Longer Ray 5 Laser Engraver: 3.5" touch screen offline controller with Wi-Fi Support

[@Mat_1000]

It's been a few months that I'm watching your reviews, and I must say I'm super impressed! Other reviews I have seen often forget to talk about important aspects of the products, but you always have such clean and proper reviews. It's clear, it covers every aspect, it's very well explained in a short time, and it makes your videos so pleasant to watch. I don't know what you do and what your brother does exactly on those videos, but you both are just doing excellent work ! And I wanted to take some time to sincerely thank you for this. I know that if I finally buy a 3D printer some day, it would have to have been tested by you first, or else it won't even be on my list. Thanks both of you for your hard work on this channel! Cheers from France!

Today you taught me how to do engraving and cutting in Lightburn and still use the default software of the laser. I am very excited about this. Thank you.

I love your outtakes!

[@MicrobyteAlan]

Another great review, it was interesting, informative and well presented. Thanks

[@RB-yq7qv]

Very well done again

[@almosh3271]

I wish that you lived next door. I bought a Longer machine just like the one in the video. I have no intrest to engrave but to CUT wood. When I cut wood the edges looks like burnt charcole. I have no idea how to correct that. I design my own workpiece using Sketchup, and conver the file to DXF extention. When I open that file in Laser GRBL is when I get burnt edges. Your vidio is nicely done!!

[@mmhelinski6261]

Do you run a 3d print farm with all of your printers? I'd love to see reviews on all of your printers about their long term reliability. As well as what upgrades were done to increase their ease of use and reliability.

How this laser work on acrylic ?? Longer ray 5 10w

[@EdGodoyPlana]

I have never used a Laser engraver or cutter but I have been considering purchasing one. Is there a specific one you would recommend? I saw your recent review of the Ender 3 S 1 Pro. I currently ha an Ender 3 v2 that I upgraded with an all metal Micro Swiss Hot end. I just ordered as a second 3 D printer the Ender 3 S 1 Pro. I found you video review excellent . Have you reviewed the add on Laser engraver that Creality is selling for the Ender 3 S 1 Pro for about $75? Is it worth to get it or should I just get a stand alone laser engraver, something like this one you are reviewing here? All this s new to me. What would recommend ? Thanks!

I have a laser engraver playlist, please watch those review videos and see which one you like. kzbin.info/aero/PLxGIelsDS8bAjpp0aHjFR45_v-QX5R_Tj For engraving, a 5W laser module is good enough, but if you need to cut thicker wood (8-10mm), you need a 10W laser. Personally, I don't use a laser module on a 3D printer, and I won't recommend anyone to do that. First, the laser module for 3D printers is generally lower power, the most common one I saw is a 1.6W, which is only good for very light engraving. Second, you need to adjust the Z offset every time when you put your 3D printhead back. Third, you may accidentally engrave on the print bed and damage it. Finally, the working area is small, just as large as the print bed.

[@EdGodoyPlana]

@@AuroraTech thanks! Very informative! I will Check your links to the laser engraver playlist.

[@clauderaasch624]

Do you do screen share? I cannot get my longer to connect to lightburn by any means

[@Rmy6]

How connect mobile aplication with device? please

[@smdscreensign5193]

Is acrylic not engraving

[@dawnmason9558]

I have this engraver but I am having problems getting the iP address computer interface.I have downloaded the engraving app but still cannot import patterns. I really need a few of these to do step by step. Shame there is no troubleshooting anywhere that I can access.

[@clauderaasch624]

I am having problems connecting to lightburn. Both by USB connection and wifi

[@buildersmark]

Have you reviewed a fiber laser at or higher than 20watt output with a 300 x 300 plate volume?

[@tweekFPV]

👍🏻👍🏻

[@AuroraTech]

You are always the first! :)

[@jnssmnsn]

Can this cut acrylic plastic ? If you've tested, how thick ?

[@Broughtvulture]

Have you tried engraving/cutting with Metal? Do you think it would be possible to cut Stainless Steel with this?

[@HalcyonGuitars]

Is the dimensions hardwired into the software, or could one enlarge the working area by extending the rails?

[@Xajein1]

So would you say this is better laser than the twotree tts-55

[@AuroraTech]

Similar, actually, most 5W modules are pretty much the same

[@nevin7011]

​@@AuroraTech what is the effect of not using a honeycomb bed?

[@alexherrera3918]

Great review. Do you have a preference between this Longer Ray and the Comgrow (COMGO Z1- LD+FAC 40W) )? I am looking for a laser just to cut balsa for airplanes but not really engraving. I hope you can comment. Thanks

[@AuroraTech]

For cutting, the comgrow 10w or any other 10w would better than a 5w.

[@jinhuayuan6341]

Second! 😁

[@jstro-hobbytech]

You've got so much stuff you're gonna have to donate a few printers to a school. Haha. I know the owner of a bug KZbin electronics channel and he sells everything he gets instead of donating it to schools for science teachers. It's pathetic. He gets oscilloscopes and multimeters, rpis, learn to code kits. Posts it all on Facebook. Hypocrite. I'm disabled and retired and I used my printers to make toys for charity and buy learn to code kits along with acoustic guitars to donate to others with mental health issues who are high functioning like me or I donate them to people without means to buy the things themselves. I've needed a new oscilloscope for the longest time but I do without. Anyway, sorry for my pointless ramble.
