The media could not be loaded. Please note; my photos and videos reflect the machine AFTER several upgrades. Read review for details. After hours of researching, my wife and I chose this machine to replace our Glowforge. So far, we love it! It's much faster, quieter, more powerful, and larger than our Glowforge, for less money. That said, this was after several expected/necessary upgrades... read on for more detail. Packaging 1) This is delivered via an LTL carrier, so be prepared. It's not light, so have a space for the to leave it where the machine can sit out of your way if you'll need a bit before you can open it. 2) Don't be a dummy like me and pry off the lid. The top shell of the crate and the bottom pallet itself are attached by a few screws around the bottom of the create. Removing those screws will allow you to take the top shell off quite easily thereby revealing your new laser without nearly the effort and without lots of exposed staples. 3) The unit is screwed into the pallet to avoid shifting. Everything was packaged quite securely. There were minor imperfections to our unit, but nothing we couldn't live with. 4) This unit is HEAVY. We had to move our unit up a flight of stairs, and I quite literally thought we'd never make it. Along this note, the base/stand can be detached from the primary unit by way of a bolt in each corner that's located inside of the various panels. Very easy to do, and necessary for fitting it through most doorways. Initial Setup 1) Their instruction manual isn't great. Use the time you're waiting for delivery to watch other unboxing and setup videos. You'll be much better prepared. There are also some Facebook groups you should join; just search for Chinese laser to find them. 2) The tube does comes in the crate with the machine, but it isn't installed; you'll need to do this. 3) There was a label instructing us to use a ceramic enclosure to attach wire the tube, but the ceramic cap/enclosure wasn't included. A tube of silicon sealant was, however, so we used that along with large wire nuts and silicon tubing to wire the laser tube to the machine. It is very important that you get this right to prevent arcing which is dangerous to you, the machine, and the laser tube. 4) We never tried their included laser tube cooling system (aquarium pump); we bit the bullet and had an industrial chiller waiting when the laser arrived. I can't imagine using their cooling system, and highly suggest a cooler (details below.) 5) We initially had a water leak from one of the internal cooling tubes; this was remedied quite easily by tightening the hose clamp, but keep an eye out since a leak could be easy to miss and cause you serious issues. Cutting/Engraving Performance 1) Our machine's alignment was pretty badly off. We managed to correct this pretty quickly, however, and are happy to report that the machine cuts and engraves very well and quite rapidly. 2) Someone reported receiving an EFR laser tube (well respected brand of tube.) I'm not sure that the tube we received was EFR (it's not labeled as such like other EFR tubes are), but it does have an EFR model number on the label. 3) Their air assist solution is quite weak for cutting wood. Upgrading to compressed air will give you significantly better results (details below.) 4) This machine creates a LOT of smoke, and the included exhaust fan is woefully inadequate. If you're using this machine indoors, you'll need to upgrade (details below.) Overall, the core machine is really solid and a great value. We do not regret our purchase at all, and a 5-star rating reflects such. That said, anyone buying this should realize that a majority of the supporting systems are just starting points. To obtain optimum quality, efficiency, longevity, etc, you'll need to be prepared to make some updates. To make those updates, you'll need to be handy or experienced in using Youtube. Here are my suggested updates along with the major parts/pieces (not exhaustive/inclusive....just the major stuff or harder to find stuff.) 1) The default interior lighting is terrible; you can't see anything because it's so dim. We replaced the existing strip lights across the back and added them all the way around the bed (as reflected in the video/photos.) The LED strip lights must be 24v. Here is what we used: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07PWVD357/ref=cm_sw_em_r_mt_dp_.FtyFb22GWNAT 2) The built-in air assist isn't sufficient for thicker cuts, and there's no way to control it from Lightburn. To remedy this, we use the built-in air assist always, but have a solenoid controlled via Lightburn that supplements it with 10-30 PSI of air from our compressor. You can find a video with instructions by searching. Parts below: Compressor: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07CKRLKM9/ref=cm_sw_em_r_mt_dp_ONtyFbACNH8DJ Tubing/Connectors: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07RJ1BYKV/ref=cm_sw_em_r_mt_dp_SNtyFbV44EWNG Regulator: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07RHP8PQN/ref=cm_sw_em_r_mt_dp_KNtyFbVERBDZW Solenoid: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B083DNP478/ref=cm_sw_em_r_mt_dp_ENtyFbN135CJ6 Pins for Connecting to Controller: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07TPL8HF5/ref=cm_sw_em_r_mt_dp_5MtyFb3E3SE1Y 3) The aquarium pump isn't great for cooling your laser tube. Upgraded to a certified S&A CW-5000 chiller to handle this. You'll also want to replace the plastic inlet/outlet connectors on the back of your machine with brass. 4) The built-in exhaust fan won't work...certainly for indoors use. We switched to the following fan: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07FPFVZTZ/ref=cm_sw_em_r_mt_dp_-MtyFb5WN2A69 With some ingenuity, you can replace the built-in fan with the fan unity from the AC Infinity to still have a built-in exhaust system. You'll also want to selectively seal up some holes in the machine to optimize your exhaust airflow. 5) Lightburn sells a camera; do it! It makes aligning stuff so much easier. These are the major upgrades; we're still tweaking and making other minor modifications such as changing the exhaust fan to only come online when the machine is actually cutting (along with a delay timer to keep it running for a few minutes after the job is done.) Edit: Update on July 15, 2021 - Still loving this machine! It has been extremely reliable, and we can't imagine using anything else. Still cutting/engraving just as well as day 1. And, this is despite it making a trip back down the stairs and to another state when we moved earlier this year. As long as you're okay doing the initial modifications/tinkering, you won't be disappointed.

