Great video! The explanation of MOPA fiber lasers was really informative. It's fascinating to see how different settings can affect the final results on various materials. The projects you showcased were impressive, especially the color marking on metal. This technology seems to open up a whole new world of possibilities for creators and makers.
Many thanks for the video! Convinced me to go ahead and purchase the exact same model. Could you provide the settings and/or files that you used? It’s hard to get the colors. Also, where did you order the metal cards from?
As you have now mentioned colour - I recently discovered that there is goo that you can paint onto stock to get coloured markings on metal with lasers. I don't think you have ever covered that before. Might be an interesting subject for a video.Incidentally, have you looked into where the colours come from with your fibre ? I'm guessing it is all about crystalline structures and burning out certain alloy components. (and on that - I guess usual warnings about hexavalent chromium coming off stainless steel in the laser smoke).
I'm curious... has ComMarker ever sold a single laser? I'm looking at getting one but the dozen or so reviews I've seen on YT are all from makers who have been gifted these machines. I don't think I've seen a single review where the person actually paid for the machine. I know these reviewers say they are giving an honest review (and I do trust James Dean), but being gifted a $5,000 piece of machinery has got to have some influence.
I bought the 60w B4 Mopa laser. Sales process was easy. What I got was not 100% functional out of the box because they sent me a coupler that didn't fit the focus motor drive shaft. So lame. I had to do the email tag with support to prove that a 6mm shaft won't fit in a 5mm hole. I sent them photos of me measuring them with my calipers, they sent me photos of their machine being measured by calipers and telling me that it should work. Yeah, their machine isn't my machine so their measurements were pointless. I was annoyed and bought one off amazon for $6 but ComMarker support did send me a coupler AND another box with a coupler and replacement motor. Not sure why but they did and I'm not complaining. Despite the part error (which they evidentally addressed after being made aware of it) focus was still possible manually until I got the coupler installed. So far, i'm very impressed with the engraving and build quality. The lightburn profile they supplied got me 90% of the way to perfect calibration. I might just get the omni laser next before the tariffs hit. This was my first deep engraving project... came out pretty good: goto amazon dot com /review/R2281NWKJVLA1K/
No not in the same way as stainless steel. The colors come from different chromium oxides and there is no chromium in aluminum. (Just like there is no “u” in color and no “i” in aluminum) 😬

2%, seriously😅 😐

Amazing as usual
Thank you...amazing machine 👍

Is there a software video showing how to do this in LightBurn or another application?
is that one the next competition prize 😂😂😂 ✔️🙏🤔😀😀
The discount link doesn’t work (for me) but they now have a Halloween sale with 25% off..
That's odd unless discounts can't be combined. The links should always take you to the sale prices anyway. Hope you enjoy the laser 😉
Can you colour engrave aluminium ?
No not in the same way as stainless steel. The colors come from different chromium oxides and there is no chromium in aluminum. (Just like there is no “u” in color and no “i” in aluminum) 😬
What kind of depth of relief does the scorpion coin actually have?
Not actually measured but probably 1-2mm I suspect
@@JamesDeanDesignshi what depth can this master engrave with accurate sharp edges ?
Free laser?
👍
Very cool, but £5000 plus.
