Finally - I've been waiting for a machine like this one - not too big, not too small - just right for my projects. I've got a very small workshop and this is something I can actually fit safely. Now I've just got to save up for it. Thank you for sharing it.
If this had a 400x400 work area it would be great. I'd rather go with an XTool with a bigger work area and a home built enclosure. Enclosures are super-easy to make. You can just make a plywood box with a hinged lid. You seal it with caulk in the seams and weather stripping on the lid. And for air flow you put a PC fan on the side and a hose coming out the other side you vent to a window. To see you can add some plexiglass to the lid and/or sides. It may not look pretty but it works really well and is cheap.
I’m waiting for someone to release a 40 watt diode with a GloForge bed size fully enclosed with auto air assist, built in rotary, fume extraction, and camera. The Lasermatic Mk2 is closer.
Looks really nice as a starter laser. Very similar to the Rolly, makes it way more fun to have kids help when you are not worried on out little eyes and fingers. Thanks for the preview excited to learn more.
I have seen several reviews now on a few different channels, and really like the machine. Nice and compact design. Good safety features an cool raising mechanism 👍
Very timely video for me. Anxious to see your software tutorial. I want to buy my first laser cutter very soon and this pushes aside the Creality Falcon 2. Thank you!
Looks pretty nice, but the smaller work area is kind of a downer and probably a deal-breaker. It would have been nice if they could have made it on par with most open lasers for a few more dollars.
encloser is not a problem. i would not buy an enclosed one since limits space, also would make it more expensive. you can always make yours also.. would appreciate tho if they included a right tinted glass when you make yours to use it. also people can buy ready made enclosers as an addon (those who want)
It’s not as good. I can tell by the video alone it’s not as well built. Their air assist is also available on Amazon for $36 not $139. Get it there. The tubing is cheap too. That’s a rip off from Xtool, and I wish I could undo it. Also, my blade cut my fire safety cords because they were their own kind of hazard and wouldn’t stay in place so I took that down and counted it as a loss also. I have a love hate with my M1, mostly hate, which is why I am scouring reviews for other lasers. Lol It was a good concept, but they didn’t execute it great. I saw one honest review that fit my feelings exactly, but only after I got it. She was like I am ruining my influencer cred, but this isn’t something I can back, and she actually gained my following with that, not lost it.
Hi there. Looking for my first laser cutter for home use. Premium is on safety. Based on your experience with both extra and we create, which would you recommend?
It does check a lot of my requirement, but I must admit, I would like to have more information before buying it. How the rotary clamps, how the bed looks like, what are the specs of the exhaust port(size and does it include a fan?), I see it is compatible with lightburn, but what does work with it, how burned are wood pieces when being cut with the air-assist. Does the auto-z-adjust allow to move when cutting objects. How confident are we to have the company living long enough to support the warranty Also, there is almost no pictures of the product available on their website :(
It says on their website it cuts clear acrylic. Is that right? Because I thought that was gonna be the game changer you mentioned. Everything else screams knock off of the M1 with higher laser capability. But almost identical. That said, if it will cut clear acrylic, take my money.
@@makeorbreakshop that’s what I thought, but they have clear acrylic shown in two places in their advertisement for it. Will you ask them why they are doing that? It seems deceptive if it can’t.
I have the M1 5watt and have a love hate relationship with it. Too slow and inconsistent. I put in a deposit for this. I bought a K40, but I’m in over my head with that. Wish I had saved that to put toward to less expensive CO2. Out of the budget ones, which one of the CO2 do you recommend? I was looking at Gweike.
Conflicted! Seems a nice bit of kit but do we know the company? The software looks a lot like xcs with a few additions.... Will it run on lightburn? What's the cost? Has it been officially released yet or is it another kickstarter special? Lots more questions to come!
Check the website for the pricing info, it’s a presale but not a Kickstarter. They are saying it will run Lightburn, I need to test it out. On the company side I don’t know a ton about them but it actually feels like a pretty polished from the jump so I bet they’ve got people coming from the industry.
Having to physically interact with the laser after you've sent the file isn't a plus, it's a serious downside. You should be able to just set it going from your PC and crack on, just like with current gen 3D printers.
I think the physical button would be a selling point in a school or even maker space setting. A good safety thing, but totally agree if it’s in a different environment.
Side by side, this machine doesn't even come close to the LaserMATIC MK2, 10/20W, in price, size, R&D or build quality; yes I have both. You can get the 10/30W for the same price. The fact that it doesn't use Lightburn and you can't control the focus makes it a non-starter for me and for most businesses. This is the Glowforge of diode lasers for people who don't want to actually create anything themselves. Good video as always....
I need to check out the LaserMATIC, only hear good things. It does look like it supports Lightburn but that was a pretty recent change I need to try it out.
Another gimmick machine. Loading material a night mare to small. more parts to break down. Will not consider this machine in my list. X tool looks like the one I will be buying
Not Lightburn compatible? That would be a no from me for that reason alone.
Agreed. But I just checked their info page, and they do proclaim Lightburn support as a feature.
It’s showing they support Lightburn but I need to test it.

I guess you didn't have to wait too long!😊
@@krisknowlton5935what machine are you referring to?
I like the way this industry, as well as 3d printing, is going. More complete solutions for consumers, rather than sketchy projects for enthusiasts.

Full review coming?
The software looks suspiciously like creative space. That's a smart move.
M1 from xTool is full enclosure, has the same security lid, a pre calibrate camera, blade cuter and air assist as an option :)

Thank you for the review. Do you think this would cut 3/5oz leather? Thanks
If you look closer is says coming soon uner the lightburn logo. I missed that the first time

When do they start shipping?
Pretty cool machine it seems like it is really well thought out.
I'm relieved to hear the software is local and not cloud based.
Looks like a really nice machine for sure..
I would really think about purchasing one like this is the bed size was larger.
going to get one soon, hoping it will cut 1/2 wood and do 3d engraving

No diode is going to be able to do clear acrylic. I will say overall the build and rising function is a step up over the M1

Very nice, it's a big shame it's only 20W, it should of been at least 30W like the new Roly.

Hi, I want to laser engrave swiss watches. I want perfection. Can you recommend me a laser.
UK based?

@@makeorbreakshop That's an excellent point, I was thinking of it as a home machine rather than a school setting. Good call.

Software runs on Windows?
Rolymatics and the new xtool s1 are also alternatives that (if I’m not mistaken) also solve all these issues
How much $?
Looks like a good option but will it be available outside the US. I'm UK based
Sorry, Lasermatic10 V2 and Lasermatic20 beats this in every aspect that I can think of but thanks for giving us a walkthrough.
Wait. It's Pizza Planet a real place!? I thought it was only in Toy Story.
Haha, I wish…it’s totally a Toy Story shirt
@@makeorbreakshop ah! lol
WORTHLESS WITHOUT THE PRICE..
Another gimmick machine. Loading material a night mare to small. more parts to break down. Will not consider this machine in my list. X tool looks like the one I will be buying
