FULL Review of the WeCreat Vision 20W Diode Laser!

[@BlackFlagLeatherGoods]

How many times did I say it blows the other laser out of the water? 🤦‍♂️

[@ncee1372]

I’ve been on the fence about a laser for over a year . Your review has convinced me to get this exact one! Your review was to the point and informative! Thank you !!

[@theartsypixie2771]

@1:30 😊ah, the simple pleasures in life that get us through the day to day.

[@BlackFlagLeatherGoods]

It was killing me to leave it on there until I filmed the review 😂

[@danpost4755]

Getting new tools is always exciting! Nice review. I hope things are going well.

[@BlackFlagLeatherGoods]

Thank you!! Things are going alright!

I got a Wecreat 20W and have used it for a month. I love it and agree with your review. The only complaint is that the hose is too short. I bought extra ventilation hose at Home Depot. Love the software. I import SVG files I create in adobe illustrator. I have the same issue with the dark leather. I was going to put my camping lantern on top to shine more light. I haven’t tried it yet, but guessing it will help.

[@BlackFlagLeatherGoods]

The hose is definitely short. I had extra dryer ducting I was using from the previous laser so I just fed it into that haha.

Great review and demo. LOVE the auto-focus. My next machine will definitely be one of these all-enclosed units. Quick note about wavy leather - get it wet before putting it in the laser cutter. Works best with veg tan. Also cuts down on the smell. After cutting, use a >>soft

[@BlackFlagLeatherGoods]

Thanks for watching! I'm definitely going to try that!

[@JoeyMassie]

Excellent advice. I am trying an Ozone generator to get rid of the burnt leather smell which is particularly offputting when making koozies/sleeves that will be near the nose when used.

My xTool P2 came with aluminum slats. I never understood why aluminum, but I upgraded to a honeycomb bed as soon as I could. Game changer.

[@BlackFlagLeatherGoods]

I guess maybe it doesn't matter as much since the majority of people are using more solid materials to cut and engrave 🤷‍♂️ I'm stoked to hear it's a game changer though!

[@Shane-wc1fx]

@@BlackFlagLeatherGoods I haven't used my slats since. Also, having a camera to position magnets to get the leather as flat as possible is amazing. Maybe throw a small battery light in there when you have dark leather.

[@BlackFlagLeatherGoods]

I was actually wondering if I could splice in some more led strips haha....

[@Shane-wc1fx]

@@BlackFlagLeatherGoods Not a terrible idea. I just add a small light if I need it, but rarely do.

[@BlackFlagLeatherGoods]

That's probably the easier approach

[@tjwills7608]

How big is the bed of the machine? Is it large enough to cut out an average sized or larger leather tote, for example? Thank you for your review - hugely informative!!

[@BlackFlagLeatherGoods]

I think the bed is 420mm x 290mm. I'm going to say it'd be too small for a leather tote unfortunately.

[@JoeyMassie]

Approx. 16.5 inches x 11.25 inches. There are creative workarounds to go larger. That will involve watching tons of videos and a willingness to experiment, and fail, lol....

[@eddiestephen4353]

Like the idea and the machine..... Just a pity that Wecreat are rubbish with email answers or communication........ More than 2 weeks and guess what, Still no replies to my emails to marketing etc. Looks like I'll be buying an xtool laser instead. At least they answered my emails etc. Looks like I'll not be advertising Wecreat at the next commercial fair in France on the 29, 30 and 1st December and then the Christmas markets for the next 5 weeks.

[@melnakabayashi2712]

How is the Wecreat customer service ?

[@theartsypixie2771]

Ok so I'm going to treat myself soon and I'm debating laser or clicker press. What are your thoughts?

[@BlackFlagLeatherGoods]

Clicker is definitely faster. If you're cutting the exact same pattern over and over it's the way to go. Ordering dies is expensive though so if you're making all kinds of different stuff I'd say laser.

[@grumpyshorts1056]

oh, oh... almost P'd my pants when you took off the film!!!!!! :-0

[@AWADesigns]

@13:58 Inching my way closer to buying one of these. Thank you for the video. Always very informative and easy to understand. You mention using another software program to create your templates and upload into their software. What software is that? I've been fooling around with the Leather CAD program and really like how easily it puts in curves and stitch holes. Is that what you are using?

[@connerbeck4359]

I am thinking of getting into leather craft, and I am really unsure about how to start and what tools my money's worth is. I have seen some of your videos and started to look online for some tools, and found oka factory from Japan and saw they have beginner kits. Have you maybe seen their tools or maybe know something about them. As I live in South Africa and don't know of any good quality tools in South Africa so I am looking to get some to import. Your videos really have been intriguing me and made me excited to start with leather craft.

[@BlackFlagLeatherGoods]

Hey! Thank you for watching my videos! OKA tools are good quality. I didn't know they made kits, but I have a few tools of theirs and really like them.

[@markgettemeyer1145]

Thanks very much for this review!

[@BlackFlagLeatherGoods]

Thanks for watching!!

[@JBSLeathercrafts]

can you wet the leather slightly before cutting?

[@BlackFlagLeatherGoods]

Good question! I'll give it a try and get back to you.

[@JoeyMassie]

For me, yes on some leathers and no on others. You will have to experiment, do materials testing and be willing to waste some trial and error material. That goes for everything you do with your laser, lol

[@eddieharley2235]

Thank you for sharing! Totally interested 🤙🏼

[@BlackFlagLeatherGoods]

Thanks for watching!

[@onitoharry9176]

Have you tried on cow hair leather??

[@BlackFlagLeatherGoods]

Oh god no.... But now I kind of want to... It does have ventilation!

[@tjwills7608]

@@BlackFlagLeatherGoodswould love to see that!

[@theartsypixie2771]

Oohh not sure the smell would be tolerable or baked into the grain of the leather.

[@braddobson2060]

Thank God you lost the unboxing footage. Go Canada

[@BlackFlagLeatherGoods]

Haha! Some people like it! It would have been quick anyway. It came assembled in a giant box.

[@grabtharandhishammer8251]

Yet another laser thats only available in the US or Canadia :( So little choice down here. I wish these reviews would start with where they are available.
