Tip, if you poly, or poly stain your wood first, then laser etch and cut, you are able to remove the burn halos using alcohol and a cloth... It's also easier to brush poly the entire wood before it's cut or etched. Then you can still use the spray after the cleanup for a final coat...

[@Trollgaard1st]

That sounds like a good tip. Do you have a recomendation for the type of poly to use? I've just ordered the S9 and really looking forward to start using it.

[@michaelbassett14]

I’d recommend water based Polyurethane (Ie: polycrilic) because it doesn’t yellow like oil based. Just make sure you stir and don’t shake because you will introduce a ton of micro bubbles in the finish. I also don’t like foam brushes for the same reason.

Thanks for watching! I have never tried cutting MDF, so I can't say it, but the 10mm is about the practical maximum for softer woods. For 10mm Poplar plywood it takes around 20-25 passes at 600mm/min. I think it would need quite a lot of passes. You can go slower and use much less passes, but there would be more charring. For fast cutting of thick boards, you would need much more expensive machine.

Thank you for your effort and a lot of work

Hi, the module is easily replacable and upgradable. It takes a less than a minute to remove the head. The s6 and s9 heads are interchangable and so are the driver boards.

@@JTMakesIt Super cool and thanks for the quick reply! i will order this device with your proposed coupon and i will be very happy to use your advice! I discovered that one side can be extended. do you maybe also know how big this is offered? I am happy to watch your well-structured and well-thought-out lectures again and again. Likewise, I plan the housing like you did in the other video's. Do you have may be plans or a list of components for this? It's just a lot of fun to be here !!

@@gdinternationalpmjr3338 Thank you for watching! It is a pleasure working long hours and producing videos that people like you excited and happy :) I do not know about the extension, but on their site they say that that aluminum profile is standard and I guess you can extend it as long as you like. You would just need to purchase longer belts and cabling would also need to be extended. Maybe they will sell extension kit in the future. But this laser as it is is still very big. As for the ventilation box, I do not have plans and component lists because I built it from the parts I had at hand. I think it is not the best design, but its the best for the materials I had available :) In some of the first videos with laser box I have a link in the description where you can find some more photos with some basic dimensions. Thanks for being awesome and enjoying my videos :)

Hi, Some update! Now you can get replacement laser head for S9 here: hobbylasercutters.com/go/sculpfun-s9-head/ They also have replacement head for S6 and S6 Pro. The heads fit on most laser machines - Atomstack, Ortur, Eleksmaker...

@@JTMakesIt Thank you for your great info and for thinking of me! I will definitely buy this set including the whole machine. I started planning the electronic controls for the fans and sensor detectors for the housing. It will probably be a few more days until the real thing from Sculpfun S9 is there!

I have a question, where do you set the line to cut and the lines to engrave?

[@JTMakesIt]

In Lightburn you can set any line to a specific layer. Each layer is a separate operation (engrave, line, fill., cut.. with specific set of settings like power, and speed and many more)

[@griva1985]

Thanks for the video! Did you cut plywood in jsut one pass? What speed (mm/s)?

[@JTMakesIt]

No I used multiple passes at 600mm/min. You can see how this machine performs for cutting here: hobbylasercutters.com/sculpfun-s9/

[@mansor-xk9iy]

Hey That's a great video and very helpful but I have a question What is that black sheet under the machine ? And where can I buy them ?

[@JTMakesIt]

That is a regular 2mm thick mild steel plate I ordered at a local metalworking shop. It is great because you can fix things with magnets. But with the machine you get a small steel plate as well which is good for a start.

[@mansor-xk9iy]

@@JTMakesIt thank you so much ♥

[@karimmradradwan4449]

What do you recommend the sculpfun s9 or the ortur pro LF laser or the atomstack A5 pro plus the new one Thank you

[@JTMakesIt]

For me personally the S9, because it is the best at cutting

[@karimmradradwan4449]

Did you test the atomstack A5 pro plus the new one ?

[@JTMakesIt]

@@karimmradradwan4449 No, I haven't. There are too many new lasers, I can't keep up with all of them and test them all :) maybe I will soon be able to test it

[@TireSpare]

Thank you for your review on the product. I am looking for a laser cutting machine that cuts 2mm thick royal board thick paper with having the paper burnt while laser cutting it in close. i need to cut 2~10 mm thick acrylics for my architectural scale models. is there it for me?

[@JTMakesIt]

It should br able to cut 2mm paper. The only problem I see is in acrylic. It depends on what color it is. Black acrylic is the easierst to cut but 10mm thick is the very maximum for all machines and they will cut it very slowly. None of the machines will be able to cut transparent acrylic, for it you would need a different kind of laser

[@railgadishort]

Can you send me power speed for cut and engraving for all materials

[@JTMakesIt]

Check the link in the description. I have all settings on my website

[@iq0099]

What about air assist? Can you have that?? Did you try the Masking tape on the top and then cut?

[@chaddeciantis]

What kind of ventilation is required?

[@JTMakesIt]

If you engrave inside your house, at least put some fan to blow smoke out the window so it does not smell.

[@MajidKhan-jr4vk]

is this laser machine good for cutting on vinyl record? want make some design on vinyl record.

[@JTMakesIt]

You can cut vinyl, but cutting vinyl produces toxic gasses which can harm your health and make the machine rust if you do it a lot.
