Congratulations, that’s a wonderful Christmas gift. I’ve never used the limit switches on the laser. Most of them do not come with them. Some people won’t start their machine without the limit switches and that’s ok. Just realize it’s not mandatory. You can get started without them and add them later.

I have had it for a week, a spartan engraver (it does not have endstops, which in my opinion are not essential) and with an improved focus system but with a good ultrafine laser that made me understand how much my previous machine (Atomstack a5 pro) was inadequate by comparison.

The lasers have done extremely well. You must understand that all lasers regardless of the manufacturer have a life span. At full power it is less than time than if you are able to do your engraving at less power. Bottom line, they will all burn out

[@PawPawsWorkShop]

Yes, it is an excellent machine. I will be doing a video shortly showing the cutting and some accessories for it.

[@Nix-Kid2023]

Well, I'm certainly thankful you did this video. I've run into two issues before completing the assembly. One is I cannot square the frame. As I tighten the screws, the machine continually pulls out of square by 1/8" on the diagonal. Spacing between the rails however is consistent, side to side and front to rear. The front two corners are reasonably squared. This problem is irritating as I've been a cabinetmaker for almost 46 years and have squared many many cabinets. Other videos appear concerned with the 0,0 left front corner only. To what extreme should I go to squaring the entire frame? Problem 2 was gantry travel on the rails. It simply did not travel easily or smoothly. Thanks to your explanation regarding setting the eccentric adjustment of the wheels, I was able to loosen/adjust the gantry wheels to allow proper motion. Now, on to the belts. Can you advise me on how critical is absolute squareness? I assume the larger the engraving, the more critical the need for square. Thanks for your help.

Sculpfun has a rubbish and dishonest shipping service I ordered mine on the 5th December thinking I would get my machine shipped by DHL 16th December still waiting!!! AVOID AT ALL COSTS 👎🏼

[@PawPawsWorkShop]

DHL is one of the most difficult shippers and this is the busiest time of the year. It is not the manufacturer fault. You’ll love the laser when you get it

[@AndreChampoux]

OMG, this is not very helpful at all. You don't show which screw you are using, or which piece you are using as you do it. You don't even show each screw that you put in. Showed 2nd t-screw not even close to 90 degrees when tightening 2nd spot on belt. ***This is basically how to put a screw in a hole, not which screw and which hole.

I appreciate you sharing

Want to buy one of these? There are other suppliers than Ban99ood. Choose your supplier wisely! I tried to order a S9 unit through them and got some nasty deception: Order processing forever despite the fact that the item is in stock and despite the tag proud boasting "5 days delivery", unability to cancel the order after 15days of waiting, even if not shipped yet... Time lost in useless chat with bot-like humans. Had to lay a claim by my credit card company, hoping to get money back. A total shame. Be wiser than I was.

[@PawPawsWorkShop]

Wow, thanks for sharing. Yes, please shop around.