After using an Epilog laser cutter at my local makerspace I was not expecting the same quality but I did want something I could use at home as my makerspace has been open and closed during the pandemic. I ordered this laser based on some of the reviews I read and the youtube videos online. The quality of this laser is pretty low and I think you have to expect that as a cheap chinese laser when this only costs $3000 compared to the same Epilog laser that costs $15000+. Of course this has a lot of stripped down functionality and you will probably want to upgrade this machine somewhat. In terms of the overall build quality of the machine I would rate it at about a 7 out of 10, although my machine did come with some scuff marks on the paint and some scratches on the acrylic lid. The workmanship is really poor as the edges of the lid look like the acrylic was scored and snapped instead of cleanly cut as the edges have a few jagged sections where the "snap" was not very clean. These scratches, scuffs and jagged edges are purely cosmetic and not going to affect the performance of your engraver so in my case I did not reach out to the supplier or amazon and just accepted them as part of a low end engraver. In terms of the internal z axis though, the acme threaded rods appear to be of good quality and the bed raises and lowers easily although it has to be done manually by turning one of the threaded rods. The laser comes with a bucket and water pump for the cooling system and while this probably works adequately I opted to upgrade to an industrial water cooler. From most of the reviews I read and watched on youtube it appears this laser used to come with an external extraction fan. Mine did not come with that and so I again purchased an industrial external unit and some 6" hose to connect it. While this does have some limited air assist, it is woefully inadequate and I also upgraded to an air assist kit from Cloudray (find it on the Cloudray store on Amazon). You can find most upgrades by searching for this laser engraver on youtube. All in all you will probably spend another $1000 in upgrades to get this laser to a suitable level for some serious cutting, although if you only do the occasional engraving or cutout the base minimum product as it ships will probably be sufficient. I purchased the model which comes with a lightburn software license. The laser defaults to setting the x/y home location in the top right corner. I tried setting it to bottom left in both lightburn and the ruida controller but the laser still started cutting from the top right corner despite the settings. This is probably an easy fix but I could not figure it out or get it working and ended up adding a lightburn camera which makes the starting position unimportant. The last challenge I faced was the kerf of the cut, it is really wide. I am sure this is related to the focus and settings so you will need to play around a lot with the hight and settings to get everything figured out and optimal for your unit. You get a small piece of acrylic which indicates the hight the laser head should be above the material, but again, doing this is error prone and you may want to consider upgrading to an autofocus system. Overall, despite the shortcomings of this unit it is a reasonable engraver at a low cost but I think most people are going to have to spend additional money to upgrade some of the functionality and be prepared to tinker a lot with the settings to get it working just right.

Laser arrived and manual did not correspond to laser cutter and gave instructions for installing laser tube that did not conform but they worked hard to solve it and stayed in close touch with me. All is good now. Excellent laser, great value

Very powerful machine. But if you are new to co2 lasers, be prepared for the learning curve. I would get the water chiller with it.

OMG Where to start...I mastered all things laser cutter on a cheap machine that was cheap and fun, then upgraded to the Orion 100W 500mm x 700mm. Lightburn is super awesome and VERY easy to use. Took me ten minutes to figure out how to make it work. You will need to be handy. The tube may come broken as it is a long trip and a heavy machine - though it is VERY well packed. They use the steel frame of the machine inside the wooden crate to surround the tube in it's cushioned box. Some things to note: Buy an "industrial chiller" - Model 5000 is about right for this machine if you work it hard. Install an analog ammeter in the ground side of the tube so you can know for sure what tube is running. Vent - with forced evacuation. I bought a 120V quiet high volume blower to keep the cabinet clear. Rotary table settings for "steps per rev" are 8000 - BUT ONLY IF YOU BUY THEIR ROTARY. If you "just grab one on Amazon because you can fix anything!" - you may need to calibrate it but that is easy. Orion Tech Support is super responsive and friendly. The laser tube it ships with is an MCW. I bought a Reci because I plan to beat on the machine all day. The tube it comes with will last fine as long as you keep it to 20mA (23mA for 100W is spec but I wouldn't)
