the cord AFTER the green light is bad. On my first laser, the 10watt model, the included power supply took a dump pretty quickly. Creality sent me a new one and the problem was solved. I don't know if any of these suggestions will solve your problem but they're worth a shot🤷🏻♂️. I'm sorry you're having trouble with your machine and with tech support😕

it all depends on what somebody considers to be "slow". it all depends on what your project is. It all depends on what you're trying to achieve. And it all depends on the settings you use. Doing a set of test cards for the different materials is extremely helpful. I've been very happy with the speed of this machine. My previous laser was the 10watt version and it was definitely slower than this 40watt, but still fun!

Can i ask, is the working space really 400x415mm or is it smaller because of the metal arms for the axis? And how is the smell even with the casing?
@stuffsethmakes2 ай бұрын
i'd say the working area measurement is accurate. the ACTUAL surface area is bigger, but that's the unused space because of the arms/axis. The smell shouldn't be an issue if you have it ducted properly. I have a somewhat sloppy connection where i've ported mine out the window...and on heavy burns I do notice a little bit of smoke leaking🤦🏻♂️ but that's no fault of the laser, just my poor design of the connection haha. I have a pvc elbow attached to the exhaust hose and just the way it's positioned is not ideal, i just haven't had the time to fuss with it more yet.

considering that i have yet to master the laser, i'd double check all your speak and hear settings. also check your interval settings in lightburn. maybe tweak just a little point at a time. for instance make a minor adjustment to only one belt and see if it helps or makes it worse....then do one minor adjustment to the other belt and see if that does better or worse. then do the same for the eccentric nuts. other than that i would reach out to creality and see what they can tell you👍🏻

If i wanted to engrave a logo on something like a tabletop, you can probably just set it in place, centered over the area you're wanting to put your artwork, set the appropriate laser height relative to the tabletop, and run it. I say you can "PROBABLY" do this because i have not tried it. I have however, tried it on a pumpkin pie and engraved an image of George Jefferson saying "happy thanksgiving you jive turkeys" 🤣🤣 The results were......well.....not great, but that was a pumpkin pie and I had 1 shot. Who would've thought pumpkin pie burns differently than wood?? LOL! But in theory, i would think that yes, what you're proposing may work👍🏻

i honestly can't remember if i put anything on this batch. I have used a basic product like Thompsons water seal on other projects. Also, I've used Penofin for a redwood fence I built a couple years ago...it's pretty oily (which is good) and gives it some nice deep color. You could also go with spar marine varnish if you wanted something that is pretty durable and actually dries, although it MIGHT only come in a gloss sheen, but after a couple coats you can lightly scuff sand with 320grit or the gray 3M synthetic steel wool pads to dull down the sheen. Hope this helps! 🙌🏻

how much do you think it costs Chyna to make these little laser engravers? I'm guessing not much.

Larger channels probably bring more business for them. Also, their main thing has been 3D printers and I think they want their laser engravers to become as popular as those. You gotta spend money to make money.

The leather was pretty thin, so it wasn't a big deal but i remember playing with the settings on some scrap first. The heat/speed ration needs to be dialed in otherwise it was wrinkling the leather.
