ComMarker Omni One UV Laser Engraver Review | Cold Ablation Laser

[@supergiantbubbles]

I love how thorough and objective you are in your reviews.

[@BusterBeagle3D]

Thank you for watching! I try to be as honest as possible.

[@Samcraftcom]

The highlighter tip is a gold mine!!! I really appreciate you sharing it. I've always hated the paper or giant green sneeze guard method. :) My Omni 1 didn't have power supply issues, but my main mast had a many loose bolts and a few cross threaded in to make it sit crooked. Nothing I couldn't fix myself, but a bummer from the QC Dept.

[@BusterBeagle3D]

You're welcome! It truly is the biggest bummer about using a UV laser. Btw I was checking out your website the other day. It looks great! Congrats! I may have some questions for you in the future about it as I'm potentially looking to overhaul my own. I'll have to look back through your videos to see if you already talked about it.

Your still one of the best reviewer of laser out there. Keep up the good work.

[@BusterBeagle3D]

Thanks, appreciate you watching and the support!

[@UKGoldPanningAdventures]

I ordered mine a few days ago and I cant wait for it to arrive. Great video and keep up the good work.

[@BusterBeagle3D]

Thank you! Hope you like it.

[@NancyLee-n6v]

Amazing review as usual

[@BusterBeagle3D]

Thank you. Appreciate it!

[@terryclair2914]

Great review and Merry Christmas!

[@BusterBeagle3D]

Thank you. Merry Christmas!

4:14. Might be a good idea for customers to open it up, and just double check the wiring before they plug it in.

Hello, great show sir. What do you think is the best Laser to do deep engravings on ss knives and o1tool steel?

[@TTC1940]

Where does one learn about how to tweak settings on the uv laser if one has never used any type of galvo laser just a diode?

[@BusterBeagle3D]

Best way to test settings is by making a test grid and in Lightburn if that is the program you are using. There is a menu item in the program to create one for you based on the settings you choose. You can test frequency at particular Q Pulses or speed and line interval or really any combination of 2 of those settings at the same time. Might be too much for a KZbin comment but frequency is how fast that 355nm wavelength is hitting the surface. Speed of course is how fast the laser moves on the work surface. Q Pulse is how fast the laser shoots a stored energy pulse of the frequency you choose per microsecond. So the lower the number the stronger the beam is since you are shooting more per second. Lastly line interval is how close the burned lines are next to each other. The smaller the laser spot the closer those lines can be next to one another and the higher resolution you can get. This is all a quick overview but there are many videos online that do help go into those settings much deeper. Chat GPT is also a great resource for explaining those settings ever further.

This show here maybe?

Very informative video. I've had mine for a couple weeks and can't find the Commarker Materials Library you refer to in the video. Its not on my usb drive and I'm not finding it on their website. I was hoping you couple point me to where you got it. Thank you!👋

[@BusterBeagle3D]

Mine came on the USB drive but I have also seen a potentially updated version on their Facebook group in the files section. You can join that here facebook.com/share/18xw2pPKWa/?mibextid=K35XfP

[@abtechgroup]

the extra connector probably powers the fan in the safety enclosure...?

[@BusterBeagle3D]

I was assuming it was some sort of exhaust and potentially a light hookup but it’s just a guess

[@retti9]

I would suggest extra layers of protection for this wavelength of laser. Especially marking glass material. Existing engravings or cavity/density pockets in the glass material will divert the reflected UV and thermal radiation emitted at the point of interaction and flash into operator's eyes.

[@scubajeff2]

Great video. Trying to setup my Omni 1 in lightburn. I've got the drivers installed successfully. I'm configuring it in "Device Settings" dialog in the "Ports and Laser Settings" tab. When "Laser Type" to UV, the "enable q-pulse width setting" is greyed out. Can someone who has Omni 1 configured and have q-pulse working , show/tell me how they set it up. Screen shot or decription would be appreciated.

[@Zentient1]

Nicely done - Alan Z.

[@BusterBeagle3D]

Thanks Alan and appreciate the view. Happy Holidays!

[@TTC1940]

Thanks for the video. what was your source for the for the table that you used under the wood when you were doing cutting?

[@BusterBeagle3D]

It was a grill that came with the xTool F1 Machine. I probably shouldn't have used it in this video since it's not part of this machine. However I have also purchased heat sink fins in the past for work on other machines that a smaller but basically does the same thing. amzn.to/3P5XgAh

How do you record your voice? Is there a particular mic or signal processing chain you use? It's always so incredibly dry with almost no room noise. If I didn't know any better I would think you did ADR, but you wouldn't go through that much effort just to have super clean voice recording... would you?

[@BusterBeagle3D]

I recently just updated my microphone to a Rode shotgun NTG mic. It’s great. Also I edit my videos using Descript which has a Studio sound checkbox that removes room noise and breathing etc. Only issue is it’s sometimes too aggressive with certain words. You may notice that the audio gets low sometimes when I say the word “machine”.

[@bart.grantham]

@@BusterBeagle3D Well, that explains the lack of lavalier mic. Descript looks like a very impressive piece of software! It's always interesting to me to hear these behind-the-scene details. Thanks for sharing, and awesome video.

[@richardtepas4832]

i just ordered a Haotian UV, was lloking for years, now the time was here 🙂

[@BusterBeagle3D]

They certainly are coming down and getting more accessible which is great.

[@o1ecypher]

there is no right or wrong laser to use, the key is Application, as in whatever it is that you need to do, big or small, there is a laser with the appropriate technology for your specific needs. love the video, and no i am not a bot... 😂 😂 i need to buy me a laser or maby santa will gift me one. it would be a dream come true. ☺ my name is Jose nice to meet you my friend 🙏 PS; what do you think about using a variety of big and small leaves to as a canvas to engrave on, maby a beautiful picture of someone special or a loved pet or of something wonderful like some abstract art, and i would like to have some framed some encased in resin, and i was wondering if it was possible to do multiple layers of resin with the lasered leaf suspended within the resin but in multiple layers all stacked up to make it look 3d. i got some ideas i would love to see manifested and made by me and with help of the community, i know i need advice along the way. well i hope someone takes this idea and makes something of it, i know i would

[@BusterBeagle3D]

The leaves were an interesting thing to work on and I can see it being a cool thing for scrapbooks or many other craft projects, the possibilities are endless.
