  • My first Fiber Laser review! In the title it says great for metal and plastic, but let's test it with 3D printed plastic too!

    In the video I tested Fiber Laser with different metals, plastic, rock..
    My favourites possibilities are:
    - Engraving on anodized aluminum, we can have almost photographic quality
    - Fast marking on steel (especially if we use outlines)
    - Removing of the rust
    - Deep engraving on brass (and rock). We can create nice coins for example.
    - Marking on plastic (from 3D printed plastic, only on PLA I couldn't get nice result)
    The GLaser software needs some improvement, because G2 is not compatible with LightBurn.
    From equipment, I like the rotary roller, it can accept longer cylindrical objects too, but the chuck needs some improvement in the design, to be more user friendly.

    I like that very resourceful adapted a vacuum cleaner as a makeshift fume extractor.

    looks really cool, didn't know you can color stuff with a laser like this :)

    Very informative video, you've conveyed much that I was not aware of thanks to your presentation! At this cost it is rather high but, there are certainly many features that make it worthwhile. Something you are perhaps well aware of but, please be careful of your health and others in the vicinity as those fumes (especially from metals containing any amount of nickel - i.e. stainless steel). This fume exposure is high in hexavalent chromium particles which can be very destructive to pulmonary and respiratory organs among other things. Thank you for another very fine video Mr Igor! Now to convince my financial advisor (the wife lol) to allow me to add one of these to my collection!

      Thank you. In case that you get green light from your wife, you coul use the affiliate link :-) I am planning another shorter video, just testing it with many other materials, showing the results and used settings. Any wish what material to test?

      @@MyTechFun what would results be if possible for glass, fiberglass, porcelain, marble, mirror, ceramic perhaps? It looked quite impressive on the stone! I also liked the ability to do colors despite variation between parts. Is it possible to do multiple color finish for each file sent to laser?

    As for the rotary, you can use a 0.1mm segment too.

    Can this laser machine remove the reflective layer of a glass mirror ?

    Can it work with light burn? Do you have to use the gweike software?

    • @MyTechFun
      @MyTechFun  4 місяці тому +1

      They are working on LightBurn compatibility, but currently you have to use GLaser.

    it takes quite a long time, but is it possible to cut holes/shapes out of thin aluminium/brass?

    • @MyTechFun
      @MyTechFun  4 місяці тому

      Yes, as you can see, brass easier than alu. But many passes are needed.

      Seems like it would be good for solder stencils. A weirdly specific application.

    Engraving dark colored plastics should , settings should be 1000mms, 20% power 30hz

      Thx. I will test it soon.

    Érdekes, bár szerintem inkább csak marketing fogás az aramid szál. (polimer-polimer között nem hiszem, hogy olyan komoly mechanikus kapcsolat alakulna ki…)
    Esetleg egy tesztre van lehetőség Uram?
