Adam tries a Laser Engraver - Wood Ring, Master Sword Triforce / Banggood 1600mw Blue Burner

- Опубліковано 15 чер 2016
- In this video, I test out a 1.6w (1600mw) blue Laser Engraver. Banggood sent me one to review. See the links below for more details. To make it work you need to download the Benbox software on a PC. The software is available for free. It does not run on a Mac yet. The ring and sword came out perfect. Better than I could do by hand.
The laser I used is discontinued but here's the newer model with a more powerful laser and larger working area: www.banggood.com/custlink/mvv...

Thanks so much for watching and for all your support. I am super grateful to every one of you for watching, commenting, sharing and being the whole reason I upload these videos! - Навчання та стиль
Hey I saw your channel and I showed my father it. We watch almost all of your videos together and it really helps me get closer with my dad. We recently moved houses and we had to give up all of our tools because we were short on money so now we are trying to rebuild our workshop!
I have been excited ever since I Saw your channel. I have made about 10 veneer rings since I watched your tutorial. The first five were mediocre, but then I got a nice pack of wood veneer, and some CA glue, and now they look good enough to gift!
Thank you for giving me something to do to cure my summer restlessness
Your videos are so great! I love making projects with wood and metal, so im really glad I found your channel when I saw your first wooden sword video 2 year ago!
Super cool! I was looking at these awhile ago. Now that I saw yours in action I'm def getting one before x-mass. Thank you!
Thank you for posting these videos! They help greatly for us beginners. I appreciate you sharing the give away products from Bengood and the coping saw looks mighty handy!
Glad I saw you had a video posted today. That laser engraver is pretty cool. Impressed that you found out how to use it with minimal instructions.
My son and I SAW your ring making video and are in the process of trying out our own Veneer rings. We are also in the process of making the link sword with no power tools as well. I look forward to all of your projects so that my son and i can have new things to try and learn together.
Thanks
David Sevey
glad to see you back on, I SAW you on your last video which I also enjoyed. thank you for all your hard work and tutorials. I do not own any power tools so this would be a great addition to my screw driver set.
I saw your Amazon store and thank you for setting that up. Finding the materials used in DIYs is sometimes difficult.
Honestly, I didn't know what to expect from this video, but I was very pleased with what I saw.
I SAW this video and I definitely want one of these CNC laser engravers. Thanks for showcasing this product!
Great review and tutorial. One of the best I've SAW on UA-cam.
I saw this channel today, and I'm surprised at how awesome it is, usually i stick to 3d printing and smithing but your videos are great!
Great to see you back again. Enjoy the summer, and have dreat days
Thanks!
+HappyAtom , can you do the Steven Universe Shield and Sword Please
I've made several wooden rings and burned stuff into them, showed my wife what you did with the ring and now shes looking up prices, great video, and yes, we liked what we SAW too :D
Your point about keeping ‘settings notes’ is ESSENTIAL!!! I have a much more powerful laser engraver/cutter system and have notebooks full of settings information for different materials and projects. Unless you want to waste material each time you want to start a project, keep notes for power settings, travel speed, air flow, laser kerf, box joint clearances, etc. Great video. I’ve been wanting something less powerful / more portable and this looks like a great solution. I have been wasting my 60 watt laser on projects that don’t require anywhere near that power. I manufacture my own PCB’s and this looks like it would work perfectly. Thanks for the great demonstration!
Awesome to see a great engraver demo :)
I got excited wether I saw the saw. You made me want to save for a laser engraver. That's sombre awesome detail work.
I have been looking into laser engravers and cutting systems. I thought your video was very educational and gave me a lot of information as to what they can do, especially at that 1.6mw rating. I love Banggood, will check it out since I SAW it on your channel.
Adam, I just watch this video, I came across it randomly via UA-cam. Great work. I really like how you explain and show everything. I am looking to build this laser kit this winter as my winter hobby project for cutting foam board to cut out RC Airplane parts. This is the best review I have seen on the Laser. Thank you.
I see that you are in Utah, woo woo! I am down by American Fork / Highland.
All the best,
Dave.
