Gweike Cloud 50w CO2 laser cutter and engraver: cutting plywood, 1/2" thick solid wood, and acrylic

[@Mcdonaldrod75]

Great review. thanks. Fume extractor looks efficient at capturing the gas emissions but make the slot wider, and then you have to worry about particulates such as microplastics. Being able to not smell fumes is not a reliable measure of micro particles. I like your channel, and would like to see more dedicated sections with emphasis on safety features in products. It's usually a part that is not emphasized or just touched on briefly. Keep up the good work.

I encourage you to cite that this is a review of the version II because most of the other content is for the older model.

Great information and explanation. I do 3D printing but would like to do laser engraving and cutting. You are very helpful in narrowing the field down which direction to go. Thank you for the effort you put into this. 💪🇺🇸😎

[@MrGerhardGrobler]

Precise, unbiased review. As we expect from your channel. Thank you.

[@german26able]

Thank you so much Aurora.

[@bruhbroseph]

You're the best instructor I've had in a minute. Thank you for your time. 🫡

Many specifics are addressed here regarding this type of machine. After 2 decades we can finally get rid of that bucket of water on the floor. If the coolant is anti freeze it would be handy for usage in places where temperatures go below freezing or transport through freezing conditions; otherwise the places with the liquid will have Rupture.

500mpx camera!!! That's crazy!

I had to subscribed. Your channel is awesome.

Great review! Thank you.

Excellent review

[@Metal_Vistas]

I have been enjoying your reviews, finding them helpful and I appreciate your measured and thorough approach. In this video you, stated the Gweike machine has better cut quality than 'most' diode lasers, and I was hoping you might elaborate. Are their diode lasers with better (though slower) cut quality? Thank you!

[@AuroraTech]

I would say that this not only applies to the Gweike machine. In my opinion, CO2 lasers cut faster and better than diode lasers.

[@bettydaltonnewbold2019]

I have hundreds of laser designs done in Coreldraw that I used to send directly to my old (now defunct) Universal M-300 laser machine. Do you know of any Coreldraw plugins to let you do the same to this 50 watt machine? Thank you.

How deep will this engrave on oak hardwoods?

[@OccultDemonCassette]

Will you review the Omtech Polar 50W laser?

[@AuroraTech]

They are essentially the same machine, with the metal case cutouts being nearly identical. Therefore, I wouldn't expect one to be better than the other.

[@OccultDemonCassette]

@@AuroraTech awesome, thanks!

[@mazzugara]

Are you looking for a sole importer into the uk?

[@ayaxnavarro1006]

Hello. Great video. Congratulations. Is the laser lens Dust? May it be possible? Is there a black circle shadow in the lens center? If so, if you clen the laser focusing lens, the cut test will be faster, better speed results on cutting test. Best Regards.

[@zaprodk]

The lens is very dirty and needs cleaning, yes.

[@harrycox9995]

Hi, just a quick question: Will you be reviewing the new Elegoo Neptune 3 Plus? Thanks :).

[@AuroraTech]

Yes, I will review that in mid March

[@cluebin8398]

Seems like the biggest con would be cost. You can get a larger and more powerful CO2 laser for the same or even less money (and I'm not talking about the junk ones from China).

[@ayaxnavarro1006]

Min 5:38, I can see it. May it be?

[@quincy1665]

Hi Aurora, Great review, thanx! I do have a questions, since you tested both machines: I now have a Twotrees TS3, bought this diode laser mainly because it was enclosed and was hoping it would extract fumes nicely. However, in my tiny office it smells like I burned down a whole forest after I engrave or cut any kind of wood for longer than 15 minutes, even when I have a hose connected. How do you think the fume extraction is on the Gweike? Do you really smell nothing at all, or is that just because you're in a huge space? Like I said, I have a tiny office, so if it's not perfectly extracting it will smell pretty darn fast haha

[@AuroraTech]

I would say adding the 6" duct fan helps a lot, just the exhaust fan at the back of the machine may not be enough to create strong negative pressure, and smoke may still escape from the gaps.

[@quincy1665]

@@AuroraTech I'll be looking into that. Thank you!

[@pattycole115]

If max speed is 600mm/s how are you showing cuts at 1500mm/s? Did you mean mm/minute?

[@robinbiggs3577]

Just walk away from this company save yourself the headache of faulty machines and non existent guarantees

[@1-Nice-Guy]

Lots of charring when engraving
