    Absolute smash out of the park review and demo. Otur should be paying you.
    I'd talked myself out of getting this but you answered every preliminary question I had. Now I actually see the NEED for this in my project and it's an entirely different perspective.
    My budget battles are between 3D printer resin supplies or getting additional hardware. I think I'm sold. This is an investment.

    I just bought an Ortur 15W Master Laser 2 and your video helped me so so much to get it up and running. The best hint was that I have to hold the shift-key when I want to turn on the laser while running along the frame. Many thanks!!

  • @sp404ex
    @sp404ex 3 роки тому +6

    The thoroughness of this presentation is impressive. I ordered the "20watt" version based on a first viewing. I appreciate your clarification of input versus cutting power, as well as a live demo of what can be accomplished with this unit. The Ortur is preferable to the similarly priced Chinese K 40 CO2 lasers IMHO because the K 40s, while more powerful, the build quality and included components seem spotty at best, and the the setup is more difficult. Many CO2 lasers tout pass through capability, a feature that would obviously be easy to implement. The easy customization of an extrusion based frame makes it easy to implement changes to expand capabilities. If this proof of concept laser works for me, I will likely order a larger more capable FullSpectrum machine, while retaining this surprising capable machine.
    Thank you!

You have the gift of very good communication of the essence of what can be rather difficult or hard to get across on something not everyone watching may be familiar with the topic. Thanks for such a lucid and valuable review of a great tool for a DIY'r like me.

I am a retired old man with too much time on my hands and I can't wait to add a laser to my toys. Thank you.

    I was considering a FS Muse system, but I wanted to begin to understand the technology before taking the plunge. When i saw this system a while back I thought it's a toy that could not cut more than paper, and so I stayed away. Buying a K40 type laser did not appeal to me although there is a great deal of information on dealing with that type of systems shortcomings. I'm a design engineer, so the upgrade process didn't scare me from the technical point of view, but I did not want to take on another project of that type at this time.
    When I found this video, I bought my OLM2 based on this presentation, especially when i learned that it had the capabilities you have shown. Since then, I have been inspired to take the journey, following the learning paths that you linked to.
    Thank you.

    You should take these comments and use them in your resume for this company. I bet you could easily get hired by them as the new video/PR guy.
    Sold I’m ordering one next month because of this review.
