This was the review I was looking for. All questions answered, very good job 👍

[@JTMakesIt]

Thanks!

[@chrislx2006]

Just ordered an S9 - pity I already paid for it before seeing the discount coupon lol! I'm not expecting it to be delivered any time soon though because the last of the current batch is sold out. I would like to ask what is the size of the footprint of this machine? Yes I know the engraving capacity but I would like to know how much clear space I need on custom made shelf to hold it (so that would include any bits that stick out like the stepper motor..). Thanks for the review - subscribed!

[@Buchnerd_Souly]

Thank you for the review. I've bought the Atomstack, because its price was reduced and I got 40€ off. Can you tell me, what material i can put under the laser to protect my table (and wooden floor) to cut through?

[@JTMakesIt]

Steel sheet is the best cheap solution.

[@charlesdunecaliboso143]

What software did you use for the test file? Is lightburn software compatible to atomstack ?

[@JTMakesIt]

I use lightburn. It is the best

Hope to notice my comment, i want to buy laser engraver for my small business but it's hard to choose which one. Does atomstack a5pro/sculpfun s6pro engrave/cut clear acrylic? Thankyou :))

[@JTMakesIt]

You can engrave transparent acrylic only if you paint the surface black with easy to remove paint. None of the diode based lasers can cut transparent acrylic. Look at hobbylasercutters.com for more info about more capable machines and stuff you can do with these machines

[@michaelmckenna9123]

Brilliant review JT.. Thanks for this my bro bcos it's very hard to get this kind of content on here.. Salute to u Sir..

[@lewy7601]

How about cutting clear acrylic? would both machine able to cut through?

[@JTMakesIt]

No. None of the diode lasers on the market can cut clear acrylic because of physics. Diode lasers emit blue light-visible spectrum. And you can't cut whatherever it is white or transparent because the light goes through. Co2 lasers on the other hand emit infrared light which is basically heat and they can also cut transparent and white materials because infrared is also absorbed by transparent materials.

[@sarahammond7895]

Do you have your test file available for purchase? I just used your link to purchase the S6 Pro and I'm so excited. Thank you for your comprehensive reviews, they really made my decisions so much easier and explained so much that I would have never thought of. Please don't stop :)

Another excellent video. I'd like to see a similar comparison but with the Ortur laser master 2 pro thrown in. Maybe a shootout between the "winner" from a previous comparison vs. a new challenger. Also I appreciate the website.

[@JTMakesIt]

[@pawannath1482]

Just want to know how much time it took to cut the boards

[@JTMakesIt]

Depends on the size and thickness

[@mariaboscarino3670]

Does the Sculpfun laser engravers have accessories like Atomstack laser engravers do? I really like the R3 Rotary Roller and the Extension Towers from Atomstack and would Love it if Sculpfun had those options.

[@JTMakesIt]

They will soon have. I was told that they are developing the roller and will soon be available for sale. They also have a honeycomb plate available which I will test soon.

Can you add a rotary tool to the s6 pro? I have not see any videos showing the s6 pro with a rotary

[@JTMakesIt]

[@KookyBone]

Just bought the Atomstack A5 pro, but it didn't came with a switch. Maybe because some KZbinrs criticized it before, for not having a switch. But interesting findings and a it helped me to get some better settings for my laser. Thx 😉 and yes it didn't cut the blue acrylic glass because if something looks blue to your eyes, it is because it mostly reflects the blue wavelengths of the light and absorbs more of the other colors. So if you would have used red or green acrylic it should have worked... This is why they use red or green acrylic covers too. Cause they absorb most of the blue light and let only the red and green parts through.

[@JTMakesIt]

Cool! Glad to help and thanks for your input :) I need to try some other acrylic colors as well. Indeed, the switch comes in very handy on the Sculpfun

Here's all you need to know: This Atomstack does NOT have a replaceable lens. WHEN the lens cracks (and it WILL), you will have to buy a whole new module ( $156!) not a lens ($25).

[@JTMakesIt]

This is why newer modules from Sculpfun and xTool have this feature. Check my newer reviews. The lens can crack if you don't clean it too often.

A few :) they are not free. They take around 50 hours of video work to make these videos.

[@shelby50411]

Ok let me rephrase it to be non political...how many machines have you received from manufacturers at no charge?..i may start doing reviews..so many people getting thousands of $$$ worth of products by simply creating a 5min video...slthough urs was much more involved.

[@JTMakesIt]

@@shelby50411 I have received around 8-10 machines. A few I have bought myself and I have received others for free to test. First you need to spend years to make a well established channel with a significant number of subscribers in order to get noticed by manufacturers. No one is going to send a machine to a channel with less than a few thousand subs.

[@vikdias7299]

great work !

[@pfdk8066]

Can they cut 10mm thickness acrylic?

[@JTMakesIt]

No, it is just too thick. Maximum I would say is 5mm for these two machines. And for Sculpfun S9(check my review) the max should be 7 to 8mm. This is for black acrylic. You can cut thicker, but it would be too slow to be practical. I think the S9 could cut 10mm arcylic but at a very slow speed and many passes.

[@common64]

Atomstack has the worst possible focusing system (you have to be very careful not to tilt it when tightening the screws); pity that Sculpfun has only a slightly better system; I have an a5 pro and objectively it is not a great machine because of the poor precision focusing, so I'm looking at the various reviews just to look for some better engraver

[@JTMakesIt]

I agree, Atomstack focusing system is not as good. The Sculpfun system is better, because you can also remove the acrylic guard and then you have 2cm of clearance between head and material. It comes in very handy when engraving weird objects like an axe or spoons where you can easily focus the laser at some lower point and not worrying about the head hitting something higher on the object. I am testing a new laser machine from Sculpfun right now (not for sale yet), I will release the video this week probably. And I will also post the standard test pattern results on my website hobbylasercutters.com so it will be easy to compare to other machines I tested. The new machine is quite good I must say :)

[@common64]

excellent, as written I am looking at all the reviews of new engravers to understand which one I have to replace the (FOR ME) disappointing Atomstack with and if Sculpfun continues to have the right value for money, maybe I will choose one of their machines. See you next review.

[@AhmetOzgun-t4k]

[@MrJaxparadize]

Do NOT get the Atomstack ANYTHING! It doesn’t work as they claim it does. It may have the settings, but I’ve yet to see any engraving on metals or cut off ability. WEAK AS HELL! Don’t waste your time folks! It’s not a plug and play, it’s a “hope you got your degree in this crap!”

I am not a native english speaker, my pronunciation is not clear and well understandable to every viewer. Also I don't have a good speaking ability. Nobody is good at everything. I am good at making things. This is why I use this software in the videos that have a lot to be told.
