Creality Falcon2 22W Laser Engraver/Cutter: Perfect for Beginners!

[@Livinfast85]

I just came across this video and was really impressed with the in-depth review! I really look forward to watching your other videos!

[@AaedMusa]

Great review very detailed and informative. This and a 3D printer are a lethal combo.

[@froudster]

I've just ordered the Falcon2 22w Upgrade Combo and looking forward to playing with it when it arrives.

[@buildsomestuff]

Awesome! Have fun!

[@originalfallinggirl]

Best review!

[@garyandjanesisk9063]

Amazing machine! I never thought 22watts could do so much. Great review!

[@devel-man]

Hi, thanks for the review. Is it engraver suitable for PCBs?

[@tezzal1987]

The 20% code doesn’t seem to work?

[@oneeyedjack3734]

How high can you raise the laser to engrave? Could you put an object 6 inches high underneath the laser?

[@buildsomestuff]

Theoretically, you can raise this engraver as high as you would like. It’s just a matter of buying a lot of Creality’s Falcon2 leg extensions.

[@nielskapaan739]

i am planning to get the falcon2 22w but still deciding which roller to get. which would you suggest? the Rotary Kit Pro or the Rotary Roller?

[@buildsomestuff]

Awesome! I would definitely recommend the Rotary Kit Pro. It may cost a bit extra, but I believe it is definitely worth the price. I find that the Roller can be somewhat inaccurate because the objects tend to slip on the rollers. On the other hand, the chuck on the Rotary Kit Pro securely clamps objects into place. The Rotary Kit Pro can also be used for rings, spheres, and irregularly shaped objects, whereas the Roller can not.

Unfortunately I'm a little too poor for something like that although it looks like an amazing machine. Maybe someday. Love your videos, I've been thinking about trying to recreate your arm for a while but I'm not sure if I know enough about electronics to get it done.

[@buildsomestuff]

Thanks! No worries. If you do decide to recreate the robot arm, there are many videos here on KZbin that can be super helpful for figuring out the electronics. One video that I found especially helpful was this one by DroneBot Workshop which explains exactly how to use potentiometers with servos and the PCA9685 servo driver: m.kzbin.info/www/bejne/oYarnoyBjNyojdU&pp=ygUXU2Vydm8gZHJvbmVib3Qgd29ya3Nob3A%3D Hope this helps!

[@toaster2356]

@buildsomestuff thank you i will definitely look into it. I fell in love with your arm right when i saw it. I'm 17 I got my first 3d printer last Christmas. I wanted to play around with servos but I wasn't sure where to start. I think your arm is an excellent opportunity to get familiar with small electronics and motors. Thanks for the great work.

[@toaster2356]

@@buildsomestuff just a quick question if you don't mind. Would you say trying to recreate the robotic arm be doable by someone with no soldiering experience?

[@buildsomestuff]

@@toaster2356 It may be a bit challenging with no soldering experience. Especially for the controller. However, you might be able to recreate the arm without soldering anything (or at least not soldering very much) by using the connectors I linked in the robot arm video. I’m not exactly sure how you would reconstruct the controller without soldering the potentiometers, though.

[@toaster2356]

@buildsomestuff I'll figure it out thanks. That's half the fun right.

[@SanaasKitchen]

It does work for mirror acrylic!?

[@buildsomestuff]

I haven’t experimented with mirrored acrylic, but I would guess that it can’t due to the Falcon2 being a diode laser. Diode lasers have trouble with almost anything reflective or transparent. Unless, maybe, you paint one side of the acrylic black.

[@SanaasKitchen]

@@buildsomestuffthank u for the information,what other machine out there would you recommend to me that do mirror acrylic please 🙏🏻

[@buildsomestuff]

@@SanaasKitchen No problem! If you want to cut/engrave a reflective material, you may need to use a CO2 laser. These can be quite big and relatively expensive, however.

[@SanaasKitchen]

@@buildsomestuffthank you very much for ur response 🥰🥰

[@sungjem-l5w]

So when is the tutorial for the colour engarving on steel coming

[@buildsomestuff]

The color engraving tutorial should be published sometime after the assembly tutorial for the robot arm. Thanks for your interest!

[@santiagosassi7713]

Hi, sorry to bother you, i hace he same machine and at the beggining it was working perfectly with the TF card, but suddenly it does not work anymore with TF, does it happend to you too? do you know what can it be?

[@buildsomestuff]

That’s strange.🤔 First, I’d try running a file that you know worked before on a different TF card to determine if the port on the machine is bad or the TF card itself is bad. Also, you may be able to try reformatting the TF card and clearing it to its original state. Hope this helps!

[@Bandirmali10.5]

hi bro, Do you think this is the machine, Algolaser 22w delta or alpha? thanks

[@ARMA2ARMENIA]

How mutch did you pay for the honeycon under plate ? and for the roller ? Thanks, great video.

[@buildsomestuff]

Hello! A large honeycomb panel (larger than the one shown in the video) and the roller can be purchased with the machine for about $100 extra. Here’s the Amazon link to the Falcon2 with the honeycomb and roller included: amzn.to/3MGjTdv

[@ARMA2ARMENIA]

Thank you, and have fun with your new toy 👍@@buildsomestuff

[@jessicafaithgo4276]

Does the honeycomb come with the laser?

[@buildsomestuff]

Unfortunately, no. The honeycomb would need to be purchased separately. This is something I wish Creality would change, as a honeycomb is essential when cutting.

[@froudster]

@@buildsomestuff The Falcon2 Upgrade Combo comes with the honeycombe and the roller attachment for doing cylinders.

[@buildsomestuff]

@@froudster Yep! Thanks!

[@nilkoc8717]

I'm trying to engraving on metal but it doesn't work. I am trying all parameters. Is there a special setup?

[@arturom3525]

Can that laser engrave color on glass glasses?

[@buildsomestuff]

Unfortunately, no. Just stainless steel.

[@L7pushman]

From my buddy with another machine you pant the glass and the color comes through

[@ranjithkumar1807]

Hai does it engarve colour on gold

[@bloss0myt]

yo nice video

[@ARMA2ARMENIA]

👍👍👍
