IKIER K1 PRO 24W LASER - THE NEW KING OF LASERS!

[@woodwaker1]

John, you are becoming the king of lasers

[@TripodsGarage]

Thanks! Bear and Oreo liked their laser engraved Milkbones 😃

[@enelgaragedemartincho]

Great review.

[@TripodsGarage]

Thanks bud! Much appreciated!

[@millerjy36]

Popped up on Twitter and I am thankful you did. I spent a year modifying a blue and white k40 death trap. Loved the project. Unfortunately it was irreparably damaged in a move and I have been debating for 2 years whether or not to start over. This popping up on Twitter and watching the video has made me want to jump back in but at a better starting point. I look forward to watching more of your videos.

Thanks for reviewing this unit. I'm new to the hobby and evaluating my first unit. Likely the 48/24 model just released. Appreciate the auto-focus portion especially tying in to Lightburn!

[@OldCurmudgeon3DP]

Great vid. I was working on an auto focus for my Z1, but I'd have to add a board or completely replace the main on it to implement. Work got in the way so it's just a knob, leadscrew, & linear rods now.

[@TripodsGarage]

Thanks bud! After how many years do we finally see an auto focus Z on a gantry laser as standard equipment? Also having air assist built into the controller? This should have other premium manufactures thinking twice when releasing a new product.

[@OldCurmudgeon3DP]

@@TripodsGarage there's the 2-3x the purchase price issue as well.

[@Frankg77]

​@@TripodsGarage dude the Snapmaker has had autofocus and sinking capabilities for the past 4 years. Not only that but the autofocus is entirely optical and as a digital camera integrated in the module. Ikier is just catching up in terms of features. If IKIER has something innovative, that would be the power of the laser but that's it.

[@Firstleaker]

Oh! That laser came out of nowhere! Great video! I want!

[@TripodsGarage]

Yeah, when they sent me an email to review it. Finally some advancement in this space! I have turned down dozens of lasers for review, just because they are just clones, or didn't offer anything different. Thanks for watching!

[@andrewearl9315]

I moved and had some other lasers with power cords so does any one know if it uses 12 volt input voltage to run it ??? Please help so i can start it up again please

18:40 Fun Fact: Dogs do in fact have taste buds, and their sense of smell which is extremely important to the overall sense of "taste" is many many times more powerful than humans, so they do taste things and if anything they can have a taste for it far more intensely than we do even before it touches their tongue ^_^

[@BGA1111]

I got Atomstack X 20 directly from Atomstack, within first 500 customers. Got it for over a year, love it never had any issue and i was waiting something that will be stronger then xtool D1 40w, , and here we go. Atomstak did it again. I am going to get this one as well.

[@Sergiodj453]

Awesome review there TriPod. That laser looks like something I would buy if I had the room.

[@TripodsGarage]

Thanks bud!

[@LaserLife67]

Do you lose any of the x-axis since you have to offset to use the autofocus? I have a K1 ordered and it looks like you would, but asking to be sure.

[@LisaHarsh]

John great review and and love the auto focus. Not as much as I love Bear and Oreo. Thanks for doing that. Have a great night, day or whenever you read this. 😊

[@TripodsGarage]

Hello Lisa! Was hoping you were going to watch 😊. Yep, Bear and Oreo enjoyed their treats per your suggestion 👍. Thanks for watching and commenting!

[@haikhovhannisyan4908]

i want to start business with laser engraving , i decided to buy ikier ultra , because of speed , can you suggest better laser engraving machine , and guide on what to focus on buying laser engraver , any suggestion i will examine as deep as i can , thank you

[@MrLelopes]

Don't xtool has the D1 with 40w 8 core laser now?

[@mihgio3235]

looks very, very beautiful but i don't think is more accurate and powerful than sculpfun s30 max 20w. maybe you can make a comparison video?

[@nickp385]

Hi John, I'm about to buy my first laser. Would you go with this or the X Tool 40 watt? I think they make a 36 watt that you can swith from high power back to 24 watts. What do you feel would be better? Thanks for all your great videos.

[@TripodsGarage]

I knew someone was going to ask me this eventually 😉! xTool vs Ikier! Well the xTool bundle is $1,747.98 for the 40w with the 10w. The Ikier is $1,499 for the 36w laser and air assist. The can always decrease the power to fit your needs. To me, the Ikier even though you have a 4w lower wattage just seems to be a better machine. I really enjoyed reviewing both the xTool and Ikier, both are quality products. However, the Ikier just has better features, and is more advanced. I really like the auto focus, and LightBurn controlled air assist on the Ikier. The only thing I do not know is if Ikier will be coming out with a 1064nm module for the K1. I have links and discount codes in all of my videos, if you are in the market.

[@nickp385]

@@TripodsGarage lol I guess some had to ask. I will use the links so you make a few bucks on it. I like the ikier better but had no experience with either one, you used both so why not ask you. What is a 1064nm module?

[@TripodsGarage]

@@nickp385 - wasn’t expecting someone to ask so soon 😂😂. Thanks for using the affiliate, helps with material purchases, and taking the wife out to dinner. The 1064nm laser module will allow you to engrave metals. I posted a link to the xTool 1064nm below. The laser in this video is a 455nm laser that is good for wood, rock coasters, glass (with a interface layer), paper, leather, and other organics, and can mark stainless steel. Don’t be fooled with advertisements saying a 455nm can engrave metal, it cannot. It can only mark it. Hope that helps? kzbin.info/www/bejne/bX_EhKubqt51Z7M

[@nickp385]

@@TripodsGarage thanks a lot, it does help.

[@MrBluesDeville335]

@@TripodsGarage hi Tripod, can you eventually reach to iKier to ask them about the 1064 laser ? I am very interested in the K1 but not knowing about a future infrared or not is preventing me for taking the plunge…! Thank you
