I've had the A1 for a few weeks, I took the plunge for the AMS. I have my A1 printer inside a safety enclosure and I'm disappointed the power cord from AMS to the A1 is so short. I've just ordered some Capricorn tubing to better reach the A1 from the top. The specs say it can use up to 1.2m of bowden tube, so hopefully that will work. I definitely need an AMS power extension cord tho

hey where did you find that acordion lead screw cover?

Does this machine provide black annealing like the xtool f1? I’m doing personalised jewelry and I’m hesitating between the deep engraving of this machine and the laser annealing of the xtool f1. Im hoping this machine can provide both so I won’t have to choose

Good fine settings wise! this opens up a ton of things!…. i would love to see you using that lower laser level to cut various thinner metals that are over 0.02 thicknesses.. like maybe .25 or less.. in various materials

Hoping to be able to make one of these to start a small business in a few years once I graduate university. The fact you're providing an affordable way for small businesses and creators to make their own parts and products is incredible. Without something like this smaller makers would to some how get the money to outsource to a big factory, or look over seas to companies what can only be within the budget of small businesses through low human rights standards. Making it able for small businesses and entrepreneurs to produce their own injection molded designs locally, ethically, and most importantly do all of that while being affordable and realistic is amazing! You are a blessing to the maker community and please keep this initiative going because you have something really special here. Following the development of this over the past few years has inspired me and shown me that there's a real path forward for following my dreams. I can't wait to see what amazing stuff you add to it next.

Hello. Where did you get that hueforge of jack skellington? Thats awesome!

i have the A1 mini combo A1 combo and X1C with 4 AMS boxes.. which 16 colors changing is too much. Guess I'll have to buy 3 P1S to use the 3 ams boxes I'm not currently using. 4 -8 colors is more than enough, i think. I hope Bambu Labs will come out with a larger printer bed.. like Neptune 3 and 4 max by Elegoo.. or something better than Qidi Plus 4.. 400mm square would be awesome.

honest revew and commercial are different things d#mb c#nt. How many coins you do working on 100% power befor laser gets broken?

buster does your injection molding machines use carbon fiber? Preston

Thanks for the review. I think I'm going to use my holiday vacation to explore 3D printing with an A1. I'm not sure I need the AMS.

I have a Mingda Magician X from when they first came out. I have not used it much because it came with a broken piece and it took me two years to figure it out, order and receive the part. Where is a good tutorial to learn about what software I should use and how to use it? Thank you

A1 and A1 mini keep being described as beginner printers. I beg to differ - they're light years ahead of the creality's I have -in every way.

Brilliant tutorial, thank you… subscribed 🤗🤗🤗

I'm calling BS on the no scanning spray claim. I own an otter and struggled repeatedly to scan a black ammo box. The spray helped tremendously.

There is something strange about the audio in this video.

What wattage are you using in the video?

Does anyone know how many mm the focus block is for the 4.5W version? I bought a new unused one from my sister and she didn't have the focus block. I have tried several times to contact Ortur support for other issues and No one will reply.

Can this make lenticular prints ?

What would happen if i scan a flat plate with holes? Would it allow me to measure hole sizes, locations etc as if to make a cad drawing?

How about I would email you .stl file of 1oz silver coin with Jefferson face. The human face is the ultimate test of laser ability to cut quality die.

I just got an A1 as my first 3D printer ever and it's great! I'm also learning Plasticity to create my own models and I couldn't be happier with the results I'm getting. I didn't get the AMS because I don't like the idea of wasting so much material, but I can always get it in the future. Thanks for the review!

Sir, thank you and the community for all your work and effort. I'm a microbio student in college right now so I don't really have much technical or mechanical knowledge, but your videos have always been immensely informative and inspiring. I honestly picked the wrong career path but it's kind of late for me to change at this point. I have been planning to start a small business since May of 2024, and you have made this an actual possibility for me to be able to actually produce a product, and I am eternally grateful.

I'm looking to do some engraving on steel, gold, silver as well as wood and stone/slate. What would be the best wattage laser to use and also in your opinion, would you be able to engrave a deer skull with this machine, if not, what would be suitable for that? Cheers and a new subscriber

took a while to source the parts ,BUT works like a charm ! thanks for the guide :D

Does it matter where the blue dot is?

Hi, is there any stock left for SC63 piston? Seems only SC100 is available at inventorsource :/

What the heck happened to your audio at 10:22?? It became totally unpalatable and ear searing /popping??? At 29:20 the mind-numbing audio levels are turned off. I really like how the Otter scans the human form. I picked up both otter and Raptor. Im keen to sell my Raptor to buy a Raptor X... 41 line laser sounds amazing. P.S. That bad audio sounded like electromagnetic interference....Shielding issue possibly. Good cables are worth their weight in gold.