I saw your video on the rings and the laser. Love it. A lot of ideas going in.
wow all those zelda things were amazing. I AM IN LOVE WITH THAT RING. ESPECIALLY WITH THAT HYLIAN SCRIPT. absolutely beautiful work!
I have really enjoyed your videos and then I Saw this one and it was very inspiring I have plans to head out to hobby lobby next week. Thanks so much for a great show.
Love the brass powder inlay, great idea - need to check your other videos for that.
Excellent demo and great user info... many thanks!
I saw you video and I love what you are doing. I just graduated from architecture school and I have always enjoyed creating jewelry. I am into making wood jewelry and I am into laser cutting things. This video really help with understand this machine because i am used to a much larger machine. I do think i will enjoy this one. only wished that it cut the wood material.
thank you for a great vision I SAW some great ideals
Thank you for explaining how to work the wood burner, I have been looking into buying the same exact model and my only reason not to buy it was I didn't know how to work it. And I hope your sin is happy with the things you make him 🙂. And I hope that "saw" goes to somebody who needs it
You used a lot of effort and energy I'm glad I found your channel and the saw
Just watched this video and saw the laser burner. So now I have another toy I want to add to my toy box. Love the vids keep up the good work. I will be keeping an eye on you.
the first time i saw your channel it was the master sword vids. I love your projects.
Nice video. It helps me a lot. Thanks Adam.
Great video,been thinking of getting into crafting. I think you just pushed me over the edge. Thank you
i saw a lot of your videos and i love them.love your work keep them up
been thinking about a engraver for a while....saw this one and just bought it......thanks
great videos! glad I found your channel. saw a lot of projects I want to try
Great laser vid. I buy a lot from Banggood and I SAW what you were lasing and found a Ring of truth in all you said. Keep em coming.
yes finely I have been waiting for this video thx Atom
I am thinking about the A5 for my wood turning. Thanks fora great video SAW
i was going trough my videos and saw u had a new one, so i had to check it out.
Great review and techniques, thanks for sharing!
I want one of those lasers. They look real handy. The saw looks useful also.
Great demo on the laser, I'm considering getting one, but don't know much about them. Thanks for the info.
Belarch 1 if you just want to engrave there's some cheaper lasers for less price that di the same. If you want to make things then look into getting a laser cutter.
Awesome review. I have been looking for a laser engraver but it's hard to get honest reviews. I may have to pickup one of these for my shop. I saw some good tips in your video regarding setting the laser and tuning the software. Thanks!
very cool stuff. i love using small saw blades used in a utility knife
I saw this video and got excited! I live in a condo and am interested in starting to do woodwork. :)
Finally a perfect review!
Hi Adam, I'm a new subscriber. I saw your video of the Kylo Ren lightsaber Kendama and I was amazed by your skill with woodworking! I've been binge watching the rest of your videos all day today. I'm going to be trying some of your projects starting with the "Link's sword" tutorial I saw, and then the scabbard afterward. If it comes out nicely it will be a gift for my niece. Thanks for the great video tutorials and the patterns. I'm so happy that I saw you in my suggested videos list! Have a great day!! :-)
Thanks for the great videos. Nice saw.
This helped a lot, thanks. Mainly the fact that I needed to load firmware, before that I couldn't get the axis to move or the laser to burn at all!
I will be looking at the laser engraver you demonstrated, Thanks....
Great work and I love the ring good job
Thanks Adam, you have got another subscriber.
I'm gonna have to quit work and start doing all of these projects I'm finding on here! Lol,
Very cool engraver.
I'm really happy that I saw this video.
That is a really nice saw and seems like it would be very useful for building your projects👍🏻
right after I Saw your ring video. I have been wanting to make one. but I didn't know what to use for glue. Thinks for helping me find the right kind.
No problem!
FYI on the super glues. I turn pens and pencils. We use CA glue a lot for finish. so stores like Woodcraft will usually carry a variety of CA glues, Thin (fast) Med (Medium) and Thick (slow)
good work on the saw!
Suggestion for lining up precise pieces like the cube:
Have another file with the same cube dimensions that just cuts the outline of the square. Engrave the square onto a piece of cardboard or MDF. Then you can place the cube right on top of the engraved square for perfect alignment!
Look what I just found. It's for 195.90 USD

