Videos like this for each item you could maybe put a graphic in the corner of the video with the Power/Speed/Passes ... for instance the tree clock...I would love to know the setting for that....just a suggestion...thanks...

[@JTMakesIt]

@@illmerica322 I post most of my settings on my website. There is a link in description to an article about this video. But the tree clock was made with the S9 in another project video hobbylasercutters.com/10-amazing-project-ideas/

Which brand diode lasers have a dynamic power control?

[@Spirited282]

Thank you for this video and also showcasing the different laser from xtool, i had wondered about it and if it was good

[@JTMakesIt]

Do you mean the infrared module? I did a full review if you want more information: kzbin.info/www/bejne/mZ2uZamXn9GGd8U Thanks for watching :)

[@bolman125]

is a k40 style co2 laser much better for cutting acrylic than a 20w diode laser ?

[@JTMakesIt]

Diode lasers can't cut transparent and white acrylic. But K40 is a terrible laser. Cheap but very small and needs a lot of tinkering to make it work well. You should check my reviews of CO2 lasers.

[@Georgeprospero]

Once again awsome video Jt! I'm on thoughts of upgrading my sculpfun s9 for my small business.. I do lots of engraving and cutting with 3mm birch plywood.. what would you suggest buying next to save time?!

[@JTMakesIt]

Thanks! If you like Sculpfun then something from S30 series. Also check the video description for the website article, you will find even more info there :)

[@TheBossHimself]

What settings (speed, power, passes) is used to cut the thick wood with the 40W diode?

[@JTMakesIt]

100% power and 300mm/min for the thickest one. For ABC letters I think it was the same or maybe double the speed

[@noggle4960]

It was my understanding CO2 lasers have a farther focal distance than diodes, therefore they have a longer "in focus" range than diodes... Think of it like a long hour Glass and a short hourglass. The longer our glass will have more area in the middle than the shorter one. Which is why CO2 lasers can cut thicker material and engrave things with more variance in height than a diode, like tumblers that have the big "step" in the middle.

[@wr3ncher]

Allegedly the lower watt diode lasers Will etch Anodized aluminum. Anodizing aluminum is as easy as a couple 9v batteries and some baking soda.

[@JTMakesIt]

5W ones do it with a bit less contrast, but anything stronger does great

[@billkeogh1591]

Chewbarka only deals with companies, not private individuals. Just thought your viewers should know...

[@billkeogh1591]

Great video though

[@myft1212]

Thanks for this, you saved my time in comparisons. Can you tell me what if Fiber Laser can engrave wood or cut also? Cuz I bought one diode engraver and start feeling that I should buy Fiber from the beginning. What I can do in Diode Laser engraver that Fiber can not do? Thanks again...

[@JTMakesIt]

Fiber lasers can't engrave wood or similar fibrous materials at all. Diode is much better for that. You also can't cut stuff with a fiber laser other than a very thin metals (up to about 0.3mm thick) and it takes many passes. Also check the video description for a link to my website article, there a lot more pros and cons are listed for each laser type.

[@sandcrab]

Am upgrading my Sculpfun s6 pro laser module to either the s10 or s30 pro both are around $300. Is there one you prefer?

[@JTMakesIt]

S30 pro is newer version. It should be better I think

[@chriswizard4930]

can you ugrade the SCULPFUN S9 5.5W Laser Engraving Machine to another co2 head to cut in clean acryl.

[@JTMakesIt]

Impossible. CO2 laser is made from totally different parts. You need a huge glass tube and a set of mirrors for deflectig the beam to the laser head.

i tried to sell my works in germany...the interes to engraved things is about zero %... unfortunately... and im engraving since 3 years...

You should advertise engraving custom anniversary gifts and wedding stuff. I get tons of requests all the time and I don't even advertise. Just requests from friends and people I know.

@@JTMakesIt I did... also put things on ebay.. only things i do is for friends and family... maybe somwhere else you can sell it, but in germany the people pay double price and buy it from a company... i can even make shirts with my laser engraver...you cannot see a differens when you buy it in store... anyway...i will not give up...someday i will have a great idea and get the richest man in the world 😂

The whole optical power vs total power thing is fucking me up and making it very difficult to shop for this shit, Why can't they just agree on one standard for advertising their shit?

@@JTMakesIt so I received a free "40watt" Tool head only laser but it is really 5.5 Watt optical power Do you have any suggestions for what to buy to mount it on? I also have an ender 3 pro I haven't unboxed yet because I ended up getting a v2neo and. V3 SE , could I or should I use the 3 pro or make a DIY Setup? This laser says 12 volts I think the ender uses 24 , I was thinking of using a buck converter to step it down. If I end up using the ender But I would like something with a larger work area but I can't seem to find any machines for sale on the usual places like AliExpress that you can buy without the tool head which I find weird because they have tons of tool heads only for sale

[@JTMakesIt]

@@anthonyrossetti7509 What brand of head did you get? I think most of the heads need power(12V or 24V) and 1kHz PWM signal (probably 5V) where duty cycle corresponds to power percentage output
