can i get a 60w module and conect it to the 40w, ?
@SteveMakesEverythingАй бұрын
In theory you can you do this, though you’d need to confirm this with Creality. Realistically it’s probably cheaper to sell your 40W laser and then re-buy a 60W version

Great video! Do you think you can engrave at 20W, then switch to 60W for cutting and NOT move the laser head/position?
@SteveMakesEverything3 ай бұрын
Yes, absolutely. The laser doesn’t move too freely. If you are giving minor concern to keep it in position you will have no trouble

Can you do a firmware and light burn set up, I just ordered the 60 watt it's supposed to be here by the end of the month, thanks
@SteveMakesEverything7 ай бұрын
The user manual documents the firmware update pretty clearly, so no worry there. Lightburn was equally easy since the "Find My Laser option worked without a hitch.

Thanks, I hope I made the right decision, I was looking at the Ikier 70 watt but decided on this one

Have you had any problems with the speed, seems like mine doesn't go over 8000mm checked the machine settings and everything ok there, i can tell the module isnt moving any faster at 24000mm than 8000mm and the burn i do proves it, both the same, hopefully you can help
@SteveMakesEverything6 ай бұрын
This would depend on what you are engraving. If it is small then the laser will spend a lot of time speeding up and slowing down for direction changes. I’m not sure how laser companies measure with speeds but this is a dubious marketing number at best
@djs75156 ай бұрын
It was a big engraving around 12 inches done at 24000mm it didn't move any faster or engrave any deeper or darker at 8000mm, also I didn't update the firmware, it cuts really well at 1500mm on 3mm plywood

@@djs7515 I've tried a similar experiment with several different lasers and saw similar results - hence my skepticism of posted speeds. However when I've looked at the Falcon 2 in the past, my engraving benchmark test was pretty clearly capped at 24000mm/m, so I'm confused. I'm really starting to wonder if laser companies aren't somehow cooking the results for material tests, but in the real-world their lasers are much slower. (Maybe this is like Volkswagon's DieselGate a few years ago 😏

Sent creality a email about this, they got back to me today with this answer, 24000mm is slower than 8000mm, I don't know what kind of math they use over there, anyway the machine cuts like a champ and that's what I use it for I got other lasers that I use for engraving

@@djs7515 I'd question their math too. But regardless, as you've discovered, this is a pretty solid laser, especially if you do a lot of cutting.

I'm looking for a laser that I can engrave items that are not restricted to the size of the laser bed, longer, but also will not break the bank? What do you suggest? Thanks

I'm working with the Wecreat Vision and conveyor now, maybe you want to wait for that one.