How do you install the reduce purge CAD. I downloaded it and clicked it, but just brought up a setup page. See nothing on how to have it change teh coding

What material is the medal made of? How long does it take to engrave?

Excellent review! I’m shopping for a fiber laser, and XTool is having significant issues.

Noob question here but can you use a machine like this for latex rubber (especially natural latex rubber) Gorgeous build and great explanations btw

Hello! I bought the extension kit working on lightburn but it recognizes only the original size 810x460 even though I changed the machine settings.do you know what I’m probably doing wrong? Thank you in advance!

Can a injector molding machine inject Eva foam to create a mold?

Can eva foam be used in a injector molding machine? How can I be able to ask you a few questions about injector molding machines? If I have to pay you I will. Please answer

Quick Question, I'm using the xtool brass coin which is apparently thicker than the coin you used. It measures at 4.32mm. My coin didn't cut through, is there a way to adjust the settings for this coin?

Conveniently they included a test model that is so full of texture and colors it took no effort to scan. Meanwhile, scanning other real-life objects were much more challenging and I kept losing tracking.

Good review. I’m basically a Revopoint man, but this doe looks very promising. I have both range scanners from Revopoint and former owner of the Pop 2. I normally can midsize to large objects. I as have a The original CR Ferret. so I’m aware of the good the bad the ugly with Cr scanners. Scans dark objects without spray. Very forgiving with lost tracking is re established. Not the best software. I believe Creality addressed the mobile issues they bridge they created. My only major concern is the Creality boasted that the Creality Ferret was an all in one scanner. I’m not an expert in the metric system, but my issue is that it was supposed to scan small objects. The specs on the Creality site stated that the minimum scan size is 50Mm but the Creality scan software lists 150MM. Again, I’m not a metric system expert or even novice, but most scanners list 10 MM as small. I am very interested in this Scanner if it could handle midsize to very small objects. I am a Revopoint customer, but I’m not a blind loyalist. and

Seems like it loses detail when there are sharp edges. Compare the coins where the relief comes up out of the body of the coin. Looks like the edge is rounded, rather than sharp. Same with the stone(?) buddah. Looks like there's texture in the surface that gets lost in the scan. Compared to the older scan, I have to wonder if the texture that's on the older one is really there and the scan from the Otter just smoothed it out, or if the older scan just had scan artifacts that added surface imperfections that aren't there.

So buy a whole other stand for a piece of flat bar you could have bought and drilled for like $2? And not just buy another stand, buy it and ruin it.

Can this method be used for stainless steel?

Just came from Creality Ender 5 S1 and got A1. OMG this thing feels like few generations ahead. Had I known, I would bought it much sooner. A1 is love

I have 4 3d printers. I've been doing this for 6 years. I'd say I'm pretty intermediate at this point, but I'd still buy this machine because when most of us picked up our first ender we thought it was going to be this and it just was not. If you want to learn more about 3d printing definitely do, but it's hard to beat bamboo right now.

You must have used another camera to capture the printer building the pumpkin and skull. It was smooth and clear. Care to mention?

Seriously fantastic review. Thanks so much for going into such detail. It’s really appreciated!

I purchased the heat chambers and assembled everything up until the the moment I needed to hand screw in the temperature sensor. The k sensor from the set recommended in the description doesn't match the thread of the heat chamber so I can't actually screw it in. The tapped hole is a m6x1, but the one provided in the kit is likely 1.25mm. I can't find any couplings on amazon that are actually 1mm. I'm going to have to shop around, but it's kinda annoying because I can't release the temperature controller from the provided .stl file for the 3d printed encasing. Perhaps it would be better to sell the actual kits on your store like the ac switch to avoid this in the future. Thank you. It's been fun to build up until this point.

great ,, please use a large black arrow in future,, white on white , is difficult to follow,, please and thank u kent

I have a 300W fiber laser that uses EZCAD3 which is capable of doing the same thing in around 8 hours at 90% power. I also added an air knife to constantly remove debris from the parts I'm working on, very practical and I can confidently say it is better and more practical than a cnc for small parts like that. Thanks for the video.

Will the engraving you did on coins work on silver and gold too and cut I cut names around 2mm thick or no I’ve been looking for a laser that I can learn

Great video, thanks.

Hi, I was curious what kind of metal is the mold block and do you have a online source for it?