Enjoy!!!

That saw would be so handy in my projects and your projects!
Love the saw too!
I had a saw just like that. I used it so much the piece that keeps the saw blade attached broke. still haven't gotten one one again. that looks like a really nice one. that glass blade thing looks useful too.
Love the vídeo, I still haven't been able to do half tones.
Nice! I can't make stuff as good as yours because my saw blades aren't very sharp but hopefully I'll get some new ones pretty soon.
If you want the software to keep your settings upon closing, open in 'administrator'. Mine keeps my settings this way!
Awesome work Adam, I have the exact same laser. more recently I had problems with it being very erratic and not pulsing the laser off between cuts (laser would stay on) and noticed the main laser MOSFET (large transistor) on the main board getting VERY hot. I found that it was getting so hot it was desoldering itself off the board!. What I did was resolder the legs down and replaced the arduino NANO with a new one (better quality) and re-flashed the firmware. it now runs better then new, smother steps and seems to be a more solid unit now. I'm looking to do modifications down the track by using larger aluminum rails and longer belts to get a larger surface cut and also adjusting the laser to hang under the Y axis to alleviate the 'offset' of the laser, giving me more room to cut. I look forward to following the rest of your videos using this machine. (can't wait for a more user-friendly option to benbox to be released, as I feel your pain with some of the options and how clunky it can be... it doesn't like large and detailed DXF files I have found.) look me up at www.wastedprops.com for some of my work. keep up the great videos.

I got my first tool kit for Christmas and I've been slowly adding to my collection but I still don't have a saw.
this can cut hard wood 1mm thickness? if yes, at wich speed? what is the power of the laser?
Holy shit, I just searched for a video that shows the laser engraver
and this is only 22 minutes old!
love how into zelda you guys are
Saw your video , turned out sweet
nice video!!! love all with wood projects SAW
Great video, I still have problems burning shades and half tones
good job, thanks for the video
great saw love he work good job
nice work i like wat jou make
Good info, thanks
When I saw the scope of your video, I was so thrilled to see someone do a really in depth review of this laser. I've been considering getting once of these for a long, long time and your video sold me. I was wondering, do you think your laser could cut through a thin piece of mdf or laser friendly plywood if you took enough passes at it? Thank you again for doing this video and I hope to hear from you soon.
Great video I saw the laser engraver on banggood.com, and will.ordered. seems great prices. I will keep watching ur videos.
Nice demo of the laser engraver. I was curious how the 1.6 W laser would work. Looks like it worked well.
I see from the end of this video that you really like this versatile saw. It reminds me of a similar saw that I had seen in a hardware store, except that one lacked the multi-directional capability of the saw I had just seen in you video, though both were made over seas, which was obviously an oversight in design as plainly can be seen by anyone that saw your video, see?
Concerning the questions on wood finishing with Super Glue. Pen turners have been using C/A finish for quite some time and have learned many tips and tricks. Take some time and review some of their videos. Do not use cloth when applying a C/A finish that is very bad advise. Blue paper towels are better than white paper towels, yet can still be problematic. A nitrite glove or plastic bag slipped over a finger works best IMHO.
For a better super glue finish, you want to build your finish by using multiple coats.On a turned wood ink pen I sand to 600 grit, then use between 9-15 coats of thin C/A. Multiple layers gives you a very durable base that you can sand and polish.I then use Micro mesh from 1500 grit to 12000 grit for final sanding. Last step is to use an acrylic polish.
If you have gone to great lengths to create a wonderful product, take the extra time to give it a proper finish.
That is an amazing machine!! I want one :)
Super happy that I SAW this video . Loved how you explain things and you are available to answer questions . I am a jeweler and I'm fascinated with wood and other materials to laser inscribe ( if that's what you call it ) how much does that laser cost?
I saw a saw sawing a saw with a saw... awesome video 👍
Yay I just SAW a new video!!!!
I really like the video I saw!
Love the video
The reason the super glue smokes is because there is a chemical in most paper towels that speeds up the curing of the super glue. Blue shop paper towels doesn't do that and that is what I use when applying a superglue finish to the pens I turn on a wood lathe.
Hello. I's wonderful video. Thank You so much!
love to watch your video bought myself a 2500mw from Banggood.com it does work on windows XP
i love to do some project especially the ring thing and I SAW very amazing thing that can make that lazer printer.. but im from Philippines Thanks a lot God speed and more power
That is so cool.
I really enjoyed what I saw on your video. i have one of the 5.5w Elek lasers... rather than using the benbox software, i am using t2 laser... it took a bit to get it installed, but doesn't come with a virus which is a big plus in my book.
good to know! Thanks for the info, I'll look it up.

you've had this machine for a while now. anything you can tell me about it? did you get it to work with vinil? what else did you make with it? is it worth it?
I saw this video and had to share.
good video, can you please post the settings you used to engrave the logo on the wooden sword ? I have a 5.5w but I couldn't get it to produce such a result in your video.
Just found your channel. Really enjoying all the info. I have a question How deep can these types of lasers burn in? Would a more powerful laser work better for deeper burns? I saw a 5500mW version of this one on banggood. Looking forward to your reply.
My first time here, very cool I like the way you explain things, I am curious on how well this machine would burn a name on a aluminum anodized mug?
